电波Denpa:我们以 “自教” 为剑,以 “慈悲” 为鞘,便已在践行武神馆最根本的道 :成为独一无二的武道之光的携带者。最近,我接受了一些旅行邀约,希望能将自己对日本当下武道训练的浅薄认知分享出去。这是何等重大的使命!亦是我的修业(shugyo)。我定当全力以赴。 解析:
延伸思考:
这种对 “传承” 的谦逊认知,恰是武道得以跨越时空的秘密 —— 它从不依赖某个人的 “教导”,而是如流水般,在每个真诚的求道者心中自然流淌。 ---------------------------------------------------------------- 体术觉醒:在动态修行中触碰武道真意常言及,当身体动起来时,体术自会唤醒那些潜藏的教导与秘密。重中之重,在于以端正之心精进训练。若谈及 “教学”,总需有人将所学整理成体系,设计出让学员最易吸收的流程 —— 但于我而言,一旦陷入这种 “设计思维”,便已落入 “师者” 的窠臼。 毕竟,一切皆取决于修行者的心境。 我亦会尽力传授基础课程,但内心始终抱持 “自我训练” 的心态。口中所言,不过是动作引发的思绪而已。唯有在每个瞬间、每个动作中,人才能邂逅曾被遮蔽的新领悟。将潜意识中的感悟诉诸言语,方为最本真的教导 —— 这些话语自会引发深层共鸣,不仅作用于自身,亦能触动观者、听者与学习者的灵魂。 理智的追问永远无法揭示武道的核心机密,唯有真诚实践者,方能熟稔体术所传授的奇妙世界与生命课题。我见过太多自以为 “通晓” 武道的智者,却在某一日停止了训练;而真正的武道者,始终坚守。这无关智力、技巧或蛮力,只关乎武風一貫(Bufu Ikkan)—— 武道与人生的一体性。 每个瞬间都是全新的瞬间。即便整堂课都与同一伙伴练习相同技法,实则我们从未真正重复过同一招式。人的每一次心跳与呼吸都在改变,身体亦在适应当下。我们的所为,极大程度上受制于能量状态及其对情绪的影响。万物皆流,心身亦随境而变。 解析:
延伸思考:
这种对 “瞬间性” 与 “身体性” 的极致推崇,最终指向武道的终极自由 —— 不是对技术的掌控,而是对每个当下的全然觉知。正如道元禅师在《正法眼藏》中所写:“行住坐卧皆是道,应机接物尽神通。” 武者的修行,正是在这刹那生灭的动态中,照见永恒的真我。 --------------------------------------- 情感、修行与师者之心:论武道中 “身技心一体” 的真义深知情感极大程度上决定着反应与行动,因此我们可在训练 / 学习场景中善用这一点助力学员成长。通过挑战身体极限,实则是在挑战学员的心理与情绪 —— 道馆内的修行,本就是以 “苦行” 为径,催发心灵的成长。这要求学员培育坚韧的精神心智:若不专注于内在修持,纵有高超技艺,若失衡发展(心技体一(shin gi tai ichi)),终会在关键时刻溃败。 基于此,我将道馆命名为 “修业心技体一道场”(Shugyo Shin Gi Tai Ichi Dojo)—— 寓意 “以修行统合精神、技术与身体”。 当我们自称 “非师者” 时,实则已在履行师者之责。关键在于心态:学员会视你为导师,期待你展现相应的礼仪、专业素养,及堪为表率的武道水准 —— 对此,我们须时刻谨记。 在这一层面上,师者必须领悟 “教学”(kyojutsu)的本质:此领悟非智力层面的巧思,而是通过与真正的大师共修,以端正之心刻苦训练所获得的体证。“教学” 无关智识的机巧,唯系于 “真心”(magokoro)。当我们以心、脑、魂全然吸收教导时,自会在生活中自然践行 “教学” 之真意,无需刻意思索 —— 你的学识,会显现在一举一动、一言一行,乃至日常行止之间。 解析:
延伸思考:
这种以 “真心” 为根基、以 “体证” 为路径的教学观,最终指向的不仅是技艺的传承,更是一种生命状态的传递 —— 当师者成为 “心技体一” 的活容器,学员自会在耳濡目染中,触碰到武道那超越技术、直指心性的光芒。 正如宫本武藏在《五轮书》中所写:“所谓师者,非授人以剑,乃授人以握剑之心。” --------------------------------------------------------------- discernment:以武道之眼透视真相如宗家所言,培养 “discernment(辨别力)” 至关重要 —— 即看清事物的真伪,明辨何为对错、何为利弊。我们必须以武道之心与眼,洞见本质。 环顾全球(包括我自己在内),许多人都在为研习会等活动宣传。我想说,我们不仅要观察 “授课者”,更要审视 “邀请他们的人”—— 这方能让我们看清其本质。望诸君深思。 世人常试图为自己打造独特定位,或标榜某种专长。为何有人觉得需要改变传承的方式?宗家早已为我们指明了道路,我们只需单纯、纯粹地追随即可。 亦有人企图渗入规模较小或影响力较弱的道馆,试图成为 “领袖”。此类现象屡见不鲜,显然,这些人渴望成为 “特殊存在” 或 “第一”。 我的研习会常以年度主题作为宣传语,这并无不妥。但抵达后,我会在开场时坦诚分享对 “才能気”(Sainou Kon Ki)与 “六根清浄”(Rokkon Shoujou)等概念的真实理解 —— 人们往往面露失望。然而,坦白自身所知(或所不知),实则是净化场域、重新出发。如此一来,反而能抛开主题的重负,让训练自然推进,更清晰地传递核心概念。 正如宗家所言:“六根清浄更关乎生活与微笑的能力 —— 而这,恰好是忘却武道的自然结果。” 此处恰见 “教学”(Kyojutsu)的自然之道:若想理解这些主题,我们实则需要忘却它们。强行赋予其意义,反失自然。是以,那些试图刻意教授 “往年主题” 的行为,实则违背了自然法则与武道的本质。 看透这一点,我们便可会心一笑,从更高维度体验 “六根清浄”—— 而这,正是理解武道与整个人生的关键。 解析:
延伸思考:
这种以 “辨别力” 为剑、以 “自然心” 为鞘的修行观,最终指向的是一种清醒而轻盈的存在状态 —— 如宗家所言:“真正的武道,是让你在风暴中站稳脚跟,却仍能为路边的一朵花微笑。” 辨别真伪的终极意义,或许不在于批判他人,而在于守护自己心中那片未被功利污染的修行净土。 ------------------------------------------------------- 在道馆中淬炼真我:以体证通达武道本质在道馆里,我们当以 “净化自身” 为修行旨归。透过训练,我们力求进入 “活在当下” 的状态 —— 超越时间的桎梏,在每个瞬间中自由地感知与存在。唯有在此种状态下,我们才能真正吸收并领悟宗家的教导。然而,一切的前提是切实的训练! merely 伫立空谈毫无意义:若不动其身,内在的真意便无法渗透、显化于外。 若能 “止语修行”,我们或许才能保持灵犀的畅通,接收到宗家所喻的 “电波”(Denpa)—— 那超越语言的武道真髓。 武風一貫(Bufu Ikkan)—— 武道即生活,生活即修行! 解析:
延伸思考:
结语:武道的终极秘密,藏在每一次挥剑的轨迹里,每一声呼吸的节奏中。当我们放下 “理解” 的傲慢,以身体为舟,划入 “当下” 的洪流,自会在某一个瞬间,听见宗家 “电波” 的回响 —— 那是超越时空的共鸣,亦是 “武風一貫” 的终极答案。 -------------------------------------------------- 宗家传承与武神馆武者的修行之路:以共享之姿照见自我此信致敬宗家及其对武神馆传统的传承,亦提醒我们何以成为武神馆道场的武道修行者。 我心下以为,此番远行之意义,在于通过分享与宗家及日本师范的修业经历,助益众人与我自身的精进(Shugyo)。 武道之要,不在 “教导”,而在 “自教”。这是我希望出席 “武神殿聚会(Bushinden Kai)” 者首要领悟之事:我们皆在各自的修业之路上独行。须以武神馆武者的仁心与慈悲为基,担起自我修行的全责。 解析:
延伸思考:
