Zazen For Beginners #9

[Kyosei]

Hi friends,

Some updates!

I'm bringing you the "Zazen For Beginners" #8 and #9 subtitled videos, and I wish to thanks all people involved in this project.

Today I've finished translation in Brazilian Portuguese to the "Tour Of Treeleaf" and "Zazen For Beginners 3". Check out, please!

Now still we have a good number of people helping in translating, the more, the better. Also we're in need of people for TRANSLATING the videos in another languages, specially the most spoken ones... like spanish, french or german, even japanese or chinese (though I still don't know how to put its special characters into a file YouTube comprehendsm but we'll figure out!). If you're a native speaker or have proficiency on another language, think of come together!

Thank you and let's going!

Hey Matt, thanks, in fact yes some help is needed here. We have Zazen For Beginners videos 12 to 24 still to transcribe. We're planning on deliver at least 2 videos for week, to keep it in a good pace. I think it's a reasonable time. Still, any help is welcome, please choose the video(s) you want to transcribe and PM me, I'll send you a little "guidelines" we're using here.

Thanks again.

No problem, glad to help. I will take a look and PM you.

Gassho,
Matt

Hi again, here goes the Zazen For Beginners VII:

Thanks for all who are contributing on this project.

I have transcribed one of the episodes for Marcos and found it to be a wonderful experience. I found that listening to Jundo's teaching repeatedly in 3 sec bursts, writing the words down by hand, then typing them up on the computer was very, very enriching. I can highly recommend this samu . Thank you to Jundo for the teaching and to Marcos for his selfless endeavour.

I agree with David, it is wonderful practice. Listening slowly and carefully, and writing out the words of our Teacher reveals depth that can just go zipping by when watching the video. We may not watch the videos with the same care that we give when studying a written text.


Look at these beautiful jewels from Zazen for Beginners, VII:


“The completeness comes when we drop all thought of incompleteness.”


“The way to be still and at peace is not by chasing after stillness and peace, but by just being perfectly still, coming to rest, being at home.”


“Dropping the search is finding what we were looking for.”

Friends,

We already have the videos: "Welcome to Treeleaf", "Tour of Treeleaf", the "Zazen for Beginners" videos I through IV and VI transcribed and subtitled in english.

Some volunteers taken the "Zazen for Beginners" V and VII through XI to transcribe. Which is great!

We have "Zazen for Beginners" XII through XXIV needing transcription volunteers,

And also translators for all of the already transcribed videos. With the english subtitles file it is easy to do, just replacing (translating) sentences in a plain text (.srt) file.

I'll do the Brazilian portuguese ones (unless 'till appears another brazilian portuguese native here...lol). But we are also in need of Spanish translators, French translators, German, etc... etc...

Volunteers?!

And here it goes the "Tour of Treeleaf" english subtitled.

And here it is Zazen For Beginners part VI.

[Kyosei]

Zazen For Beginners IV

Now we need people to translate that, too! Don't worry, it's really easy and a lot of fun (and learning!)

Also we are putting the Vows of the Bodhisattva into practice (I guess it is "ok" to say that, though I haven't had taken them formally yet), for the benefit of all sentient beings. Maybe for some people this is very special, as maybe they can't hear... or they haven't a good comprehension in english...

So, come together

Gassho!
