久し振りの３連休、鋭気を養ったはずなのに今ひとつハッキリとしないボーとした頭で出勤。会社の前まで来て、「なに・・・、
なななんだ、これは！！」、一瞬眼を疑った。何と会社の正面玄関にポッカリと大きな穴が開いている、
人の足がスッポリと入る大きさの穴である。よく視ると、側溝の溝に被せている蓋が無くなっており、溝がむき出しになっている。
ただそれだけ事であるが、正面玄関のしかも丁度真ん中である。ボーとした頭で歩いてくると間違いなく足を突っ込み、
下手をすると大怪我をしかねない状況になっている。誰がこんな事を・・・。

最近鉄類が相当値上がりしてる、中でも銅管やステンレスが高いらしい。マスコミ報道で、地下ケーブルが盗まれたとか、
歩道の鎖が捕られたとか、鉄杭が抜き捕られたなど時々耳にしてはいたが、まさかまさか直接自分に関係してくるとは・・・、全く驚きである。
面白いというか呆れるというか・・・。

側溝の蓋が何故か高級なステンレスでつくられていたのだ。しかも、真ん中部分だけが固定されてなく、
掃除用に取り外し可能になっていた。それを持って行ったらしい。何ともマー・・傑作な話である。それにしても持って行った奴の顔が見たい・・
・、怒りはしないからこのブログを見たら顔を見せてくれ。

但し、明日から週末まで東京出張、顔を見せるのは来週にして欲しい・・・。

Three consecutive holidays after a long absence, I went to work with a dazed head which is not clear now though I should have cultivated a keen spirit. I walked up to the office and said, “What the…
What the hell is this! For a moment, I couldn’t believe my eyes. There’s a big, fat hole in the front door of the company.
The hole is the size of a person’s foot. A closer look reveals that the lid covering the ditch in the gutter is gone, leaving the ditch bare.
That was the only thing, but it was right in the middle of the main entrance. He walked in with a dazed head and definitely stuck his foot in it.
We are in a situation where we could be seriously injured if we get it wrong. Who would do something like this…

Recently, the price of iron has risen considerably, especially copper tubes and stainless steel. There are media reports that underground cables have been stolen.
I had heard that the chain of the sidewalk had been caught, or that an iron stake had been pulled out, but I never thought that it was directly related to me… I was completely surprised.
It’s not just funny, it’s appalling…

For some reason, the gutter covers were made of high-grade stainless steel. Moreover, only the middle part is not fixed.
It was removable for cleaning. Apparently, he took it with him. It’s a masterpiece. But I want to see the face of the guy who took it.
I’m not angry, so if you see this blog, show me your face.

However, I’m on a business trip to Tokyo from tomorrow to the weekend, so I hope I can show my face next week….

昨日（９月１２日）、安倍首相が突然辞意を表明！。

船場ロータリークラブの歓送迎ゴルフコンペが奈良国際ゴルフ場で開催され、歓送迎の花火よろしく豪快にボールを打ち上げ？、
ハーフを終えてクラブハウスで食事を楽しんでいた時、突然、「安倍首相が辞意を表明」との声が聞こえた。なに・・・、
一瞬耳がおかしくなったかと思った。テレビを観ると「辞任表明の記者会見」が映し出されている、今度は目を疑った。
まさに晴天の霹靂とはこのこと、全くビックリした。

テレビや新聞報道では、それぞれ識者が見解を述べているが、何が本当なのかよく判らない。ただハッキリと言えることは
「気力が萎えた」と云う事であろう。所謂、「意欲、やる気」の「気」である。与謝野官房長官によると「健康上（体力）の問題も一因」
との事であるが、健康は身体だけでなく心の問題が大きい。

「健康な身体に健全な心がやどる」という言葉があるが、一方
「健全な心に健康な身体がやどる」とも言われる。一般的には前者の方であるが私は逆で、
後者の方が正しいと信念している。心身の問題は非常に難しく、一概にどちらがどうとは言えないが、真の健康は、
「心が川上で身体が川下」と思っている。

