Buddhism is the most profound and wholesome education directed by the Buddha towards all people.
Absolutely blown away by the wisdom of the nuns. "Be present and focus on what you are doing at the moment". Thank you so much to bring Chan Buddhism nuns to us.
If China could spread Buddhism more in the world I think it would be really a great thing. It's a good way for many to live especially with climate change.
Love it
"Target is not enlightenment but is living happy life."
I started my path into being one with the 道 and I have been practicing 気候 in order to bring balance to my 陰陽 to achieve a true state of 無為, and practicing 座禅 has made me closer to my journey to become an arhat
wishes full fill your hopes
I am Indian and my ancestral village is on the banks of the same river Niranjana (Phalgu in modern nomenclature) where Shri Gautam Buddha attained enlightenment.... I can find so many things of this temple resonate with my own culture and teachings....
1. Meditation - it is definitely - THINKING NOTHING! it is the hardest thing to do.. It raises awareness about ourselves It is there in the Yoga and Atharvaveda.... The Aranyakas (forest dwelling monks) have also highlighted this.... The Bikkuni (Bhikshuni in Sanskrit) of this temple also underscores the same idea.
2. Contemplation - It is thinking about multiple points at same time. It is easier than meditation but has its own flavor in the Yoga... It raises ones awareness about environment around. When the monks and bikkunis walk with moving only right hand while keeping other hand kept still, they are exactly contemplating. It is best if contemplation is carried outdoors which is exactly what they are doing.
3. Well then there is concentration which is not mentioned here... it is about focusing on one point - one goal.... this is lowest level of Yogic exercise... attainment of which many find as fulfilling who are involved in physical charm of the world.
What resonates with me is the idea of Zen, Chan or as we call it - OM..... They are different names of the same idea... that is to find your inner self.... believe me it is hardest thing to do.... i agree u dont have to be hermit to realize ur inner self..... but u can experience it by channeling energy in ur mind and body optimistically.....
India abandoned Buddhism(every sects) for about 1000 years~~~
@@user-hf5oy5zw3h No, Buddhism still exists in India, although not as widely practised as it once was... There are Chakma Buddhists in North Eastern India and Navayana Buddhists in Central India. According to 2011 census, about 8.4 million Buddhists live in India

How beautiful. . .thank you for sharing. .
Oh man this was awesome. It's hard to get docs on chan. Everything's on japanese zen
Phranzis_3 use chinese and connect it with Taiwan and might be more accessible. 禪。
I have a great lecture, but it is in Russian! :(
Same thing??
Sure, because Japanese Zen is quality. Chinese Chan in impure, mixed with Communism, conformity, greedines and superstition
Zen originates from chan
Seems more like an exploration into Steve Job's inclination to zen!!

'Chan' is derived fr Dhyan ( Sanskrit)...from India. It was brought to China by Bodhidrama, a monk gr India to China...
However, many contents of Zen are not found in Indian Buddhism, because Zen is the result of Buddhism absorbing Chinese Taoism and Confucianism. It took China a thousand years to sinicize Buddhism. Therefore, some people even say that Chinese Buddhism is not Buddhism because it has changed too much
Thanks
This is so beautiful
開悟就是要從人造的語言文字的認知回歸到天生的眼、耳、鼻、舌、膚的覺知，應而不藏，無記無憶，就活在所謂的空之中。
Awesome!
❤❤❤
Right now in time, for myself and my growth, I am to be in silence. I accept my life here also because I love the people. Ultimately, we are not meant to be in silence alone and have blank minds. Our thought knows we are alive and something. Why that blank thought for those moments? Is something being erased, or are the people going higher to something that is not of this earth?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Inspiring
It's a really wonderful journey with you. Learn so many wonderful new things, hope it will give a positive impact on my life. Thanks for taking me there. Namo Namo
Wonderful
While it is true than Chan was taken from China to Japan, Bodhidharma first brought it from India to China.
Gyan yoga is origin of Zen meditation, practiced well among students of Nalanda University india till 12th century, the university was destroyed by turk invader Bakthiyar Khilji. Dhayana leads to Gyana ( Zen) , Gyana leads to perfection. Thus Chan Zen meditation is powerful. ☸️🙏🇮🇳🇨🇳🇯🇵
Thank you very much 🙏
眼、耳、鼻、舌、膚的認知是覺的認知就是性，所以是覺者，而語言文字的認知是心的思想，所以是思想者、記憶的反射者，就是妄想者，莊子所謂去性而從於心，要開悟就要去心而從於性，應而不藏，就是沒記憶，而語言文字必產生記憶，沒語言文字必定無記憶，就是所謂的空。
GREAT VIDEO....WELL DONE !!!!!!!!!!!
Go directly to the root and research JNANA, from the most ancient culture in the world, the Indian VEDIC culture 😊
I would love to be there
@1:45= Chan= Kicked, Cold, Snatched, Carries, bright(= Chal- Ran- Han.../ Side Dish of Ban- Chan or feast, Man- Chan/ They supported 10, 000( multiple tasker s from warrior kings to ancient Scholars hobbyist...). They saw from own opinions and experiences.
It is a high thing to be able to teach silence.
So Steve Job do simple happy life after get "such creativity" ?
wonderful doc, very cool :)
walking is the hardest for me

