I'm sitting at my dining table, needle and thread in hand, working on sewing my very first rakusu-something I never imagined I would do. Years ago, when I first delved into Zen Buddhism, the idea of receiving a rakusu felt distant, like a tradition meant for others, not for me. The only garment I had received was a wagesa, a simple black band I tucked away in my sock drawer, mingling with personal treasures.
As I began to create my rakusu, I felt a mix of guilt and realization. The sacred and mundane were beautifully intertwined in my drawer, reflecting the essence of Zen. The story of Shakyamuni Buddha resonated with me-the moment he renounced his princely life for a simple monk's robe. This act symbolized profound transformation, a theme echoed in my own journey as I stitched my rakusu together.
With each stitch, I reflected on the patched nature of the rakusu, a reminder of life's fragments coming together in harmony. Initially overwhelmed by old associations with black fabric, I called my teacher, who encouraged me to choose a color that felt right. I opted for grey, embracing the tradition while honoring my own feelings.
As I sewed, I found solace in the act itself, a meditation on the meaning of form and formlessness. This rakusu became more than just fabric; it was a living inquiry into how I embody these teachings. I invite you to watch my video and join me on this transformative journey.
