Have you seen him trying to sit still just for 5 minutes during his first RV trip when they went to do meditation? Dude can't stay serious to save his life lol
I absolutely understand how being vocal during meditation makes you feel lighter and better. It's the same thing when you scream out your emotion. But steadily and longer period of time which i'm assuming helps you keep the clear mind state for longer time. Being surrounded by nature helps as well...and that's just a fact that everyone in the world should know about. Get out alone to the forest to think and breath is something that been helping me with my depression and anxiety till i moved to place away from it...and everything came back. I'm glad you've done this to show us a glimpse of what monk life is.

The funny thing is Buddha ≠ God. When you bow down/prostrate yourself, it doesn't mean to worship the Buddha. Instead, it is to give honor to the way of life (Buddha), teachings (Dharma) and those who walk through the path (Sangha).
Buddhism has been more akin to a lifestyle than a religion because many do not see Buddha as a deity, but as someone who has, and continues after his passing, to encourage many to reach enlightenment. There is actually a type of Buddhism called Secular Buddhism where it is not based in a deity, but instead basing itself on humanist, skeptical, and agnostic values and valuing pragmatism and oftentimes naturalism, removing beliefs of the supernatural or paranormal. The texts are then taken in a historical and cultural context of the time they were written and read them under a rationalist and evidential views. Not saying you need to follow it, but with your interest in Buddhism as an atheist, this might be the type of Buddhism worth looking into.
My Great-grandmother was Buddhist and I would join her to "pray" infront of the Gohonzon when I was little... When I saw you read the Sutra I got so emotional that tears started rolling down my eyes remembering my abuelita who raised me while my mom worked day in and day out... Thank you for reminding me such beautiful memories! ❤
One of my favorite religions aside from Pagan ones (Celtic, Nordic, Hoodoo, Vodou, etc) would be Buddhism. I love how it's centered on the person practicing and not some higher being we must obey their very word. From a purely academic research view it's super super interesting.
Honestly Joey this is one of my favourite videos of yours! As brain rot as it sounds, I actually dedicated my attention watching this video. It's hard to explain but I guess I could also feel that sense of calmness wash over me just watching you pray and meditate. And hats off to you for doing something so difficult
As a Indian and born in a specific state in India where mahayana bhuddhism originated and was a major faith 1000yr ago but it’s totally gone out or moved to tibet if history wasn’t wrote wrong, to me japanese monks feel like sadhus who went to forest totally cutting they dependency on society, this practice was practiced in old India by few as a branch of main faith and main faith which is
I noticed that a lot of comments are claiming that buddhism is basically western secularism with meditation. This is not the case. Buddhism is filled with the paranormal. Theres a ton of spirits and gods within buddhism.
Suggestions for places where instructions are in English would be much appreciated! Or places for people with limited Japanese ability and some Romaji or English aid.
I really love the country side of Japan and the mountains, it’s really beautiful, thank you for sharing this new experience , I really enjoyed your videos , thank you anime man ❤
This was really insightful and great to see, thank you Joey & Team for making this video, this is definately something i would like to experience one day.
5:45 when I stub my toe in the middle of the night On an honest note, I think this is the first yt video that showcased monkhood and the Japanese style of Buddhism
A fascinating story, however interesting that even when you retreat to a Zen Buddhist Temple, we need the advert for TOKYO TREATS to pay the bills. We all balance the spiritual with the everyday.
I loved this video so much! Though I’m curious.. I heard once that Buddhism is more a philosophy than religion, and that anyone of any religion could also follow it. Is that true? Could you both follow Shinto and Buddhism?
I hope Joey and Garnt get to train as Shaolin monks and learn about Chan Buddhism in the sequel episode. Maybe a Trash Taste special in the Northern Shaolin temple?
So Zen breathing is really cool. You breath through your nose and you fill your belly ( actually 2 inches below your bellybutton ) and then you breathe out through your mouth. You get this sensation of more oxygen than you’ve ever had in your entire life. You’re filling your Dantian❤
11:00 "The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal bodeboop. A sing lap should be completed every time you hear this sound. ding Remember to run in a straight line and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark. Get ready!… Start. ding!"
Yeah! Hyperventilation followed by numbness - it forces your somatic system into calm mode (breathing from the abdomen). If you've never tried sheshin (spelling), essentially 8-hour breathing meditation, I fully recommend the self-torture session. And I still want that black Chainsaw Man T, so save me a L or XL, please.
Now this is what this channel should be like. It's great to see you do something Japanese instead of eating too much or risking your life in some damn fool stunt which you can do in any country in the world (ok there aren't volcanoes everywhere). The other boys couldn't do this as they don't speak and write Japanese well enough.
I actually "tried" that waterfall thing on an ice shower for funzies cuz intrusive thoughts. Yeah.....not fun, instantly imagining if it were a real waterfall id be dead 💀 Gasping for air is the main thing, and yeah seems like keeping calm and mindfull of ur surroundings while breathing properly seems the way to go, cant manage to do it though that shit's hard if ur too into ur daily life never taking a step back and breathe properly
I am an atheist but Buddhism is the real deal. Sure, as it manifests in various cultures it accretes various ceremonies and superstitions. But at its core is an upgrade to the human operating system. Buddhist philosophy is an amazingly accurate description of the human condition and the way out of suffering. And it’s not just a bunch of commandments or beliefs, meditation and the mindfulness it cultivates gives you the means to investigate and verify it claims for yourself.
11:19 is giving me ptsd from having to do the Pacer test in P.E. in American schools. 😅 I never want to do thoese again. I hated it and so does everyone else.
Something to note about religion in Japan is that religion doesn't mean same thing as it does in many other parts of the world. Most people don't see Buddhism, for example, as the only belief system to follow day to day. In fact, most follow both Buddhism and Shintoism simultaneously.
For anyone interested, thich nhat hanh is an amazing Buddhist monk who has very good meditations and life lessons, if anyone wants to just relax and meditate, he is a very good teacher and leader. :)
Next Trash Taste episode Garnt will evaluate and give props to Joey, then they'll drag Connor while him saying he is already halfway a monk due to balding.
this is prettty awesome man definitly watched vinland saga XD nah im kidding lol but that is awesome it does have the vinland saga feel kind of this seems very good
I'm nearly done watching. I wonder @Joey did you take any practical skills from this experience? As in, to add to your life style or permanent personal improvement.
Dude do a week next, and then a month, but watch out the simplicity of life and joy you get daily from helping people and continually training to get Better at helping people is addictive ;) :) ❤🔥☸
That experience when your mind and body is focused on 1 single thing without any worries of the world is the best feeling ever. I often get that experuence when swimming and recently when doing evening jog as well

