The poorly translated print ad accompanying the video says "Mercedes Benz and Zazen both go on a seek for ultimate perfection in their own respective way." Are we seeking ultimate perfection? I think not. Those who seek perfection will be very frustrated with Zen. Those monks, assuming they are not actors, are not perfect.
The car, on the other hand, even if perfect, is just a temporary as the monks. In twenty years, it will likely be rust and rubble. "On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everything drops to zero."
on a positive note, the cinematography is beautiful.
sitting in an old VW and truly being present with your hurting ass, your greasy rear-view mirror and the rusty dashboard. Opening into the falling that is awakening to true beetlehood. That's more like Zazen.

I can tell, those are real Japanese Soto Zen Priests, not actors.
