This is a very good and honest interview. So often 'religious' people try to come off as being some kind of 'perfect' beings who have transcended all worldly problems or whatever. Muho Noelke comes across as someone who just does what he does, nothing more, nothing less and doesn't present himself in any other way.
@Anonymous No questions are stupid... It means :laughing out loud laugh out loud, used as a response to something funny or as a follow-up to something said only as a joke: You can see from the pics that my dog did not appreciate how we dressed him up for Halloween this year. LOL!
We cut our hair to symbolize that we are working on our attachment to self, of which image is a large part, and that we are not different to any other member of the Sangha - the community in any Buddhist center or monastery.
Gomenasai, my name is Ken-Sama. I’m a 27 year old American Otaku (Anime fan for you gaijins). I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. (Disgaea, Final Fantasy, Persona series) I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day. I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100% When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Studio Ghibli or a game designer! I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond. Wish me luck in Japan!
The journalist looks so small .... I think the accent of the monk is too “terminator”, I wonder how it sounds to Japanese people. Thank God is a silent practice.
Those mealtime 'rules' are not really rules - they're just what's been found to work well and the group is fully into them so it's not as austere as it looks. Almost everything is cunningly designed to support solid practise, which is what everyone is there for at the end of the day. Practising in an environment without that sort of strict format is much harder work, the 'rules' actually make it much easier.
@@muho greetings. As someone who has embraced the culture, philosophy and spiritual values of a "foreign" people (in my case Hinduism), I can understand you better than most.
A real master? The Buddha, apparently ate pork right before his final passing. Buddhist monks eat what is given! That's the common practice. For that matter, it's a Christian teaching as well, to eat what is given, giving thanks... m(__)m
I am thankful for oxygen.... oxygen is the best thing!!! Breathing it feels so good, appreciating breathing is meditation. Feel the oxygen... appreciate its gift, in your lungs... breathing is qi gong.. nothing more.. though we envision movements of bodies.. it is only the breath... be a great breather! Even just breathing is praying.. heaven is oxygen... heaven is all around us... Air molecules, are angelic beings... there are trees in the air... become oxygen... by meditating on breathing.. breathing is actually becoming oxygen... Oxygen is always.. it teaches us and in doing so... we attain ecstasy.. not a pill.. but chi... Chamtzon Oxygen is amazing.. it is lifestream.. oxygen is worth our attention... it is the power of now... We can say oxygen is our first ancestor.. yet by appreciating oxygen, Aeris.. we can know more... bringing back ancient parts of the wind ... And helping all life on the planet. Its oxygen that is lifechanging..
This man and the work done there has helped inspire my practice to be done for the sake of doing it alone - there is such a charm of transparency to these practitioners who align with the world in this manner. In the coming years, I hope to be a contributing part of this wonderful community. I give a big thank you to Antaiji all the way from Atlanta.
A genuine guy who expresses himself wonderfully, and presents an inspirational picture of his belief and commitment. A beautiful documentary and lovely family.
In Japan Monks are only required to be celibate during training. After that it is not un-common for priest to get married and have children. Though there are still some sects where priests remain celibate after training, most no longer require it. In fact there was a time when the Japanese government pressured the monks to get married and have a family. It's considered being a part of society instead of apart from it, Training in life, not separate from it.
even sounds of chewing aren’t allowed. Enter Zen from there. You are hard core brother. Thank you for sharing this. Peace and blessings from NYCity. 🙏❤️

