以前にも天風会の事は書かして貰ったと思いますが、私は毎日曜日、京阪「香里園」駅のすぐ近くに所在する藤田医院の２階に在る、
香里天風会道場に通っている。入会して１４年程になり、今では指導者的立場になっている。昨日は、天風会の最大行事である「夏期特別研修会」
に向けての実行委員会が開かれた。３年前からこの実行委員会の委員長を務めており、何かと気苦労もあるが、それを自らに課された修行と心得、
楽しく積極的にやっている。昨日は、補導、班長を中心に特別研修会での役割分担を決め、当日に向けての士気高揚に努めた。

香里の夏期特別研修会は毎年夏の盛り、７月の最終週の金、土、日で開催する事を原則としており、今年は７月２２日?２４日までの金、
土、日の３日間である。毎朝８時から夕方５時まで、天風先生が説かれた「心身統一法」の基本的な事を学び、修練する。
男性は短パンひとつで体操なども素足で行う（藤田医院の中庭で行うため外目につかない。
素足に上半身裸で行修出来るのは全国でも香里だけではないか・・・。）、初めての方にとっては少し異様な雰囲気で、ヒクかも知れないが、
実は理屈にかなったやり方なのである。初心者の人にとってはかなりハードかも知れませんが、３日間やり通せば必ず何かをつかむはずです。
特に精神的に疲れている方にとっては大きな力になると思います・・・。

興味がある方は何らかの形でアタックしてみませんか。連絡先は私の会社、企業サービス、松谷（０６?６３１３?０１１０）か、
香里天風会事務局　川崎（０７２?８３２?４５８５）までご連絡下さい。研修会の内容など詳細は次の機会にまた書きます。

As I’m sure you’ve written about the Tenpukai before, I’m a member of the Tenpukai, which is located every Sunday on the second floor of Fujita Clinic, right near the Keihan “Karien” station.
He attends the Kari Tenpukai Dojo. I’ve been a member for about 14 years and now I’m in a leadership position. Yesterday, we held a special summer training session, which is the biggest event of the Tenpukai.
I’ve been the chairman of this committee for three years now, and I’ve had a lot of hard work to do, but it’s something I’ve had to learn and understand, and it’s something I’ve had to do.
I’m having fun and being proactive. Yesterday, we decided on the roles to be assigned to the special training session, mainly for the guidance and group leaders, and worked to raise morale for the day.

As a general rule, the summer special workshop in Karri is held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the last week of July in the height of summer every year, and this year it is held on Friday and Saturday from July 22 to 24.
It is a three-day event, Saturday and Sunday. Every morning from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., we learn and practice the basic “mind-body unification method” preached by Master Tenpou.
The men wear only shorts and do gymnastics with bare feet (they do it in the courtyard of Fujita Clinic, so it is not visible to the outside world.
(Isn’t Kari the only one in Japan who can go barefoot and shirtless? The atmosphere may be a little strange for the first time visitors, and it may be a hiccup, but
In fact, it’s a logical approach. It may be quite hard for a beginner, but if you do it for three days, you will definitely get something out of it.
I think it will be a great help especially for those who are mentally exhausted….

If you’re interested, why don’t you attack it in some way? You can contact my company, Corporate Services, Matsutani at 06:6313:01110 or
For more information, please contact Kawasaki at 072-832-4585, the Kagawa Tenpukai office. I’ll write about the details of the training session in the next time.

今週日月と１泊２日のゴルフを楽しんだ。「三十八会ゴルフコンペ」と称し、
中学の同級生で４２歳の厄年から始まった楽しい集まりである。年に２回春秋と開催しており、今回が３４回。
４０代の時はかなり集まりが良かったが徐々に体調不良などで欠席者が増え、最近は２組がやっとという寂しさである。
私は幸せまことに１度も休む事無く出席しており、健康と環境に深く感謝しているところである。

