Spirituality includes ALL spirits. There is only ONE spirit that is GOOD. Without trusting in Jesus Christ you're welcoming in a whole bunch of pretty-faced evil spirits. You don't know what you're dealing with. With the name of JESUS all demons will flee from you so you can be free, but you MUST trust in Him personally. "Behold, I stand at the door and knock". He is already waiting to welcome you into His arms, and be safe from all demons. Run to Jesus!!!

I don't really understand what Zen is about. But something in this video is very appealing it reminds me that I am searching for something and yet I don't know what it is?
When I see pine forests with the glow of the sunset behind it has that same draw... I wish I knew what it is that I'm searching for.... Will it be at the end of my life that I find it then... So much to be afraid of fear that intense Bible bashing has driven into me , so counterproductive, there has to be a better way
@buffplums To think you could understand Zen from a 3 minute video is of course impossible. It is worth your time if for no other reason than to have an understanding of what Zen is. Read a book then read many books and talk to as many people as you can but do not get attached to any one truth. Like the bird that flies about without leaving a trace or the mirror that holds no image. Train your mind to hold on to nothing then everything will be as it is. It will be like coming home.
@buffplums If you announce yourself as a searcher, that is precisely what you will remain. What you seek is here, now. You can't see it directly because your mind is committed to the search. I'm just the same. I blame my father's father's father's father's father's father's father's father's father's father's father's father's father.

