Philosophical interpretation of Name

• Sakura

Represents the Beauty and Death.

In the cherry blossom, beauty and death occur very quickly.

Beauty appears as a symbol of Life. The study and practice of martial arts is based on preservation instinct.

Death, somehow implicit in the above concept, but with opposite connotations, has an implicit presence in all the gestures of everyday life.

By harnessing these, in search of inner peace, cause you at all times our behaviors are consistent with the laws of Nature and the Universe; not something that is going to happen, but as something that happens. O sea, is a real feeling.

We can here allude to a precept Samurai, that said :

"I have no life and no death. I do eternal Life and Death. "

• Take

Represents the flexibility, the hardness and the Void.

The bamboo molds to all situations always recovering its original position. The hardness comes in so far that, upright, it is hard and throbbing; while the vacuum is represented by the inside.

It is for this reason that this name reminds these points that are essential to the practice of all martial art.

Flexibility is synonymous with Humility, Courtesy, Understanding, Understanding, Love, etc., in brief, egolessness.

The correct application of the contraction and relaxation of the body happens in the time indicated for each situation; which is marked by the circumstances and by the above laws .

Among the many connotations also cite the perfect balance that must exist between the hard and soft, with a predominance of what Duro Blando.

 

A true story

In my early school membership, arose between master Shimabukuro (Uehara student teacher) and I, at the end of a long day of training, this conversation.

He:

– The teacher (Uehara) said: “Bamboo goes where the wind takes you, Mowing the sword.”

( This interpretation is similar, to hold to say here: “In neither case weathervane”. Or the same as saying: “Being more hot sun.”
This interpretation, of one of the qualities of bamboo ,has nothing to do with our concept of it. Not only that, but was surprised, because I had not noticed it. )

I replied:

– Bamboo gives adequate strength but always with the intention set to return to its natural state. It molds but does not deviate from its primary purpose. Bamboo is moving in the direction the wind takes it but always with the same objective: harmony with the surrounding environment. But never used this quality to the detriment of its habitat or contradicting the rules of Nature. What Mr. Shimabukuro wanted to play by the mouth of the Master Uehara: “Time would show that bamboo sword break.” Namely, Bamboo's goal is survival in last grade, without contradicting the rules of Nature and the Universe. And, although changes track, Site never moves.

Let's say that when it comes to bamboo sword, is like when it comes to the wind. (He who wields the sword with that thought is as if looking at a ghost bamboo.) Even when it is cut, is perpetuated in countless useful products for other purposes.

This whole conversation was with a translator. What to Know, understand what my interlocutor, so; it was satisfied with the response, I guess the teacher transcribe.

Based on that it is hard and soft Death is Life, to explain general features that:

Soft Man is Hard at birth and at death. Thus, man must fight to maintain flexibility, not only on the physical, but also mental and spiritual. In case of the absence of one of these aspects, achieving true optimal flexibility is fruitless.

In this case (The soft) We are talking about the Japanese concept represented by the “WHY“.

The Hard

• The Hard: bearing in mind the concept mentioned in the previous paragraph.
• The Hard: inevitable, while the one is implied in the other .

How hard is inevitable, real and pragmatic. It is for this reason that the man spends his whole life, consciously or not, in a struggle to beat this part of his life.

The survival instinct of living beings or not, is irrefutable proof of their tendency to fight stiffness or death.

For true relaxation in action just look aa animals when walking, rest, hunt, fight, etc.

Not for nothing, Martial Arts have always tried, in the execution of their movements, to imitate certain animals. (Five Elements, Five animals.)

In Yoga, whose definition is the union of the Self with the Universe, uses a number of methods and disciplines both physical and mental and spiritual, to achieve immortality.

Life goes according placing Chakras (wheels). This they will interconexionando each other to Manero ascending descending, depending on the energy with which in those times you are working. Each Chakra is credited with a number of characteristics. One of these features is that, each Chakra is given a representative element of the same. Be part of the most solid and comes to nothing: land (survival), water (duality ), fire (transformation). air (love), Ether, etc.

In Yoga there are many paths and all the common denominator is the tendency to Immortality. In the Hata yoga, positions are intended to break the body stiffness and combining the Physical Mind. This, your instincts to excel, always aims to more, while the body is conditioned by its limitations: pain, fatigue, etc. While, Breathing mediates between. It is responsible for the pain and all the negative aspects of the effort are rewarded in the calm and peace that leads to perfect breathing. After the effort, every training session ends with relaxation and meditation, contrary to these aspects Hard.