Recently, I have accepted invitations to travel and pass on what little knowledge I have of current training in Japan. What a task! It’s an important one. It’s my shugyo. And, I’ll do my best. Do you regard yourself as a teacher? I don’t. Kyojutsu is something that is naturally around us all the time. People all have differing thoughts,opinions, motivations, philosophy, and on and on. As a result, people can end up manipulating themselves, through their own perceptions. We all would like to believe that “our way” is the right way. Even if we believe that “our way” is based on the teachings of “our teachers”, we have actually absorbed the teachings according to our own desires and capacity. We have already made the teachings our own. This interpretation based on our own intellect may, on the surface be similar, but in actuality, be very different. We have to really look deeply into the concept of being a “teacher” of the martial arts. The reason we open a dojo, is so we can continue to study. We can study at our own pace what we have learned from our teachers. When we are teaching, we are actually voicing our thoughts,that is all we are doing. I don’t consider this teaching, but transmitting subconscious learning in words and action. The transmission of budo can be likened to Denpa ( radio waves ) of which Soke talks about in his book Unarmed Fighting Techniques of the Samurai – Chapter 6 page 114-115. Often I will be moving and the taijutsu will awaken the teachings and the secrets. The most important thing is to train well and sincerely. To teach, requires a person to formalise or consider a routine in which the information one has can be best presented and absorded by the students. For me, if you are thinking like this, then you are already thinking like a “teacher”. However, it all depends on the heart and mind of the practitioner. I also run classes based on passing on the fundamentals to the best of my ability. However, the mind set I hold is that I am training myself. The words that I say are but my thoughts that have arisen from my action. It is in every moment and in every action, that you can experience new learning that was once hidden to you. Voicing the words from your subconscious are words of truth. this is the most important teaching. These words are the ones that will resonate deeply. Not only in yourself, but those who watch,listen and absorb your lessons. No question from the minds intellect will truly offer you the secrets of budo. Only those who sincerely practise will become familiar with the wonderful world and life lessons that taijutsu teaches. I believe many intellects “believe they know” this budo we all study. But, the fact is, they will stop training, and the real budoka will remain. It’s not about intellect,skill, or being strong. It’s about Bufu Ikkan. Every moment is a new moment. Even if we do the same technqiue with the same training partner for the whole class. In reality, it is obvious that we can never do the same technqiue twice. People change with every heart beat and breath. Our body accustoms itself to the moment. What we do is greatly dictated on our energy levels and it’s affect on our emotions. Every moment is changing. And with this change, our body and mind also changes. Knowing that emotions greatly decide responce or action, we can learn to use this in a training/learning scenario to help students grow. By challenging the body, we challenge the psychology and emotions of the student. The practise within the dojo is meant to encourage growth through the experience of hardship. This requires the student to develop a strong spirit/heart and mind. With out concentrating on the internal aspects, no matter how skilled you become, you will fail if you have not developed in a balanced way ( shin gi tai ichi ). I hold great importance on this, and thus have called my dojo the Shugyo Shin Gi Tai Ichi Dojo – ” Training to unify the Spirit,Technique and Body.” In saying that “we are not teachers”, we actually are. However, the mind set is what is important. The students will consider you a teacher. They are expecting a certain decorum, professionalism, and hopefully, a decent level of ability in the martial arts.We must remember this. In this regard, the teacher must understand kyojutsu. But,this understanding is not an intellectual understanding. It is an understanding from training