Quotes from Sawaki Kodo Roshi, "To You":
Once there was a great madman in the Sugamo hospital
who called himself “Ashiwara Shōgun.” He hung a cardboard
medal around his neck and bestowed dignified words to
those he met to take with them on their way. Now that the
war is over, we can see clearly that what the military did
wasn’t at all different.
After winning the Russo-Japanese war, we thought we’d won
colonies. But what really came of it? After losing the Second
World War, we realized that we had only earned the hatred of
the Russians.
Online "Zen and Zazen" every Monday from 20:00~20:50 Japanese time (12:00 in Central Europe during the winter, 13:00 during the summer), hosted by my friend Xuan:
