so, watching.. your mind puffs blosssoms of such colors and poky waddling catepillars called words saddle you to feel this way and that, is your indignant heart yours?, like it doesn't beat, opening and closing from each end of the monitor?
the heavenly way is lofty and serene. The earthly way, solid and still. The human way is calm and tranquil. Throughout the universe there is unending peace. AmituoFo!
Most people forget that Dogen was actually a monk of Tendai-Hokke-shu and studied Tendai (Japanese) or TianTai (Chinese) at Tendai head temple of Hieizan Enryakuji. Dogen is influenced by Lotus Sutra and Chinese Tiantai Chigi's Maka-Shikan. Later Dogen's followers eventually formed an independent Soto-shu. Do not be constrained by sectarian divisions. The true Buddhism is not at all limited by public names and social organizations.
However, as William Bodiford has pointed out to me, the shisho document supposedly given to Dogen by Ju-ching and now designated a national treasure by the Japanese government most certainly is a medieval forgery (Steven Heine, Japanese Journal of Religious studies 30.102 [Spring 2003]
@BluePittbull666 you don't understand the nature of a true Buddhist monk then. The meditation they do allows them to travel to other dimensions and leave their bodies. Monks have sat and burned themselves in protest in meditation. You cannot imagine what its like to be on such a spiritual level with such control over your body, thats why it seems crazy to you.
Also @dfvxc this doesn't go very deep but the film is definitely about zen.
@JoeyRec We do not leave our bodies, nor travel to other dimensions. Zazen is the practice of being awake in this body, in this place and time. It is about intimacy with things as they are, not control.