correctly and sincerely with true masters. Kyojutsu is not about being intellectually cunning. It is about magokoro. Through absorbing directly the teachings in heart,mind and soul, we will begin to live and understand kyojutsu naturally. There is no need to think about it. Your knowledge will be seen in how you move,act, and just go about your normal,everyday living. It is important to ( as Soke says ) develop the art of discernment. That is, to see the truth and falsity of things, and to know what is right and wrong, and good or bad for us. We must develop the heart and eyes of budo to see through to the truth. We can see ( including myself ) that many people around the world are advertsing for seminars, etc. I must say, we should look at these people, but more importantly, the people who are hosting these teachers. This will give us an understanding of the type of people they are. Please consider this well. Many people are trying to create niches for themselves or pass themselves of as having particular specialities. Why do people feel the need to change the manner in which the teachings are spread? The path has been set before us by Soke. All we need to do is follow it. Plainly and simply. Some people also attempt to infiltrate smaller dojos or less influenced dojos and try to become the “leader” of them. We can see this often. These people obviously have a desire to be “special” or be ” number one“. Often the theme for the year is used as a catch phrase to my seminars. This is fine, but when I arrive, I begin the class by letting everyone know my true feelings on concepts like ” sainou kon ki” and “rokkon shoujou“. People often look dissapointed. However, by telling the truth about your knowledge ( or lack of ) you actually clean the air and make a fresh start. Often, as a result, you better get across the concept from “naturally” moving forward with the training, paying no attention to the weight of the theme. As Soke has said – ” Rokkon shoujou is more to do with living and being able to smile which, incidentally, is a natural consequence of forgetting about budo.” We can see kyojutsu working naturally here. To understand the themes, we actually have to forget them. To try to give meaning to them, is actually not natural. So, those that are trying to teach the themes of the past year or so, are actually going against nature and the very concept of Budo. By seeing this, we can laugh and experience Rokkon Shoujou from a distance; of which is an integral aspect of understanding the martial arts and life as a whole. In the dojo, we should be looking at the experience to ” purify ourselves”. Through the training, we are aiming to enter states of being, where we can experience moment to moment,and live freely beyond the restrictions of time. It is in these moments, we can come to truly absorb and appreciate the teachings of Soke. We must however, train! It’s no good just to stand there and lecture. If we do not move our body, the true lessons from within will not permeate and be drawn to the surface. If we “shut up and train”, we may actually keep the channels open to recieve the radio waves ( denpa ) from Soke. Bufu Ikkan ! “Gathering to respect the teachings of the Warrior Gods” This is in respect of Soke and his transmission of the Bujinkan Traditions, and to remind us of how we came to gain this life aa bugeisha of the Bujinkan Dojo My sincere view is that I’m travelling to help everyone and myself continue with our own shugyo by sharing our experiences with Soke and the Shihan of Japan. Budo is not about instruction. It is about learning to teach yourself. This is the first thing I want people who attend the Bushinden Kai to understand. We are all on our own Shugyo. We must take responsibility for ourselves, while developing the heart and compassion of the Bujinkan Bugeisha. |