@btheilen1 for some, depending on there religious rich background, they will follow/begin the practice of Zen, or other Buddhist paths with a strong faith based belief style, more or less. For me, in my case, i was privilaged of just trying it out for a season, living in Quebec Canada, in a time of great prosperity, civil peace and all. so for me, i did not choose or need much faith, because i was not in deepsht, down with sickness or very depressed. But i can see why many woud go faith wise
@btheilen1 For me it's a fundamental truth we've (our egos) become blind to. It's about not letting the ego cloud the mind, letting go of the ego, or seeing it for what it is. Meditation is a big part of it, learning not to strive or to learn or to try. Quieting the mind so that the truth reveals itself; that there are no "things" and that we, everything, is all part of one, everything depends/effects one-another.
@geniuz63 There is no self. Just a universe with you as an integral part of a whole. An all-ness. To see yourself as differentiated from the whole is to center your being on the ego and fill your life with delusions. Turn off the story your telling yourself about everything like switching off a TV, and then you will note that unrest and ego are as much a part of human life as anything else. We wouldn't have to strive to let go of anything if we didn't all have both unrest and ego within us.
When a Zen master was once asked what Zen was, he replied, "Your everyday thought." The basic idea of Zen is to come in touch with the inner workings of our being, and to do this in the most DIRECT way possible. Zen is NOT meditation. It is acquiring a new point of view for looking at things (Satori). Meditating on metaphysical statements play no part in Zen. It does not over-rely on words or logic. Words are only metaphors. Zen is the Whole Mind beyond words.
i am my own god their is none higher and i enjoy the game of self realisation very much,i have got to a level where i understand the object of the game but still can,t figure out the rules i have written down(i have a sneaky feeling this is my favourite round) if anyone of my other selfs has a clue i would most appreciate it as although i love the test i,ve set myself it can become irksome that synchronistic events are only showing me more of a rule i already comprehend,time for the next level
i ran out of characters so may i just add i do not want quotes from so called enlightened masters perception of truth or reality but just the the thoughts and realisations of the respondent,i do not want second hand knowledge just your own thoughts,do not regurgitate what you,ve heard just your own personal thoughts,if another being has said it i already know it i,m looking for new info,new facts which can help me desribe and understand myself ,peace out
i came here because i,ve had the realisation that i am all there is and ever was and finding it hard to accept i am trully alone,i hope this can help me understand the implications and find peace,this is puzzling and serene at the same time,if i,m on the wrong track and anyone can enlighten me to fact this is what zen supposes would be most grateful,but bear in mind i take no other opinion as fact unless it fits with my own reality tunnel,i believe nothing unless i feel it to be true for me
You say if another being has said something you already know it. It seems that you will perhaps not find the peace and satisfaction you seek from words you read. Perhaps try bringing the things you know into your everyday life and this may bring you peace. If you're after a sure route to joy, kindness and compassion towards all living things will certainly help you. Forget yourself and make others your concern. Don't meditate waiting for bliss. Meditate to liberate others.
@SonnyMidnight thanks for the reply,i will take what you said on board,i realise my txts may have come across that i do not feel at peace,i have to say i do feel peacefull just that i realise the world is not at peace,this conundrum is a puzzle(lol),my connection to all makes me wonder,can i ever relax and enjoy exsistance if the other facets of myself seem in chaos,any time someone replies i remember already having thought that thru,its as if the jokes on me,peace and love
two words for the same symbol. one symbol for everything which is and was and will be, that is you and I and that and this and what never will be. categories fragment a Self which is wholly one with existence and therefore not at all
Can you have a zen mind and be the best at somthing? because they oppose desire and wants but youneed to have desire and wants if you wanna suceed at somthing. like lets say a sport?
@JackHighlander wow, , but that means they both want to win, right? or why are they fighting. i mean, you do stuff because you want to acchive somthing, thus you are hoping for a certain outcome which is opposing what the zen mind is all about, which is doing without hoping for a certain outcome?
Sorry, but there is more to seeing and hearing. Seeing and hearing according to the Buddha belong to the five skandhas which are always impermanent and suffering. Such is hinayana—not Mahayana which attains to pure Mind which transcends seeing and hearing.
@dwneonstar : The reason is, that the "Enlightening Market " for proletarians is very hard-fought. They try to convince them that even working like a zombie 12 hs a day, paying bills, having children and wife, a "Boss", being anxious about their professional future, their rent, health insurance and whatever is there to worry about for a worker, they have still the possibility to find their way into Zen Buddhism and still being successful in every day life.
@dwneonstar Go through life without attachment. See no difference between your self and others. Now pay to watch me tell you about this, and if you don't you will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
@dwneonstar I don't see it that way. As long as there are copyright laws there will always be someone who will trademark your work then sue you if you don't do it first. Hate the game not the player,son.
I have made a movie as a result of a zen-like experience. Click on my profile name to see a trailer of it and to find a link to a website describing the process. Video responses seem to be blocked here.
I'm confused. Hindus say self-realization is realizing you are part of the divine, and you get all sorts of occultic powers. Zens say realization is realizing you are just a cloud, just part of all there is, but you don't get to feel like God or get any special powers.
Whenever I hear words like "There is nothing more than this" I wonder why such a thing would be said. I do not assume he knows more than I, nor I than he, but as beautiful as the words sound I hear eyes closing.
Without love there is no loss, but neither is there passion. There is a price to living and one does not have to pay if one does not wish to live.
The stream will find its path,no matter what. Rgw wisest thingm you're part of all and all is part of you ;). We have to destroy current society to the ground :D.
Zen practice get's to a point where it's really scary, but it's beyond words once you break through the other side and everything collapses. Not bliss or release, or happiness, not nothing either.
@Ragleif every time i feel myself becoming more 'awake' or aware, i get an overwhelming surge of fear, almost like the sensation of dying, and then i always resist it, it leaves in me total fear, i'm not sure if i am insane sometimes, or if i am on the verge of dying. part of me says i have to let it go, but its too scary, its as if i am just too sensitive to being awake, kind of like say if you were blind and you suddenly had sight the light would overwhelm you. no words can describe my terror
There is some freedom in Groundlessness. We panic when there is no solid surface under our feet, or branch to hold onto for dear life. We become like milkweed pods in a cyclone. The only thing left to do is see where the wind will take us. It's a scary ride, but also has the potential to strenghten our inner core. We could see exactly what we're made of in the face of adversity. Let it ALL happen, for better or worse.

I discovered last night that I don't have a mind. This would worry me a bit. Except, I have no mind to do the worrying with. I think my cat stole it, thus the funny looks sometimes.
@themonkeymN : Yes, it takes a lot of non-thinking to work it out. Thus my interest in music - emphasizes feeling over thought, non-striving. Cheers man.
@bubbaross911 : Yes, I discovered that having a mind is a little too much weight to carry. (Makes one too serious and brooding). Even though the realities of life might require seriousness, there is also great Wisdom in humor (actually considered Sacred in some cultures). Loosens people up so they can actually tackle the realities with more energy and intelligence. Thanks for the reply man! Good reply.
i would also like to apologise i feel that rated comment of mine was taken way out of context i wasnt trying to troll other faiths...but after going through so many Youtube videos with ignorant christians or muslims going out of thr way to comment on a video that does not concern them...to leave a negative comment and tell anybody whos inclined towards buddhism that thr going to burn in hell for eternity...it got a little boring thus i went on a rant..

