Sword of Mushin (No Mind) School: Sunyata

Founded by Hariya Sekiun (16th century), we must "Scratch away all the dirt our being has accumulated even before our birth and reveal reality in its is-ness, or its suchness, or in its nakedness, which corresponds to the Buddhist concept of emptiness (sunyata)" (Suzuki 179).

The Master Mind of the Infant: Zen, Not Techniques

ย Enter the mirror of "is-ness" into the heaven of Original Mind . . .

According to Odagiri Ichuin, student of Sekiun, a samurai must be as a infant.

When the naked Buddha was born he stepped forward and proclaimed: "Heaven above and earth below, I alone and the most honored one!"

Thus, the samurai must proclaim: " I am the only swordsman who has no peers in the world."

Remember, do not comment of the huge size of my butter butt. Okay?