今回の安倍首相の辞任も、「体力よりも気力」の問題である。就任以来約１年、内・外両面からボデーブロウを打たれ続け、
たまりかねて「気」が悲鳴をあげたようである。「気の健康」
「心の健康」というのは非常に難しく、点滴や投薬では維持できない。最近は、
ある種の健康ブームでフィットネスクラブや健康体操、健康器具、健康食品等々、身体の健康には大変な気の使いようであるが、
意外と心の健康はなおざりに成りがちでは無かろうか。「真の健康は心から」
と信念している私には少し疑問に思えるところである。特に政治を志す人は「心の健康」
に気をつけて頂きたい。

中村天風哲人の言葉（誦句）にこんなのがある。「たとえ身に病があっても心まで病ますまい、たとえ運命に非なるものがあっても心まで悩ますまい。
否一切の苦しみをも　なお楽しみとなす強さを心に持たせよう。」。何事も、思い方考え方である。

Yesterday (September 12), Prime Minister Abe suddenly announced his resignation!

Funaba Rotary Club’s welcome and farewell golf competition was held at Nara International Golf Course, and they launched the ball vigorously like a welcome and farewell fireworks. and
We had just finished the half and were enjoying a meal in the clubhouse when suddenly we heard a voice say, “Prime Minister Abe has announced his resignation. What the…
For a moment I thought my ears were going crazy. When I watched the TV, it showed a “press conference announcing his resignation”, this time I couldn’t believe my eyes.
This was a bolt out of the blue, and I was completely surprised.

On TV and in the newspapers, there are many experts expressing their views, but I’m not sure what is true. I can only say one thing for sure.
I think it’s more like “I’ve lost my energy. So to speak, it is the “ki” of “motivation” and “motivation”. According to Chief Cabinet Secretary Yosano, “health (physical) issues are also a factor.
However, health is not only a matter of the body but also of the mind.

There’s a saying, “A healthy body restores a healthy mind,” and while
It is also said, “A healthy body rests on a sound mind. Generally, it’s the former, but I’m the opposite.
I believe that the latter is correct. Mental and physical problems are very difficult and it’s hard to say which is which, but true health is
He thinks, “My mind is upstream and my body is downstream.

Prime Minister Abe’s resignation is also a matter of “grit rather than strength”. In the nearly a year since taking office, he has been bodied both inside and out.
It seems that “Ki” screamed in frustration. Chi health.
‘Mental health’ is very difficult and cannot be maintained with drips or medication. These days.
With a kind of health craze, fitness clubs, gymnastics, health equipment, health foods, etc., it seems that we take great care of our physical health, but
Isn’t it easy to neglect your mental health? True health comes from the heart.
It is a bit questionable for me, who believes that the Especially for those who aspire to politics, “mental health.
Please pay attention to the following.

In the words (chant) of Teppo Nakamura, there is the following Even if you have a disease in you, do not be sick in your heart, and even if your fate is not right, do not be troubled in your heart.
Let your heart have the strength to look forward to all the suffering. . Everything is the way you think, the way you think.

ほんこの前、このブログで故郷「隠岐之島」の素晴らしさを自慢したばかりであるが、その隠岐之島が今瀕死の重傷にある。
マスコミで一寸報道はあったが、「大分雨が降ったらしい」程度のことで特に気にも留めていなかった。
ところが昨日所用があって田舎に電話したところ、想像を絶する豪雨で、隠岐全島が大変な被害に喘いでいる事が判った。聞くところによると
「僅か3時間で500ミリ近い雨が降った」という。其の為、各地区の多くが鉄砲水にやられ、道路は寸断されるは、家に水は入り込むは、
でそれは大変な状況であったとのこと。

早速、西ノ島町役場に連絡を取り詳細の情報収集に努め、知人にも誰彼となく電話をしてみた。中には床上浸水で家の中は泥だらけ、
納屋が崖崩れでつぶれ母屋に倒れ掛かっているなど、それはそれは大変らしい。役場の情報によると、西ノ島町で床上浸水３６戸、
床下浸水７４戸、公共施設や納屋や牛子屋などの被害は数知れず、車両も何台か流されたらしい。
１０００戸程の町であり１０分の１が床上床下浸水したことになる。そんな状況の中、今日は県知事が現地視察に来るという。
町としては何とか国の災害指定を取り付け、復旧にこぎつけないとただでさえ火の車である財政が持たない。
幹線道路は何とか復旧したらしいが山道は入ることさえ出来ずにいるという。ところが、よくよく聞いてみると島前（西ノ島、海士、知夫）
よりも島後の方が大変らしい。家もさることながら田畑が殆どダメらしい。田畑に土石流が入った所は高齢者の農夫ではどうにもならない。結果、
農業を止めてしまう事になる。

郷里を離れている者は、ただ心配するしかないが何とか頑張って欲しいものである。それにしてもマスコミは、
ちっぽけな離島の事など全く眼中にないのか、これくらいの事は報道に値しないのか、その点はよく判らないが、ただ言えることは、
くだらぬ馬鹿話に公共の電波を使い、肝心な事には使い惜しみをしている。今の日本をここまで堕落させたのは偏にマスコミであると言いたい。

Just a few days ago, I boasted about the splendor of my hometown, Oki Island, in this blog, and now the island is dying and seriously injured.
There were a few reports in the media, but I didn’t pay any attention to them because it seemed to be raining a lot.
However, when I called the countryside yesterday on business, I found out that the entire Oki Islands were suffering from unimaginable downpours. according to what I’ve heard
It rained nearly 500 millimeters in just three hours. Because of this, many of the districts were destroyed by flash floods, the roads were cut off, water entered the houses, and so on.
And it was a very difficult situation.

I immediately contacted the Nishinoshima Town Hall to gather more information and called everyone I knew. Some of them are flooded above the floor, and the inside of the house is muddy.
The barn was crushed by a landslide and the main house was on the ground. According to the town hall information, 36 houses were flooded above the floor in Nishinoshima Town.
Seventy-four houses were flooded under the floor, public facilities, barns and cows’ houses were not counted, and several vehicles were washed away.
It’s a town of about 1,000 houses, and a tenth of them were flooded above and below the floor. Under such circumstances, the governor of the prefecture is coming to visit the site today.
If the town doesn’t somehow get a national disaster designation and work on restoration, the town will not be able to keep up with its finances, which are already on fire.
The main road has been repaired, but the mountain road is not even accessible. However, upon closer inspection, it appears that Shimamae (Nishinojima, Ama, Tomoo)
It seems to be more difficult after the island than after the island. It seems that most of the rice fields, not to mention the house, are ruined. An elderly farmer can’t do anything about the place where the mudslide entered the fields. Result.
It would put a stop to farming.

Those who are away from their hometown can only worry about it, but I hope they can do their best. But then again, the media…
I don’t know if they don’t care about the tiny isolated islands or if they don’t deserve to be reported, but what I can say is this.
They use the public airwaves to talk nonsense, but they don’t use it for the important things. I would like to say that it is the mass media that has corrupted Japan to this point.

日曜日、ゴルフの打ちぱなしで汗を流していると、携帯がブルル・・・・、「もしもし、お前、田中森一の反転読んだか・・」
突然兄からの電話である。「なに、それ・・」、「今話題の小説、止めケン（検事）の田中森一が書いた本だ」、「それがどうしたん・・」、
「直ぐ買って読め・・・、これは凄い、朝から首っ引き目が離せん。境遇的に相通じる所もあるし、久し振りに感動した・・」、
少し興奮気味の電話であった。

私は、兄とは一つ違い、所謂年子である。歳は違わなくても兄と弟は全く違う。とにかく兄貴というのは凄い、
ある意味親以上に怖い存在である。その兄の命令である、きかぬ訳には行かない。早速その足で本屋に向かい、大枚1700円をはたき「反転」
を購入。

直ぐに読み始めた、ところが仕事柄もあってか兄の受けた印象と少し違い、寧ろ反発を覚えるところさえある。弁護士たる者が・・・、
守秘義務は・・・等とつい思ってしまう。それにしても、裏社会の一部を垣間見る事ができる興味深い本であったことに違いは無い。

