Beautiful ; Work is Meditation
Thank you 😊🙏
It's amazing how this short video has so much wisdom in it.. To not care about others and just pounding rice for those that need to eat even though they don't like the person and appriciate what he was doing for them is an example of selflessness.. This is just one of many deep hidden messages..
Yes, you understand the real meaning of the story...👍
Thanks for this....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You're most welcome 😊👍
Namaste 😊

Best by far ❤
For those wishing to convey their arrival or progress, worry not about your journey in comparison to anyone else. Enlightenment and true understanding oneself is not defined by any one culture. You just keep doing you the best way you can. Love yourself. Be compassionate for yourself. Have a blessed day.
Thank you
Most welcome 😊👍
Omg - I'll have to start painting again. I used to become so engrossed that I lose all sense of time. It is such good therapy. I imagine music making is the same for musicians or dance too. Do what engrosses you so that you almost become the thing that you are engrossed in.
Some time you need to focus on your mind set thank you godfather to take part of my meditation thinking ❤🤝
Very insightful thanks for explaining beautiful story
Thank you very much 👍😊
Do everything with total awareness.. THIS IS THE BEST LIFE CHANGING VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN ON TH-cam.
Thank you very very much for your valuable response 👍☺️
Silence of mind is highest form of prayer and to silence mind is meditation.
Nice super story
Many many thanks 👍
Just be focused in doing something with dedication and thats meditation
I appreciate this concept of meditation in work. This is called Karma Yoga in Indian culture and was quoted by Shri Krishna ❤️ in the Bhagavad Gīta. Namo Budhhaya

It's RICE! Not getting up; RISE.
Yes.
Zen story is about complete freedom from thoughts in mind by engrossing completely into your work as well as all of your common or specific actions (like walking, eating, playing, reading and so on ). That is, all your work and actions become meditation. your individual consciousness becomes one with universal consciousness. The culmination of meditation is Enlightenment.

Profound words...really deep thinking🙏❗️😮
Thank you soo much... very glad to hear this! 👍
That's the thing I believe we must learn who we are. Meditation is important in the fact that it helps one to focus . Learning to discipline your mind with how you react to things is so important and everything thought logically can be simplified as you began to learn to focus. Thinking and focusing and listening are important . Talk can come moderately. So itsa learning experience for a person. Going prepared with a clear mind and focused mind can make things better..
Wow great
Thank you very much 👍😊
Very interesting. Thank you.
Thank you soo much for your lovely support 👍👍👍

Thank you 🔯
This is an amazing lesson! I love the simplicity and complexity of it. Upon finding that combination, you can learn much from the contrast. I am going to try and practice this in my daily life.

Your own mind can you your best friend or your worst enemy, a very simple concept to grasp and yet unreachable for many.
I travel in time and now pass by this.
I am 64 years old, had a number of seasons in life. Now, I am always wondering why God allows so many lives to suffer - Is it because of evil humans, or because humans failure to fear God!!!
This video has given me some facts to think about, some truth to reflect on 🤔
Thank You so much for the upload,
God bless You 🙏❤
I wanna write a few rows: Life is all about peace. It doesn't matter who you are or where are you, you always have to chose the way that is the straightest for you, because it's your way and it doesn't matter how dark it is, if it's your way then you will get to the end, even if it takes putting yourself trough hell.
You will get to the end
ANY WAY...
Agreed
True...a journey...not a path or way. It's something we all suffer to enlightening
We're all here without a choice...the cord!...❤❤❤❤
Too many people do not get to choose the path of their life.
@user-ug2hk3go6i it's not a path..it's a journey. We are here without a choice..the cord. and it's a battle between 2..yes or no..that simple...now we can go 3rd world which is this world. and it's the same..unless your talking locked!
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you soo much glad to hear this!😊

