Japan The Way of Zen : Zen Buddhism Documentary

Pierre Brouwers has travelled the length and breadth of Honshu – the largest of the islands forming Japan – to provide an in-depth discovery of the “land of the rising sun”. Cities like Kyoto and Hiroshima are fascinating for their history. Everywhere, traditions are very carefully preserved, especially when it comes to festivals. But these days robots have largely replaced workers on car assembly lines and the younger generations lap up the innovations of the 21st century. The population, one of the world’s most dense, finds its balance in the words wisdom and harmony. Not forgetting the word that is the key to it all, Zen.

Eyes, nose, tongue, body and soul, contact with sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, streams of thought, without defilement, is the ultimate truth of Buddhism..

Zen (Chinese: Chán • Korea: Seon • Vietnam: Thiền) is a school of Mahayana Buddhism that originated in China during the Tang dynasty as the Chan School (Chánzong 禪宗, "meditation school") or the Buddha-mind school (foxin zong) - and later developed into various sub-schools and branches.

From China, Chán spread south to Vietnam and became Vietnamese Thiền, northeast to Korea to become Seon Buddhism, and east to Japan, becoming Japanese Zen.

I must say Japan is a masterpiece n a huge respect for them

[mirukaze]

At first I thought that what drew me to Japan was anime, tourist spots.. but it was really their way of life. The way they venerate life gives them a vivacious vibe. And it shows in their daily life, the structures, the food.. I wish I could live there and experience all of it.