shaving the head won't mean as much for that one
Connor is just wukong
Have you seen him trying to sit still just for 5 minutes during his first RV trip when they went to do meditation? Dude can't stay serious to save his life lol
He is already balding i guess that monk in progress
No phone, no nothing. Just talking into this camera and mic.
Be bald or watch anime.
Joey:
real bro😭😭😭😭
Once Joey went under the waterfall and his hair flattened down... he looked like a protagonist to a 'cultured anime'.
bruh lol that is not cultured though
Finally!

日本は基本的に折衷的(Eclectic)な文化で、よく言えば外部から取り入れたものを組み合わせるのが得意だと言われます。ところで、日本の歴史はかなり平和で、戦乱の時代とされる室町時代や戦国時代においても一般民衆への被害は限定的で、実際その400年間に人口は倍増しました。また江戸時代には治安もよくなり、長い平和の時代において職人文化が成熟したとされます。日本はもともと古代から中国や朝鮮やインドの文化を採り入れた折衷的な文化でした。例えば、神道は仏教と道教と儒教の影響が色濃いです。日本人は原理原則に基づいた首尾一貫性よりもそうした懐の深さを重視する傾向があります。そんな折衷文化が成熟して頂点に達したのが江戸時代です。だから日本人は職人をとても大切にします。
日本人の年末年始の過ごし方は有名な話です。クリスマスを満喫したかと思えば、年末は除夜の鐘を聴くなど仏教的に過ごし、年始には初詣という神道的な習わしをおこないます。日本人に信じる宗教を尋ねると、3割の人が仏教、3％の人が神道、1%の人がキリスト教と答え、残りの人は無宗教と答えます。一番人気な宗教を強いて言えば仏教ということになりますが、仏教と答えた人も大半は大して信じてないと思います。だからといって日本人は宗教心が無い訳ではなく、万物に霊魂が宿ると信じるようなアニミズム的な思想が根強く、その一環として色んな宗教を採り入れているとみなすのが正しいと思います。
日本の仏教の特徴を挙げるとすれば、葬式仏教と大乗仏教優位と独自の密教と神仏習合です。
葬式仏教とは葬式や供養の時だけ仏教を利用するという意味で、本来の原始仏教や系統的な仏教とは別物と言えます。
大乗仏教はこの世の法を悟ることを目的とする本来の仏教とは異なる人々を救済するための仏教です。大乗仏教はインドに始まりチベットや中国やミャンマーや日本に伝わりました。海外で人気な禅宗もその1つです。だから日本で本来の仏教を学び修める方法は限られています。
密教は現世利益を目的とする特殊な仏教で、呪術や儀礼を特色とします。日本の場合は山岳信仰と結びつき山奥に寺があることが多いです。
神仏習合は神道と仏教の融合です。実際に寺の隣に神社がある場合が多いのです。ただし、明治時代の廃仏毀釈により仏教は迫害され、多くの神社と寺は分離されて神社は国家の管理下に置かれました。天皇制と神道を結びつけるためにそのような政策がとられたのです。
TL;DR?
へー

Always been an athiest but buddism and monks are so inspiring. As someone with diagnosed cptsd and the struggles that come with, i respect this piece of culture so much.

Multiple atheism turn into Buddhism not because they believe in something but because there is no worshipping culture of a non existing all being
The funny thing is Buddha ≠ God.
When you bow down/prostrate yourself, it doesn't mean to worship the Buddha. Instead, it is to give honor to the way of life (Buddha), teachings (Dharma) and those who walk through the path (Sangha).
Which is why I admire Buddhism teachings
Buddhism has been more akin to a lifestyle than a religion because many do not see Buddha as a deity, but as someone who has, and continues after his passing, to encourage many to reach enlightenment.

What Gautama Buddha taught was very dry. Tibetan Buddhism is very ritualistic.

I also meditate using a small book with a sutra. It's called nam myoho renge kyo, from Nichiren Buddhism. I should do it more often though.

Aye, the real reason people used to drown in ye old times is not the inability to swim, but the cold emptying their lungs on diving.

15:24 no wonder I recognized that phrase... I heard that from Himejima Gyomei first.. man it's interesting experience though
