This is a very simple form of an IPPITSU Daruma, I think.

"Life, the circle,
a measurement with no beginning and no end."

-- Phillip Deere, MUSKOGEE-CREEK

The circle teaches us how the Creator made things and how to live.
It teaches us how we should look at creation.
Life travels in a circle.
In the East is the baby,
to the South is the youth,
in the West is the adult and
in the North is the Elder.
Then we return to the Earth Mother to start the cycle again.
We observe what is `around us' from the center of the circle.
This develops our point of view.
We must be careful not to become self-centered.

The Three Vinegar Tasters

[ . BACK to Daruma TOP . ]
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

A friend has asked about the motive of three old man standing around a pot.
Well, that looks suspiciously like
the Three Vinegar Tasters.

http://www.3dcom.com/couples/vinegar1.html

Read this quote:
Vanessa Kaye

We frequently hear and read about religion and transgenderism. These conversations are exclusively centered around how to interpret Christian teachings and tenets in such a way as to justify our rightto be who we are.I find it odd that a relatively new, predominantly Western, minority religion is used as the spectacles through which to view a universal and timeless phenomenon.

Among the Five World Religions are Taoism,Confucianism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. There is value in all good books and in all good teachings. Without a doubt, when we are dealing with such an issue as transgenderism, which is certainly not only a Western issue, we should expand our scope. Let me talk to you about an ancient Chinese painting.

Roughly translated, it is entitled, The Vinegar Tasters. In this painting, composed long ago, we see three men standing around a vat of vinegar. Each has dipped his finger into the vinegar and tasted of it. The expression on each man's face shows his individual reaction. The painting is intended to be allegorical and each of the three men represent one of the Three Teachings of China. The vinegar they are tasting represents the Essence of Life. The three men represented are: K'ung Fu-tse (Confucius), Buddha, and Lao-tse (author of the oldest book of Taoism). For the purposes of this story we shall call them Confucius, Buddha and Lao-Tse.

The first man has a sour look on his face, the second wears a bitter expression, but the third man is smiling. Why the difference?

To Confucius, life seemed rather sour. He believed that the present was out of step with the past and that the world would be a much better place if there were strict rules. Confucius emphasized astrict order which ruled the affairs of all in his land. Anything that did not fit into the established order, was bad and not worthy.

To Buddha, the second figure in our painting, life on earth was bitter. This world, according to Buddha, was filled with attachments and desires that led to suffering. The world was seen as a setter of traps, a generator of illusions and a revolving wheel of endless pain. In order to find peace, Buddha maintained that it was necessary to transcend this world. The Buddhist sees the path to happiness constantly being interrupted by the bitterness of this world.

Now we come to the third man in our painting, Lao-tse. According toLao-tse, the world was governed by the laws of nature, not by those of men. He maintained that the more man interfered with the natural balance of things, the more out of balance the world became. As things became unbalanced, trouble followed.

So why is Lao-tse smiling? We all know what vinegar taste like. And, if the vat of vinegar represents the essence of life, should he not also have the bitter expression on his face as the other two? From the Taoist point of view, sourness and bitterness come from the interfering and unappreciative mind. Life itself, when understood and utilized for what it is, is sweet. That is the message of The VinegarTasters.

How does all of this relate to transgendered behavior? Let us look at ourselves through the eyes of the three men in the painting and weshall see.

Confucius, set rigid standards of behavior. This is much the same as with Christianity. To step outside of these guidelines, is the determining factor for what is right and wrong, what is good and bad. Under this type of system the individual is not allowed to explore and "shame" as well as guilt are often the tools used to keep people in line. It is no secret that any type of transgendered behavior falls outside of these guidelines. As a result, many of our sisters feel tremendous guilt immediately following the joyous exploration of their alternate gender roles. This leaves them with a sour taste in their mouths that is always associated with their feelings and need for self expression.

Through the Buddhist´s eyes, while there exist no clear black-and-white definition or right and wrong, the key is desire. Buddha emphasized that desire causes suffering. He explained that when one strives to become or achieve something, failure results in sadness and misery. If, on the other hand, one had no desire, there would be no suffering.

Now, let´s look through the eyes of Lao-tse. To the Taoist, the femme nature within us is much like a reservoir of water waiting to be released. The water will flow eventually and cannot be stopped. In time, cracks or leaks will develop, and the water will flow. Trying to impede the natural tendency of the water to flow its course results in disaster. To Lao-tse, only by working within the laws that govern the flow of water will happiness be achieved.

Daruma and Japanese Culture

Taking a walk through Japanese Culture
with Daruma san as our guide.

The AMIE server has taken care of these Daruma files for a long time, but has closed down at the end of 2009.
I have now recovered all the files and add the new LINKS to my BLOG.

Thank you, Amie and Kyobashi san!

www.amie.or.jp/daruma/daruma-new1.html

On these pages, I will present you information about Daruma san in English. I will try to give you an overview of various topics related to Daruma san. So you can get an understanding of how Daruma san even now influences Japanese art and the lives of Japanese people on an everyday level and learn about folk art, ceramics, festivals and other things as you read along. I am your guide, Gabi Greve, born in Germany, a long-time collector of Daruma artefacts, long-time resident of Japan since 1977 and long-time student of Buddhist art.
Contact me in English, German or Japanese:
