The Growth of Aikido in Indonesia

Exciting!! to see the growth of Aikido In Indonesia.
Many Dojos of Aikido spreading everywhere. In Bandung, maybe there is Dojo of Aikido at each Kecamatan, in Jakarta we can find more...

The more exciting is the varies of Aikido style which available in Indonesia. Not only One style anymore. There are YIA-Aikikai Style (with some style too), Yoshinkan Style (Shudokan Aikido), and Nishio Style.
It is exciting to see this varies of style of Aikido, I hope all Aikido practitioners have more open minded.
Recent 2 months at least two Shihans came and gave seminars and workshops. At middle of November there was Yoshinobu Takeda Shihan and at 4 December there was Hiroaki Kobayashi Shihan..
Very exciting, compared to 90's, it could be only once a year the shihan visited, and that could happened if there was a Grading-Test for Black belts.
Maybe it because Aikido in Indonesia not Centralized anymore?? So, each Dojo can invite Shihan as long they can do that. If that was happened, Thank God, The differences should not be problems in Aikido Indonesia..
It shall be the benefit to the developments and growth of Aikido In Indonesia. Not to mock each other or blaming each other or even always seek the mistakes of sensei or dojo which asummed 'different' in Aikido Style.
Well, let us support each other in the shake of Aikido Progress and Growth.
Thanks to all of Aikidoka in Indonesia and the world!!

Salt and Lake

This Story was taken from a mailing list on Feb, 06, 2003 and I still Keep it.
For me, this story is impressive, very useful in Daily Life, especially in Aikido.
This concerned with 'Acceptance ability' and 'Thanks-attitude'' and some others aspect which I plan to describe some other time later.
Have a nice reading, understanding and applying... :)

Salt and Lake

Once upon a time, there was an wise old man. At one of the morning come a young man whose in many problems.
His walking so weak with a sour face. The young man seemed to be unhappy man. He told all of his problems. The wise old man listened carefully.
He took a small portion of salt and a glass of water. He put the salt in it and stirred it slowly.
"Please drink this, and tell me how its taste," said the old man.
"salty, very salty!" said the young man and spit to the side.
The Old man smiled when he heard the answer. Then he ask the young man to go with him to the lake nearby.

There, at the side of the Lake, the old man pour a handful of salt to the lake. By a piece of wood he stirred it.
" Please, take a cup of water from this lake, and drink it.."
When the young man drink the water, He asked "How its taste?"
"Fresh!" said the young man. "Do you taste the salt in that water?" Asked the old man
"No!' said the young man.

Gently, the old man put his hand on the shoulder of the young man.
"Young man, listen, The bitter of the life is just like that salt, no more no less.
The numbers of the salt i poured in it is same, but the taste of the water was completely different, and so the bitter of this life and failures depend on the place we have.
The bitter of the life will based on our feelings that we put everything in it.
All of that will depend on our hearts.

So, when you feel some bitterness and fails in your life, there is only one thing you can do.

"Make your heart very wide to accept all of it.

Wide your heart to accept every bitterness."

He continued,
" Your heart is the place, Your feeling is the place. Your soul is the place you accept all of it."
So, don't treat your heart as a glass or cup. Make your heart as a lake which can absorb every bitter thing and change it become freshness and happiness."
