Hosted by filmmaker Yujiro Seki, Carving the Divine TV is a series of Q&A sessions with Buddhist scholars and practitioners. These Q&A sessions explore the basic concepts of Buddhism and the history of Buddhism so that when viewers finally watch Carving the Divine they will get the maximum value of the documentary. Today, we will have Rev. Meido Moore Roshi, the abbot of Korinji (Rinzai Zen training monastery) to discuss the basic concept of Rinzai Zen Buddhism.
We will ask important questions such as:
1. What is your personal definition on Zen?
2. What is Rinzai school? What is unique about it?
3. What is exactly Koan practice?
4. Who is the Rinzai founder Eisai?
5. How does Rinzai Zen use Buddhist sculpture in practice?

Meido Moore Roshi is the abbot of Korinji (www.korinji.org), a Rinzai Zen training monastery near Madison, Wisconsin. He is an 86th-generation Zen dharma heir, and a 48th-generation holder of the Rinzai lineage transmitted to the West by Omori Sogen Roshi, perhaps the most famous Rinzai Zen master of the 20th century.
Meido Roshi's book The Rinzai Zen Way: A Guide to Practice was released by Shambhala Publications in 2018.
"What is Rinzai Zen?" With Abbot Meido Moore Roshi #carvingthedivine
Very interesting. I practice at a Rinzai temple in Los Angeles, after having practiced at the main Soto temple here in LA. The instruction I received, as a layman, focused on the proper form of practice (how to sit zazen, how to move in the temple), and to "let the experience wash over you"--that's it. (We don't do koans as our temple does not currently have an abbott.) So, this abbott's reference to "vibrations" and so forth is different from our Rinzai practice emphasis here.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. It would be wonderful if we could bring the documentary film Carving the Divine - Buddhist Sculptors of Japan to your zen temple/s in LA. I'm very positive that your community will find the film fascinating. If you are interested, please email us at info@carvingthedivine.com

I stumble on this exactly one year after posting.
Daniel Lovett I’m excited that you found us! I hope you enjoy our show! www.carvingthedivine.com
This is a good talk and I have both of Meido's books "Rinzai Zen" and "Hidden Zen".
But it is more accurate to call Meido's teachings Hakuin Zen. Rinzai (Lin Chi), had a very simple technique of paying attention to what it was that was hearing, seeing, touching etc. Hakuin Zen is a lot more work than Lin Chi Zen.
Gassho...!
