It is said that there is no beginning to practice, and no end to enlightenment.

[@Mrliftalee]

When you finally understand zen, you can’t stop crying, because then you understand that there is nothing to understand and no one to do the understanding and no understanding to be done.

ZEN REMAINS ALIVE - THE BEST HUMANS GREW - TO BE - ABLE TO FACE - EMBRACE - ACCEPT - LOVE -THE COMPLETE TRUE REALITY OF THIS HERE AND NOW

[@catrionamcloughlin6937]

I would seek advice about microphones because there was so much background noise and I was having to use the subtitles even though with that telling me what you were both saying I could tell that I would have had no problem understanding if the sound was better. You get so much more being able to look at them while you listen. Other than that great video! I too received enlightenment, so, I know, hope you're doing ok buddy! 🙃

[@dvinespark]

Well done, nice peek into the ideals of self development held by Zen Buddhism.

[@ram_bam]

Fantastic questions.

[@MassiveLib]

Zen is that which asks the question and that which hears it.

[@enterthevoidIi]

One thing in Japanese culture that is rare is sarcasm :)

Such a beautiful guy wasting his life preaching and helping others. He should do that when you go old.

[@paulmitchell5349]

He is free to leave the temple if he decides you are right.

[@RussMcClay]

Excellent interview and well produced.

[@Dolesan]

Hello Justin, Great interview! Where are you based out of?

[@ivaaggarwal122]

Can someone tell me who use to practice Zen Buddhism in Japan Like which culture it belongs to

[@jacobl7451]

Brought from India to China. In China it was “Chan” Buddhism and then it spread to Japan and other countries. “Zen” is just the Japanese translation of Chan

[@mcleanedwards7748]

Good things about Japan

[@zaveeramini9712]

The problem is, how does one self evaluate oneself during the process of self development.

[@zackmackmusic6655]

Im a fool but I’ll respond. Classically, the student is implored to awaken and then seek confirmation from one who has awakened prior. Also, the flavor is ordinary, and one knows what one knows as plainly as one knows one has an eyebrow. Do you go seeking confirmation regarding your eyebrow. No, in fact, you didn’t think about it until it was mentioned, but this eyebrow you have never not had and so how can you awaken to it. When this is truly realized, it will be completely ordinary and utterly hilarious. Dumbstruck with the wonder that one sought to attain what one already had.

Why go to Japan when Zen master live in Minneapolis

[@pr5pr]

I came to hear how exactly Japanese people pronounce “zen” but it’s interesting that this monk didn’t say it even once. Maybe it’s on purpose - meaning that you can’t describe and talk about the real nature of experience and being.

[@zackmackmusic6655]

The word Zen is a Japanese appropriation of the term ch’an. Historically, prior to coming to China this wisdom arose from the mahasiddhas of the great continent of India. There is nothing grammatical or semiotic about Zen, and I would imagine that if a master was asked how that word is pronounced, he would simply utter the first thing that came to mind without a thought or sneeze: “achoo” or say it is pronounced “fuck,” or “have you eaten?”

[@maestroko8642]

KATZ!!!

[@renakmans3521]

Hmm, Zen has different schools because I’ve never heard it refer to human achievement…that’s not it, and sounds more like something that comes from SGI…

[@mcleanedwards7748]

Oh so des ne KAWAII DES NE bald freak god master

[@snowflakemelter1172]

KZbin Zen masters in the comments 🤣🤣🤣

[@Jay-hw6ix]

He calls himself a master? What is a master of Zen? There is no Japanese term to describe a master of Zen. Anybody who would call themselves a master of Zen has an ego the size of Mount Everest. I am a Japanese monk and I can tell you there is no such thing as a Japanese Zen, Master.
