Bruce Lee's Philosophy and the Indian Monk behind it (Jeet Kune Do)- Mini Documentary

[@iamarishi]

Thank you for this. I wish Indians knew more about him and understood what he wanted to teach/discuss/portray. We are surrounded by shitstorm and this country needs JK's words more than ever, but I don't think it's going to happen which is just unfortunate. Again, I thank you for making this video. Looking forward to seeing more and more work by you guys! Love.

[@indieA]

This is probably one of the best comments we've had on this channel. Thank you for taking time out to do so. Yes... there's a bit of amnesia about India, in Indians - and it's not that great a thing. The primary motivation for us to start this channel came from the aforementioned shitstorm that we are atm.

lee did not believe in styles so how could he be obsessed with the ultimate fighting style?

[@indieA]

It’s all semantics but his arrival at ‘no-style’ might have been the moment of realisation in his quest for the ultimate fighting style.

[@hsemu316]

​@@indieA Sure i will check other videos as well.... I have read many books by Jiddu Krishnamurti and i am a big fan of Bruce Lee, so when i saw the thumbnail i immediately clicked and thought that it would just be a normal video. But i was blown away by the fact that you did not made this video randomly. You knew about the philosophies and ideas of "K" and how beautifully you have related it to Bruce Lee's philosophy. "The observor is the observed" was the most difficult idea or concept for me to understand ever, but you have explained it simply and effectively.

[@indieA]

The Observer is the Observed is complex and non-intuitive. That’s why it’s hard to internalise. What we can learn from Vajrayana Buddhism is that if you can find an application that helps you reach a spiritual goal through practice, you can internalise the unspeakable. Martial Arts is one such application. The Shaolin Monks and the Kalaripayuttu practitioners got this. As did Yogis. As did Bruce Lee. That’s the man’s genius.

[@hsemu316]

@@indieA You are right...

[@ankursarmah5434]

India has always given birth to great and wise philosophers since time immemorial. It has also influenced all major thoughts, philosophies and religions of the world. Bruce Lee himself was a great philosopher. And he always advocated absorbing and learning good things from others, be it in martial arts or philosophy. No wonder he absorbed some core values from Krishnamurthy's teachings.

[@indieA]

True that brother!

[@johnjohn1423]

J. Krishnamurti was NOT a Monk...

[@indieA]

Hey man, he wasn't a monk in the traditional sense. That's because he could not be. He did not prescribe to any order, least of all a monastic one! It's a nitty gritty in the greater scheme of things proposed by this video, though!

[@epistemologistlordfraterth2170]

Interesting sir, you are on it ...monk maybe not in the traditional since, eclectic, and he walked whats called the 3rd path! Krishna that is, these are men who dared to be great in the since of self realization! Bruce is obviously a out growth of these teachings! There exist different classes of monk's and different types of monk's! The focus is the vows and particular disciplines the disciples chooses to exemplify in the flesh in terms of developing self control and self development! There are always those that will come and challenge tradition, some will turn tradition on its head, and bring forth pure genius from where ever it ebbs and flows from!!

[@CharliefromAussieland]

He may read Krishnamurti, but he had NO-THING to do with him, neither his lifestyle, his martial arts, nor his narcissistic ego. His life was driven by a mixture of pride and inferiority complex, despite he excel as 1st. in martial arts.

Yes many good points yet "wanting" doesn't eventually leads to anxiety>conflict>suffering. "Unfulfilled wanting" can lead to anxiety>suffering. It's been said that even gautima siddartha buddha said "how will you rid of your desire to rid of your desires?"

[@indieA]

For the sake of simplicity, unfulfilled wanting can still be categorised as ‘wanting!’ But you’re not wrong at all. Also the cyclical nature of wanting and wanting what you want has been handled ever so well by JKD himself in his criticism of thought itself. That also technically stems from the second Jiddu Truism we have highlighted in this video. Thanks for letting us know how you feel about this. Stick around. Cheers man. :)

Jiddu Krishnamurti wasn't a Monk, he was a member of Helen Blavatsky's Theosophical society... He didn't agree with it later on, so pulled out of the Theosophical society, and did his own thing... Bruce liked his teachings,he was influenced by him, as there is video of him and Linda attending one of Jiddu's lectures! So he borrowed many of them, incorporating them into his Philosophy, Jeet Kune Do philosophy!

