Secrets of the I Ching (2016) | Full Movie | Jonathan Pryce

[@jacquelinepayne2012]

Having studied the I Ching for many years and used it as a guide for my own moral development, I have the utmost gratitude to Richard Wilhelm for making this ageless book of Chinese wisdom available to Western minds. A truly beautiful teacher for those looking for profound meaning in their lives.

[@alexdavid8545]

Could not agree more. The I Ching is a treasure.

[@teresaserrao9089]

Thank you 😊

[@ishbahmalik7675]

I just started on the I-ching and it's a compliment to Islam rather than a contradiction... it's amazing that it lines up with our teachings...😊

[@etlay5684]

The depth of I Ching (Yi Jing) is so profound that so many people can't understand it fully, it's not only a book of changes, divination but it's also a book about the universe and morals. To the Chinese, I Ching is like their bible.

[@yuyisong5186]

I Ching is not like the bible for Chinese. It's not a must read, and not many Chinese read I Ching, but most of Chinese are influence by the way of thinking and its thoughts from I Ching.

[@t0xcn253]

Wilhelm is such a fascinating figure, his writings are at once insightful and mediated through the lens of his Christian convictions, making for an interesting blend of east and west in the philosophy he conveys. Where his method succeeds there is a truly penetrating insight that allows human nature to shine through, regardless of time and place, in all its compassion, wisdom and understanding. Very moving to hear the details of his life and studies.

[@gregmcclimonds8399]

As the dali lama said... your jesus was such a lovely man, you christians are so unlike him 😊

[@ctwpoco-oy6wu]

Why are the people of China so unfortunate? While most countries in the world have adopted democracy, Chinese people still have to suffer under a dictatorship.

[@yazstar9342]

Thankyou for this wonderful insight into the life of masters in compassionate action! Richard Wilhelm and CC Jung..thankyou.

[@accbjg1]

Thanks!

[@easytriops5951]

Many thanks for the upload! It's fascinating to have these records from ancient times in our language, available, for free! So I can't thank you enough for the upload! I would also appreciate you to upload the original german version too since I am german and want to hear the original tone and words of the documentary! 😄

[@EndNuclearAgenda21]

What amazing documentary! Absolutely wonderful. I will have to watch it a few more times and take notes. Thank you very much for sharing ❤

[@Koox0018]

Very meaningfully documentary. Thanks for uploading.

[@manjeetsidhu2022]

Intuition is in harmony with logic, it just goes further. Oh my 🙂

[@bahbcat]

That was wonderous. The old films and the music bridging. Very nice. Not to mention I learned more details.

[@reblord5544]

It is very difficult to understand this movie for the hearing challenged. The background noise of the original narration combines with the English translation into an unintelligible cacophony. Too bad, I’m very interested in this topic.

[@MissMamaLoula]

I agree and I'm not hearing impaired. The music is also way too loud.

[@jehnonjohnson8391]

I hate the two voices.

[@deerskin4225]

I am not hearing impaired. Yet can hardly get whats being said. Too bad really. Sub titles would have been much better

[@robinj.9329]

Yup. I can't understand it at all !

[@CSchaeken]

Great video about a wonderful man’s life. I discovered the I Ching in the 70’s and then completely forgot about it, this video brings me back to it, so thanks for posting . Simultaneous translation is always a bit tricky to follow, subtitles would have been better, nevertheless very enjoyable.

[@hagbardc623]

Good story. What an incredibly interesting life and man.

[@mut8inG]

Thank you.

[@boil456]

This well balanced documentary movie. Thanks for it.

[@jonathanj.3695]

Coincidental, considering that the Taoist Yin/Yang symbol symbolizes balance and this documentary is about a part of Taoism.

[@carlosseptiencuevas1613]

Great to learn about the live of this Giant Man:.

[@quimicaengenharia]

the community could help subtitle it. but I didn't find the option🙂

[@cordialmenteclaudio-vanesa]

Hola. ¿Hay posibilidad de que puedan traducir o subtitular este documental, por favor? Gracias

[@ursamajor7840]

really bad sound !!! Overlapping two voices-over ☹and no possibility to to hace subtitle. I gave up after a few minutes

[@teresaserrao9089]

Thank you 😊

[@rcdoig]

Thanks for posting this. Wilhelm was unique in bringing centuries of Chinese wisdom to the western world via German and English language in partnership with Jung. We now see their works as rafts in a tumultuous sea of conflicting chaos. Did they have any idea of the impact they would have in our time?

[@cesarbertinetti683]

No tengas ninguna duda , con antelación ellos quedaron impactados, occidente nunca quiso que se conociera a fondo la cultura occidental, hecho relevante . En occidente se conoció poco y nada , aún hoy de la cultura asiática , India y China en especial.

[@1geomancer]

Interesting movie

[@HelenaAmandoLavida]

Thanks for sharing this full movie. I am studying the I Ching self-taught but my English is not complete. Please, can you at least enable the subtitles since at least reading it is easier for me to understand? My language is Spanish. Thanks again. Greetings.

[@naiman4535]

Richard Wilhelm was indeed a great and exceptional soul,. What got him to be more open and accepting of the traditional Chinese culture and way of life, it seems, was all the brutal, arrogant oppression of Western colonialism that he saw going on by the supposedly Christian nations of the West in China. Western so-called Christian "civilization" failing to practice even the basics of their religion in their relations with the Chinese - so much for JC's Golden Rule! If you want a Chinese perspective on all the crap of Western colonialism that the Chinese had to put up with, you can also watch the great Kung Fu movies of Bruce Lee and Jet Li. Bruce Lee was, besides being a peerless martial artist, also a great philosopher and a great human being as well. His counsel to us all? Be like Water (Trigram K'an / Hexagram 29 - K'an - Water, the Abysmal) my friend!

