Description

The practice of the person who has interest in Zen Buddhism greatly influences our lives in various ways. To explore the situation and reason, It is important that we study the idea of Zen Buddhism and the practice of Zen Buddhists. By studying the process that Kobun TUJI - a practitioner in the field of child welfare - comes to live in his way as a lay Buddhist in life, not as a priest, we approach this theme. TUJI, when young, was not able to bear the pain of other people. He struggled seriously with this. Through his experience with Zenkei Shibayama - a Zen Master - TUJI had learned that the practice of the Zen Buddhist can be found everywhere. And so, TUJI had come to walk the road of a lay Buddhist.TUJI was very faithful for a person to meet a person and a matter to meet. So to speak, There is a "force". In fact, would not this "force" be one of expression of the Zen Buddhist? This "force" becomes the strong intention to "the scene of the practice" that own act presents, the Practice call further practice and develop it like "a spiral". This "spiral" of the Zen Buddhist would unfold as practice to have a big influence on the living of people. We immediately must deepen understanding to Zen, and to go to the elucidation about this "spiral" Of course it goes without saying that it is the theme that the consideration of the practice in the field of welfare of TUJI should search in the future.
