The Meaning of Tanren
The meaning of tanren (discipline, training) lies in the effort to burn out the energy of one’s mind and body with burning flames. Tanren requires mental integration and concentration that lead to the deep root.
One can acquire resistance by going through tanren. Once one acquires resistance, one is able to withstand pain. Once one acquires a durable mind, exquisite sense will be fostered. Once exquisite sense is sharpened, one’s external consciousness and subconscious connect. When they connect, one acquires spiritual power. Once one acquires spiritual power, one will be able to cope with things naturally.
Tanren
FEAR
Fear is something one has to get over through tanren. To get over it, one needs to train one’s observation on the mind and develop the strength of will.
When one becomes conscious by sensing the function of mind and the truth of the universe, one’s fear disappears.
Kugyou (Penance)
Tanren (training) must not be kugyou (punishment). Do not forget that higi (secret tactics) exists in enjoyment.
How to acquire higi:
1. Have an open mind. Stay calm and composed.
2. Always be considerate of yourself and others.
3. Lend your ear to many people.
4. Become aware of your real feelings and discard your obsessions.
5. Feel regret for what you have done. Although feeling regret cannot take back what you have done, it can change your opponent and yourself.
6. Always have joy in your mind.
OBSTRUCTIONS TO TRAINING
Dou
Dou never answers in words. It makes you realize the existence of internal wisdom of the mind. It shows you the way of life. It teaches that the way you are is the truth.
People are swayed by worldly desire and obsessions. You don’t have to worry. While you have a life, do the best you can. When you die, you simply need to die.
Satori is achieved when your mind and the mind of the universe connect. When they connect, you start to bear supernatural power.
The World of Ku
While you are in meditation, there is a moment when you don’t hear any sound. There is a moment when only reverberations remain. When you are in the quiet moment, you are standing at the gateway to ku, where the power of mighty nature exists. You are standing at the gateway to sinmyouryoku (superhuman power) that is considered to be mu, the ultimate in technique. And in the world of sinmyouryoku, you see quick movements in slow motion. At that moment, you reach the gateway where geniuses and saints have reached.
Do not mistake the gate for the house (the truth) that stands inside.
Do not forget that you are on a parallel with the training to enable the low-layer fourth-dimensional sii, which draws negative power.
The most important thing is to use the mind of chudou as a monitor and carry out your goal of attaining satori of higher levels.
The internal fight is to try to control your fate by learning to control your spirit and feelings during a fight and facing the result of your decision and choice.
