I have been eagerly awaiting this video to come to youtube for a long time. I am very fond of Meido Roshi and it is so wonderful to see this beautiful dialogue with Jiryu Roshi and Meido Roshi. Thank you so much. 🙏
Please do not delete my comment for telling the truth here . I do not like zen I do not like Rinzi I do not like Soto. I went to both in NYC and iam not trying to be a jerk but with out writing a book here I really can’t stand ither one. However I do like Shugendo they say it comes from Japan but most likely is a folk Taoist import and even if its not it creates a symbiotic relationship with nature so in theory it could lead to spooky abilities but mostly gives a natural high of sorts . The rinzi had a nice gift shop where I got some agarwood incense but other then that they both suck at least here in NYC and yes I have a very good experiential and experience with meditation and like the historical Buddha very much but over given it a chance for over 10 years and iam out. I was homeless in NYC and could meditate for hours a day I spend 2 hours in zazen I walk out feeling like I need a shot of Dilaudid. I have sever nerve pain hit those wood blocks one more time and tell me to stay still, and iam stealing that cool looking talking stick. I get more out of simply reading zen mind and then donating it to a library. And then it’s like taboo to talk about Satori or the scientific aspects of what occurs to the nervous system through yoga. Good grief. I’ll stick to animism and shamanism it’s a shame because you don’t want tho through the baby out with the bath water but I can’t associate with these groups. Just to simply practice right speech The other things one of the monks complained to me I was breathing to loud well I did have a cold but anyway the soundless breathing things is a esoteric concept where you breathe mostly through the dantien through moving your muscles around your umbilical area…. Yea this monk definitely without a doubt did not know that. Staying still in meditation is a by product of reaching deep states of meditation smacking blocks together saying be still may make someone feel important but that’s it so next time someone says zen is good for nothing to sound enlightenmened they are right but not in the way they usely will be. The odds of finding someone in a zendo with insight into sunyata ehhh I don’t know maybe it’s possible but that’s about it it’s possible.
