Explicit Scene Movies 2010

Countless are the times when we felt the rigor conflicts that revolve around individuals with insulting accusations intended to be allowed to receive "the teachings served in a dish according to your tastes, with a total unconditional, for a price as a meal in a restaurant." Its foundations erroneous and lacking a sound and logical reasoning, show their total ignorance of what really teach in a dojo where you supposed to learn and train the ancient and traditional martial arts "Ko Ryu Bujutsu."
Even more regrettable is the fact that students who are accepted as members of our dojo, spent some time holding practices leave unfavorable criteria discover their weak spirits of self-indulgence and weakness of character. His angry nuanced theories of theatrical performance plunge into whiny melodramatic exclamations such as: "Are modern times in which we do not have to cling to outdated codes of conduct of medieval Japan, besides that stupid teacher is very tough and demanding, we need some freedoms. "
But we know very well which "freedoms" they refer, and we also know that if that same group of people are meeting at a gym and are taught only the technical part of art, which logically originated from the same, as in medieval Japan, they would not express the slightest protest. If a similar way as to affect or instruct them to harm others, or as dramatically walked away from a possible attack, executed by a criminal carrying a sharp weapon, or if they themselves finally join us to make technical executions "never seen" surrounded by a large audience applauded and cheered as the same arena of the Roman circus, we would be sure that none of these students would reject the offer but on the contrary they feel comfortable and up to admire the great effectiveness that have the strategy and our style technique. In this way we would be lifted and not even they would contradict the students, not us, who instruct and teach.
This is a good catalyst for any instructor spirits as we want to teach Bujutsu Ryu Ko.
Advocates "freedoms" and criticize us, just get even convince more of their latent fears, because these codes of conduct that they criticize and reject, are exactly the same as the wisest teach principles that limit their desire to kill stupid , to appear arrogant to others to obtain personal benefits that enhance its uncontrollable egotism and refute their filthy cynicism and sarcasm to the noble traditions, culture, ethics and discipline of Bujutsu.
far we have wanted to make a preamble to make the first step on the long road that leads to knowing what the real cause of teaching Ko Bujutsu Ryu these days here in our "Bushin Dōjō."
start explaining again that the instruction and practice of true Bujutsu, requires extreme discipline and flawless body and mind, very difficult, so yes, to accept in these times we live. A selected number of students may be one that truly abides by the right path and be able to accept and comply with strict codes ethical and moral behavior that their styles demand, we teach what we are taught, and what they have taught for many centuries an unblemished spirit masters, whose names are contained in a legendary and historical style family genealogy. We have no right, nor intend, to change, or adapt anything to the personal comfort of each student. Thus in the Dojo in relative anonymity, wearing our Keikogi (standard practice) every day teach, learn and form the spirit (Seichin Tanren), which we know our weaknesses and our strengths. Without pursuing, rank, ribbons, but holding firmly rooted in the heart the yearning that someday we really appreciate as teachers, not what you know but by what we broadcast, without any fear, teach others this legacy is our first case, there are many reasons for this. We would be traitors to our Ryu accomplished if we let at least not a prolific seed, better than what we planted in our respected teachers. This is undoubtedly a continuous and never-ending struggle for us all, since learner Ko Bujutsu Ryu must ask yourself every day, whether it is worthy to receive the instruction of art practice, since it is a very great privilege to be instructed in a art that is not ours by inheritance. Each member must earn to be worthy of each principle and each technique, for it should never take lightly the teachings of his master, or judge, and even criticize it, creating negative splits in every heart of those who comprise the membership of the dojo.
traditional Bujutsu The student must make a decision for life to arrive at the dojo, and made through it. He must learn and engage in Ryu with the same intensity with which delivery devoutly to his other vocations. For example, if he were an artist surely would all spiritual energies at the precise moment which has slid his brush on the canvas to get the picture desired in this way with the same subtlety he must make every effort to learn on the mat, with a similar attitude must learn to handle the sword in the dojo and even better, outside it, brush bar and then define a single artist.
in a dojo where we teach traditional Bujutsu, classified students are not allowed among us as "Niwatari Komon No" because they are unfit to show their breasts (on the lapel of their uniforms) our precious "Mon" (family crest style ) because their purposes and personal priorities to arrive at the dojo are totally opposed to the noble virtues we teach, because our best advice is: When you enter a dojo, stay out and to reaffirm that cite Ichikawa Soke's words: "Better a diamond shattered a stone untouched." Thus there is no purpose to keep the Dōjō individuals who do not have the best attitudes, which we can not even trust his words. Of course it always appears in their excuses for disloyalty and dishonor.