ゴルフは勿論であるが中学時代の全く気のおけない仲間であり、夜の宴会がより以上に楽しい。所が、よる年波には勝てぬと云うか、
ついつい話題が健康とか定年後の余生の過ごし方などになる。先般も２人の悪ガキが頭をつき合わせて話し込んでいる。
何やら可也深刻そうな感じ、その内にお互い胸ポケットから薬物を出し比較検討をはじめたではないか・・。
それを横目でながめていた東京在住のマドンナが一言、「ん・・、もう止めてよ。歳なんだから・・」、シュンとなる２人を見て一同大笑い。
ところが、その後２人は老後の年金問題で大激論。一人は厚生労働省の職員、今ひとりは大手企業の元労働組合委員長、
私などの知識とはレベルが違う・・。興味半分で耳をそばだてていると、かの元組合委員長が面白い事を云いだした。

「最近２０代、３０代の若者は年金に可也不満を持っているようだ。今の６０代、７０代の人は非常に年金では恵まれている。
自分らは負担ばかり大きく、受給は覚束ないと・・。」、

実は私もそう思っていた。ところが、彼曰く、「今の６０代、７０代の人は、学校を出て就職するや給料の半分は親元に送金をして、
自分は一杯いぱいの生活で遣り繰りしたものだ。当時は今のように年金などは充実してなく、親の面倒は子が見るものと決まっており、
何の疑問も思わず親元に仕送りをしていたではないか。今の若者は就職しても未だ親の脛を齧っている。
年金制度の充実で今の親は子供に仕送りを強制する事は無いのだから、年金ぐらい確り負担しろ・・」というのである。目からうろこ、
なるほど一理ある。それにしてもこの組合委員長、会社との団交でどんな話をしていたのだろう・・・。もしかしたら分かりが良すぎたかも。

翌日のゴルフは真夏を思わせる晴天の中、スコアーはともかく、和気藹々と楽しいものであった事はいうまでもない。

I enjoyed one night and two days of golf this week, Sunday and Monday. It is called “The 38th Annual Golf Competition”.
It’s a fun gathering that started when I was a junior high school classmate and was 42 years old. The event has been held twice a year, in spring and autumn, and this year was the 34th.
When I was in my 40’s, it was a good gathering, but the number of absentees gradually increased due to poor health and other reasons, and nowadays there are only two groups.
I have been fortunate enough to attend without a break and am deeply grateful for my health and environment.

Golf, of course, but we were completely uncomfortable friends in junior high school, and the evening banquet was even more fun. But it’s hard to beat the new year, or so it seems.
The topic of conversation becomes health and how to spend the rest of your life after retirement. The other day, two bad boys were talking head to head.
It seems to be quite serious, and before long, both of them may have taken drugs out of their breast pockets and started comparing them…
Madonna, who lives in Tokyo, who was looking at it from the side, said, “Hmmm…stop it. We all laughed when we saw them shouting at each other, “You’re old…
Afterwards, however, they had a heated argument over the issue of pensions. One is an employee of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, and the other is a former labor union president of a major corporation.
It’s a different level of knowledge than mine… As I listened with interest, the former union chairman said something interesting to me.

These days, young people in their 20s and 30s seem to be quite dissatisfied with their pensions. People now in their 60s and 70s are very well off on their pensions.
They say we’re too much of a burden, and we’re not going to get any money… and

Actually, I thought so too. However, he said, “Nowadays, people in their 60s and 70s, after finishing school and getting a job, send half of their salaries to their parents, and then they don’t have any money.
I used to live to the brim. In those days, pensions were not as good as they are now, and parents were expected to take care of their children.
He would have sent money to his parents without any question. Today’s young people are still gnawing at their parents’ shins even after getting a job.
Because of the enhancement of the pension system, parents are not forced to send their children money, so they should at least bear the pension… The scales from the eyes.
You have a point. By the way, I wonder what the union chairman was talking about at the meeting with the company…. Maybe I’m being too easy to understand.

Needless to say, the next day’s golf was a pleasant and harmonious affair in sunny skies reminiscent of midsummer, regardless of the score.

