- As for the blog's name: -


I was @ Gustav Ericsson's sight, - Anzenkai, and I was looking at Nishijima Roshi’s calligraphies over there. Particularly there is one - "seki shin hen pen" - about which Gustav has earlier said in a blog post that it is Nishijima's favorite phrase from Master Dogen.

This seemed strange to me. It was not what I would expect Nishijima Roshi's favorite phrase to be. It seemed it could be some Rinzai master's favorite quote, - it seems to express continuous and constant sincerity, - but it did not seem to fit my view of the way Nishijima Roshi saw things.

So - consequently - I tried to think what would I expect his favorite quote to be. But all phrases I could think of did not seem to fit just what I might have had in mind.

So I tried to come up with what I would see it as, - and what I have come up with - is - "this universe out here".

- And this seems to be the right name for this blog here too.


- Definitely.                                                 ________________________

החסד קללה
דרכו כעורה
השקר שרר
ועיוות מושל בכפה

ישועה אומללה טובלת ברחמים עצמיים
ראייה משובשת מטופחת ע״י המנחים

דברים פשוטים אינם נמצאים
אמת כהוויתה איננה ככלל בארגז הכלים

מזונו של אחד רעלו של אחר
ועולם זה צועד בדרך לא דרך
מבקש ערפל
בטפשות אין דומה לה
איש זונח עצמו, מחפש אלוהים
חסדים וקדושה
אין צלילות, שם - לא כאן, עוורון מסובך והזוי מתנהל מאמין לדברים
