Zen approach improved my life 🙂

I am also a Japanese proud to be a Japanese ✌🏻

دوست ژاپنی من در کشور من ایران مکتب ذن ژاپن علاقمندان بسیاری دارد . اما کتابهای ترجمه شده کمی به زبان فارسی موجود است .

Do you know actually zen meditation is originated from india , "zen" is actually "dhyan" word from sanskrit language , when bodhpatra and bodhidharma accepted proposal of chinese people to help them and stay in china they gave them the dhyan meditation form , as chinese couldnt pronounce as dhyan , they called it as chan , which later got spreaded to japan and japanese pronounced it as zen .

You are aware that Buddhists don't seek to be reborn in a different life form, yet seek to vanish into nirvana/nothing after their death, aren't you?

@@Abcd-mq4yn whatever is it but it's good that ye converted to Buddhism

@@marshmellow1162 dont get illusioned in religions, i depicted the origin only, see beyond that mate.

If you think it's about living the next life and living it better, you've missed the point.

Yes man , now a days the european agenda is to adapt yoga as theirs and to make boundaries of everything which is in origin with india .( everything is originated from india)

@@Abcd-mq4yn Yes, we as Indian netizens should spread awareness at these things

@@seneca5556 yes man , everything fake is presented about our history , to develop our earth we need to grab vedic roots again

Actually zen is originated from india , dhyan meditation is called as chan in china and zen in japan

I agree. The narrator is the actor Peter Coyote.

Yes. He also narrates Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind.

Thomas Roberts no. releases tension in back muscles.

@ Hi, I'm 24 and currently reading "Zen mind, beginner's mind". It's actually my first book on zen (after I've read a book by Thick Nhat Hahn that concerned rather on Silence itself). Roshi Suzuki appears very well respected among zen buddhists, I've heard even Steve Jobs had the opportunity to practice with him. Since you remember Shunryu Suzuki personally, how was he? Can you describe his personality?

How can the bat person know that the person isn’t concentrating?

@ Gassho!

U have to do all this to see the Buddha mind which is coverd by the veil of ignorance , once the veil is lifted we will see the Buddha mind.

@@vikramsinghrana7134 I know that's why I said I wish they "knew" it. They don't know it yet but they will understand my sentence when they find that there was no Buddha other than themselves😊🤗🙏

@@ozgursenturk11-11 they have learned the eptiome of philosophy, and knew everything they have dedicated their life for that and are practicing regularly on the hand we have learned something from here and their , and are questioning them, I don't think they don't know it , they must be knowing 100times of what we know . We should look forward to them rather then questing their faith , on the other hand the Buddha philosophy that their is no god and atma I think is completely different from Hinduism , which they will know that Hinduism was always right about Atman and brahman existence which they discard , their are different paths"" 112 "" from thousands of year they are successful so I think their path may be also one of the right path.

@@vikramsinghrana7134 see, you are saying that they already know 112 different paths that's right. I believe they know everything about enlightenment. but you are still missing the point! What I'm saying is " There is no path" to enlightenment because they're already enlightened🤗 If you know that you are already enlightened would leave your family and everything else behind and go to zen monastery and stay there 40 years to "get" enlightened? No! Why? Because you are already enlightened and you are the Buddha that you have been seeking. Why? Because everything has a Buddha nature and everything is the budha nature... the mind is seeking the Buddha is the Buddha mind himself🤗😊🙏

@@ozgursenturk11-11 oh bro u are still not getting by thinking that I am enlightenment one doesn't get first we have to remove the ignorance ,Maya and many more things than only we will be able to see the Buddha mind to see that or as to say to reverse learn what we have learn take 40 years ,and to burn karma ,only then we can see the Buddha mind which was always their in us and everything . Suppose if I think I am enlightenment does I become one No, it take efforts , u should pls refer the best book ZENYOGA .pllsssssss read it.

Don't hesitate to listen to Alan Watts audios about Zen Buddhism (and everything else of course).