Wow!
Bodhidharma was an Indian Buddhist Monk who founded Zen/Chan Buddhism in China. There is a lot of evidence of him now in China m.ruclips.net/video/ucmXm5WdFnw/видео.html. He even taught the monks Shaolin Kungfu is based on the yoga poses (ex. warrior and animal poses in yoga) that he taught the monks to alleviate physical problems from long stretches of meditation. That is why people who practice yoga learn the poses first, then they move on to meditation for longer periods.
Chup re lavde... Zoot mat faila.. Itna tha to bodhidharma ko follow karna tha
☺️
So gorgeous nuns I fall in love
this is so beautiful
Amazing ! The Buddhism was spread by great mauryan emperor Ashoka from India to rest world.
Dave WA Asoka was the king of Magadh (present Bihar and West Bengal). And yes Buddha was a prince of Nepal
well... Gautama Buddha was born in Kapilavastu, Lumbini... Yes this district today lies on the border of India and Nepal but back then there was one India in 6th century BC, divided into 16 Mahajanapads but bonded by same culture and belief in Dharma........ Buddha along with Mahavira Jain and Makkali Gosala were among founders of various religions ( 62 in total, apart from Vedic religion) where new thinking of Dharma developed. There was no Nepal then.....but Bharat existed even then from Afghanistan (Gandhar in Sanskrit and Pali texts) to Bihar (Magadh in texts) and from Kashmir to Godavari..... Yes we have borders now which are existing from last 60 or 70 years...... but that can never belittle the culture of India that exists in these lands even today - be it Nepal, Afghanistan or Bangladesh.... Those people who deny the culture of their very own land like Pakistan does... they perish in history as Pakistan is perishing..... I hope Nepal does not
@wrong notes exactly there was no nation states back then, it was same culture of India which even today is present through language, religion, philosophy and liking for similar sports and cinema... But u cannot deny that it was not India... All other small nations or regions which cudnt become part of India doesn't mean they don't follow Indian culture!
@wrong notes Indus Valley Civilization existed between 2500 BC to 1750 BC. Greek Civilization started between 1200 BC and 900 BC. Greeks never existed during the era of Indus Valley Civilization. Just don't make stuffs or imagine history. Indus Valley Civilization is named so because of the river valley it was found in by the excavators and archeologists.
@wrong notes and dude educate yourself in history. Khas people are known to be different branch of Aryans, entirely separate from Vedic Aryans who mainly inhabited in the Indo-gangetic plains. Whereas Khas people inhabited in the mountainous region of Himalayas. Also the arrival of Khas people is said to be at later to that of the Vedic Aryans
It's that easy
are we really gonna ignore at @6:15 the subtitles say "octopussy"
Zen (== Chan (== Jhana
Japan (== China (== India
That’s where the tradition started
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Can we get a stay here .
There is no more confusion than to believe one is enlightened. Once believing you are enlightened is to arrive at a destination, a delusion created by ones own mind.
要開悟就要知道，用眼、耳、鼻、舌、膚去認知；與用語言文字去認知，兩者相去遠矣，不可不察也。
No Body,No Mind,No Spirit.🙏
So interesting to see how, even in China, the way Buddhism is presented emphasises its productivity first - Steve Jobs is referred to, even before Buddha or Bodhidharma. Zen/Chan becomes firstly a way to improve and better hone one’s business acumen. If we truly are a ‘consumer culture’ then perhaps this isn’t surprising - but should Buddhism be commodified and adapted to conform with and respond to prevailing market trends, or should it be trying to transform and ultimately transcend them?
Is there a website of the temple? Or an email? Or something? Thank you

