How wonderful he understoods meditation can have side effects. I've been teaching meditation for many years and its always discouraging to hear other instructors presenting meditation as a 100% safe practice.
Hey what do you recommend for a safe Zazen practice? I've been following Katsuki Sekida book and so far so good, but I would like to know what to do to prevent or be alert to the possible side effects.
@@markgriskey sadhhuru is a charlatan that teaches nothing and is but a word salad. I don't even know what he means by enlightenment. It has nothing to do with the buddhist term as he is politheistic and buddhism is non-theistic. Fundamental difference
The woman at 1:07:00 is spot on. The martial attitude is a great tool and learning device to separate the wheat from the chaff within someone and get them straight and get proper habits developed, but eventually it does have to be regulated or let go in exchanged for a balanced method that includes compassion and loving kindness.
As a man of few words, this is dedicated to those who would practice 'zazen': ' just two meters before you, at a glance - is the dropping off point'. Lax:Re. How much simpler can this be? Thanks for this upload.
Tuberculosis? Hasn't anyone ever heard of "lung imbalance" from the Tibetan tradition when someone meditates excessively/incorrectly? "Self induced neurotic breakdown" sounds like a correct description.
I was in shock that a university would bring in a religious figure to talk, then he said social justice and i understood. My heart aches for the future of buddhism
These people talk about the idea of Zen as if it's an idea that can be talked about. I think the first mistake was that they began talking about it without talking about the fact that they are talking about it, instead of first of all making the distinction that it fundamentally isn't an idea and therefore cannot be talked about adequately. Blah blah, you get the point.
Also, humans basically cannot consciously act without the use of concepts, whether in sentence/language format or not. Even in meditation, one's brain uses concepts to draw attention to certain aspects of the mind and body it. The use of concepts helps the brain define what is part of a certain sensation, and where it is in one's space, and what is not. I think the larger problem with using language to understand or experience anything, including the practice, is that it simply denotes/refers to the practice in an approximate manner without embodying all aspects of it, ex. the feeling of air flowing through your nose.
I would like to comment (for what it's worth), but I'm sure some people will dislike me for it. Now I have huge respect for zen, Rinzai zen, monks,etc... otherwise I would not watch this video. But I'm a little confused, this man is certainly not a sholar of university level in my opinion, I've had courses at the university (In Europe) but the academic level was 100 times higher than this. He doesn't even not go deep into his subject. No real insights, nothing original. The most interesting is when he doesn't read from his paper and talks a little of his own experience. But imho, that's not at an academic level at all. I have the feeling this is a bit like the emperor's clothes, people tend to admire him because he is a zen monk, not because of what he says. So I don't want to insult this man, I'm sure as a zen monk he achieved something, like Satori for example. And please don't give me this nonsense: "yes the message is simple, but with your western mind, you are not able to grasp it". I'm deep into zen en Christian contemplation, I have read dozens of books so I do have a notion of it, and I know that simple phrases can contain huge wisdom. I just mean, he practically does not seem to talk in depth about his subject, answers besides the questions that are asked,... It's just strange to me
Ever heard about instant enlightenment? Time has no relation to spirituality. Some get it in a second others practice their whole life without getting it.

The real mvp right here

Daoism saved a Zen master. Fascinating.
Zen buddhism is amazing, especially when it teaches
through wise, short stories: ↕️

Sadhguru warns his followers of what might happen... The path to "Enlightenment" is not easy and it can turn your life upside-down
Take breaks ... and come back to the practices as needed ;}

Nonsense, properly practiced meditation can only bring benefit. Of course, meditation can mean many things to different people...

🙏🙏🙏 Thank you Matsubarasan. You habe given me so many anservs to my struggle in Zen Training in Japan. I wish you would give lectures in Europe.
zen is like tea, its not ment to be spoken about, nor taught, nor learned just drink the tea
So what have they been doing at the Zen monasteries? Just drinking tea? In fact some Zen treaties are deeply philosophical.
Fascinating
Thank you for sharing this! Insightful and wonderful 😊

Bald man from Saitama has immediate street cred nowadays. I'm just joining in, but thank you already for making this available.
🤣🤣🤣 well this explains so much of the things I have gone through. Thank you for the video
Seems like a great guy. I guess his Buddhist training must have worked.
🙏🍀❤ Thank you!
Anybody have a link to his handout?
Would anyone post a copy of the handout to go along with this? Much appreciated in advance....
The p'eng tsu description sounds incredibly close to shamata/jhana practice
Is it possible attend Rinzai Zen temple at Japan?? (not Soto, I would like to go within Rinzai shu)
Be light...water
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
thnks!
That Zen overeating tradition mentioned at 1:00:00 is truly bizarre.
Very nice.

He reminds me of ..,
29:55 sounds a lot like upacara-samadhi / access concentration
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Grow up you sad little person.
Why
Yes because Zen is about seeing original face, social justice will begin thereafter.

That's just an idea? Is that your own idea or someone else s?
feels ironic

Does he claim to be a university level 'scholar'? Your comment isn't particularly university level either.
Five years in zen training is nothing. An abbot, after 5 years? Preposterous!

New Age Sewage.
Beats old age sewage
So what sewage is your favorite?
We think we know what this is 🤣 what is it?