It is pretty strange to have him called "Noelke Muho", as Noelke his his former german family name. Correct would be Olaf (first name) Noelke (Family name) or just Abbot Muho.
This is the second time I've watched your documentary. Brad Warner did a video on Muho. I didn't remember Muho's name when I seen that video. When I watched it tonight I was happy to see this documentary again, now that I recognize it.
Congrats - Master Muho Nolke - what a wonderful life you have created for yourself and others ... you are buko ... a opening to stillness, action, and contentment ... Wishing you and your community growth, rest and peace!
Hi. Very nice living... :) I read zen first time about 6-7 years ago. Then i start my meditation and find my real and only style living better everyday. Lot is to do, so i can say i am better man then in young age or when i was children... Bless all munks and gurus. By: Zen Johanness
What about the fact that lots of all beings eat other beings? Isn't it being unaligned with them if you voluntarily do the opposite? Even herbivores eat other living organisms. What difference is there between two living beings? Conscience? Feelings? How do we know what feels and what doesnt, therefor what can be eaten and what can't? Nature designed itself to sustain istelf. Everything else feeds on other organisms. Why not you? Why is your judgement right and not the laws of nature?
I really hope more ppl will start living self-sufficient life ! I wanna become a zen Buddhist but in my own house in my heart in my soul 🙏🏻 thank you for this video. I learned so much more 🙏🏻 Danke Schoën 🙏🏻
"The greatest support people can give to Antaiji is by actually sharing the life and practice of the community on a long term basis. This however involves a commitment that few people will be able or willing to make." "Are there other ways to support the community?" "Yes, another way of helping us is to support Antaiji financially. We have annual expenses which range between 1.200.000 Yen and 1.800.000 Yen (about 15 thousand to 22 thousand US dollars)." Seems pretty straightforward.
But the house is like box Why not i see the sky with its stars moon etc Why i not i see trees grass stone In general i don't want closed walls and roof. I
Notice how the complex rituals of worship to Buddha are reduced to merely "giving respect" to him. They're so afraid of saying Buddhists worship Buddha that when such a thing is shown, they quickly say "oh, don't worry, we're just paying respect to him and his memory as if he was a family member that passed away, it's not worship!". Even Confucians don't have trouble saying that they worship the spirit of Confucius.
YBecks Because you haven't read the Pali canon or any of the Mahayana Sutras where he makes such worship clear. Heck, the Three Refugees is precisely a declaration of worship of him.
False, false and false. When you bow, you bow to the buddha spirit, hence yourself. Worship has never been part of Zen buddhism and almost any form of buddhism tbh.
I really hope you are not referring to Buddhism as "new age 'woo hoo'" considering it's the second oldest world religion.... And with the skepticism thing yes it is very important that is why Tibetan Buddhist monks practice is to the core. A Tibetan Buddhist monk will learn and practice under a priest for years and even decades before deeming him wise enough to be considered their teacher or "guru"
Why do I feel this beautiful monk is so similar to Brad Warner, from hardcore zen?? In his conduct, choice of video titles, and so many other things? Sparing the shaven head of monkhood, for sure. Did they learn soto zen from the same teacher?
It is beautiful that the Japanese Culture and Chinese culture allows others to practice their ways with them. I was under the impression for so many years that all other races were restricted from becoming practicioners of their ways. In Martial Arts, Customs, etc.
in Japan, it's normal to take baths like that, young children bathe with parents and wash, scrub, and enjoy the tub together. Usually the tub is larger then that, much larger then western bath tubs but that tiny size bath is typical for rural/very old buildings. to a non-Japanese it may seem very weird but it is our way of life and is often seen as character building thing, i scrub my fathers back he scrubs mine, mutual respect etc.
Come on , I grew up like that with my brother and father .we were very close ,strong bonded and it was part of character building. glad I have spent those days with my father and brother, as they both had died today , I did have beautiful childhood with beautiful memories for life to remember.
How to meditate - First become aware of all language/English that is in your inner mind in this moment for seven seconds in a row. Then you fully silence all language/English that is in your inner mind in this moment for eleven seconds in a row. Repeat for three times and do that a few times each day and you will see fantastic results! :)
When you rid your mind of your selfish self you won't be killing self-ishly for your own purposes. Life would still be in that body if you were not dictated by your selfish desires.
Thank you for such an honest & respectful treatment in this video. As such, it becomes informative & inspirational/motivational too, at a level very rarely achieved by non-Buddhist & almost never achieved in YT videos. I wish them continued successes at Antaiji, & many blessings, & I hope very much to visit Antaiji
Just some advice: stop looking at what others that 'know a lot' say, why don't you find out your own truth? meditation alone will help. But you will get nowhere by following blindly the excuses to cause suffering given by the so called 'religious' people and their definitions.
There's prayer and meditation in Zen Buddhism, I like your activities, I'm a Buddhist monk from Bangladesh, we want to free from suffering and Nirvana, Muho thanks, You are right way in Dharma, I support your daily life works,
Poor soul, not enough blessing, not knowing what to do and end up more being more confusing than layman. "Of the ten thousand evil acts, lust is the worst"
*loving kindness for small herbs trees and bushes, zen is a life in harmony with nature seeing all being as one and ultimately a dream - zen enlightenment*
They seem surprised about those potato peels being cooked. Season them well and they’re delicious! They’re traditional in my Mexican, not at all zen family.
Israel has always been open to everyone, the real israel is not a place of such violence, its a truly mystical place, divine wisdom shrouds it from the view of the corrupt society, it is shamanically dismembered in their portrayal but those who know who are true know the way, for it is never without, it is for all consciousness, we are all here
It's not a better translation at all. "Sitting just to sit" is shikantaza, that's only one way of practice, the Soto Zen way. Originally zazen was all about beholding mind. "Zazen" means "sitting (za) dhyana (zen)" but the Sixth Patriarch of Zen interpreted it as MIND SITTING. If your mind is sitting your body can dance and you're still doing zazen, but if your body is sitting in zazen while your mind is dancing, you're not doing zazen.
Then my friend, continue your murderous ways to free carcasses of life for you to be able to eat them. I guess it's ok for you to be murdered and eaten too as you are not your body either, guess you would agree also with mass murder of any beings for you to be able to feed your own BODY though. You should not even be eating and nourishing your body either if that is not important, if it's useless. I guess you need to get your confusion right. You should be looking up at the concept of everything

He has made his own form of ZEN. It is not the way they accepted practice. He has incorporated many of his own rituals which most schools disavow.
We cut our hair to symbolize that we are working on our attachment to self, of which image is a large part, and that we are not different to any other member of the Sangha - the community in any Buddhist center or monastery.
Monasteries tend to disallow relationships for some initial period of residency, but most orders throughout the world are OK with it.
wish the quality of film was better, still I appreciated the video... arigato ! _/\_
What was that first beat in the video that was really funky!!!
We should do our best to look for that "true self", and not worry too much about what humans do.

Seems genuine and heartfelt which is wonderful as most White Buddhists tend to be fashion driven, not real Dharma practitioners....