Yeah all Buddhism came from the valleys we now call india but it was very different back then

Yes but you know zen meditation or any meditation mentioned in Vedas Hindu text no this country no this country spirituality comes from bharat sanatan dharma the root of spirituality and spiritual practices is sanatan dharma and bharat

Good job bro

Could you explain more , please ?

Passion actually translates etymologically to mean suffering. Com means with... compassion actually means to suffer with. Simply being nice and empathetic does not make a person compassionate

Good to hear. I'm glad you're not sadistic.

Mayyim Ruach Hayyim What's your aversion to sticks? Stop turning away from things.

I used to be a buddhist (zen) and today i'm a christian , and there is some parallels between the two in its view of human nature . I'd like to shortly share with you what the core message of the bible is and its natural to start with a verse that is called John 3,16 which says : "For so did God love the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life . " So why did God have to "give His Son" ?? It's because God created humans to be a reflection of himself and His nature which is perfect love and compassion but instead in our free will we fell from God in disobediance and our nature actually altered into what we are today and as you buddhists know we do not do all of our actions with a intention out of perfect uncoditional love , which is Gods nature , no instead we often have a egocentric intention and in the beginning of the bible were it describes mans fall into sin it says : "And God saw that mans INTENTION were evil all day long and it grieved God that He had created man" So because God is a holy and just/good God He could not be around man anymore once we became inpure and because of that He withdrew Himself from us , but even if God hates sin He loves all humans unconditionally so that is why He sent Jesus , to do what we couldn't do and that is to live our lives fully according to Gods will from cradle to grave in unconditional love compassion and kindness , Jesus did this and this is actually visible when Jesus dies on the cross when he prays for His murderers He says : Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing . Bible says that God laid all the worlds sin on Jesus, so by faith in Jesus we can receive forgiveness for our sin and be saved , saved from what ? The consequences of our sin which is that we are enemies of God because of our sinful actions and ultimatly it a day will come were God will judge all sinners in the afterlife , just like society judges criminals because they do things that is deemed unacceptable / evil . Last quote from the Bible is : Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life

@@a11an72 Christ also said I and My Father are One. the BIBLE is a religious Roman literary writing- a sort of parable about the laws of man: old coven-ant (law) < new coven-ant (law). God is All including the fallen man, the risen man, the god-man, and the devil. Also, God is not holy- God is Wholly.... I and my Father are One and anointed with the "holy spirit" that all souls/soles on the universal earth receive in the commercial seas of all democratic republics (their number), the three become the Whole, united in oneness, and that is how Christ calmed the stormy sea and walked on water.

Why? how is anything or one helped by this?

@@peterparker5118 Stilling the mind is said to be the hardest thing in the world to achieve. Perhaps proper seeing of reality occurs by doing so but I am only an outsider looking in.

@@chrisruss9861 Doing something difficult doesn't make you outstanding. I get annoyed at this monk stuff because it just seems stupid (long term) to me. I think that taking time to calm and focus and meditate is great as a bit of the time thing but dumb if you do it all the time. BUUT I acknowledge that I don't really know much about this stuff at all so...

@@peterparker5118 I read the books of an author named Zuzuki years ago, explaining zen practice and its varied paths. The sudden shock of 'enlightenment' for those who receive the gift gives people a firm footing from which they cannot be shaken. It is not necessarily achieved only from traditional zen practice. I live a life burdened by faults but am happy for those who wish to shed the unsatisfactory aspects of existence.

@@chrisruss9861 If anything I've heard is true they shed the satisfactory aspects as well.

Thanks lol

Some call it "Ch'an". Some call it "Dhyana".