Th brown poop is always the brown poop. If it turns green, then it becomes the green poop. When the poop gets wet, then this is the opposite of dry poop, which is poop without water molecules. Thus, one smells the poop with the consciousness of knowing that it can be green, brown, wet or dry. Can there exist other kinds of poop? Indeed. This is the essence of poop knowledge.
@attilaclark a beat up tree and some rocks is just sterile thuggishness why not look at some art ? francis bacon might be a bit to your taste, what is he saying with his pope innocenti paintings is that you ?
@osip7315 Take a look friend at the other branches of Buddhism and see the difference in art ...Look at my home page and you will see some incredible art work and then compare that to Zen art. NO comparison. Most people in the USA think Zen when they think of Buddhism. Where is the Bodhisatva in Zen ...its not there..Zen is at best only a HINAyana. The first patriarch in Zen the way was wide , By the third Patriach, it had narrowed, By the sixth Patriach it was very Narrow.
Ok , Zen is Buddhism, humm...not quite..It's about a third Buddhism and two thirds Shinto and Daoism. If you start talking principles, out comes the stick..shut it. If you talk about energy , out comes the stick. It's about Satori. Wich is fantastic. HOwever, it used to have much more. Much of it has been lost. Zen art and gardening , is it art and gardening , NO, a beat up tree and some rocks is not a garden and a circle on a canvas is not art. Im a real Buddhist.
@osip7315 Well, whatever the quality of translation, I like it. Having said that, would you know where I can find a better translation or do you have one? Thank you.
The essence of Mind is formless, this itself is the subtle body of reality. The essence of Mind is inherently empty; this itself is the infinite body of space. Demonstrating arrays of practices is the body of reality of virtues. The body of reality is the root of myriad emanations, which are named according to the situation. Its knowledge and function are endless; this is the inexhaustible treasury. — Zen master Ta-chu (8th-century):(tr., Cleary)
I won't say any religion teach violence...but Budhism and Hinduism is more spritual,Mystic,Philosphical and on strict line of non violence ,love,peace...and giving...
there is a new fashion today : new form of nihilism : beleive enlighnment comes from body ! but this is the same filosofy than the platonic message, the catholic message : the form changed but the ideal is still here. The ideal is not in the sky but inside the body...
I am agree to work and to understand all of our reality. If we were born in X country, with x skin color, eyes, etc. To be weak or strong. The difference is the trouble. To make difference in all things is a great trouble. To be strong and be a warrior and fight ,etc. , etc. Just to be your self is the answer to all. Just to understand , to have conscious
@mecanicien37 true zen is form, no emptyness. Human goal is to carry thinking, ego, self, body, problem...why do you want to throw away ego ? don't flee in weak spirituality, watch the light in the darkness !
@mecanicien37 yes, thinking is a tool like senses.If you drive you need senses, if you want to understand, you think. This is automatic, logical, no need effort. So you don't need to throw away ego, ego comes and go automatically too. The problem is some people believe zen is destroy ego. And that's possible, some people made it...and they called it enlighnment...but this is an emptyness enlightnment, no form enlighnment. Form enlighnment is the human goal
Our knowledge is different from Wisdom. Knowledge it´s a great tool, but only that!!. Example: If you work as a mechanic and you repair a car using a 10m.m. wrench. You need this tool to work and if you repaired it and go to your home with the wrench hanged in your neck to give thank to the wrench because helps you to repair the car, something in you is really bad!!. If you use the tool, you just use it for the work and leave it , when you finish. The knowledge is the tool. But many has hangedon

When a Zen master was once asked what Zen was, he replied, "Your everyday thought." The basic idea of Zen is to come in touch with the inner workings of our being, and to do this in the most DIRECT way possible. Zen is NOT meditation. It is acquiring a new point of view for looking at things (Satori). Meditating on metaphysical statements play no part in Zen. It does not over-rely on words or logic. Words are only metaphors. Zen is the Whole Mind beyond words.

i am my own god their is none higher and i enjoy the game of self realisation very much,i have got to a level where i understand the object of the game but still can,t figure out the rules i have written down(i have a sneaky feeling this is my favourite round) if anyone of my other selfs has a clue i would most appreciate it as although i love the test i,ve set myself it can become irksome that synchronistic events are only showing me more of a rule i already comprehend,time for the next level

i ran out of characters so may i just add i do not want quotes from so called enlightened masters perception of truth or reality but just the the thoughts and realisations of the respondent,i do not want second hand knowledge just your own thoughts,do not regurgitate what you,ve heard just your own personal thoughts,if another being has said it i already know it i,m looking for new info,new facts which can help me desribe and understand myself ,peace out

i came here because i,ve had the realisation that i am all there is and ever was and finding it hard to accept i am trully alone,i hope this can help me understand the implications and find peace,this is puzzling and serene at the same time,if i,m on the wrong track and anyone can enlighten me to fact this is what zen supposes would be most grateful,but bear in mind i take no other opinion as fact unless it fits with my own reality tunnel,i believe nothing unless i feel it to be true for me