What west has that india doesn't is the use of brain to its maximum potential. We country who is afraid to think because then we will be insecure, we want to be secure in our own illusions. Only Krishnamurti can help india to think rationally. after that it is our job to live life. But before that we need to have a common language, as english is very mature language both in terms of mind and matter, we can use this medium. What we first need in India is a common language to communicate the ideas, first we have to take care of the brain and force the man to think for himself. But we have serious hurdle of communication which is common language. It is necessity of survival, before we can do anything in this country. Our brain is so rotted, that you see hopelessness in society, the dirtiness, poverty, all are result of brain thinking. That is why Krishnamurti work is so important as it is founded on nature intelligence, not all the isms, He will make man scientific which means he will make man to careful study the nature in a objective attitude. Modern world is create by man ability to think rationally, scientifically and use that knowledge into creating technology. The only hope for India is the unification of common language, when it is done, everything will be easy. Because of the unification of culture and language, the west is so much ahead of us. Because of optimum utilization of brain thought power.

The earliest forms of martial arts trace back to Africa

[@indieA]

Interesting. Could you elaborate please?

[@srirammithra]

Every martial art has it roots to Kalari, it was founded by Lord Parashurama who was in turn trained by Adiyogi Supreme Lord Mahadev Shiva. Even modern day Shaolin Kungfu was formed based on teachings of Indian Buddhist monk Bodhidharma(who himself was trained in Kalari) who travelled to China to spead Buddhism.

[@indieA]

Agreed. Shaolin Kungfu had multiple sources of inspiration but the influence of Kalari could definitely have been significant. Bodhidharma was instrumental in not just the propagation of Chan Buddhism but also his martial art as well. But it is not accurate to call out that all martial arts have their roots in Kalari. Lexbogie1 has a point about many martial arts having their roots in Africa like the Brazilian martial art of Capoeira.

[@felixxi6737]

The formless form or the no way is the way was not said by Indian man it is a old shaolin saying the means be like water

[@indieA]

Yes a similar strain of thought exists in Taoism which Jiddu would have read for sure. The Chinese were also heavily influenced by the philosophical ontology presented in the Buddhist Heart Sutra- Form is Emptiness; and Emptiness is Form. In Sanskrit, the Heart Sutra is Prajnaparamitahrdaya- The Heart or Core of the Perfection of Wisdom. It was taught by Buddha in Rajgir, Bihar, India. All roads lead to India. Cheers! :)

[@hsemu316]

Do you know that Shaolin has its basis from the teachings of an Indian monk named "Bodhidharman"....

[@indieA]

Yes indeed. We have mentioned this in many of our podcasts as well. Bodhidharma was a Kalari practitioner according to legend. He also happens to be the one of the Patriarchs of Chan Buddhism that morphed into the modern avatar of Japanese Zen Buddhism and the Pure Land Buddhist School in China.

[@marlonlo9661]

Krishnamurti was not a monk. He renounced all religions.

[@indieA]

Yes. Agreed. We called this out in our other comments as well. We used the word- Monk- for want of a better word. It’s so hard to get labels right for JKD when he belied all such classifications. Thanks for commenting! Cheers! :)

[@mohit5895]

Kung fu was founded in India

[@indieA]

Not entirely accurate. Bodhidharma’s Kalari contributed a lot to developing the Shaolin school of martial arts at the time. But there are many parallels between the two systems. Kung fu in its current developed form DID NOT originate in India. Cheers! :)

[@mohit5895]

@@indieA Dude I'm saying that Kung fu has its orgins in Kalaripayattu. Bodhidharma went to spread Buddhism in China. He thaught meditation to the monks. But the monks weren't strong enough to do such advanced meditation thaught by Bodhidharma. So to strengthen the monks , he thaught them Kalaripayattu. The martial art became popular in China and everyone started to learn this. And thus Kung fu was born

MMA is just trying to use Bruce Lee's name. MMA is a brutal profit-driven business that has underpaid its fighters. Martial artists learned many techniques since the beginning. In the military, they train in many different techniques from the beginning. It's up to the person to decide how much he wants to learn.

