Please tell me an interesting story

Everyone loves it ⁉ ︎
This is the story of Ikkyu-san, who is famous for tonchi.

There was a small pond in the garden of Ikkyu-san's hermitage, and there was a pine tree swirling around the pond.

At one point, Ikkyu-san became his disciples
I was asked, “Is there anyone who can look straight at that pine tree?”

Each of the disciples
How do you look at it from where can you see it straight?
Move and crouch, and close one eye.
I tried a lot of things, but nothing seemed straight.

Then it seems like one apprentice is blurry
“But no matter where or how you look at this pine tree, it's growing.”
I said that.

Then Ikkyu-san
“That's right!”
“I'm looking at what's going on. Looking at it is a straightforward way of looking at things.”

That's what you said.

It's a story called,
I love this story.

Unbeknownst to us, I think our eyes are genuinely blurred as we become adults.
Where can I see it straight from when I compare it with experience and knowledge?
You'll only be able to see things with that kind of eye.

There are various forms of Buddhism,
I look at things just the way they are.
That is common.

I think this story teaches the basics of Buddhism in an easy-to-understand manner.

Once upon a time, when Mr. Osho, the head chef of a Zen temple, was making soup, a fluffy Kannon appeared on top of a large pot. Then the head chef, Mr. Osho, punched Kannon off and said: “Idiot... I'll punch you even if it's Shaka Ji...”

Chef Osho's training is cooking with all his heart. It is an ascetic dojo where each item of food and every cooking utensil were given by the Buddha. And now, Buddha appears to himself who carefully cooks the food in front of him.

However, I think the head chef Osho at this time felt like there was enlightenment and happiness somewhere far away from him. I'm sure it was against himself that Chef Osho blackmailed him. Don't run away from this moment's training! and.

　I like the story “The Story of Jizo Taneda” in the book “Conjugation Record.”

“Jizo” is not the name of Jizo Bosatsu, but the name of a Chinese monk.

Joshu, a traveling monk, came to Jizo Osho's place from the south. Jizo Osho asked Joshu Osho, “How is Southern Buddhism?” Osho Joshu answered, “Questions and answers flourish in the south.” “How about there?”
Jizo Osho answered, “At home, we cultivate rice to make rice, cook it into rice, and eat it as nigiri (in our daily lives).”
In response to that, when Joshu Osho asked, “Then what will happen with the essential Buddhism,” Jizo Osho said, “What did you think of Buddhism until now.”

People with literary talent live their lives by writing, and those who can speak up live by using dialects. However, monasteries (temples) are not eager to stop their worries. Nor is it that they are actively trying to obtain pleasure from the law. I just have a daily life where I eat food and poop.
It's not about doing it with your head or doing it with your mouth. The story is that the practice of daily life is the only way to practice Buddhism.

Nikken Shi's “The Story of a Cowherd”

I also recommend it.

The denominations are different, but I like the story of Dogen Zenji from the Soto sect.

There are many things, but I said this when I went back to Japan after training in Song (China).
“They do karate and go back to their hometown, so there's no one-size-fits-all Buddhism.”
All the monks who practiced ascetic practices in other China brought back many sutras, but Dogen Zenji came home empty-handed.

That's because I came home with a sense of consciousness.

I realized that there is truth in the fact that I'm living in this place now, that my eyes are side by side, that I take things for granted and accept them as they are, and I came back home.

I think this is exactly what I learned.