Zen meditation is dhyan meditation bro , teached by ancient indian gurus to others , bodhpatra , bodhidharma were from india and they came to china when chinese people invited them for helping them , they gave the dhyan meditation to chinese and chinese people couldnt pronounce dhyan so they called it chan and when the word chan spreaded towards japan they called it as zen . everything in the world have vedic roots , om namah shivaya 🔱🕉🙏🏻

Me too

Boom, ur enlightened

Mr. Grosbeak, it is even more weird then you think. The universe exist within the timeless continuum, thus Karma and Rebirth do not exist in a linear fashion, but each in its "Ever Present Moment Now" in timelessness. Karma exist through that timeless continuum, so what you do now everyday in this life, may positively or negatively affect a life you are living in another existence. We are much more than what we believe we are. Religion has always screwed this up, because most do not understand that our universe is timeless. They cannot fathom the depth of our involvement in all of it. Einstein knew this !

this is to Rumpel Stiltskin, you made a reply to my comment but evidently you deleted it. I still have the whole thing in my social mail KZfaq. so I've read your reply several times. I found it to be thoughtful, something I had no idea of before. it actually was a game changer for me on how I think about that subject matter. so thank you very much for your reply. I don't know why you deleted it. maybe you were foreseeing some kind of negative response on my party. be that as it may, thank you.

grosbeak His message is still there; I see it. I think one of the keys Zen tries to do is decondition the mind in all of its confusions. Consider for a moment most of our suffering is entirely in the domain of thought: it's not what happens that makes us suffer, but what we think about it. To consider an example, traffic: is it itself an issue? Not until it's thought about and compared to an image we call "ideal". And so long as what we think in ideals is never what's actually going on, we struggle with the goings on for our thoughts on what should be or ought to be. It absolutely is head games, but it's a head game to come out of your mind and return to your senses, to not be lost in thought, but to be aware of the present happenings going on, which you as an organism are flowing in. It also deals with that illusory ego, self, or soul with free will that we think we have, that is the real "I" as we normally perceive, only to see it for a pure fiction that has no reality. Knocking that away gets rid of the major psychological obstacle to living a life more engaged with the goings on than being lost in thought and attached to images over reality.

What is "it" that asks and remembers? ^^

@@grosbeak6130 in Zen there is no beliefs about anything even reincarnation. It is to escape the mind essentially that is how you reach peace. Beliefs in reincarnation can cause suffering as they are pseudoscience

Mayyim Ruach Hayyim probably not

As soon as you think to yourself "I GOT IT" You immediately lose it.

When you suddenly see "the light" make sure you're not "sitting" in a railway "tunnel". ^^

Alternate one or the other each time you sit. Of course there is no requirement to sit full lotus - be careful, don't hurt yourself. Half-lotus or burmese are also good positions.(:

Truth has no copyrights. ^^

Zen is actually derived from word dhyan , indian practices are best , try it mate i am very happy i shifted to india

Waisea vunilogologo what's wrong with you

Waisea vunilogologo to racist Japanese people

No joke

It is to help the sitter to aid them if they are feeling tired or sleepy. Usually done starting on the third day of a 5 or 7 day sesshin retreat, when the tiredness sets in. Though, at the California temple I attended, you had to specifically request it by doing a gassho. It really helps to return to the body from the wandering dreaming mind. Too bad this tradition is now becoming taboo, I thought it was a very deep practice, and intense emotions would wash through all the sitters when one sitter was receiving the kyosaku, and would help to remember that sesshin is a group effort. Though this kyosaku whacking is pretty intense compared to the gentle whacks I received.

no one cares what some Buddha did. It does not change our lives at all. If you see the Buddha kill the Buddha. Modern Buddhism is completely corrupt - apart from Zen.

Harnas31 wrong. bhikkhus don't take money. east and South Asian Buddhism are two different entities.

Money is just a form of energy exchange ...form is emptiness, emptiness is form.

In this century, monk use cash to exchange for food, bc not everyone carry food with them on the road. Buddhism is about adapting what surrounding them. just don’t put eyes in it.

Koan

😂

they practice very long hours of seated meditation which has similar benefits as sleep so they dont need to sleep that much

+Rumple Stiltskin See, I don't agree with the zen buddhists, but to me your way seems illogical and unreasonable.

+Rumple Stiltskin There is nothing to BE done! That is the non point of THIS...

Feelings are fleeting and temporary which means truth based on feelings is fleeting and temporary, therefore, feelings are not truth.

Have your comments made the world a happier place? Feelings tell us otherwise. ^^