New generations of students of traditional martial arts should reflect and not be absorbed by the folly, to relinquish his duties and debts of gratitude as budokas Ko Bujutsu Ryu as we learn and teach today in its purest expression is a endless way to humiliate the spirit, rebellious and vain that we have generated in us at every step in the transit of our human existence, through their practice honestly have the option to train and submit no claim of supreme pride and sincere love that emanates the center of our hearts crying out with powerful echoes the true essence of the parcel of man on earth and hard and difficult work hard against any ordeal in his short life, that is in harmony with the entire universe provide comfort to others and give you the peace that he hopes such faith. It is also, like many other ways is a worthy way in which a man without being religious, you can find in this world the true face of God.
teach well and we hope that this is understood as Bujutsu is contrary to negative feelings such as pride, hatred, vice, vulgarity, rudeness, etc. pursue the values \u200b\u200bobtained with "Shugyo Shin" are, first, keep intact the rich history of the most precious and subtle human virtues, which in our view, and many more people remain current today, but quite the opposite, are more necessary than ever in a world as we have been taught that religion is practiced more cynicism and humanity with their large donation of injustice and indifference, as the water tends to run to the lowest places.
to a dojo where we intend no other real reason to transmit the teachings of Bujutsu, students should aim to find the ultimate aim of transferring the Tori, a place where they can find the formula to live loving and helping each one other. As taught in "Nisshinkan" Aizu clan "MizuIrazu" They (students) should never compare the dojo with a "gym" and that there are enormous differences between them, this misunderstanding is a major cause of rejection that they tend to have to the traditional teachings.
In a gym, do not exist not teach or require ethical behavior, not breathe a true harmony, this is just a room where you can be (through the practice of forms of combat) uneducated individuals, murderers, egocentric, narcissistic and devoid of the most basic concepts of discipline and ethics.
in a dojo teach and practice codes and rules that every student not only to memorize, but internalize the depths of his spirit, to be applied in every moment of your life. As an ambassador of our style, examples of these rules of conduct are established by Kyu Ho (arc method) of the family of the Minamoto clan (after the Aizu clan) cited in some of its headings:
"A pupil who has a true spirit after his blade clean in the eyes of his teacher and twice at home."
"Voice makes no prying ears measured in enemies."
"When the fish starts to rot your bad smell in our nostrils as advertised, when the nature of a man begins to deteriorate his foul language as noted in our ear."
"The samurai who seeks break from their duties in Sake and dance, is loyal to sake and dance. Not the clan. If a samurai finds no solace in his duties, has lost his way. " etc. We could continue quoting
many other more, but more enough, so with this offer, reflection, analysis and comparison of those people who criticize us because we teach traditional Bujutsu. Bujutsu is to look with subtle heat the spirit of man, not attack, or kill, as it tries to show. Tanomo Saigo, Aizu clan priest expressed it clearly showing what the correct way to learn, he wrote: "Cultivate your spirit and the sword will follow, neglect your spirit and the sword will become false and shameful."
"When searching for a man to teach the art of war, but love those who choose peace."
remains now, honestly, define who errs, if the virtues and principles Ko Ryu Bujutsu broadcasting or great ignorance and unreasonable fear of those who criticize our art, new seeds have the responsibility of students sitting astride on their shoulders to define it, depends on them bury these values \u200b\u200bthat humanity needs both, or impregnate the future of moral impoverishment, a practitioner must know how to climb Bujutsu divinely tall and dignified, taking its first firm step in the lower base of the slope. Our statement does not differ at all from this.

Pokemon Fire Red Pokedex Cheat Vba
By: Max Roy Fernández Rodríguez.
