Life in a Japanese Zen monastery

- Peter Barakan interviews Muho Noelke, the German abbot of Antaiji in 2011.
Antaiji is a Zen monastery located deep in the mountains by the Japanese sea. The monks commit themselves to the practice of seated meditation and the study of the Buddha's teaching in the tradition of Dogen Zenji and Sawaki Kodo Roshi. The community also cultivates the fields around the monastery, cuts grass and trees and does construction work to keep self-sufficient.
Muho explains about zazen, community life and the relation between teacher and student. Another controversial topic is the precept of not-killing and eating meat.

Great :) This is actually the video through which I found out about you. Thanks for sharing. Grusse Adam
I want to come! Will come whenever I get the chance to come to Japan
Thank you for your videos and sharing your knowledge with us.
I live in Osaka and I’d like to have a pleasure of visiting the monastery and learning more about Zen.

Are you still in Antaiji? Or living now in Osaka? Where could we meet you to practice Zazen together?
I am living in Osaka since 2019. You can find the information about my zazen group in Osaka castle park here: antaiji.org/en/muho/events/
@@muho thank you very much!
Hello!
To join the zazen group at Osaka castle, do we need to bring something with us (zafu, yoga mat, etc) ?
One day I will also be in a Buddhist monastery. Zen or a different lineage. One day.
Better not to wait too long. Today is the day to practice!
@@muhoThank you for your reply! I practice every day, but somehow the daily life still takes its toll on you. It's hard to keep your mind still and focused with so many things around you
Can people come to have a vipassana courses in this beautiful place ?
No vipassana, but pure Zen:

Eating meat is very healthy. Unusual to be guilt tripped into eating it instead of the other way around. But fortunate none the less.
Peace and strength to you : )
