Peace upon the most peaceful people in the world. Love Buddhists
Lovely. I really felt that the video managed to capture some of the subtle emotions that Guo Jun talks about.
Beautiful. Thank you. So nice to see Ven. Guo Jun again.
Gratitude for sharing this most wonderful of experiences... _/\_
I feel sad watching this video because there is so much evil in this world. Beauty, the spiritual life, the peace of inner stillness -- all these things are threatened by our out-of-control consumerism and its powerful exhortations to seek instant gratification. Hesse wrote about the disintegration of a civilization based on aesthetic discipline in his magnificent "Magister Ludi (The Glass Bead Game)" -- this video reminds me of Castalia, but more abstract and pure: a place still alive, still available to the seeker.
I've been yearning to become a monk... this added another log to that fire.
don't become a monk to escape life....only become one if you think it will benefit the world.
What a beautiful sharing. Thank you.
Shifu's goal of attracting higher quality monks has been not only met but exceeded.
woooww, what a video .... thanks for the producers and the monk or teacher who did the video.
very nice story and film making :)
I love chan meditation and this guys experience. Samael Aun Weor said, when we are meditating we should not divide ourselves between superior and inferior "I" because it is an illusion. If we want to unite ourselves with reality, shunyata, we should learn how to empty our minds completely, but this is impossible if we are fornicating and wasting the sexual energy. Master Samael's books are found online for free. He taught about legitimate white tantra and how to achieve complete ego death.

Is this server still working? I'm interested in Chan Buddhism
I've seen many RUclips videos but this is the first I've ever commented on. I attended three week long retreats with master Sheng -yen in the 80's.Based on my attendance he also visited the group I practice with along with many other centers. Guo Jun is obviously brilliant and skillful. However I intuitively feel he's not the real deal. This video is a slick and romanticized depiction of Chan ( Zen). Reminds me of Hollywood. Can't blame him for that, he didn't produce it, but still something doesn't ring true. Describing his enlightenment experience on a You Tube video strikes me as a kind of advertising to sell a spiritual product. This is not Chan. If it's helpful and inspirational to some folks that's great, I don't criticize that, but to me it's a red flag.Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia:
Financial management
During the court proceedings for the lawsuits faced, Guo disclosed that he has at least A$3 million in assets in 2009, and that he has a "different interpretation" of Buddhist concepts of austerity; he believes he should manage his own financial assets and expenditure, without disclosing them to the monastery or its management committee.[21]
Folks - this isn't Chan monk behavior. It's the outer without the inner.Master Sheng- yen may be turning over in his unmarked grave. I acknowledge that I don't have first hand experience with this situation and that there are complexities which I don't know about. Still....something just doesn't add up. To be fair I don't see Guo Jun as causing harm without having more direct personal experience, just that I believe the advertising element in the video is misleading and that he endorses that.
I don't get how the bit about him having a lot of money and not wanting to disclose it would make Shen-yen turn over in his grave?
Thich Nhat Hanh talks about his enlightenment experience in a slick and romanticized documentary Walk With Me so does that also arise suspicion for you?
@@ImStuckInStockton Because Master Sheng Yen was the quintessential monk with no possessions, money, or ambitions toward power and security.He depended on the sponsorship of a benefactor to create his Chan center in Queens. Guo Jun, if the story is true, accrued millions for his personal use. In itself that's not a problem, but as a left home monk under master Sheng-yen it doesn't add up.
@@ImStuckInStockton I haven't seen it. I've met Thich Nhat Hanh and he's absolutely the real deal.
Of course this clown is a fake!! Master sheng yen let this clown have his way probably because of some negative karmic affinity with him from some past life. Master sheng yen owed this foo from some past life.
He said that he is the forest and if he saw a rock he became the rock, what about a wolf ? or a bear if the bear attack him ?
Meditation in buddhism is good. Plz monks should avoid egg, meat,alcohol,married and living luxury life. Buddha said if you don't have any food to eat then you can eat meat. This comment is from the land of buddha lumbini nepal.

Nothing is special everything is ordinary....
That what make chan so fucking Beautiful !!!!
+Cao Tuan that is emptiness...
Everything is special because everything is ordinary.
This is the most correct view.
Let's just start with the illusion he's under that ''this world is sleeping.'' To shoulder the burden of that conceit is one definition of insanity. It denies what we are going through and our experience of it. This is perhaps a good way to endure suffering at times, but to continue to deny your life will catch up to you someday and you will realize you weren't living a full life.
Is Nirvana personal annihilation dissolving into the Absolute ?
You can never destroy your "self" as the self is consciousness, the all, eternal, infinite, but yes, the idea is to dissolve the ego, the limited view we have of ourselves - our purely mental constructs of personality.
Somehow though, despite enlightenment, our ego returns. But that's OK for some chan/zen buddhists, who see the nirvana experience and continuation of ego as all part of living a normal life.
@@yetanotheryoutuber4271 Can you tell me if in Buddhism there is no Absolute at all- not even NIrvana?
@@profile1251 Chan/zen is more like Taosim - they have a sense of The All, but other buddhists I believe have a different opinion but I can't accurately describe their view sorry as I'm no expert in Theravada/Mahayana buddhism.
@@yetanotheryoutuber4271 Fair enough. I am more interested in the experience of non-duality. Advaita Vedanta par excellence but also Chan/Zen, and Taoist perspectives. It's that this state really does exist and is more real than this dualistic 'reality' and that we can directly reconnect with it.
@@profile1251 I had the experience when I was younger, I became all things, in all places. It was blissful, and full of light. You can have the same experience by smoking 5-MeO-DMT (toad medicine) and sometimes with just DMT (as in ayahuasca).
However! "This state is more real than this dualistic reality"...Advaita Vedanta will call it maya, an illusion, and the non-dual brahman the absolute truth but I disagree as a pantheist.
As a pantheist we believe both realities exist although they are ONE. That you are brahaman/pure consciousness having an experience - you are exactly who you are supposed to be, and where you are supposed to be. Basically, liberation/enlightenment is not the goal and this dualistic reality is not an illusion - it's as real as the absolute, it's just the playground for the absolute ;)
Getting close to the absolute via breathing or meditation makes for a pleasant life, so worth doing, but we don't expect liberation.
Is he a Buddha?
idunno...I wonder if he's another TNH™