Somewhat trying to imitate and practice the enormous and unwavering patience that held our teachers to instruct and to which we must learn what we learned and to try as they did and do, transmit his teachings today, but no less alert and reflective combining compassion with dislike, at times we listened to the students that start and even those who have long been in the Dojo, to learn the ancient legacy of providing the Ko Bujutsu Ryu, expressed without conscious and deep analysis, their demands, what they regard as a right to be granted. Their topics and views are diverse, but without the slightest knowledge of the three virtues of spiritual development that are "look" , "accept" and "correct" . Some of their "applications" emerge on the foundation of how to set (as their accommodations) and implemented codes of ethics and rules of discipline in the Dojo. This gives us the exact measure that they know fully, as required by the provisions of Bujutsu and Budo, but we also know that fiber emanating from these hasty spiritual "needs" these baseless claims and these childish cries. Sometimes merciful truce offer in the hope that they meditate and self-correction, in order to reach the desired maturity is needed in the life of a Budoka and grow in them a virtual concept of humility. In our experience, unfortunately we have observed that many of these individuals unable to accept these codes of conduct eventually become genuine apostates of Ryu, clearly demonstrating the poverty of their spirits and their cynical sarcasm towards the legitimate tradition of art that are treated teach.
Generally proclamations revolve around training time should they spend, because for them it is sometimes "too much." A modification and adaptation of the label and duties outside the walls of the Dojo, to complicated and hectic "lifestyle", the cliché of social pressures, their very exclusive home-based care which includes the sublime and comprehensive "devotion" by the wife and children, which apparently shows that they are the only parents in the world, among other justifications arising as a storm hits the good behavior of other students in the membership of a Dojo. There is a controversial subject, which does not want to talk, but given their Foundation training very subtle touch it carefully, it is the reminder of the payment of duties or the contribution students make to the maintenance, ornament, shopping and various activities that must be met in a traditional Dojo, and why not for supply also obvious economic needs of the teacher. It is appropriate to point out and remind these students that this topic of "money" or "payment" is not a matter to be discussed in the Dojo and much less to a teacher or instructor, then as required by this tradition of true Budo is in very poor taste and unacceptable for a teacher, as this may hurt his honor and be to see an offense directed towards Ryu. A teacher does not teach his art and delivers years of effort and dedication, to enrich themselves, but also compared the number of students that selected as his future disciples, it becomes illogical and unrealistic, because the real Bujutsu (Budo) never considered the "money" just over and offered lessons for a teacher Budoka this will never be the main element and that its legacy and instructions are for a matter of duty, not something for personal gain. This is a clarification for those individuals who in addition to his felony believe they can receive instruction as if this were the mandatory teacher because they "pay" a monthly reluctantly. This is totally absurd. It is the spirit that is offered by the student, who provides the opportunity and privilege of the teacher to show your "Kuden" , no monetary amount that students can donate. Objectively this is a test of a spiritual nature that shows their intention and expresses his true feelings and sincerity towards Ryu and his art, not at anyone in particular. While it is recognized that the teacher must also feed his family, but this will never be a requirement by which the advocates. He never asked anything personal, so the receipt will be placed according to their duty and just accept it if it is delivered, kindness and love from those who truly consider their master, the hearts of those who truly appreciate their efforts and unshakeable their basic needs. This decision is an analysis and a personal concept, dignified and confidential, not something that should be made public because doing so would lose the concepts and sacrifice, and their true value. It would be far more meritorious not give "homework" to do it and then promote demands or claims. This is a case in which students must think hard, because when someone becomes an official member of a Dojo, help Ryu health and welfare of teachers is a strict and inviolable responsibilities that they must fully comply.