This is something really wonderful, I knew that, still not able follow . Your vedio help me to adopt strongly. Thank you so much
Thank you very much for your valuable comment 👍
A very good rice pounder story.
This reminded me of my mother
We have been taught from birth to believe that the mind is who we are. But in truth the mind is simply a tool you use to do things. When you need to do something, use your mind. But at all other times simply be in the present moment, wherein lies peace.
We've spent our whole life doing it wrong. So it generally takes time (and practice) to fix the problem. That is, still the mind,. To gently put the mind aside.
Meditation can help. Because it can to teach us what stillness really is. But once you understand stillness you can, as Zen suggests, make your whole life a meditation.
There is peace.
Identify the peace (the stillness of the present moment) at the center of the swirling maelstrom of your thoughts. Then choose to be the stillness, rather than the thoughts.
There is peace.
this makes zero sense to me
Thanks you !❣️
For sharing a simple, deep version🙏
I truly enjoyed all that was said, & yes when I'm that zoned into your work state, everything I was doing happened, In what seemed to be only a few moments, & when not zoned in to the work seemed to take forever, but since I'm a perfectionist it was always done perfect. I'm a Disabled Master Floor Covering Mechanic, if you walk on it I can install it, but back is inoperable after a failed Back Surgery at L4-L5, & L5-S1 a Laminectomy and Discectomy at both levels put me on wheels for 3 years, I got mad and found a doctor that would help with the 24/7 Explosive Pain. I made myself Walk Again with everything below my Bellybutton either numb & tingling, or Erupting Pain, yet the pain is eternal but I can walk on These Legs for now, never take gabapentin if in this rewired connection's to legs state, it caused my legs to stop working lots, getting up to do anything was insane I would get 2/3 to 3/4 standing and my legs would stop working and as I was falling they would work back to where it let go, I called it the human YOYO effect & it would continue for 10 to 40 Min if I didn't stop trying for 30 min to 50 min, and could last 10 or more hour's I ceased that gabapentin and a week later it stopped.
Love this story, thank you ❤
👍👍
Flow State
I meditate when riding my motorcycle. Best ever!
I remember saying to my mother that I wished I lacked any intelligence and didn't think all the time. My mother agreed. Ive always envied people who live in the the moment and lack empathy and any deep concern for sorrows and worries that keep so many unhappy. 😊
What about living in the moment with empathy? Also living in the moment while I raise my 5 year old son with not any understanding how I deserve this ?
You must not be that Intelligent. Clearly it must be book intelligence not existential intelligence
You find lacking empathy and deep concern for sorrows to be a desirable goal?
I once had time to really meditate. I literally had years where I worked,ate and meditated. I didn't talk unless needed at work and in the evenings I was alone to reach into myself without TV or radio. I reached a point once that I knew, I started to say I thought, but I knew I had reached the "Big Nothing!" ,that's all I can say to explain it. IT scared me, I felt absolutely alone and when I came back ,I was to afraid to go back that I haven't ever tried to go back. I have a mantra I use to relax, but I don't try to go deep. Some may enjoy and revel in it, but it's nothingness.
And the nothingness/void doesn't GAF about you or your problems or what you can contribute. According to the late Eugene "Seraphim" Rose, you would be better off going away from the void and towards God/All That Is aka the Creator of the Universe. Father Seraphim was a Russian Orthodox monk who built his own monastery in Platina, CA, and translated several spiritual books into English before his untimely death at age 48.
@@charlesperigord1599If God is everywhere he would be in the nothingness too.
@@Viz79Of course! But remember, these people are addressing their prayers to the nothingness, not to God himself.
think only for divine central authority
Very inspiring story.
Thank you soo much 👍
Great video. I wonder if it might be more useful to instead be completely aware of our bodies, and not get lost in doing a thing, but to be completely present and thoughtlessly aware in the doing of a task.
I don't have thé words , to explain, but I feel it is thé same ...
My english it's not good enough to explain to you, but I'll try my best . At work if you feel with a flow and you forget about time, space or talk around, but when you startle, 4-6 or a long time has passed. It is also a feeling of meditation
Eckhart tolle explains this so brilliantly please if you haven’t already give him a look up
I guess I should post this too because it seems almost everyone else has.
Wow
👍
"Wow, this video truly inspired me! It's amazing how the power of motivation can push us to achieve great things. Thank you for reminding us that with determination and hard work, anything is possible. Keep spreading positivity and encouraging others to chase their dreams. You're making a real difference!"
Thank you very very much for your valuable response. I am really glad to hear this. 👍😊
The purpose of the mind to clear it of negative thoughts and to apply it to becime productive. The culmination of meditation is leveraging it for productivity.
Surely somebody is sweating the fields to feed these monks.
Your reward comes from getting to know your Creator (the source of life) and to fulfill his purpose for your life.
Superb!!
Great revelation.
Thank you soo much for your valuable response 👍.... I'm very glad to hear this....😊

Do everything with total awareness.
This sounds like the story of HuiNeng the sixth patriach of Zen Buddhism in china. Thanks for this video ❤
You're most welcome... thank you very very much for your valuable response 👍 ☺️ I'm very glad to hear this!
I want to say that... it hurts heavily once you start practicing Silence by mouth and also Silencing the endless thoughts..
The main pain is implementing the above wisdom in the video..its hard, very hard but also mind you the God is with you in your journey of attaining the God itself..
May God bless everyone🙏🙏🙏
A man's life is like a cherry blossom

