PDF: Zen Naikan. The ancient energy alchemy of the Rinzai Zen monks. Including 21 Traditional Exercises
by Zen master Leonardo Anfolsi Reiyō Ekai
Fontana Editore, 2018
Zen Naikan is an alchemical spiritual practice cultivating inner energy for harmonious well being, healing and realisation. It integrates the principles of yoga with the essence of Qigong This talk covers how the practice of Zen Naikan developed over the history of Zen Rinzai school Buddhism from Bodhidharma and its Taoist origins until the 18th century when it was formalised by the great Zen Master Hakuin. Leonardo Anfolsi Reiyo Ekai is a Zen abbot and naturopath from Bologna, Italy. He entered monastic life at age 18 at Zenshinji, the first Rinzai Zen temple in Italy, which was founded by Master Yamada Mumon Roshi, who was one of the premier Rinzai Zen Masters of Twentieth-Century Japan. A healer and counselor, Anfolsi leads meditation sessions and retreats in which he teaches Zen energy practices. He has published many works on spirituality and alchemy, of which Zen Naikan represents both the culmination and the synthesis of these two seemingly unrelated fields. Leonardo also shows practically the great power of Zen Naikan by performing a healing on two members of the audience.

白隠慧鶴 Hakuin Ekaku (1686-1769) & 内觀 Naikan
Naikan. Although this term has a variety of teclmical meanings, particularly
in Tendai Buddhism, Hakuin appears to use it strictly in terms of contemplation
or introspection involving therapeutic benefits. Nevertheless, on occasion the
term seems to reflect the practice of meditation in the midst of the activities
of daily life, a practice that Hakuin strongly advocated.
(Philip B. Yampolsky)What Hakuin received from the hermit was an explanation of a technique called “inner contemplation” (J. naikan 内觀). This is an old term that can refer to a variety of different forms of meditation, but the hermit, or, shall I say, Hakuin, used this term to refer to the old practice of calming the mind by having it focus on something called the “cinnabar field” (J. tanden 丹田). As an expedient way of bringing the mind down to the cinnabar field, which is believed to be located near the abdomen, Hakuin recommends in his Idle Talk on a Night Boat and elsewhere something he calls the “soft butter pill” (J. nansogan 輭酥丸) method. Essentially, what this method entails is the practitioner imagining a ball of warm butter melting and flowing down from the top of the head into the vital organs and finally the lower parts of the body.

Oradegama #1 『遠羅天釜』巻之上「鍋島接州殿下ノ近侍ニ答ウル書」 (Oradegama, part 1: Letter in reply to Lord Nabeshima, daimyō of Settsu Provine, sent in care of a close retainer)The title of this work is generally read orategama, but oradegama is correct. The meaning of the word is unknown. This work is, along with the Yasen kanna, the most popular and widely read of Hakuin's kana hōgo works. The overall text is composed of the following four sections.
Oradegama, part 1 consists of a sermon addressed to Nabeshima Naotsune (1702-1749), the fourth daimyō of the Hizen Hasunoike han, in which Hakuin discusses in practical terms the health-promoting naikan practices and stresses the importance of maintaining the meditative mind not only during seated meditation (zazen) but also during the everyday activities of life. Through the maintenance of mindfulness during action, known as dōchū no kufū 動中の工夫, lay practices carrying out their social responsibilities in secular life can attain as deeply in Zen as ordained home-leavers, Hakuin teaches. With regard to the naikan practices, a deeper understanding can be attained if the present text is read in conjunction with the Yasen kanna.

Yasen kanna 『夜船閑話』 (Quiet conversations on an evening boat)The Yasen kanna, the best known of all Hakuin’s kana hōgo writings, describes the “Zen sickness” that Hakuin experienced following his initial enlightenments, his visit to the cave of the hermit Hakuyū Sennin deep in the mountains of Kita Shirakawa northeast of Kyoto, and his reception from Hakuyū of the special methods of meditation through which he overcame his illness.
Hakuin’s Zen illness appears to have been a type of chronic, serious pulmonary condition, probably psychosomatic in origin, for which Hakuyu prescibed the contemplative techniques referred to by the hermit as the naikannohō 内観法 (method of introspection) and the nansonohō 軟酥法 (“soft ghee” method). Through assiduous application of these practices Hakuin was fully restored to health. He wrote the Yasen kanna, describing his experiences in narrative form, for the sake of those suffering from similar conditions. It was the most widely read of all Hakin’s kana hōgo works during the Tokugawa period, and remains the most popular of his writings even today. Many reports exist of cures effected through the practice of these techniques.
Despite its popularity, the Yasen kanna cannot be regarded as one of Hakuin’s representative works. In content it is limited to health-promoting techniques, and touches on none of the themes of his religious thought. Its popularity, and the fact that it is the title most often mentioned in association with Hakuin, has in fact had the unfortunate effect of hindering a broader study of Hakuin’s thought.