我是一個默默無聞的開悟者，我專注於老子、莊子、稽康、六祖壇經、鈴木大拙、景德禪燈錄的研讀者，我只讀原著、我至今還沒發現有真正的開悟者，所謂言語道斷，還一直停留在人造的語言文字上，就無開悟的機會。

when dude looks at his hand and discovers chi is real is! Look at his face he is like "Waite this stuff is real" and there all like YUP!!! 17:38
Does anyone know where I can find the specific chanting songs in the video?
To think nothing is not meditation
中国辽宁海城道源寺? this is liaoning province, haicheng, daoyuan temple?
❤👍☺️🎨👨🎨🥰🙏
Just one question is there party branch in this temple? If there is, then there is no zen here.
Hsiao Ling would it be beautiful, if Chinese leaders would focus on the country’s economic development to eradicate proverty and diseases and leave the mind development to their ancient spiritual heritages ? How magnificent can China be and communism would not be a curse to humanity!!!
日本的坐禪在六祖慧能看來是末流也

Zen this words come from Jhana (pali or Sanskrit language)
Actually this school of Buddhism in Sanskrit is called as Dhayana Buddhism... Dhayana became "Jhyana" or "Jhan" in Pali and then across the Himalayas in China this word became "Chan" from "Jhan"... And further in Japan it became "Zen"
@@apurvaj3319 pali language - Jhana Sanskrit Language Dhyana
PALI AND SANSKR!T CANNON IS SAME ESSENTIAL!!!
Cultivation is changing the way we think, speak, and act towards people and matters from an erroneous way to a proper way.
We love Buddhism
🙏
Chan 禅 is the original!!!
The Shaolin Temple is the PLACE where the very beginning of Chan come from
Zen buddhism didn't originated from China nor Japan. Bodidharma was from Southern Ancient India and his teacher was a woman, Prajnatara, who was from Eatern India (probably around Kashmir). The word "Chan" is a chinese pronunciation from sanskrit "Dhyana".
Do you know the sixth master of Zen Buddhism,Hui Neng ?
and his teaching~
Boddhi dharma gurus guru is Arya Nagarjuna the founder of Madhiyamaka school.
I am an indian buddhist and nowhere in India is Zen buddhism practised. We follow Mahayana and Theraveda sect of buddhism here not Zen buddhism .If it really originated in India we would still see traces of Zen practice in India. It exclusively belongs to China and Japan. Zen buddhism originated in China then spread to Japan.
@@kelvinsuarez2891 You are correct. I think the previous writer got confused because dhyana and chan both mean meditation, but Chi'an also means a specific school that developed in China.
Without Zen I wouldn't be "here"

開悟的人實在是太少了，尤其是在這這個時代，一大堆自稱是禪師的，其實對禪也只不夠是門外漢罷了！
Red Guard is always lurking below surface, mebbe a lot more chan will remove it permanently.
I would never mention Jobs or any Western source. This is such a beautiful temple and the interview with the Abbess is so insightful.Thank you but stick to Buddhism as practiced in China and how it has coexisted with Taoist spiritual practices for more than 2000 years.
Best scientific religions are Buddhism, Hinduism and Sufism
