Infinite Beauty
by Taisen Deshimaru Roshi
Muso fuku den e
Muso: infinite
What is infinity? Hishiryo (hi: non): thinking without thinking, thinking
beyond thinking.
It is not a question of quantity. Personal consciousness is not limited.
Don't make categories. This way, creativity and wisdom develop. This is
very important.
Muso: non-aspect, non-apparent.
Kodo Sawaki called certain faces muso. Muso is infinite beauty, deep.
Some people always smile, others not at all. The
appearance of the face is a reflection of the spirit. It is easier to read
a face than words. Personal characteristics manifest themselves in the face
and in the natural comportment. But few know it and many always try to decorate,
to put make-up over their own characteristics.
Through zazen, intuition becomes strong. So you can more easily penetrate
the real mind of others, like looking in a mirror.
