Transcript: 

Just to look at him is good enough. Before he says something, he would strike me, strike us. Maybe like Tatsuyami Roshi. For Tatsuyami Roshi, there's no need to speak English. No laugh now. And he's pretty humorous, you know, sometimes.

[01:19]

Very much humorous. And he was very good friend of us in some way. For instance, when we came back from village, After finishing memorial service for our members, three or four of our disciples, his disciples, were with him. And we are coming back. When we came to dark, you know, dark slope, you know, he told us to take off, told us to go ahead, you know.

[02:33]

As you, you, boys wearing tabi. So maybe better for you to go first. Because I have no tabi, I will follow you, he said. So we, you know, went back ahead of him. As soon as we arrived at the temple, he told us to sit in front of him. You boys sit here and listen to me. Friend, I don't wear a tablet. Why did you wear a tablet? That was his question. Moreover, you know, when I told you, you know, to go ahead, you, poor boys, went ahead of me without noticing that I have no talent.

[03:43]

How about that? You're a ghost. You're foolish, but you're very mad at us. At that time, I took him very seriously. But I think, now I think, I think apparently he was teasing at us, you know. He's playing games with us. He was enjoying, you know, our innocence. Sit here. And we four boys sit. We didn't know what will go on, you know. No one could figure out what was wrong with us.

[05:00]

He was not a tamper. One chicken died. So we decided to eat. Taking off all the feathers. But it was very difficult to cut. We burnt ten front legs. Very difficult. So, we ate only one day. The rest of the chicken, we buried. I got it.

[06:28]

Yes, mine. My customer. Found it, you know. when he was reading. That was the day before Obon festival. And after we prepared order for the beer so we had beer. That was August 13th, when we have open festival.

[07:42]

And breakfast time, he told us, I had a funny, very funny dream last night. One day, he said, One leg's head. Yeah, one leg. And said, the altar is too high. So please make it draw. And Sahim asked me. Do you have some good idea, he asked us. All of us. All my festival is the festival for all spirits.

[08:53]

The dead spirits. One dead hen came to the altar, but he couldn't climb up. The spirit of one dead hen? One-legged hen. One-legged. Because we ate. One day we buried the hen. And my master found out, unfortunately. And he didn't say anything at that time. It was the day we had Obon Festival. And after, when we had breakfast, I had a very funny dream last night. We were listening to him Come on back, Ken.

[10:24]

He said so. What? Where did the chickens come from? It's not safe. And according to one of them died. They were at the temple? Yeah. So, we ate. Because it is too difficult to cook it and cut it. So, we gave up and buried it in the garden. So what did he say when you were like this, Rishi? I don't know.

[11:25]

I don't remember any of it. We have no words. Was that all he ever said about it? Was that all he ever said about it? Yeah. Was that enough? That's enough. Do you have some idea to help him? That was what he said. We are not so alert students anyway, disciples, because we have no words for him. Yes.

[12:26]

Whenever he had something, some special thing, you know, for a guest, he would keep it in high place where we cannot reach, you know. But, you know, We know how to play this game. So, almost all the time we put it down and cut. It's a little bit common. Slice. Slice, slice, slice. And cut. And, and then looking up, it finally appears. And everywhere he will find out. So, so much, so much to read. All of them. But, but, but

[13:35]

One day, it was too high for us to reach, so our eldest disciple asked me, who is the smallest, to reach it, and he said, I will carry you on my shoulder. Then you can reach further. So he carried me on his shoulder. And it was still, we were not still high enough. So I told him, a little bit more. So he stood on his toe, you know, like this. And he lost balance.

[14:49]

He threw me out on the boiling kettle. I got big, you know, band here. Still I have some, you know, mark here. But I couldn't say anything about it. So when me time come, so I, you know, Enduring my pain, I sit in my seat and I started to eat.

[15:53]

But this was pretty terrible injury. Someone told me to use some oil on it. So by oil I Hardly, you know, decapitated. Ah, still some marks here. We did almost all the mischief as soon. Almost. But when we do it, with all of us, he didn't scold us so bad.

[16:54]

But one day, we ate some big persimmon, four or five persimmons. which he kept it until they are good enough to be in dice. And when someone ate it, But when he found out someone ate several specimens already, he asked me, who ate it? So I, actually I didn't know.

[17:57]

So, no, I don't know, I said. And he started to find out who did it. Finally, he found out two of them, two of us, had eaten. At that time, he was very angry. Not because we ate it, but because he... they didn't share the parchment. with all of us. He was very... I think he was very... pretty kind to all of us, I think. Maybe good skill for me.

[19:00]

It's 9.30. Just right.