The theme of family and home, as we have said is an issue that is misunderstood sometimes and others it becomes a shield to protect negligence. Everyone knows that family is the foundation of marriage and man's existence. There is nothing more important and dignified. The history of our art is closely merged and based on the total universality of the concept. The parent organization of our own style because of the love and goodwill that requires the attention of the family. But these obligations should be encouraged each other. It may seem difficult for some to consciousness sometimes claim that the duty of being a family matters budoka and march together in the context of Bujutsu and Budo, so we can say that one begets the other. Many students confuse this, and give priority to one, ignoring the other, this is "to miss the target" to shoot an arrow as they move to one side to the other and vice versa. We know that many of them are the real culprits, especially when in their homes, their close relatives have never known the values \u200b\u200band virtues of Budo, and this ignorance promotes the tendency to devalue, criticize and contradict the members of the immediate family is dedicated to the teachings or receives from a martial art traditional. But no family member has a right to sue Bujutsu practitioner to decrease in its obligations or obviate his priorities for his Ryu, in order to meet their personal needs and justify minimizing the real value of art to unfeeling despotism. No one who professes the Bujutsu and Budo, he loses his family obligations and duties towards them. In both cases this would have the same meaning: dishonor, treachery and a betrayal of love. The input and solution that could offer both emerge from the deep roots of the true feeling of love and this is based on the pedestal of mutual sacrifice that require two commitments, there is no scale to weigh them, and it should not opt \u200b\u200bfor one of two extremes. The balance and the victory was at the center, not the ends. The result obtained define the effort and the authenticity of identity and character of true budoka, even though he acknowledges that his main priority is your loyalty to Ryu.
Social pressures have always existed in the history of humanity, life as we know it is not always pleasant or we could say that almost never in transit through many obstacles that are constantly trying to prevent our harmony, our happiness, our spiritual development, mixed with the material world, when they are crossed and our integrated development we almost unattainable, then our reactions are, first of fear, then we come to reflect and our lives will take strong action to address our concepts of Bujutsu and Budo, or succumb to the hasty determinations of our impulses, then show two paths before us in our lives. As Hiroshi Kato sensei showed us a comment when he said:
"the life lived in the midst of extreme material deprivation creates two types of spirits: a sublime, that honor and abide by discipline. Another low and malleable that constantly picks the area where there is lots of better profit, regardless of what the state honor. " We must come to a reflective understanding which of the two paths will pass.
Students, which we refer to remember that in Daito Ryu (Ryu Ko Bujutsu) or traditional Budo his first duty is to respect and that they should never impose their views to that of a teacher . If you make a mistake at this point, one must accept the correction of this without excuses and without trying to defend themselves. This is the essence of spiritual training of humility and detachment from the self. Students must internalize the teacher's response is the answer final. That their views do not count. Whether they agree or not, their duties are always to remember that the master has its educational purposes, even if they understand or not. Respect forces him to accept. They only have to inquire discreetly into the depths of the concept if necessary, without complaint, without judging and without ever compromising the obedience and humility (two sides of the same coin). Students only have the right to allow the master to take their own decisions and have confidence in their motives. The teacher can make mistakes, yes and no. Yes, because it is human and we all fail. No, because it is the duty of students to accept and support what the teacher does, is not a prerogative to judge but to accept all consequences of their actions, whether good or bad. This is the noblest and highest expression of esteem and respect in Bujutsu (Budo).
traditional code Bujutsu Ryu Ko states that "a Dojo is not just a place of democracy." It is not a local. Is a pure and open heart that summarizes and covers the entire surroundings of the life of a true budoka and therefore a Bujutsu Dojo Ryu Ko demands absolute obedience to the criteria of non-derogable teacher and acceptance. A Dojo is a comfortable and pleasant home where an individual is clothed with a woolly pajamas and slippers to be fully with their accommodations. A Dojo is like the world like life where the constant tests are imposed, purify, solidify and train our spirit. The Daito Ryu teaches this and do not take his teachings and his practice as a pastime, but as something worth deserving and sincere respect all who do not accept this not to be admitted, as being a member of a dojo is a privilege and This must never be forgotten. That privilege must be earned every day, providing discipline and dedication, or offer, not having and showing full respect to our attitude towards the traditions and to the codes of conduct within and outside the walls of the Dojo. Individuals unable to sustain the inherent virtues Ryu as loyalty, humility, courage, honor, simplicity, compassion and the most important provisions of debt and duty, do not deserve to belong to a noble and rich tradition as is the Daito Ryu Aiki Bujutsu. If the interest of those who are accepted in our dojos to receive the teachings of Bujutsu (Budo) is comparable with respect and this contributes to the honor of art and their teachers, Daito Ryu may be a way that they can consider. If your desires are changing, molding, counter, ask for explanations or abolish the established concepts and rules related to ethical codes and disciplinary traditions. Ryu inherent stipulated in the Dojo, we recommend that interested, in other arts or permanently depart this way, so that others with greater humility and nobility of heart to continue.
