世界は右傾化しております。日本でも異なる政治体制、思想を持つ中国を敵視する政権が誕生しました。天真正伝香取神道流には、争いが日常であった時代を生きた流祖飯篠長威斎家直公からの教えがあります。
１．”熊笹の対座の教え”により、己の強みを活かし知恵をもって争いを避けることの大切さを説いております。
２．”敵に勝つ者を上とし、敵を討つ者は之に次ぐ”とし、対話により平和を勝ち得た者を上とし、武力により平定した者より高く評価すると説いております。
３．”敵意は新たな敵意を生み鎮まることなし。敵意なしによってのみ鎮まる”とし、異なる立場、思想、文化、習慣を持った者への敵意を戒め、何があろうとも耐えて、耐えて、耐えて、平和のために敵意を抑えることの大切さを説いております。
家直公が生きた６５０年前より科学技術の進歩は目覚ましいものがあります。しかし、人間の内心、心は６５０年前から進化しておりません。未だに、人間は憎しみあい、敵意を持ち、争いが絶えることがありません。武器だけが進化し、それを使いこなす人間の心の進歩がついてゆけません。これは恐ろしいことです。
The world is shifting to the right. Even in Japan, a new government has emerged that views China, which has a different political system and ideology, as an enemy. Tenshinshoden Katori Shinto-ryu has important teachings from its founder, Iizasa Choisai Ienaoki who lived battle era.
1. The teaching of the Kumazasa Taiza teaches us the importance of utilizing our own strengths and avoiding conflict with wisdom.
2. It states that one who overcomes the enemy is considered superior, and one who strikes the enemy is next. One who wins peace through dialogue is considered superior and is more highly esteemed than one who pacifies through force.
3. It states that hostility will only give birth to new hostility and will never subside; it can only be subsided by the absence of hostility, and warns against hostility towards those with different positions, ideas, cultures, and customs, and stresses the importance of enduring, enduring, and enduring, no matter what, for the sake of peace, and suppressing hostility.
Science and technology have made remarkable progress since Lord Ienao lived 650 years ago. However, the innermost thoughts and hearts of humans have not evolved in that time, and conflicts continue among people who still harbor hatred and hostility. Only weapons have evolved tremendously, but the human hearts that wield them have not. This is frightening.
