Final video

Inside Eiheiji

Please see real,I said again.

This video is not so beautiful,as document by BBC.

But I practice at here.Sometimes hard easy,happy cry,cold hot,dirty clean.

This is real.As same as your practice.

If you think Jundo is special,you need to meet him.(Or touch him on
internet)
He is good person,but not god.

THIS IS REAL.
Youtube and BBC and CNN is not real.Also NHK is not real.

Touch your wise mind,deeply inside.

See you Saturday!

Very nice videos, Kakunen. Thank you for taking time and showing them to us.

Who needs BBC when we have a monk broadcasting?
Let's call it "Bodhisattva Broadcasting Channel"

It looks like there's nothin special about it, other than what we think of it.

Just a small point of history:

It is not actually in quite the same location as in Dogen's time (having been moved to a different place in the valley) and, of course, the buildings have been rebuilt many times (usually after terrible fires, including in attacks by religious fanatics in the past. Its oldest standing structure dates from 1794.) So, the more tradition is maintained, the more it confirms that all things are change.

By coincidence, last week, I happened to come across an updated webpage about my Dharma Grandfather, Niwa Zenji (Nishijima Roshi's Teacher), who was the 77th Abbot of Eiheiji and the Head Monk of Soto Shu for many years. The page is in Japanese, but features his artwork and calligraphy, so here is a simple translation:

https://eiheizen-jimdofree-com.translate.goog/%E6%B0%B8%E5%B9%B3%E5%AF%BA77%E4%B8%96-%E4%B8%B9%E7%BE%BD%E5%BB%89%E8%8A%B3%E7%A6%85%E5%B8%AB/?_x_tr_sl=ja&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Here is his big, formal portrait. I cannot afford a fancy Kesa like that, but gradually my eyebrows are getting longer and whiter ...

Gassho, J

Beautiful, Kakunen. Thank you for sharing these videos. Can I ask a favor? As you were entering the first building at Eiheiji, in the big room with the colored tape on the wooden floor, there was a painting on the wall in front of you, which did not get captured in your video. Would you please take a photo of it, and of any other paintings you might see, and post it? ありがとう
