A Teaching From Zen Master Jinen

[Seiryu]

This came up on my Youtube feed.

Interesting so I thought I would share.

Thank you. This is Soto Teacher Jinen Nagai.

There are English subtitles in one clicks on the box at lower right (next to the clock).

Gassho, Jundo

Hi T,

Iruma-shi is in Saitama, close to Tokyo. I do not know much about him at all beyond this video which I have seen before, or where Annonji is.

Jinen-san was ordained by Zen Master Jikan Inoue in 1983 and practiced under Zen Master Sakkai Harada from 1988 at Hoshinji Monastry until becoming head priest of Annonji temple. Jinen now teaches Zazen at Annonji in Japan, and in Hawaii and Australia.

Seiryu, thank you for this ... I have seen this video before and enjoyed very much. I liked, "what is truth? Truth is the truth without truth."

Thanks Seiryu. I've seen this before, too, and feels like the "true" aren't the words but his laughter.

Yes, the subtitles help a lot. When I first saw the video clip I didn't know about the subtitles, so I had to stop, rewind listen, stop, rewind, listen.
