Hello all
This Book by Obata Soke is certainly a must have. The more you study it the more you will gain from it, more than just the words seem to convey the first few times around.
I have a small problem with my own understanding of a couple of things in chapter four starting page 31, which I hope Nathan sensei can help me with.
I understand the concept of the 12 precepts of the 9 planets strategem I think, but I don't seem to be able to find 9 planets around the 'shin', only eight, or is 'shin' also a planet in this pictogram? Also why are kan, ki and sei spaced outward of the others?
Also the different kanji for KAN stumped me for a while although I realise now that they are the same pronunciations for two different meanings!!??
This is not a criticism of the book in any way, but just my lack of vision and understanding.
Thanks
Fred East
