a few of my own little favorites sekiro headcanons i've made throughout these years playing:

- dogen gave the "orangutan" nickname to sekijo and emma kept calling him this way her whole life

- gyoubu gifted genichiro a horse in one of his birthday, alas horse riding wasn't his favorite hobby

- besides being a doctor, emma also treats animals and they are somewhat easier to treat than humans

- wolf likes to fish and i won't elaborate

- emma has burns across her body caused by sekijo when he lost control, after that, dogen took her

- wolf also gets affected by the dragonrot but in a different way: white marks, like the one he has in his face, start to appear across his body, once the dragonrot is healed, they are gone - the "ashina herb catalogue" belonged to dogen, he was the one who started cataloguing flowers and herbs, eventually he gave it to emma so she could keep with his work - emma is good at drawings (which helps with the compendium), she'd draw genichiro for he anatomy studies, she's also really good with numbers - wolf scares horses and cats, they all be hissing and huffling at him, but he is good with animals, he used to chase stray cats to learn stealth when he was a kid - wolf's scarf came from his mother, but he can't remember that, the smell of it was familiar in the beginning but it disappeared while he grew - kuro writes poems and is really good at it, he wrote for wolf once but got ashamed to show him, he also loves astronomy and looking at the stars - lady butterfly taught wolf how to read

Be very clear about this: A fool sees himself as another, but a wise man sees others as himself. As an ancient teacher has said: Two-thirds of our days are already over, And we have not practiced clarifying who we are. We waste our days in chasing satisfaction, So that even when called, we refuse to turn around. How regrettable.

— Dōgen, from How to Cook Your Life: From the Zen Kitchen to Enlightenment by Kōshō Uchiyama (Shambhala, November 8, 2005)(via The Hammock Papers)

"What would it be like to be truly content with what we have? You can understand that in regard to material things, of course, but I also mean it in regard to our life in total. What would it be like to walk down the street like that? Not imagining where you’re going or where you’re coming from but being content with whatever the street, the world, has to offer at exactly that moment in time.

Dogen said it would be like this: 'The mind and the externals are just thus. The gate of liberation is open.' What? Let me explain.

At the Zen center we have a few beautiful tea bowls made by a Japanese potter, all of which are chipped now, because people wash them and stack them in the metal rack, and they’re very fragile. When I talk to our community members about not putting them in the rack, they say, 'They’re too delicate to use. Why do we even have them?' Suzuki Roshi had the same problem with the teacups in his own Zen center. (It must be a Zen center epidemic.) A student complained to Suzuki about the cups. He smiled and said, 'You just don’t know how to handle them. You have to adjust yourself to the environment, not vice versa.'

This is what Dogen was saying, too. The gate of liberation is always open. Liberation from what? Liberation from walking around in a dream, like a zombie looking for contentment outside your immediate and precious life. If only you could actually recognize and receive what is here in front of you, rather than what you wish were here instead. Why is that so hard? I don’t know, but I do know that I certainly have a tendency to want to adjust my environment to myself, not the other way around. Instead, is it possible for us to constantly give thanks for whatever our life gives us? This is how to practice being truly content with what we have — even when it seems impossible.

One of my heroes of practicing this radical contentment is the 18th-century haiku master Issa, who is a beloved poet in Japan. He has a haiku that goes 'Everything I touch / with tenderness, alas, / pricks like a bramble.' Essentially, 'Everything I touch turns to shit.' He had his reasons for saying so. His mother died when he was 3, and he was raised in part by a loving grandmother, who died when he was 14. He was sent away from his home by his father and stepmother, not returning until he was 49. He then met his wife, Kiku. Their first child died in birth. Their second died as a toddler. Then a third child died, and finally, Kiku herself died. It was after their second child’s death that Issa wrote probably his most famous poem: 'This world— / Is a dewdrop world, / And yet, and yet . . .'

Issa was so interested in that 'and yet.' In a body of work inspired by incredible suffering and melancholy, there is also that incredible sweetness of the 'and yet,' which pervades his writing. It’s a sweetness that coexists with sorrow, and it reminds us that sweetness is always available to us, if we’re willing to fully enter our life, just as it is."

- Koshin Paley Ellison, from "Being Content with What We Have." Tricycle, June 2019.

Zen (2009)

"We must create paradise here on Earth. But if this is paradise, why must people fight and suffer from illness, unable to escape the pain of death?"

The life of Zen Master, Dōgen. He went to China to attain enlightenment and returned to Japan during Kamakura Period, and introduced Zen to Japan in the form of the Sōtō school.

His teachings of new Zen Buddhism sparks outrage among existing Buddhist sect while attracting a few who wants to be free of pain and suffering, like a prostitute and a weathered Samurai.