Amazing👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🙏🏽🌻🌻
Thank you soo much 😊
Gnome in the garden - planting, grounding, rooting, growing and earthing best of all.
I agree Sir, it Always happens when we are doing something which needs attention. Like drafting a reply or making something new. The whole attention is concentrated in the work. We become absent....
Yet, an enlightened one should not laugh at others still looking for the truth! Laughing at someone is contempt.
I think it might have been a translation issue. I guess they meant 'smile'. I understand what you mean. Later on he says 'smile', if I'm not mistaken
This person was looking for the Truth. Jesus said “I am the way, the Truth, and the life.” The number one book throughout all of history, the Bible, offers hope, peace, and truth that fills the void every man is desperately looking for. Please take a few hours of your life to investigate the claims of Christ. You WILL find the truth as I have. You don’t have to spend your whole life searching. God can accept you today as you are! He loves you and wants a relationship with you. You will know who you are and why you are here and what your purpose is in this life. Find it in Jesus today.
There is no truth, only our perceived existence.
Graffiti is best meditation.
Great story, thanks so much. I have only one input: It is "rice" not "rise" - you might want to change this in the subtitles :-) Other than that, I love the story, fighting with constant thought myself.
💗
Do. It is simple. Go. Then do.
Michael Jordan had that playoff game late in his career when he could not miss, not even from deep. He famously shrugged at the bench after draining a three pointer.
He was "in the zone," as they say. I am no Jordan, but I always did want to be like Mike. One day in the gym, I hit 18 or 20 threes in a row like I was on autopilot.
I used to get like that studying chemistry too, only rarely with mathematics, but often while directed toward geology or physics. I learned to do it playing sports.
I set myself aside and simply absorb what is before me. Nobody ever told me that was meditation before, but it does make sense very clearly.
Nice Superb
Thank you soo much 👍
Mmmm,, I agreed more with the first quotes,,, ( our mind it’s like a mirror on which thousands of desires accumulate constantly.)..
Well done :) keep it going xx
He meditated for 12 whole years.. absolute legend
He didn't
@@sofimazi555 what do you think that rice task was for?
Meditation isn't something you need to sit n keep ya eyes closed to do, it happens in the mind during times like his 12 years
All those years doin the same thing every single day, all that time alone, so lost in his work that his mind faded, so much time to think while mastering a single skill
He was meditating, thats why he was the masters successor
Didn't you understand as i do or are you blind to what's in plain sight like all the students whome saw themselves as his better were?
Can you see beyond sight and know beyond knowing?
@@infj-tguy6275 "can you see" etc.
NO 😶
can you? 😉
To me he was serving the people with devotion
The bonus is that his ego melted slowly.
Therefore he deserved to be master servant.
😛
@@sofimazi555 indeed
@@sofimazi555 i can see, sometimes i wish not to but unfortunately my imagination is so vivid it makes my mind a hell of my own design and i find myself wishing to rip out my eyes just to stop it, but alas i cant
So i see beyond sight, for better or worse, and to know beyond knowing isn't hard, you just need to accept that existence is full and the odds of you saying something that most of humanity thinks doesn't exist actually exists
Like planet sized spaceships lol

Life without tears is a desert without a drop of rain.
Morality:
It is not about knowledge.

A-shaped coin
I achieved nirvana as a result of listening to this cuz my mind couldn’t stand the repeating backing track so it walked out 🤷🏻♂️ 🦧👽
Hold on, I have to think about this...
😂
Well played.
I only get close to that when I go for a long jogging session, I feel as if my body is going on autopilot no matter how many KM I've ran, I just keep going while almost not thinking of anything but only paying close attention to keep my breathing functional for intense running.
Yes.But this Zen story is not about over thinking.Its about how not to think at all.Its about how to become nothing through meditation (normal/other types of awareness meditation like focused work)and how that nothingness leads to right answers through intution.
Such intutive knowledge alone,that has come from within, is true knowledge and stays with you forever.
❤
I love rice
Fantastic 🙏👏🙏
Thank you soo much 👍
There is no such thing as over thinking, only misunderstanding, and you'll never understand if you stop thinking. They don't want you thinking for yourself, they want you to sit back and let them think for you, making you nothing more than an afterthought.
You have much to learn about thoughts and the ego. I suggest you read Eckhart Tolle.
Thats what manipulation sounds like...chinese
@@edtrillo1415ok your one of the puppet type..
Sadly you don't seem to understand that the human animal usually gibbers and thinks about endless things that are out of its control. For it to be at peace it needs to be at one with the world and for that there has to be peace and calm.
Yes🛐, even any professional work can take you to the supremacy, knowing the facts surrounding an individual for what he/she exist,😢only that fellow have awaken towards the path they walk.. AV
Tomorrow you need to stop thinking
I really wonder where did this story come from. There is so much truth.
Google "Huineng": the famous 6th partriach of Zen. It is his story.
Moral of the story be a blind sheep.
Good luck, guys. You will "become enlightened" when you quit messing with your head (trying to fix something?), AND quit overstimulating. You are living creatures, purely alive. Nothing else. Your "name" is a label. Other than as a label t's not real. Each living body is a sea of life. That's it. Throbbing, humming, squishing. Life is all that's happening. No repeats. No do-overs. Just straight, unadulterated spark. Every living body.
And his master gave him a dictionary and said “study this dictionary, for when you have learned how to spell rice correctly, then you will have knowledge”
Now the question is how many of us were able get close to that our true self ?
The rice pounder is Venerable Dajian Huineng.
I heard this story from OSHO
