"Peace and tranquility are sometimes more powerful and intimidating than anything else."
"The tea master showed great courage. That's what stopped the soldier."
"The soldier bowed to the tea master because he had a higher level of confidence."
"If you are perceived as competent and able, you will be considered an equal."
"The story seems to suggest that it is the appearance of the tea master that deters the attack. He looks calm and confident, but it's an illusion. Simple illusions can defeat enemies."
"If you look like you know what you are doing, people will not think otherwise. Where I work all of the supervisors park inside the gate while everyone else parks outside. But if you act like you're SUPPOSED to be inside the gate and drive right through, the security guards won't stop you! It's a matter of confidence."
"All that we ask others to give us we already possess."
"Each of us possesses certain skills, but none of us possesses all skills."
"There is nothing to fear but fear itself."
"I like this story because it demonstrates how you can do things you never thought you could - like face death."
"I really thought the soldier would fight anyway! But I guess people in Japan think differently than we do. Maybe they are more able to see bravery in others, and even step back to swallow their pride."
"I don't like this story because it's not realistic. If you stand your ground and show others you are not afraid, they won't necessarily leave you alone. You might get shot! Hey, I live in the city! What can I tell you."
"Good overpowers evil."
"This reminds me of the movie Star Wars. Oby just stands there and lets Darth Vader
strike him down. But as a result, Oby becomes even more powerful than before."
"Musashi Kensei once said something like: 'Underneath the upraised sword you tremble at the gate of hell. But advance fearlessly and there you find heaven.'"
"Seems like some kind of assertiveness training that failed."
"Maybe the tea master's quiet determination made the soldier see that a fight was not
necessary. It moved him to see the master's intrinsic worth and to accept the apology
that the master had offered."
"The actions that one performs daily may actually be special skills that only others truly
see in you. These skills are an extension of who you are. Maybe that's what the soldier
suddenly realized about the master."
"It's not easy showing kindness in the face of hostility. But kindness does win over
anger. The other person comes away with a changed heart."
"You can't control other people's actions, only your own actions and your own state of
mind. This is what stopped the soldier. He couldn't control his own mind, but he saw
that the tea master could."
"I like that the tea master didn't try to control what would happen. He just accepted the
situation and whatever outcome might result. That's true wisdom. That's what the
soldier noticed."
جنگجویی که نجگید اما شکست خورد
نصرت رحمانی
.
البته این داستان هیچ ارتباطی به این شعر وزین ندارد از خواندن این داستان به یاد این شعر افتادم و با خودم گفتم این جنگجو کجا و آن جنگجو کجا !!!
البته برای استاد چای نوشت:
جنگجویی که نجنگید اما پیروز شد.
..
اعتماد به نفس عجب قدرتی دارد !!
سلام کتاب ذن در هنر شمشیر زنی رو پیشنهاد می کنم.
سلام کتاب ذن در هنر چای رو پیشنهاد می کنم.
تمرکز جهان را سوی خود می کشد و تشویش جهان را می راند.
سلام . همیشه مطالب وبلاگ تان را می خوانم دوست عزیز و قدیمی . دل ام تنگ تان شده است . به خانواده ی گرامی و همسر بزرگ و مهربان سلام برسانید . به امید دیدار .
سلام
و بسیار سپاسگزارم. همسرم همیشه خبر شما را می گیرد و هر چند وقت یک بار میگه شماره تلفن شهبارا کجاست؟ چرا بهش زنگ نمی زنی؟ راست میگه همش تقصیر من هست.
ما همیشه منتظر دیدار شما هستیم
جمله جنگجویی که نجنگید اما شکست خورد مرا به یاد جمله ای دیگر انداخت که اینروزها روی در و دیوار محل کارمان چسبانده ام.
آنکه می جنگد ممکن است شکست بخورد ولی آن که نمی جنگد شکست خورده است.
جمله از کیست نمیدانم ولی به نظرم دور از واقعیت نیست. هر چند از
جنگجویی که نجنگید اما شکست خورد به شخصه خیلی خوشم میاید.
این قسمتی از شعر معروف نصرت رحمانی با نام " انهدام" است:
آغاز انهدام چنین است
اینگونه بود آغاز انقراض سلسله مردان
یاران
وقتی صدای حادثه خوابید
بر سنگ گور من بنویسید
یک جنگجو که نجنگید
اما... شکست خورد
.
راستی شما بر در دیوارمحل کارتان شعار می نویسید؟
نمی نویسم. پرینتش را می چسبانم. البته گاهی که از جمله ای خوشم بیاید. البته توی شبکه هم انانس میکنم.