[@indieA]

Fighters being underpaid is a recent phenomenon. The meteoric rise of the sport has pitted it against Boxing- and the purses it’s promotions offer fighters vis a vis MMA. UFC has corporatised the sport with shit pay down the food chain for sure. But in the good old days of Pride, Strikeforce and even Affliction, fighters got paid what the sport deserved at the time. But MMA is just a sport. Real world techniques in combat and warfare are at a different level. Even Bruce Lee’s philosophy to a large extent is nullified in that regard.

"Bruce Lee from my point of view had no near understanding of K's teaching. All Bruce Lee did was make an absurd and silly adaptation and copy of K's teaching to martial arts (the origin of martial arts is preparing the ground for hatred and violence); with this, the only thing that Lee contributes and does is literally damage and destroy himself. Therefore, this has or does not contain any relation to the original teaching of K. Perhaps, what Bruce Lee did is the clearest example of human stupidity and folly when the use of hatred and violence is made a misunderstood art. "

[@indieA]

Hey thanks for watching and commenting. You have an interesting point of view though we don’t necessarily agree with it. K’s teachings are universal in that they can be applied to any element along the broad spectrum of human experiences. Bruce Lee’s interpretation was with respect to his dogma of martial arts. The same philosophy has been distilled through time with many like Conor Mcgregor swearing by it. Now your assertion that martial arts are preparing the ground for hatred and violence is most likely inaccurate if not downright false at all to begin with. Martial Arts evolved as a defensive play against the predatory malevolence prevalent in the world (not in the least from humans themselves). Whether you like it or not, fighting to protect and survive is the oldest game in the natural world; it’s no wonder that it is considered the oldest sport in human cultures. Hatred and violence may be present but it is a human projection. Ultimately, being a warrior entails you to be a philosophical spiritualist as well- because war and near death experiences sets you up to face the darker realms of human consciousness where one must contend with one’s shadow replete with malevolence. This ensures a Jungian rounding off of the human psyche in many ways, and a martial artist can use his violent art to further spiritual enlightenment. K’s teachings don’t prescribe a necessary path or ideal to attain truth but martial arts will definitely get you there. Cheers.

[@indieA]

Crossover fights were very rare those days. Opinions about personalities then are sadly nothing but opinions. You’re not wrong about him never having fought professionally. But one can’t deny his scale of influence on the current crop of martial artists and fighters. And this will continue for the coming generations as well given how MMA is growing and how the sport’s promotions and fighters speak highly about Bruce Lee as an inspiration.

[@vijaysimhareddypalvai]

@Hysen Berisha you see, why does it matter if someone had some kind of fight! Bruce Lee wanted to make martial arts popular on first note. Through K’s teachings, he might have learned and adapted some ways. Now all you’re saying is that one should compete in meaningless competitions to break each other’s heads so that one can prove one’s skills.

Every inch credit goes to the greatest ever born philosopher, the light of Asia.. The Buddha! We are so fortunate that we have taken birth in his land. Osho, this guy jiddu and many others basically copy buddhist philosophy & try to present it in a new cover to the western audience, just to impress white women, become famous in their wealthy countries, western audience and take benefits. Now all this philosophy, this guy jiddu presents is originally Mahāyana buddhist order monk "Nagārjuna" 's philosophy, he has simply copy pasted it labelled it as his own, just added some points in it which realated to our routine day to day life.. that's it he has done! no need to take him seriously. Bruce Lee was Chinese. & core of Chinese philosophy is made of Buddha's teachings.

[@indieA]

Jiddu’s focus was highly individualistic. He would not have believed in the Sangha or the Four Noble Truths. Jiddu believed Truth to be a pathless land, and he would not have appreciated Nagarjuna’s Catuskoti. So while, Jiddu might have been influenced by the Buddha (who wasn’t! :)), ultimately, he would have rejected Buddhism because he was definitely affirmative in his philosophy given his opinions on love, life and freedom. Also, the core of Chinese Philosophy was not and is not Buddhism. But Buddhism’s influence in the modern era has only grown and it is now one of its cornerstones.
