This particular word apparently refers to the effort to exercise or feed or nourish the intuitive properties of the brain/mind. I tend to lean toward nourish the intuitive processing of the mind as it seems to fit the "exercises" which in my view are actually "disciplines to live by" type thing. It has a combination of the physical, i.e. thye hara and service, as well as the spiritual, i.e. the diet, brain and self-reflection - kinda mostly sorta.<br /><br />Intuition, a hunch, a sixth sense 勘 <br />order of things 第 第六感(だいろっかん) / a sixth sense, intuition<br />training intuition 訓練直感<br /><br />I also have three or four kanji/kana sites as well as two wonderful kanji/kana dictionaries. <br /><br />http://translate.google.com/#en|ja|<br /><br />http://www.saiga-jp.com/cgi-bin/dic.cgi?m=search&sc=0&f=0&j=&g=&e=&s=&rt=0&start=1&sid=1256767060_65568<br /><br />http://tangorin.com/<br /><br />http://sp.cis.iwate-u.ac.jp/icampus/k.jsp?k=shin<br /><br />and the one you provided is being added to that list :-)<br /><br />Thanks for the input ZC,Charles Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812618556413423872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22911183.post-9403228653129208692012-03-26T18:14:27.700-07:002012-03-26T18:14:27.700-07:00Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but ...Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but shuugyou (修業)is the word used for a kind of religious training. I first came across the word when I was reading about mountain ascetics. The character gyou (業) itself is usually the suffix for words that involve some kind of work. Other examples are kougyou (工業)which is concerned with industrial manners, and juugyou (授業) which means school class. The list goes on forever. Here's a good Japanese online dictionary if you don't have one you like in particular.<br />http://www.nihongodict.com/Zacky Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17174486813298415578noreply@blogger.com