friendly We can offer answers to the questions of those who show true dedication and his selfless contribution to provide much more than they receive, all for the welfare of Ryu, but we have no obligation to do so who made countless and constant demands and no action objecting to what for centuries past and present down the precepts of the art we practice. Neither will we accept and teach individuals "with their bowls filled" speculating "know" enough about Bujutsu (Budo) to live without to continue training in the ways " Seinshin Tanren" or "Shugyo" . To these individuals never toast or apex of explanation on the philosophy behind the traditions and symbols of Ryu, because we will never in a position that can show a false image or the perception that Daito Ryu Budo in general should give explanations of itself, nor ask for excuses for its traditions, nor justify them in any way for any individual comfort as well ignore the criticism and repeals. (Those were mistakes without knowing made in the past and we acknowledge it, since we pay dearly for our inability and our immaturity). We do not need anyone's approval or knowledge to serve as "silver trays," paying attention to orders and orders those seeking comfortable receiving the teachings without giving the least sacrifice.
We humbly hope to achieve the lofty status that one day we call budokas, without red or mourn for our sins. Those who continue with their feet on the road and the "circle of fire", we know clearly that this privilege teaches and demands that our lives do not belong to us and our feelings are a second priority for the former is the "Giri" .
why we must teach the rules of discipline, together with the traditions of our Ryu, there are topics of debate, and are not subject to the approval or opinion of anyone. They are insufficiently substantiated. The Daito Ryu Ryu Ko Bujutsu is created for men and women warriors of life "is not suitable for people self-indulgent, complex or underhanded cynical attempt to justify their weaknesses, showing to be arrogantly whips in their individualistic and insolvent criteria .
The weakness is a condition characteristic of human beings from birth, perhaps engendered by the genotypes, or a negligent inadequate training in childhood, but the greatness of a man (Budoka) is grown and identity lies in the constant "battle" to make under that exceed these limitations mostly spiritual. One suffers as is necessary, crying as soon as possible, without ignoring the pain, but continuing on the road. That is the true budoka and character, of whom I speak Hideo Hanmura sensei.
This is the true concept that we want to show students to instruct, with many still to eliminate faults, with many errors, but with much more love and perseverance, and it is our great hope that more of them choose this arduous, difficult and profound way, otherwise you will have no value so much effort, your hard work and talent as tested by many men of extreme wisdom and courage who fought and still fight for our art and our Ryu is still in use today. It remains an arduous task, an effort to "Titanic" for the future of Ryu that if demand courage, modesty, wisdom, selflessness and kindness of heart itself, knowing that often sprout new tears in our eyes, together with the sweat and pain that cause severe and corrections training for teachers, but our victories will be materialized in those who are able to continue strong and patient compliance our duty today and settle debts with those compassionate gave us the privilege and honor to be taught in an art which does not belong to us. "If anyone is fertile ground-and honest-to consolidate these ideas will suit us a lot to share with him or her our modest knowledge and be always at your disposal."
The real way goes on tour with our physical eyes and the question Who will cover? But we do our spiritual eyes to see beyond the human limit, and we understand that this is only open our hearts knows the correct and proper cultivation of our spirit.
This depends largely on you. An old and a new generation of real budokas and find their way in time and should be merged to write a beautiful story without ever mediate water between their lives, as taught in the Nisshinkan.
The Daito Ryu Aiki Bujutsu Ko-Ryu Saigo has not dead, or die, we are sure, rather more force charged today. The food that we depend on and perpetuate a greater measure of love and harmony that we are able to grow and provide for the constitution of his noble and wise tradition. The case in which trust, will be the effect of future generations. We must have faith because "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."

Lawsuit For Rotator Cuff
(Japanese, 'empty hand'), martial arts (unarmed) in self-defense since the equilibrium positions are directed or focused blows or kicks accompanied by special breathing and shouts. More than a method of combat karate emphasizes self-discipline, positive attitude and high moral purpose. It is taught professionally at different levels and with Asian names as a self-defense skill, a competitive sport and as an exercise in freestyle.
