Commentary Book on Tannisho

I have read four books from the middle of the month. Among those, I think I try mentioning the impression reading the guide of Tannisho.

"if I went to the island where nobody lives, I would bring Tannisho". We always hear the phrase well. however, I think I never have it because I don't think it gives me the impression very well. It seems that a past writer also didn't get the impression from it however he couldn't let go of it when his son died.

Now, I leave the impression as follows.

 - Tannisho means feeling sad about a different opinion.

 - The deep of Shinran's heart was great.

 - Shinran stays in the position of the poor of the knowledge and belief and he is the person like protestant standing the training with getting the light of Amidabutsu's help.

 - The person who lived with keeping the balance in the big swing.

- The Yuien's contents whose he wrote Tannisho was so great that the Shinran's teaching left after the generations.

- Yuien wrote that let not people who don't have the belief read because of avoiding to twist Shinran's words.

Besides that, I thought it's great that when we think that's the right thing at the moment, we lost that and become not have the balance.

It was a fresh view that religion categorizes to the type of connection, knowing myself, and rescue.

I still am not enough to read it. I'd like to repeat to read Tannisho's original story again someday, but it not is now.

 

今月中旬から4冊の本を読んだ。その中で歎異抄の解説本を読んだ感想を述べてみようと思う。

無人島に行くなら歎異抄を持っていく。よく聞くフレーズだ。しかし、私は決して持って行かないだろう。それほど感銘する内容には思えなかったからだ。かつての文豪も読んだときは何も感銘を受けなかったが、子を無くした後に読んだときは手放せなくなったそうだ。

今、残っている印象は次のとおり。

  • 歎異抄は異義を嘆くという意味
  • 親鸞が人として深さが凄かったこと
  • 親鸞は知も信も不完全な者でしかないという立場で、阿弥陀仏の救いの光にあたりながら生涯、修行を積んだプロテスタント的な人だったこと
  • 両極端な振りの中でバランスを保ちながら生きた人だったこと
  • 法然という仏教を分解・再構築した師がいたこと
  • 歎異抄を書いた唯円（ゆいえん）の文章が優秀過ぎて、親鸞の教えが後世に残ったということ
  • 唯円は親鸞の教えを自分勝手に解釈されることを避けるため信心の無い者には読ませるなと記していること

他に、自分が正しいと思った瞬間に見えなくなるもの、偏っていくという感性にはグッときた。宗教はつながり型、悟り型、救い型のタイプに分けられる点も新鮮だった。

まだまだ私の読みは浅い。いつか歎異抄の原文を繰り返して読んでみたい。でもそれは今ではない。

 

阿弥陀＝アミターユス Amitāyus（無限の寿命をもつ者)＋アミターバ Amitābha（無限の光明をもつ者）サンスクリット語

 

I have read four books since the middle of this month. Among them, I would like to express my thoughts on the commentary book on Tannisho.

if I went to the uninhabited island, I would bring Tannisho. That's a common phrase. I will never, however, take it there because it didn't seem so impressive. Once a great writer was not impressed by anything, it is said that when he read it after he lost his child, he could not part with it.

The impression left now is as follows.

 - Tannisho means lamenting differences.
 - Shinran was a person of great depth.
 - Shinran was a protestant person who practiced his life in the light of salvation by Amidabutsu from the standpoint that both knowledge and faith were imperfect.
 - Shinran was a person who lived with a balance in opposing both extremes.
 - There was a master named Honen who disassembled and reconstructed Buddhism.
 - The text of Yuien, who wrote Tannisho, was so excellent that Shinran's teachings remained in posterity.
 - Yuien wrote that Shinran's teachings should not be read by those who have no faith in order to avoid being interpreted arbitrarily.

Other than that, I was impressed by the sensitivity that I lost sight of the moment I thought I was right and became biased.
The fact that religions can be divided into connection, enlightenment, and salvation types is also refreshing.

My reading is still shallow. Someday I would like to read the original text of Tannisho over and over again. that's not now, however.

Olympic opening ceremony

I watched the Olympic opening ceremony on tv last night.

I thought it's simple and wonderful without gaudy. what Seiko Hashimoto leader said something makes me empathized, but Bach leader's speech is so long that I had slept because of watching with laying.

at many performances in the ceremony, I was interested in the performance of the pictogram as we thought about NHK program. in the addition, I also was interested in the contrast between the performance of the drone and transformed the sphere of the tooth tower, and the thing that Edo's firemen pull the rope and completed the five rings.

Coivd-19 is rising but I hope I could finish the Olympic game safely. In my opinion, I thought it's good to hold the Olympic game now.

 

昨晩オリンピックの開会式を見た。

ど派手な演出もなくシンプルで素敵な開会式だった思う。橋本聖子会長が胸を詰まらせて話してをしているところが印象的だった。しかし、バッハ会長の話しはあまりにも長く、寝転んで見ていたせいもあり途中で寝てしまった。

開会式中の多くのパフォーマンスのある中、ピクトグラムのパフォーマンスはNHKを想わせる演出ではあったが、個人的はとても日本的で面白く感じた。また、ドローンの演出や聖火台の球体がメカニカルに変形する演出と、江戸の火消したちが綱を引いて５輪を完成する演出の対比も面白く感じた。

コロナ感染者が増え続けているが、期間中無事にオリンピックが終わることを祈ります。意外だが、今となってはオリンピックを開催して良かったのではないかと思い直してしまった。

I watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics last night.

It was a simple and wonderful opening ceremony without showy staging. It was impressive to see Seiko Hashimoto, chairman of the association, talking with her heart full. But Bach's speech was so long that I fell asleep on the way, partly because I was lying down and watching it.

While there were many performances during the opening ceremony, Pictogram's performance reminded me of an NHK program, but I personally found it very Japanese and interesting. It was also interesting to see the contrast between the drone production and the mechanical transformation of the Olympic cauldron sphere, and the Edo firemen pulling the rope to complete the five rings.

I hope the Olympics will end safely during the period as the number of coronavirus cases continues to increase. I was surprised myself, but now I think it's good to hold the Olympics.
