poem to the Cold Mountain

are too many intellectuals in the world

They have studied extensively and know everything

But they know their own true nature not

walk away and, so far from the path

How thoroughly this also explain the reality

What good are they all the empty formulas, then?

If you remember a single time your self-being,

then going on to you the insight to a Buddha.

Hanshan "Poem on the Cold Mountain", from "Zen" by Stephan Schuhmacher

wind, forest, fire, mountain 风 林 火山 (furinkazan) was the motto of Takeda Shingen.Takeda was a daimyo in the wartime Japanese history. He was also known as Tiger Kai.Er had a legendary rivalry with Uesugi Kenshin - The Dragon of Echigo - and fought him five times in battle, and once in a duel (Takeda used a Tessen - a Eisenfaecher - against Uesugi's sword). Takeda Shingen is still very much admired and is very popular in Japan (actually both). You can still go to the onsen - hot springs - where he went to after the fighting to recover - the minerals the water contains the sword to help wounds heal faster.

His motto, which was on its flag was, like the wind, silent as the forest, fierce as fire and immovable as the mountain ( to move as fast as the wind, be as quiet as the forest attack as fierce as the fire, and to defend as immovable as the mountain).

the original sentence came from the Art of War by Sun Tzu. These were the principles of Takeda Shingen's strategy - long-range planning - and his principles of tactics - how to fight in a battle.

These four concepts have parallels to the Elementen.Im Budismus these elements are earth, water, fire and air. Surprisingly, these four elements (ether added) the same as the elements in the classical Greek (and the same four elements were connected to the four moods or personality types: melancholic, phlegmatic, choleric and lively).

Japanese culture historically used the same four elements, earth, water, fire and air, and similarly concluded a finer element - or missing element: a void or emptiness.

We use the idea of nothingness and emptiness in Budo in advanced concepts such as mushin or mushin no shin, the spirit without spirit municipalities, no thoughts, muso, no reflection, and mugamae a free attitude, or not-quite different attitude of a formal position. So freedom is important - our minds should never be fixed or adhesive.

In Takeda Shingen's sentence immovable as the mountain is an echo of fudoshin - immovable spirit or quiet Decision. There is no contradiction with the mushin. The Zen monk Takuan discussed these concepts in his letter to the sword master Yagyu Tajima no kami (Yagyu Munenori) on Zen and swordsmanship (The Unfettered Mind by Takuan Soho). The spirit
be concentrated and liquid must be free but at the same time always. Besides Takuan speaks in another letter about Zen and tea (cha-no-yu), also on the five Chinese elements (wu xing): fire, earth, metal, water, wood and live in harmony with nature (mountains, rivers , stones and trees).

Still as the forest may not be as important for Budo. And as for the wild fire in a lyrical and basic mood, here is a poet of the twentieth Overview Century by two elements at the end of the world:

Fire and Ice Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice

From what I have tasted as desired

I hold with those who prefer the fire

But if she had to perish twice

I think I know enough of hate To say

for destruction ice

It is also great And would suffice

.

finally wrote many poems samurai death and the death poem of Uesugi Kenshin is very impressive and cool:

"四 十 九 年 一睡 の 夢 一 期 の 栄華 一 盃 の 酒" yonjukyu NEN issui no yume ichigo no eiga Ippai no saké

forty-nine years - dream of a night

a life of fame - a glass of sake

And finally, what has this got to do with budo? Simple. We always go back to Takeda Shingen's first principle: As the wind
