今日の一日、心身統一法
今日は久しぶりに天風会の事にふれてみようと思う。
天風哲人が組み立てた心身統一法と言うのは、その為に特別に時間を取って行うのでは無く、どちらかと云えば、日常生活の中に心身統一法を取り込んで行い、習い性として行くのが最も望ましい姿である。
ところが、本を読んだり、講演を聴いたりで、頭では理解していても、日常生活に取り込んで習い性とすると云うのは、口で云うほど簡単では無く、並大抵の事ではない。
そこで、公益財団法人天風会では地域毎に賛助会組織を創り、その賛助会が中心となり、教えの普及と会員相互の交流や行修の場を提供し、会員が心身統一法を体得し習い性とするまでの応援をしている。
私は、その賛助会のひとつ、香里賛助会の代表を務めている。
天風会に入会したのは平成4年、約20年前のことである。入った動機は不純とまでは云わないが、実はどんな人が天風会をやっているのか、天風会を学んでいる人ってどんな人であろうか？などと、興味本位で平成4年に、香里で開催された講習会に参加したのが最初であった。
実は当時、知人に勧められて、合理化協会から発行された１万円もする高価な本、「真人生の探究」と「盛大なる人生」を購入し読んでいた。感動もし、確かにそうだ・・、と思う事も多々あったが、正直、ここまで積極、積極で人生を肯定的に生きれるものであろうか・・？、こんな教えを学び実行している人って、いったいどんな人達であろう、一度見てやろう、くらいの気持ちであった。
ところが阿仁はからんや、会場には相当年配の、人の好さそうなお爺さんとお婆さんが大半。しかも皆が元気で明るく、ホンワカとした雰囲気で、自分が勝ってに抱いていた、俺がおれが的な感じの人とは大分違っていた。直感で、この会は本間物かも・・・と思った。
以来20年間、決して優等生ではないが心身統一道が性に合った様で、マイペースで今に至っている。
従って今朝も、目覚めと同時に寝床で養動法を行い、ひとり按摩をしながら甦りの誦句と誓いの言葉を黙晶し、その後暫く、安定打坐（天風式座禅）を行って後、洗顔をしながら断定暗示をし、スカッとした気分で、庭に出て、プラナヤマの呼吸、呼吸操錬、統一式運動、積極体操と一通り体操をする。その後、朝食を済ませ、愛犬廣太郎に見送られ、玄関を出ると駅まで17分、早足で歩きながら、呼吸法とクンバハカをミックスして行う、これなどは完全に習い性となっており、意識しなくても歩くときは呼吸法とクンバハカ。電車に乗ると、詰め碁の勉強（全く強くならないが・・・）か天風先生の誦句を暗唱。会社に入れば、仕事本位で統一法を余り意識はしないが、気持ちは積極を常に心がけている。帰宅し、お風呂では安定打坐、就寝前は寝床で安定打坐、命令暗示、就寝・・・・。
日々心がけている事は、今日一日、怒らず 怖れず 悲しまず、正直 親切 愉快に、と誓いの言葉を意識し、事に当っては何事も気無しに行わない、有意注意力を心がける・・・ここまで書くと相当優秀な天風会員である。
しかし、日々小生の生活を横目で見ている女房に言わせると、ご迷惑夫、亭主元気で留守が良い、的な感じで、云うは易く行うは難しで、中々思うほどに上手くは遣れていない。しかし、少なくとも天風会に入る前よりは、入って後の方が樂に生きれている事は確かである。
天風会、心身統一法にご興味のある方は是非ご一報下さい。もしかして、人生が変わるかも・・・・。
今朝、我が家の梅が３輪咲いた。季節は春に向かって確実に動いている・・・寒さもまた楽し。
これが天風会の思い方、考え方。特に天風先生は、日々の生活の中に情味を見出すこと、情味を味わう事を大切にしておられた様である。
Today, I’m going to talk about the Tenpukai for the first time in a long time.
The Unification of Mind and Body Dharma that Tenpū Tetsūjin assembled does not require any special time to do so, but rather, it is best to incorporate the Unification of Mind and Body Dharma into one’s daily life and practice it as a habit.
However, even if you understand it in your mind from reading books or listening to lectures, it is not as easy as it sounds to incorporate it into your daily life and turn it into a habit.
Therefore, the Foundation has created a local support group organization, which plays a central role in spreading the teachings and providing a place for mutual exchange and practice among its members, helping them to learn and practice the Dharma of mind-body unification.
I am the representative of one of those support groups, the Kori Support Group.
It was about 20 years ago, in 1992, when I joined the Tenpukai. I don’t mean to say that my motivation for joining the Tenpukai is impure, but what kind of people are actually doing the Tenpukai and what kind of people are studying the Tenpukai? The first time I participated in a seminar held in Kori in 1992 out of curiosity.
As a matter of fact, at that time, on the recommendation of an acquaintance, I had purchased and read two expensive books published by the Rationalization Society, “The Quest for True Human Life” and “The Great Life”, which cost 10,000 yen. I was moved, and there were many times when I thought that it was true, but honestly, I don’t know if it is possible to live so positively and positively in a positive way. I wondered what kind of people were learning and practicing this kind of teaching, and I felt like I should see them.
In Ajin, however, there were mostly elderly, friendly-looking old men and women in the hall. Moreover, everyone was cheerful and cheerful and had a friendly atmosphere, which was very different from the kind of people I had been holding on to. On a hunch, I thought that this meeting might be a homemade one…
In the 20 years since then, I’ve never been an honors student, but the unification of mind and body seems to fit my personality, and I’ve come to the present at my own pace.
Therefore, this morning as well, as soon as I woke up, I performed the Yodou Dharma in my bed, and while doing an acupressure, I silently recited the revival chant and the words of the vows, and after that, for a while, I performed Steady Dazhi (Heavenly Wind style Zazen), and then, after washing my face and making definite allusions, I went out to the garden with a refreshed feeling, and did pranayama breathing, breathing exercises, unified exercises, and vigorous exercises. Afterwards, I finished breakfast, was seen off by my dog Krotaro, and went out of the front door to the station in 17 minutes, walking fast and doing a mix of breathing and kumbahaka. When I get on the train, I either study stuffed go (although I’m not getting any stronger…) or recite Tenpou-sensei’s recitations. When I join the company, I am not very conscious of the Uniform Law because it is work-oriented, but I always try to be positive in my mind. When I go home, I have stable daishi in the bath, stable daishi in the bed before bedtime, command suggestion, bedtime….
The thing that I keep in mind every day is today, I am not angry, I am not afraid, I am not sad, I am honest, kind, and pleasant, and I am conscious of the words of the vow, and when I face a thing, I do not do anything without care, and I am mindful of significant attention.
However, according to my wife, who is watching my life from the side, she says that I am a pain in the ass, my husband is in good spirits, and it is good that he is not home. However, I’m sure that I’m living more comfortably after joining the Tenpukai than I was before.
If you are interested in the Tenpukai or the mind-body unification method, please contact us. Maybe it will change your life….
This morning, our three plum blossoms bloomed. The season is definitely moving towards spring…the cold weather is also fun.
This is the way we think and think of Tenpukai. It seems that Mr. Tenpou especially valued finding and savoring the emotion in his daily life.
