    Nishijima Roshi sitting

    Nosing around on youtube I found this vid. It’s part of a series. This one is so cool. Watch how the old master Nishijima sits in his plain clothes ( and a kesa) takes a peek at his watch and starts his sitting ever so naturally. It is so inspiring because he goes “home” so quickly and so unassuming. A perfect picture of “Just sit.” Someone probably posted this before I’m sure. Just curious. What do you guys see and or notice when watching this? Any comments?

    Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

    I notice the lovely smile at the beginning.

    Thank you for sharing, Enkyo. That video must have been recorded shortly before he became ill.

        Sweet ... in a hard as nails, samurai sort of way. He is one tough old bird too.
