Richard Gere Talks with Daniel Goleman and Richard Davidson who co-wrote "Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain, and Body". The talk is in part about the content of the best-selling book, but it is also enriched by the personal experience of the Hollywood star. At 92Y event, October 2017.
Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain, and Body (英語) ペーパーバック – 2017/9/5
In the last twenty years, meditation and mindfulness have gone from being kind of cool to becoming an omnipresent Band-Aid for fixing everything from your weight to your relationship to your achievement level. Unveiling here the kind of cutting-edge research that has made them giants in their fields, Daniel Goleman and Richard Davidson show us the truth about what meditation can really do for us, as well as exactly how to get the most out of it.
Daniel Goleman (著), Richard J. Davidson (著)
津田 講義とセミナーを週に一回ずつやりました。講義は[Early Buddhist Thought and its Tantric Evolution]（ゴータマ・ブッ ダの思想とその密教的展開）というタイトルで、私がこの数年来考えている＜開放系＞（これは依然として仮称なのですが） という考え方から密教思想史について話をしました。密教思想史とはいいましても、ゴータマ・ブッダ（釈尊）に始まって、大 乗、純粋密教を経てタントラ仏教にいたり、さらに日本の空海から覚ばんを経て法然、親鸞にいたろうという、一種の通仏教 的な思想の流れを追おうというものです。
セミナーのほうは『華厳経』を取り上げました。「入法界品」、ガンダヴューハ・スートラですね、そのサンスクリット原典を購 読するのですが、サンスクリットを英語に訳すだけならわりに簡単なんですね。しかし、内容を理解させようとするとどうしても 中国・日本の華厳教学に触れなくてはなりませんので、そういう伝統的な術語表現を英語でどう表現したらいいのか、だい ぶ苦労しました。たとえば、お大師さん（弘法大師空海）の「普賢法界の重重帝網なる即身と名づく」とか、そういう理解です ね。そのスカッとしたところを英語的にどう表現するのか。くどくど説明することならどうにか可能なのですが・・・・・・。
In this study, Sheila A. Smith has availed herself of a massive number of documents and interview surveys and has traced concisely and persuasively the course whereby Japan has been compelled toward the reform of its conservative political system and its security arrangements, which were established with a view to maintaining Japan's position as a leader in Asia. This work suggests that the Japanese experience with China might serve as a lesson for other countries, the United States included, and is an essential read for those interested in the reconstitution of the East Asian order in light of the rise of China.--Ryosei Kokubun, president, National Defense Academy of Japan

Japan's Secret War: Japan's Race Against Time to Build Its Own Atomic Bomb (英語) ペーパーバック – 1995/8/1
Wilcox (著), F A Wilcox (著), Clyde Wilcox (著)
After years of research based on material gathered by American intelligence during the occupation of Japan as well as extensive interviews with surviving participants, Robert Wilcox gives the first detailed account of Japan's version of the Manhattan Project - from its earliest days to the possible testing of an actual weapon. The story involves Japan's leading scientists, including a future Nobel prize winner; a network of Spanish spies working in North America; and a German U-boat desperately trying to reach Japan with a cargo of uranium in the final days before the Third Reich's collapse. But perhaps the most fascinating element is the giant industrial complex in northern Korea where the final aspects of the Japanese atomic research may have taken place. When the Soviet army invaded Korea at the war's end, they had the entire complex dismantled and shipped back to the Soviet Union. We can only speculate about the information they gained from it. This new edition includes recently unearthed research showing that the Japanese spent much more time on their atomic program than previously made public.

Fifteen years ago I heard that at the end of WW II, the US Navy destroyed 5 cyclotrons in Tokyo by throwing them into the ocean in spite of the protests of a scientist named Nishina. To this day, no one knows who authorized their destruction. I even found a photo on Google of one cyclotron toppling over the edge of a ship in Tokyo Harbor. The story fascinated me because four of my uncles served in the military in the Pacific during the war, also because my dad was a machinist-welder who worked on the Manhattan Project in Hanford, Washington and then on the reconstruction of Pearl Harbor itself. However, on-line searches, the only resource available to me at the time, only produced tantalizing bits of information and photos, e.g. photo of Neils Bohr in Japan in the 1920's with Japanese physicists.
But Robert K. Wilcox has, once more, produced an amazing book that reflects his dogged determination to get to the bottom of an unusual story and write a fascinating book about it. Filing hundreds of FOIA requests, sending letters everywhere he thought he might find information, and interviewing as many people as he could, produced the information that he skilfully put together in this text that reads like a mystery novel.
One of the most surprising parts of the story is the role of Germany in this Japanese project, and the use of their submarines to transport not only uranium, but also samples of novel German armaments, planes, drawings and blue prints. The Tripartite Agreement entered into in the 1930's by Japan, Germany and Italy formed the basis for this sharing of information and materials. It turns out that Japan had a long history of physics research. Einstein even visited Japan in the 1920's.

今日は、『マルクス・エンゲルス』という映画を、私は、２月に、試写会で見ましたので、それに対する映画評論を話します。The Young Karl Marx が原題ですから、「若き日のカール・マルクス」という映画です。日本語のタイトルは「マルクス・エンゲルス」になっています。
