To solve the paradox, one must realize something first. You can be satisfied even in unsatisfactory conditions when you realize your power to achieve and be satisfied with the moment's creation on your way. You can feel safe even in the certainty of death because nothing can threaten that which is beyond living. Conquer your beast fear of death and embrace life not as an escape from death but as the vast potential you hold and offer everyone you encounter on your journey to improve this shared experience.

I wish I had come across Zen Master Dogen's writings at the same time I discovered Kapleau's The Three Pillars of Zen. Kapleau made the training into a long and arduous task. Whereas Dogen said "Practice and Enlightenment are the same." That comment calmed me down and helped put me into the present moment. I no longer put Zazen in time. Great talk from Master Jinen. Thank you very much.
Hello Branden san, I was visiting Master Jinen last week, and he told me that it might be the time to record the second part of “Fukan-zazengi”. Please support again. Following to his encouragement, I am planning to host weekly Zazen session at Cleveland OH, USA. Best Regards, Shuhei
You know what's really strange? If you try to listen to him speak, it's hard to understand and very frustrating... but if you dont try to listen to him at all... and listen to the sound of the wind and the leaves and the chirping... then you begin to absorb what he's saying effortlessly. Try it. Focus on the background sounds.. and dont worry about what he's saying... eventually you realize that he speaks with the rhythm of the breeze. If you listen with your rhythm, he's hard to understand, but if you listen with his rhythm then you can understand him.
@@carllazarraga2858 this was playing while I was half awake half asleep and I kinda just absorbed the information. When I woke up, it was harder but when tuned out I understood him again.
Thank you for sharing your great wisdom about nothingness, I received it with gratitude Master Jinen and then in my Zazen I cast it away and my mind knew nothing and did nothing in my dharma vessel which I know is infinitely enormous in its infinite smallness right now because I am already Buddha and the way is all I am. Om Santi Om.
Why is this amazing Japanese teacher speaking in English? I don't understand all these film directors who spend so much time and money traveling to the most distant places, to meet the best Zen and Buddhism teacher, but then again, make them try to express their most profound ideas in a foreign language, the director's language. We can read subtitles!
Thank you Branden for your great effort at producing / posting these videos of Master Jinen for all to learn from. These videos are jewels... I am also interested in hearing more about your personal journey and possibly meeting Master Jinen.
Thank you so much for your positive response to the videos. If you find me on Facebook (Branden Brazil), I will send you a message about how to contact Master Jinen.
Thank you for your post, El-Branden Brazil. The spirit we sense from seeing and hearing a master of Zen is a greater teaching than their words, I think. I am an old man, and I remember how Shunryu Suzuki Roshi FELT, much more importantly than his words. Of course he didn't float, but it FELT as though he floated. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukan_zazengi
Love this guy! Every expression is a Koan in itself through his broken English and deep practice and wise mind. He is clear and compassionately unclear.
I realize now that who and what we are cannot truly be described in words because words are just concepts. Who and what are just concepts. They aren't what is. The world isn't spiritual. The world isn't material. Those are also concepts. I am, might be the closest way of putting it into words and even that is still saying too much. The best answer is to give a smile and a wink. ;)
Aye, your a good man! hey bro , I like you, but I walk my own path! My AwAkEnInG, happened a long time ago and I've been connected to what I needed! We are divine, and the sovereign self is a reality! We are the creators, Yeah! Expression does deepen perspectives and my path expresses me well! Great syntax! Impeccable even! Keep up the good work! I've been where you are! Good man!
You called yourself awakened and you labeled someone "good"... There is no good or bad in this realm of illusion!!! It's just your mind that tells it, and it means more ZAZEN❤🙏❤
You know what's really strange? If you try to listen to him speak, it's hard to understand and very frustrating... but if you dont try to listen to him at all... and listen to the sound of the wind and the leaves and the chirping... then you begin to absorb what he's saying effortlessly.
So you have to experience it through the practice of Days inn you cannot read and truly realize it you have to practice it and then through the difficult practice we discover the true enlightenment and who we are who
Hi everyone. Just one question: In the zazen we should keep eyes close or open?? I seen so many films, documents and many people looks like keep eyes close. As far as I know I should keep eyes open. Any suggestions? Tom
So you can never get enlightenment by intellectual understanding. Even though there's nothing to realise and everything is perfect the way it is now. I don't even know why I'm still typing maybe because intellectual understanding is easier then just sitting down and relaxing. Or my mind is on overdrive and cant stop. But if I don't have a mind and I am a mind what is there to be stopped. Words just don't help
There's no attachment the mind is a mirror the body tree is a place where we create a better existence in our minds pain and suffering is cute look upon oneself
I too would love it if he were to speak in Japanese instead with substitutes in English. His English is very good but we feel his expressive abilities might be limited. 🙏 Thank you so much.
I have discussed with him about this, but he wishes to continue this way. I think it is about being accessible to non-Japanese. In truth, Jinen Roshi just wants you to do Zazen.
The essential teaching here is that the annoying sound perceived as hissing through my speakers really does not exist at all it's only a figment of my imagination it's all in my head

Greatest teaching, in my point of view.
I was excited to hear it after reading your comment.
After I saw, I liked your comment even more.
I was brought to tears with that first minute+ of the video. They captured the buddha way so fully there
His eyes was shut, but he said must be open I’m confused
@@CapitanTavish You don't have to keep your eyes open, it can just be harder that way (at least for Dōgen) to achieve a non-thinking state.
@Jonerva - you thought your comment was so wise
it was pretentious
just delete it
He is so cute thinking of the right words in his accent and his smile. I feel happier just watching him speak.
it was annoying listening to him
i switched off after 5 minutes to read the comments
he sounds drunk
@@dprfail damn bruh chill
@@helloalanframe just shut up and stop virtue signalling
I feel like I went back in time and met a master in a small mountain village. Really.
a young soul in a old man body...such prestine, grounded and beautiful energy
Is he old? He doesn’t look old.
This is great! Master Jinen is just wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing!

@@carllazarraga2858 may be you are right. But it is too late for that. I will not watch again this video. It is not useful.
@@carllazarraga2858 this was playing while I was half awake half asleep and I kinda just absorbed the information. When I woke up, it was harder but when tuned out I understood him again.
I love how he describes buddhahood as safety. Never heard it said like that, but it’s so accurate.
Often in translations and the original suttas they mention the triple gem, buddha, dhamma, and sangha as a refuge
Thank you for sharing your great wisdom about nothingness, I received it with gratitude Master Jinen and then in my Zazen I cast it away and my mind knew nothing and did nothing in my dharma vessel which I know is infinitely enormous in its infinite smallness right now because I am already Buddha and the way is all I am.

The master's speaking shows that his mind is clam and peaceful, a lotus mind, Dharma mind.
Much appreciated lecture. thank you
Very wise with a young soul.
Not a young soul, not even a Soul. Just a clear and innocent Mind.
Thank you so much for sharing.
I am happy to see and feel this.

You are most welcome. We were chatting yesterday, about making new videos.
Thank you for this, really rare to find this material on RUclips
Lorenzo Muratori You are most welcome. There are other teachings by Jinen Roshi on my channel. Another video will be uploaded this month.
just by watching this video until the end we're already practicing Zazen
Not really, but it’s calming yes.
Yes really
If you are listening, shikantaza is there, in the silence between the words 🙏

He’s speaking in English because he can. There is no reason to get caught up in such minor details. Language is a means to an end not the end itself.
@@Uncover48 language matters...and his English is difficult to understand and is limited in expressive capacity. Subtitles would be far better.

Yes, it is what made the buddha the buddha is that which you honor...
A machine intelligence perhaps, or a very old spirit...

So you have to experience it through the practice of Days inn you cannot read and truly realize it you have to practice it and then through the difficult practice we discover the true enlightenment and who we are who
You have already found inner peace and are fully satisfied with them self they have found refuge in their own Island
He connect a lot of my dots quite well.... Universal explosions lol
I taught the truth to the pearls of great wisdom until the secrets to enlightenment
What is the sound of one hand clapping a Man without a face
I have always heard Zazen is never practiced with eyes fully closed. Interesting!!
When the body and mind becomes one we call that satori
🙏🏿
Hi everyone. Just one question: In the zazen we should keep eyes close or open?? I seen so many films, documents and many people looks like keep eyes close. As far as I know I should keep eyes open. Any suggestions? Tom
The eyes must be half open, calmly pointed to the ground or on the wall, with no attention to anything and no attachment to thoughts.
Thank you. I knew that instructions but don't be funny-even here master looks like opened his eyes. Thanks;)
Soon it will be time for me to move back to a temple. Gassho for video.
To figure out what life is you go through a series of practices which are extremely difficult
thanks to this monk and thanks to the monks that made the internet possible

He pursued he went outside the monastery to pursue the answer to his questions which is what is happening and they came back unsatisfied
Sounds like this what is the sound of one hand clapping anything beyond that is the difference between heaven and Earth
Satori the sage who seeks enlightenment
There's no attachment the mind is a mirror the body tree is a place where we create a better existence in our minds pain and suffering is cute look upon oneself
From meditation arises wisdom.
From action comes wisdom
How to experience enlightenment not a learning matter you cannot grasp it you cannot take pride knowing
I saw jinsen once on utube telling same story n as sn as i heard the cicadas i knew it was him.
For the first 59 seconds, I thought he was inhaling so deeply
He said it!
from 33:33 to 34:10
The Zen monastery
He was seeking enlightenment as he traveled to China then he went back to Japan back to the Zen monastery
That's what happens when they don't kill insects. Lots of nice music.
For you to kill the insects there is only one way to do that which is more ZAZEN🙏❤🙏
many insects

Japan is full of those mushi!
just one insect in many intances

So there's quite a contrast between Zen and Buddhism
Better than listening to the Venerable High Priest Monk Byatisvatiragi-Yiopan aka Roger Clarke from Basingstoke
Japanese monks are not celibate, not like other countries. I find it hard to understand because Buddha renounced his family (and his marriage).
