The 'sweat of farmers in every grain of rice' idea reminds me of growing up in Wisconsin. Always wave, and give the right of way, to tractors and farmers. Don't complain if you get stuck behind them and they're going really slow. They feed us, and deserve respect.

@LouisPhung999 5 жыл бұрын

Fun fact: in Chinese culture, there is a belief that if you finish up every last grain of rice, you're future husband or wife will be beautiful. I'm Chinese and I learned about if from a book called "The Joy Luck Club". I asked my parents about it and they said its true. They always told me to finish up every last grain of rice and I did, as an experiment. But I mainly follow that custom as a way to appreciate the farmers who worked so heard harvesting the rices.

When I was young (I'm 51 now) I took vows as a Zen Buddhist monk at a temple in Los Angeles, CA. We'd get up every morning at 5:15 and meditate first thing and then chant for another 40 minutes or so. Afterwards we did hatha yoga. Life in the temple was so rewarding. It allowed me to separate from the mundane world around me and focus on tasks that needed to be done daily, always with the aim to be present in the moment. In a way, life was simpler and I felt as though I'd found my spiritual home. Circumstances would have me leave after a year, but I always missed living in the temple and have to admit that there is a part of me that has tried to recreate some aspects of it in my regular life ever since. Interesting to see how these Chinese Zen monks do things. Quite differently than what I experienced, although some things are the same, like eating and going about one's tasks without talking. Glad you got to have this experience, and thank you for sharing it....

@@arnavkejriwal3139 Unfortunately, the temple I lived and practiced in is no longer there. The monks went back to Japan. However, there is the Zen Center in Los Angeles. It's larger and has a more urban feel (the temple I attended was a small neighborhood temple). There are also other Zen temples and retreats not too far from LA up in the mountains, the Mt. Baldy Zen Center, and the Yokoji Zen Mountain Center in Idylwild. I'm not familiar with either, though. Both are located about a couple of hours east of LA. I'm sure there are others in LA. Further north in California there's Tassajara Zen Center, near Big Sur, affiliated with the San Francisco Zen Center. They also run the Green Gulch Farm Zen Center near Muir Beach north of SF. But LA and Southern California and California in general is a hot bed for all religions. You'll find it all there. Just Google what you're looking for. Good luck!

Strictly speaking, the biggest form of Buddhism in Japan is Pure Land Buddhism. In China Pure Land fused with Chan, which is why they say "Amitoufou". As another aside, it actually means "Hail the Buddha of Infinite Light", who made a vow that anyone who said his name ten times, with sincere intent, would be reborn in his Pure Land in the west. Reciting this Buddha's name is Pure Land Budddhism's primary practice.

Every time we think we empty our serotonin reservoir a little so science tells us. Serotonin is the key hormone that stabilises our mood, feelings of wellbeing, and happiness. So overthinking reduces all these things. Hence "don't sweat the small stuff" is good Zen Buddhism. Good advice from the Masters from the times before science knew this stuff.

I stayed in the monastery for 1 week learning Tai Chi in April 2019. It's a magical place and I went there in search for answers. The shifu is currently in a looooong retreat (maybe 6 to 10 + years), he only comes out from the cave when he needs to. I have the privilege to have a tea session with him one night when he was out. It was the best and touching moment of my life and gotten the answers that I came for.

Thats an interesting interpretation of what Amitofo means. I think it may mean more than what you stated in your video. My understanding is that Amitofo is the chinese name for Amitabah Buddah, and if you recite that Buddahs name it will help you to the Pureland where Amitabah resides. If you ask the Chan Monk Master about the Pureland school, he may tell you more about it. The Chan/Zen School of Buddhism has a close connection with the Pureland School of Buddhism.

