What Ohsawa Did With His Sense of the Infinite
you may remember the story - how ohsawa was terribly sick with tuberculosis, how the half-trained (western-style) doctors in japan sent him home to die (out-of-sight-out-of-mind), how he bumped into ishizuka's book "by accident" in a 25cent book bin, and how he "used" the prescriptions there to cure himself . . .
in the far east - indeed, in primitive cultures in general! - a person recognizes in such events that the infinite has taken a definite material step into his/her life by the personal presentation of a form of grace. ohsawa - a japanese teenager - was no different. he saw his introduction to ishizuka exactly that way. i mean: how else would he explain it?
then, what did ohsawa do with his sense of the infinite?