その中で、筆者田中森一は、「終章」と「あとがき」の中で書いているが、
獄中精神的に相当参っている時に友人から送られた一冊の本に救われたという。その本がなんと、
中村天風の講演録をテープ起こしした「成功の実現」であったという。
以後、中村天風に関する本を読み漁り、今では枕元に常時、中村天風の著作「真理のひびき」を置き、何時も寝際に読んでいるという。ただ、
筆者田中森一は中村天風の本を、単なる「自己啓発本」と捉え紹介しているように取れるところがあり、
その点は少し気に入らない。と云うのも実は、中村天風は50年の長きに亙って講演活動を行いながら、
自筆の本は殆ど残していない。それには、先生なりの深い考え方があり、真理の教えは「文章で書き表せれるものではない・・」との思いと
「本を読んで簡単に判ったと思われたら、逆に教えが仇になることがある（中途半端に勉強し判った気になっていると、
イザ事があった時にできず、出来ない自分が情けなくなり落ち込みがより一層深くなる）」との考えがあったようである。所が、
戦後周囲の強い要望から断りきれず、非売を条件に3冊の本を書いている。その本が、今「天風会」
の唯一の教材となっているが市販はされていない。本の題名は、「真人生の探究」
「研心抄」「錬身抄」で、所謂、天風三部作である。その他に「安定打坐考抄」があるが、何れも非売品である。可也難解な本であるが、
市販されている中村天風関係の本とは一味も二味も違う。市販されている天風関係の本は、天風会の会員やその周辺者が書いたものが全てで、
天風先生自らの著作で無い為、単なる自己啓発のハウツー本として読まれる傾向がある。

本当に中村天風直伝の「心身統一法」を勉強するには、各地に在る天風会員の集まる所に出向き、直接学ぶしか方法はない。
京阪沿線在住者は是非「香里天風会」へおこし下さい。

On Sunday, as I was sweating from golfing, my cell phone rang: “If you’ve read Mori Tanaka’s Inversion…
Suddenly it was a phone call from my brother. What’s that?”, “It’s a book written by the popular novelist, Tanaka Morikazu, who is a prosecutor.”, “What’s that about?
“Buy it now and read it…this is great, I can’t take my eyes off of it in the morning. I was touched for the first time in a long time, because we are in the same situation.
It was a slightly excited phone call.

I am an older child than my brother, so to speak. They may not be different in age, but they are completely different from my brother. Anyway, you’re a great big brother.
In a way, they are more scary than their parents. It’s his brother’s order, and he can’t afford to ignore it. I immediately went to the bookstore and bought a large amount of 1,700 yen for “Reversing”.
Purchase.

I started reading it immediately, but it was a little different from my brother’s impressions because of the nature of my work, and I even felt repulsed by it. A lawyer…
I think that confidentiality is … etc. Nevertheless, it must have been an interesting book that gave us a glimpse into the underworld.

The author, Shinichi Tanaka, writes in his “Final Chapter” and “Afterword
When he was mentally overwhelmed in prison, he was saved by a book sent to him by a friend. The book is…
It is said that it was a taped transcript of Tenpou Nakamura’s lecture, “The Realization of Success”.
Since then, he has read many books on Nakamura Tenpou, and now always keeps his book “The Hibiki of Truth” at his bedside, which he reads at night. Just…
The author, Shinichi Tanaka, seems to have introduced Tenpou Nakamura’s book as a mere “self-help book”.
I’m a little uncomfortable with that. In fact, Tenpou Nakamura has been giving lectures for 50 years, but he has also been involved in the
He kept few autograph books. There was a deep thought of his own, and he felt that the teachings of the truth could not be expressed in writing.
If you read a book and think you understand it easily, your teaching may be against you (if you study halfway through and think you understand it, you may not understand it at all).
It seems that he had the idea that he would not be able to do it at the time of the disaster, which would make him feel sorry for himself and his depression even deeper. But…
After the war, at the urging of those around him, he was unable to refuse, and wrote three books on the condition that they would not be sold. That book is now called “Tenpukai.
It is the only teaching material of the Japanese government, but it is not available on the market. The title of the book is “The Quest for True Human Life.
This is the so-called “Tenpou Trilogy”, which is “Kenshinsho” and “Renshinsho”. In addition, there is a copy of Steady Daza-Ko-Sho, all of which are not for sale. It’s a rather esoteric book, but
It’s a bit different from the books about Tenpou Nakamura that are on the market. All the books on Tianfeng that are available on the market are written by members of the Tianfeng Kai or those around them.
Since it is not written by Mr. Tenpou himself, it tends to be read as just a how-to book for self-development.

The only way to truly study the ‘mind-body unification method’ of Nakamura Tenpou’s direct teachings is to go to various places where Tenpou members gather and learn directly.
If you live along the Keihan Line, please visit the “Kori Tenpukai”.

It’s a great way to make sure that you’re getting the most out of your time.
