天風会
先週土曜日(30日)、東京の市ヶ谷アルカディア私学会館で財団法人天風会の理事・講師と賛助会代表の連絡会が開催され、
香里賛助会代表として参加してきた。
13時30分から18時30分まで5時間に及ぶ長時間の会議であったが、志を同じくする者の集まりだけに、
和やかな中にも凛としたものを感じる気持ちの良い会合であった。
参加者は40数名、発言を一人3分にしても2時間は優に必要であり、意見を出し合い議論するまでの時間はないが、不思議なもので、
一人ひとりが勝手に意見を言うが、それだけで十分に論議を尽くした形になるのを強く感じた。 普通、
業界や社内の会議などでは少人数であっても、皆が勝手なことを言い出すと、少々時間があっても纏まらないが、
何故かそれぞれの意見を聴くだけで不思議と皆が理解できる感じがあり、真に志を同じくする者の素晴らしさを強く感じた会合であった。
翌日曜日は東京賛助会の日曜行修会に参加。東京の日曜行修会は護国寺の境内、忠霊堂を会場としており、
参加者も90名近い盛況なものであった。指導者は毎日曜日の事ゆえか非常に手馴れたもので、テキパキと指示し、修練はスムーズに進行、
会場内も和やかな雰囲気に包まれ、気持ちよく、香里とはまた一味違った良い修練が出来た。
Last Saturday (30th), a liaison meeting of the directors and lecturers of the Tenpukai Foundation and representatives of the supporting organizations was held at the Arcadia Arcadia Private Institute in Ichigaya, Tokyo.
I participated as a representative of the Kagawa support group.
It was a long meeting, lasting five hours from 13:30 to 18:30, but it was a gathering of like-minded people.
It was a pleasant meeting with a sense of dignity in the midst of harmony.
There were more than 40 participants, and even if each person spoke for 3 minutes, it was still 2 hours, so there was no time to exchange opinions and debate, but strangely enough.
Each person has his or her own opinion, but I felt strongly that it was enough to form a well-discussed form. Usually.
Even if there are only a small number of people in the industry or in a company meeting, if everyone says something of their own accord, even if there is a little time, it will not be a problem.
For some reason, just by listening to each other’s opinions, there was a sense that everyone could understand each other, and I strongly felt the splendor of a truly like-minded person at this meeting.
On the following Sunday, I participated in the Sunday meeting of the Tokyo support group. The Sunday Goshukai in Tokyo is held in the precincts of Gokokuji Temple, Churyeido.
Nearly 90 people participated in the event. The leader was very familiar with every day of the week, and gave quick instructions, and the practice progressed smoothly.
The atmosphere in the hall was very friendly and pleasant, and it was a different kind of training from Kari’s.