Asanas (Yoga postures) are mostly animal names to which imitates.

The tendency of the Self in its struggle for survival and immortality is nothing more than trying to beat it Hard, tendency is innate in all beings on this planet. Whether the survival instinct in most primary states as in the more advanced stages of Being . It is heading for very different reasons to immortality. This leads to say that being should determine how hard and master from a holistic view of the same.

How is it possible that no wants to die?

The Hard can be represented by: how tense, the violent, The Crying, Ignorance, Death, and etc. They are all real situations and life itself, where they try to hide the obvious is pure fallacy. All aforementioned concepts as tension, violence ,etc., have its counterpart in another opposite concept. Thus:

HARD	SOFT
Ignorance	Wisdom
Hate	Love
The untruth	Truth
Darkness	Light
Violence	Peace
The Sadness	Happiness
Ugliness	Beautiful
The fear	Courage
We stress	Relaxation
Disease	Health
Death	Immortality

And possibly many other concepts could be cited, but what we mean here just need to stare both columns and each draw their own conclusions:

Note:

Some thinkers argue that it is the petrification or hardness, itself, is the Eternal.

The Void

Contrary to what many people think, Emptiness of which we speak here is content and. The greatest creations are made after a thorough study and practice and usually after a long period of time results are achieved changing humanity. So, there are others that are the result of pure chance.

We understand this as the man most used reason to solve ,create and all acts of daily life even to lose some of that as animal instincts are inherent in favor of reason ; error that is unfortunately very widespread. As ,How can a person use reason if the words he uses to answer your questions in most cases does not know its meaning or what is wrong.

Strangely, when asked the difference between seeing and looking, or between understanding and understanding, etc., would be surprised of the results.

Studies, as the Koans, which is a series of short questions whose answers, not easily rational solution. The disciples work long hours and even months or years to come up with the right answer, which in most cases are not resolved by rational answers but rather by nonsensical answers.

This method which aims to teach reason to quit.

As regards Martial, Something similar happens. The student repeats and repeats the gestures as often as you can and more. The reasons for and memorizes the last time, all disappear and emerge from irreason.

The fact is known in Japanese repeat the name of Mo- Ichi -Do, meaning “again”. Thus, when a teacher asks a question, he always answers Mo – Ichi -Do.

When I ask students what is a secret technique, I answer them “Repeat and repeat”.

To end this introduction, consider fundamental recovery of all the animal instincts of Being, germinate and flourish by all without exception, and to feel and enjoy nature in its most natural state, pun. The instincts are that we should give the first information, the senses must recover all its functions to sharpen. This our most animals recover.

From my many conversations with students and diverse people, I have reached the conclusion that puts most rational to animals. To what extent the ignorant man is vain!

In animal and physical must reach the ultimate consequences for, if you begin to reason, the instinct to avoid many mistakes.

“MAN IS ANIMAL INSTINCT AND THEREFORE”

The man becomes rational, with all its connotations, As used in the ratio, leading to what is known as “rational animal”.

Since at this point we will not discover anything new…

“NORMAL MAN IS WISE”

Here we discover a myriad of new things. And among them, all doubts that arise. And we discover that doubt…

These, man is aware of his limitations, which seek to meet with their creations. In most cases it will at the expense of its own existence.

The senses, in this phase be, find a new member: the spirit. This deficiency is overcome by the other senses acting as a mediator between them. And what is more important, this sense is having a real and close relationship with the aforementioned energy, such as telluric and celestial which know as infinite energy.

As we use hue for reason, we must remember that “know” not imply “know”. The “know” can have connotations that tend more towards the finite, while “know” infinity is represented by the.

The essence of emptiness comes perfectly embodied in the phrase of St. Augustine says:

“Love God and do what you want.”

Or that other saying of Buddha:

“While Dead Kill yourself and do what you want.”

Or the definition of God given by Muslims:

In the name of God the merciful The apiadable

He is God, The only. God the Eternal

No begat ,nor was begotten

And there is none equal to Him.

 

“The wise man is intuitive”

– The absence of ego.

– The non-Intent.

The Void full or infinite Spoken, is one that comes from the combination of telluric and celestial energies in the Self and the All (Infinite Energy).