2. HISTORY
The Karate was developed in Japan. While the name dates from as recently as 1930, the techniques are very old and derived from Chinese art of Shaolin Boxing from the sixth century. Developed after the Japanese island of Okinawa around 1500, becoming the tang hand, allowing the islanders to fight unarmed against armed Japanese oppressors. In the 1920 hand tang was introduced to Japan by Funakoshi Gichin who used the word karate. The style became known as practiced shotokan, now one of the five major styles of Japan; others are: wado-ryu, Gojo-ryu, Shito-ryu and kyukushinkai. Each puts different emphasis on technique, speed and power.
3. TECHNICAL TRAINING
The karate is similar to judo and jujitsu but reinforces paste techniques lethal blows and punches, rather than fight or knock down an opponent. The three elements of speed, strength and technique are vital for a karate expert, also are important prerequisites constant warning, a keen sense of timing and surprise.
Great attention is given to know the most vulnerable of the human body can be attacked through the hands, elbows, knees or feet, which are the face, neck, solar plexus, the spine, English and kidneys. Competitions or exhibitions ordinary karate can target only the area of \u200b\u200bthe body above the waist and all shots must be subdued. The strokes used are: hand cutting or 'hands knife' knuckle punches, crushing blows, fingers pointed, standing shock front, side, envelopes, jumping and kicking. In the current fight any of these blows can be fatal. The ability of a karate master (sen sei) to break a board or a brick with a blow from his bare hands is proverbial.
karate training toughens hands and feet driven into containers of sand, gravel and pounding rice bags or sandbags and special training boards. Constant exercises are important to relax and tighten the muscles of the body. Deep breathing exercises are also useful because exhalation and sudden shouts accompany direct blows and particularly the ends, also called manslaughter. Such breaths and cries for help in the rhythm of the karate attack, concentrating more power in each blow or block and psychological force giving person while disconcerting the opponent.
4. EDUCATION AND ENFORCEMENT
The language of karate is chiefly Japanese: the training room or gym is called a dojo and clothing used in all practices is called gi. More than two hundred terms specifically Japanese are used for different movements and strokes that are used in movement sequences called kata.
There are varying degrees of formally recognized in karate training, represented by the color of the fabric belt around the gi, the usual colors in ascending order are: white, yellow, orange, green, blue, brown and black. (Other styles also use the following colors: white, lilac or purple, green, brown and black.) Qualifications for belts differ from school to school, depending on the style and level taught. The black belt or dan is the highest level in karate and is also qualified in degrees of expertise, being the tenth that give a higher level.
5. COMPETITION
Gichin Funakoshi in 1949 founded the Japan Karate Association, which held the first championships in Japan in 1957. The sport spread to the West during the 1950's. The organization All-Japan Karate-do (FAJKO), founded in 1964, held the first World Championships in 1970 Multi-Style. The Europeans had reached such high levels that often beat the Japanese, although they maintained their supremacy in the kata. Women first participated in the World championships in 1980. Karate has been incorporated into training programs for police and armed forces of many countries.

(In Japanese, 'conduct of the warrior' ) code of ethics observed by the noble warriors or samurai of feudal Japan. As the rules of the orders of chivalry which prevailed in medieval Europe, Bushido was based on virtues such as honesty, perseverance, thrift, courage, courtesy, truthfulness, and, especially, loyalty to the rulers and the country . Only through the exercise of these virtues was a gentleman to keep his honor, and who had sullied was forced to suicide by harakiri . Powered to its full expression to the late twelfth century, the Bushido became the sixteenth century in a written code. To be abolished feudalism (approximately mid-nineteenth century), this code was abandoned, but their influence persists, particularly in the military.
How To Play Populous The Beginning On Lan
Buddhist School which was developed in China and later in Japan as a result of a merger between the Mahayana form of Buddhism originating in India and the Chinese philosophy of Taoism. Zen and Chan are, respectively, Japanese and Chinese ways of pronouncing the Sanskrit word dhyana, which designates a mental state more or less equivalent to contemplation or meditation, but without the static sense and that these words carry liability at times. Dhyana denotes specifically the state of consciousness of the Buddha, one who is free from the belief that the distinct individuality of oneself and others is real. All schools of Buddhism hold that separate things exist only in relation to others. This relativity of individuals is called emptiness (Sanskrit sunyata), which means that the world is nothing in reality, but nature can not be understood by any definition or classification system fixed. The reality is the self (in Pali, tathata) the nature or the world as it is independent of any specific thought to have about it.