[@liangela9537]

很精彩的实地记录片。卫礼贤-劳乃宣，继马可波罗这种二手传说后，利玛窦-徐光启-李善兰式的组合模式。东方遇上了西方，欧亚大陆的文化翻译，交流，互学互鉴：伏羲-白晋-莱布尼兹-卫礼贤-荣格-终于出现了冯-伊诺曼的新数码文明时代❤🎉

[@lauraparadiso1820]

Hola serian tan amables de subtitular este documental tan valioso. Gracias

[@phoenixsasha2727]

why is there a second vocal track behind the main one? super distracting

[@DreamseedVR]

Because it was originally produced in Germany Because Richard Wilhelm was German duh.

[@rosiepsong]

Mr Lao is not credited as co-translator in the published book, not on the cover anyway.

[@thirion1850]

The background speech blends in with the translation so easily, it really muddles the narration and makes it needlessly difficult to discern.

[@schnuff11]

Sehr interessant aber leider ne schlechte Tonmischung!

[@dr.gaosclassroom]

It is very nice to find this video and excited to see the interests from the West for this ancient Chinese text. It is quite informative and well made. However, I feel a bit disappointed the documentary starts with the Buddhist images. Buddhism was introduced to China centuries later after I Ching had been established as an important philosophical and divination text. I Ching is so important to Chinese indigenous philosophies such as Taoism and Confucianism, it would be much more appropriate to start with Taoist or Confucian images.

[@cesarbertinetti683]

La gran y variada cultura del País del Medio , en su vastedad no puede permitirse cronicidad en su historia ético, espiritual , como le gusta al individuo occidental.Lo importante, profundo para el todo , no son las cronologías temporales , es qué de todas las esencias,perviva lo más importante para el todo . Eje. Confucio y Lao Tze, no fueron contemporáneos, sin embargo hay encuentros memorables , agregados a sus ya de por sí,vidas singulares .Este modelo de historia para el todo variado , da magnífico resultado. El budismo encontró el Taoísmo , este rebatia a los confucianos ,los Sofistas eran rebatidos ,así muchas corrientes de pensamiento ,tamizando en balance (filosófico) lo valioso para el todo UNO. Lo cronológico en occidente escupe espíritu e inteligencia humana siendo desastre para el Uno y el Todo, naturaleza,tierra toda . Hoy es bien visible...o no ? . Saludos.

[@lp88088]

Damn! Hard to hear and no cc.

[@rosiepsong]

2011 movie not 2016. Title is clickbait, movie is about the life of Richard Wilhelm. Not about I Ching, interesting though.

[@minireshala8171]

Can I get this in German language? Please 🙏

[@nitai154]

As a Baguazhang practitioner studying under a bonafide Grand Master I realize I Ching which is what Baguazhang is based off I see Baguazhang grants one a deeper understanding of this endless wisdom that non practitioners don’t have access to.

[@RottyMacbeth]

Does the man being interviewed ever get introduced?

[@thomasreynolds1387]

It was the ghost of Richard Wilhelm

[@aswinobby]

The original sound is too high, the dubbed sound is too low. Please remake the video to be better or it will disappoints many subscribers. 🙏

[@TheSailingangel]

I can hardly call this a "Riveting documentary" when for over the first half its simply a middle aged woman revisiting her grandfathers old stomping ground at a pace of a trudging ox towing a reluctant cart. Interspersed with indulgences of nice scenery and oriental soundtrack. Yes, all very ambient etc but "Riveting" ..? Hardly. somnambulent .. certainly . Lets see what the 2nd half brings . (if I can stay awake ) ps... two years of being posted and only 13 comments and 184 likes ..? (cough cough) Later ..after watching the whole film.... For conscious spiritual knowledge ... go straight to the final 20 mins. For an indulgence of a granddaughters affection of her grandfathers power ..watch the whole film .

[@prahslra]

Why so mean-spirited? For those of us who regularly consult and revere the I Ching, but know nothing at all about its preeminent translator, this documentary is - despite its flaws - a revelation.

[@friedrich-karlemmrich3835]

English und deutsch ! Gleichzeitig.. fast unmöglich zu zu hören, selbst bei größtem Interesse

[@user-nb3rb3nd3b]

❤

[@ctwpoco-oy6wu]

Why are the people of China so unfortunate? While most countries in the world have adopted democracy, Chinese people still have to suffer under a dictatorship.

[@DreamseedVR]

Thank Mao

[@nigel447]

and yes it does have a sense of humour

[@sarabrockett6202]

Your movie didn't explain much? i have studied the I ching teaching myself The Oracle finds YOU your correct on that And you have your own love experience with it It told my future and helped me from my past This may sound crazy but i found a hexagram that showrd Jesus coming NOT now but past when it was written I need to get in touch with an old sage if possible I believe I mastered the Oracle I just need contact with other people who studied thank you i hope you get this

[@ericgenaroflores7069]

The cosmic history chronicles updates the I Ching to cosmic levels and beyond. Footnote: when god wants your martyrdom she will kill you for your transgressions

[@xelaklement3367]

Ugh this is a shame, i understand german and english, so hearing both voices at the same time makes it impossible for me to listen :(

[@leeburkai9830]

Wilhelm was not a practicing Taoist

[@AksilRebis]

The soundtrack sucks. Totally hard to understand, even with headphones, with two people talking two languages simultaneously. Plus, it sounds like it was recorded inside a tin can. Dreadful.

[@leebrit2903]

Why publish it?. Why not keep the secrets to yourself if they are so magical?.

[@AmberJan.]

And why not sharing it? What an odd comment to make..