@seasem Жыл бұрын

When I was a monk in Chinese Buddhism Amitofu was simply the name of Amitabha Buddha where the name for Buddha is Fu and the name Amibha is shortened to the more loving Amito. It can be the equivalent of Om Man Ni Pad Me Hum in Tibetan. We who practiced Chan tended not to repeat the Amitofu mantra, because we were not focussed on names and persons as sucvh, Amitabha being the name of the next Buddha to incarnate in the earth at some distant date...but we did have monks who were Pure Land School who would call the name out loud every fifteen seconds of the day. That was their enlightenment/salvation practice, and the belief from the Sutra is that such recitation from a devoted mind is sufficient to enable them to have a rebirth in the Pure Land heaven.

@George Thompson "G'day George", really liked seeing how Chan (Zen) Buddhists conduct their day from start to finish. I noticed how there are similarities on Principles, i always look for the similarities that make us one! I wont name disciplines but in my eleven years in retreat, we woke up 3.30 am to meditate for an hour from 4-5 am, then vegetarian/vegan breakfast, there was no talking from the moment one awakened. First moments of breakfast was to give your food Drishti & appreciation of being Thankful "Empowers the sustenance"... Then back to Meditation from 6-7.30 am. As in your video there are tasks throughout the day at each o clock, 5 minutes meditation where all outward motion stops & one is mindful. Silence a very important practice. This is Mind Yoga & i need that discipline & focus. I think it is good to have Body exercise like Tai Chi-Qigong & knowledge of Daoism, i think this practice is most beneficial, i like this very much. Master Gu is a lovely Soul. Emails appear to be automated between yourself & also Master Gu "Understandably", i have to message so you both have my email, please make space for a personal email. Thank You For You. 🙏

That’s just the thing, it’s great to retreat and have an environment formulated for the best possible opportunity for complete focus on the moment and mindfulness. I only spent a weekend in such a place, in South Korea, so I have had some time to reflect on that glimpse of lifestyle. Yet, what gets me is, how can a person apply such a lifestyle in the regular world with employment, raising a family, and so forth? Does a Buddhist Monk still get along with his/her Mother? How does one life in America starting from scratch in a profession outside of the typical practice and teaching. Like, Mr. Miyagi in the fictional story of Karate Kid was a care taker of an apartment complex and had a love for classic cars. I read the Tao Te Ching and remember that the era was a time that Hermits could live off the land and/or take temporary employment with different families at different times, so some of the passages reflect that sort of disengagement from the regular world. The trick is to gain the wisdom of these sort of people, and formulate it to flow in today’s society.

Some obs: 1. The largest form of Buddhism in China and Japan (Malaysia too) is Pure Land Buddhism. 2. In Japan, Pure Land and Zen temples are totally separate, different sects, antagonistic relationship. Major sects: Zen (Soto & Rinzai); Pure Land (Jōdo-shū and Jōdo Shinshū). In Japanese Zen, Amitābha Buddha is largely ignored in favor of doing Zazen (meditation practice). 3. In China & Taiwan, Chan & Pure Land are found in the same temple. In Chinese Chan, there is respect and chanting to Amitābha Buddha. 4. In Pure Land Buddhism, there is a god like figure called Amitābha Buddha. A mythical Buddha, not to be confused with the historical Buddha. People pray & chant to Amitābha Buddha for an assortment of things including rebirth in the Pure Land where Amitābha Buddha will ferry everyone across the river to full Enlightenment. People also chant and meditate on his name. In China & Taiwan, people may chant his name Namo Āmítuófó whereas in Vietnam people chant Namo A Di Đà Phật. In Japan, Namo Amida Butsu.

"Amituofo" (阿彌陀佛) does not mean "Wisdom of the Buddha" - it is the name of the Amitabha Buddha, who's 17th vow to attain enlightenment included establishing a "pureland" in which anyone who sees his name once with sincerity is reborn, and where the path towards full awakening is easeful and joyful. It is the basis of Pureland Buddhism, and its widespread usage within Chan monasteries demonstrates the syncretism of contemporary Chinese Mahayana Buddhism.