@FISHDINHO
Hey! :))
You say if another being has said something you already know it. It seems that you will perhaps not find the peace and satisfaction you seek from words you read. Perhaps try bringing the things you know into your everyday life and this may bring you peace. If you're after a sure route to joy, kindness and compassion towards all living things will certainly help you. Forget yourself and make others your concern. Don't meditate waiting for bliss. Meditate to liberate others.

Sorry, but there is more to seeing and hearing. Seeing and hearing according to the Buddha belong to the five skandhas which are always impermanent and suffering. Such is hinayana—not Mahayana which attains to pure Mind which transcends seeing and hearing.

They try to convince them that even working like a zombie 12 hs a day, paying bills, having children and wife, a "Boss", being anxious about their professional future, their rent, health insurance and whatever is there to worry about for a worker, they have still the possibility to find their way into Zen Buddhism and still being successful in every day life.

I'm confused. Hindus say self-realization is realizing you are part of the divine, and you get all sorts of occultic powers. Zens say realization is realizing you are just a cloud, just part of all there is, but you don't get to feel like God or get any special powers.

Whenever I hear words like "There is nothing more than this" I wonder why such a thing would be said. I do not assume he knows more than I, nor I than he, but as beautiful as the words sound I hear eyes closing.

There is some freedom in Groundlessness. We panic when there is no solid surface under our feet, or branch to hold onto for dear life. We become like milkweed pods in a cyclone. The only thing left to do is see where the wind will take us. It's a scary ride, but also has the potential to strenghten our inner core. We could see exactly what we're made of in the face of adversity. Let it ALL happen, for better or worse.

Th brown poop is always the brown poop. If it turns green, then it becomes the green poop. When the poop gets wet, then this is the opposite of dry poop, which is poop without water molecules. Thus, one smells the poop with the consciousness of knowing that it can be green, brown, wet or dry. Can there exist other kinds of poop? Indeed. This is the essence of poop knowledge.

@osip7315 Take a look friend at the other branches of Buddhism and see the difference in art ...Look at my home page and you will see some incredible art work and then compare that to Zen art. NO comparison. Most people in the USA think Zen when they think of Buddhism. Where is the Bodhisatva in Zen ...its not there..Zen is at best only a HINAyana. The first patriarch in Zen the way was wide , By the third Patriach, it had narrowed, By the sixth Patriach it was very Narrow.

Ok , Zen is Buddhism, humm...not quite..It's about a third Buddhism and two thirds Shinto and Daoism. If you start talking principles, out comes the stick..shut it. If you talk about energy , out comes the stick. It's about Satori. Wich is fantastic. HOwever, it used to have much more. Much of it has been lost. Zen art and gardening , is it art and gardening , NO, a beat up tree and some rocks is not a garden and a circle on a canvas is not art. Im a real Buddhist.

The essence of Mind is formless, this itself is the subtle body of reality. The essence of Mind is inherently empty; this itself is the infinite body of space. Demonstrating arrays of practices is the body of reality of virtues. The body of reality is the root of myriad emanations, which are named according to the situation. Its knowledge and function are endless; this is the inexhaustible treasury. — Zen master Ta-chu (8th-century):(tr., Cleary)

@mecanicien37 true zen is form, no emptyness. Human goal is to carry thinking, ego, self, body, problem...why do you want to throw away ego ? don't flee in weak spirituality, watch the light in the darkness !
douglasmacjames 1 year ago
@mecanicien37 yes, thinking is a tool like senses.If you drive you need senses, if you want to understand, you think. This is automatic, logical, no need effort. So you don't need to throw away ego, ego comes and go automatically too. The problem is some people believe zen is destroy ego. And that's possible, some people made it...and they called it enlighnment...but this is an emptyness enlightnment, no form enlighnment. Form enlighnment is the human goal

Our knowledge is different from Wisdom. Knowledge it´s a great tool, but only that!!. Example: If you work as a mechanic and you repair a car using a 10m.m. wrench. You need this tool to work and if you repaired it and go to your home with the wrench hanged in your neck to give thank to the wrench because helps you to repair the car, something in you is really bad!!. If you use the tool, you just use it for the work and leave it , when you finish. The knowledge is the tool. But many has hangedon
