Profile Information
- About Me:
- It was 35 yeas ago that I encountered Professor Gisho Saiko. He was a marvellous Listener. His smile was so beautiful. I was deeply relieved by him. It was an unbelievable encounter. Later I discovered the secret. He was a living Nembutsu person who deeply understood PCA: Person-Centred Approach (C. R. Rogers). I followed him. I have been learning PCA and entranced into Shin-Buddhism teaching. Now both are connected deeply within myself inseparably. I am deeply relieved by Amida’s Vow. It is living!
Now, I teach social work at Mimasaka University which is located in Honen’s birthplace and do private practices in Kyoto.
In 2004, Dharmavidya, Prasada, Gisho Saiko and I had a great meeting at Hongwanji-temple.

Many thanks and excitement
Now I am very busy. I am doing my work. I am meeting students, clients. I’m having meaningful days. I also visit this Friends of Amida network. I meet many Dharma friends via this network, photos, videos and many words. Excitingly we have great diversity in this network. I am stimulated and inspired very much. I am so moving, thinking, feeling.
I hear Buddha (Amida)’s teaching deeper than before and refresh my Shinjin (Faith) more deeply and do Nembutsu oftener. Great Joy comes me up.

Does Amida guide my action?
Kaspa’s comment stimulates me. I am looking at myself how Amida Buddha’s wisdom is guiding me. This wisdom is directing me as Nembutsu. I think partly “yes”, but Amida Buddha’s guidance is extremely deeper and more fundamental than I am expecting. Amida Buddha’s wisdom is much bigger than our thought. In this context, I am Bon-bu, foolish person.
The part that I can say “Yes, Amida guides my action” is :
1. When I hear Amida Buddha’s teaching, I feel warm, acceptance and am fulfilled by great… Continue

I decide to start a Blog!
I decide to write a Blog. I have written a Blog in Japanese. But, it is a new challenge for me to write in English. I believe English native people accept my English and support me. I have positive feeling right now.

Kazuo Yamashita said… - Hello Shanti,
Thank you for commenting my page I'm sorry my response is so delayed. Yes I am spending my time with yes-feeling. Sometime I feel sad, angry, disappointed. Even so I have yes-feeling (sorry my foreigner special English) in myself. My special counsellor is Amida Buddha.

- Hello Caroline,
Sorry, I forgot it. The date is "29 Aug. 2001". He presented it in " 8th International Person-Centered Approach Forum in Japan. " This English version is not published. Japanese version is published already. I will put the date on it and upload on this ning's group, "Shin-shu counselling."

- Hello Kazuo
Hope you are well.
I just wondered if you had a reference for the paper of Gisho Saiko's which you gave out in your workshop. It is called A Dharma-based Person-centred Approach in Japan by Gisho Saiko , but there is not date. Was it published? Where was it presented? It would be very helpful as I'd like to quote it in my next book
All best wishes
Caroline