2. DOCTRINES AND PRACTICES
Zen is China's peculiar way of getting the Buddhist goal of seeing the world as it is, ie with a mind that has no thoughts or feelings of attachment (Sanskrit trishna). This attitude is called no-mind (Chinese Wu-hsin), a state of consciousness in which thoughts occur without a trace. Unlike other forms of Buddhism, Zen holds that such mental freedom can not be achieved through gradual practice, it must come through a direct and immediate idea (Chinese, tun-wu, in Japanese, satori). Thus, the Zen abandons both theories as systems of spiritual practice and communicates his vision of truth by a method known as direct indication. Its interpreters meet all philosophical and religious questions through symbolic words or actions. The answer is the action as it is and not what it represents. Response is typical Zen master Yao-shan, asked: "What is the path (of Zen)?" replied: "A cloud in the sky and water in the jar!". Zen students are prepared to be receptive to such responses by sitting for meditation (in Japanese, za-zen) while observing, without comment, no matter what happens.
3. CULTS
The two main sects of Zen are the Rinzai Zen and Soto Zen Soto seems to put more emphasis on the discipline of za-zen, while the Rinzai sect consider the problems of meditation ( Japanese, koan) based on the dialogues (in Japanese, mondo), similar to the examples mentioned earlier, among the old masters and their students. Students are expected to show the teacher your understanding of an incident of some direct non-verbal (eg pointing), in a private interview sanzen called in Japanese.
4. INFLUENCE ON THE ARTS AND CRAFTS
The Zen is studied widely in semi-monastic communities in which they supported for limited periods of candidates. However, the monastery is a strict Zen training school combining meditation with a considerable amount of manual labor. Students of these schools with special attention to the arts and crafts, especially painting, calligraphy, gardening, architecture and ceremonies tea. In Japan also practiced the arts of the bow, fencing and jujitsu. Zen has had a great influence on the arts and crafts from the Far East, as their point of view has more to do with action than theory and direct vision of nature rather than the interpretation . According to Zen, the mind behaves like a window pane rather than as a mirror, that is, the mind should give an immediate view instead of giving an interpretation of the world. All theories of nature are seen as obstacles in this sight. Zen shows its continuity with the original idea of \u200b\u200bthe philosopher Indian founder of Buddhism, Gautama Buddha, that suffering is the result of the desire to possess, because it holds that the mind and feeling frustrated when their own operations conform with deliberation to the world of experience. Thus, the main theme of the religious paintings Zen is natural forms as birds, grasses, rocks and mountains shown only as images in a style that combines technical than minimal planning and determination. This art eludes iconography (plate or representation by visual means such as painting) and expresses a path of knowledge based more on experience than ideas, because the Zen is not subjected to any system, doctrine or belief.
5. HISTORY
According to tradition, the Zen was introduced in China in 520 by the Indian Buddhist monk Bodhidharma . The most important figures in the early development of Zen, which is characteristic of China, were Hui-neng, Te-shan and Lin-chi. The ink painting in China during the Sung Dynasty (960-1280) was one of the finest artistic expressions of the Zen school
The two branches Zen major who settled in Japan were taken by Japanese who had studied in China. The Buddhist monk Eisai introduced in 1191 and Rinzai Zen Buddhist monk Dogen Soto Zen introduced in 1227. Both continue to spread in Japan. With the development of Zen in the archipelago, painters Sesshu, Sesson Jasoku Shûkei and directly expressed in his Zen vision of nature. Under his influence, the Japanese raised the art of tea ceremony at the highest level of refinement and also developed a characteristic form of poetry: the haiku, a poem is extremely short.
Western interest in Zen back to the publication in English of the first authoritative report on the subject, Essays in Zen Buddhism by the Japanese scholar Daisetz T. Suzuki. After World War II (1939-1945) and the occupation of Japan by the United States woke up in this country and in Europe a strong interest in Zen, especially among artists, philosophers and psychologists. Had a special attraction for painters and sculptors and non-figurative abstract. Western philosophers have felt sympathy with the thought of the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, on the theory of general semantics of the scientist and writer Alfred Korzybski, and to some extent with existentialism proposed by the German philosopher Martin Heidegger.