我が家では１７年程前から水槽で金魚を飼っている。特に金魚が好きという事ではないが義父が金魚やめだかの飼育が好きで、
それを分けてもらった事が切っ掛けである。以来今の金魚で３代目。２匹居て共に６年程になる。
今までは春先になっても産卵の気さえなかったが、今年は１０日程前に水槽の淵に卵らしいものを発見。慌てて水草を入れ産卵準備をすると、
すぐに応えてくれた。水草を別の容器に入れ静かに孵化を待つこと１０日、無精卵かとあきらめかけていた矢先の昨日、
なんと糸くずのような極小の稚魚がかすかに動いているではないか。妻子と共に大騒ぎとなった・・。さて後どうしたものか。
早速妻が親戚の大和郡山（金魚の里）へ電話をし飼育方を伝授してもらう事に、「最初は牛乳一滴、その内にゆで卵の黄身をひとかけら」
との事であるが・・・どうなることやら。どなたか金魚の子育てに詳しい方がおられましたらお教え下さいませ。伏してお願い申し上げます。

We’ve been keeping goldfish in an aquarium for about 17 years now. I don’t particularly like goldfish, but my father-in-law likes to raise goldfish and killifish.
I was given the opportunity to share it with him. There have been two goldfish for about six years now.
Even if it became the beginning of spring until now, there was not even the care of the egg laying, but this year, I discovered what seems to be an egg in the edge of the tank 10 days ago. I hurriedly put in water plants and got ready to spawn.
He responded immediately. I put a water plant in another container and quietly wait for hatching on the tenth day, the arrow ahead yesterday that I was about to give up with a sterile egg.
What a faint movement of tiny lint-like fry. It was a big deal with his wife and son… Now what to do with it.
My wife called my relatives at Yamato Koriyama (Goldfish Village) and asked them to teach me how to raise them, “First, a drop of milk, then a drop of boiled egg yolk.
I don’t know what will become of it. If anyone knows anything about raising goldfish, please let me know. Thank you for your patience.

昨日は、私が所属する「香里天風会」の春の１日行修会が行われた。時間は朝９時?夕方４時迄で、中村天風先生の説かれた天風哲学と心身統一道を学び行修する会である。昨日の講師の先生は神戸の山田務名（チカアキ）先生。なんと先生は御歳満９０歳、大正１３年、９歳の時に天風会に入られ、以来天風道一途に８０年という先生である。９０歳の高齢で午前２時間、午後２時間、立ったままで講義をなさる。内容の充実は勿論の事ながら、ただただ講義するその姿そのものが何よりの教えになっている。「天風哲学」「心身統一道」の素晴らしさを改めて思い知らされた一日であった。

香里天風会は今年設立３４年、京阪香里園駅直近の旧藤田医院内にあり、医院の２階が道場、中庭が運動場となっており、毎日曜日に日曜行修会と称して、近在の会員が天風道の行修を行っている。私はこの会に入会したのが平成３年で、はや１４年になる。自宅に近いという利便性もあって、入会以来毎日曜殆ど休むことなく参加している。

天風道について一言で語るのは難しいが、今では書店の多くに、中村天風先生に関する書籍がでていますので、機会があれば読んで頂けたらと思います。もしかしたら貴方の人生が変わるかも・・。

今週は東京出張など何かとく多忙な週になりそう・・。積極心で明るく遣りたいと思う。

Yesterday, the one-day spring training session of the “Kori Tenpukai” to which I belong was held. The time is from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. It is a meeting to learn and practice the Tenpou philosophy and the unification of mind and body as preached by Nakamura Tenpou. Yesterday’s teacher was Mr. Mina Yamada (Chikaaki) from Kobe. At the age of 90, he lectured for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon while standing. Not only is the content of the lecture enriched, but the way he simply lectures is the best way to teach. It was a day when I was reminded of the greatness of the “Heavenly Wind Philosophy” and “The Way of Unification of Mind and Body”.

The second floor of the clinic is used as a dojo and the courtyard as a playground, and on Sundays, members from the area perform the Tenpukai. It has been 14 years since I joined this association in 1991. I’ve been attending almost every Sunday since I joined, partly because of the convenience of being close to my home.

It is difficult to talk about Tenpūdō in one word, but many books about Nakamura Tenpūdō can be found in bookstores nowadays, so I hope you will read them if you have a chance. Maybe it will change your life…

It’s going to be a busy week with business trips to Tokyo this week… I want to work with a positive mind and cheerfulness.
