Japan The Way of Zen : Zen Buddhism Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 тра 2016
- Pierre Brouwers has travelled the length and breadth of Honshu - the largest of the islands forming Japan - to provide an in-depth discovery of the “land of the rising sun”. Cities like Kyoto and Hiroshima are fascinating for their history. Everywhere, traditions are very carefully preserved, especially when it comes to festivals. But these days robots have largely replaced workers on car assembly lines and the younger generations lap up the innovations of the 21st century. The population, one of the world’s most dense, finds its balance in the words wisdom and harmony. Not forgetting the word that is the key to it all, Zen.

Respect to the beautiful Devine spirit of Japan and peace and harmony of the Japanese people.
Love from Missouri USA.
Buddhist from Bangladesh and I just love Japan. My dream country 🥰
Japan's culture, people, geography and history are utterly fascinating!!!! Great video!!
I am fascinated with Japanese culture, poetry. I admire people for preserving there customs ,respect for nature,land.
*their
I do too. But you know it's funny because of their unwillingness to mix with other races, cultures and globalize they've been able to do so. But when we try to do the same in other parts of the world it's called racist, antiquated, and nationalistic.
Japan don't let foreigners getting rid of their culture and their nation unlike western europe. pretty based
I feel the same way buddy
"i am", "I".. Good for you buddy. Start using less "I's" and focus more on actually persevering cultural heritage and respecting nature
As an Asian living in Asia, I respect Japan culture and their Shinto-Buddhist traditions. The Japanese Zen aesthetics are refined and there is so much respect for nature. Because they are so homogenous, they have a strength and identity second to none. The highly ritualised Japanese must have so much pride in their advanced and refined culture and traditions. They are truly the most advanced culture in Asia.
tvee I'm Asian and I admire Japanese culture. They excel in so many things.
tvee except they stole most of their culture from China. Including zen.
I personally would have said that they adopted culture from China as opposed to stole it. I mean concepts of Buddhism that China has, (if you say stole with regards to Japan), is then stolen from the Nepalese/Indian area because that is where Buddhism originates due to Hinduism.
Personally I love the way that culture evolves and adopts and adapts to what is around them. The fact that the Japanese on a whole work together and work hard for their community and their workplace is admirable.
That said, Shintoism actually has its' roots in Japan. At least that is what I remember from studying.
tvee why while wait i am gloominess bitterness enrage vexation panicking confused because European ancestry love life in the universe believe in almighty Creator God ?how about written protestion for the living souls?
日本是值得敬佩和尊重的国家，虽然面临巨大的地域问题，但其文化和制度将坚强地保护人民的生存发展，让人民生活得幸福而有尊严。这种幸福和尊严即使某些更富有的国家也达不到。
Eyes, nose, tongue, body and soul, contact with sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, streams of thought, without defilement, is the ultimate truth of Buddhism..
I was searching for Zen philosophy. Still this is too good.
タイトルを見て勉強しようと思い見始めたらどんどん見てしまいました。UKでロックダウン三度目で里帰り去年は出来ず今年も出来そうな気配がないですね。日本人の私でさえまだ見てないものや行ったことのないところが綺麗に良く撮影されていてナレーターの声も心地よかった。🇯🇵 て何て素晴らしい独特な気高く美しい文化なんでしょう。誇りに思います。どうか早くころなが収束しますようお祈りします。yoko 💕
Although there is very little about Zen Buddhism, this is a lovely video. Gorgeous colors and filming. A good narrator speaking voice and writing.
I enjoyed it & I lived there for three years.
The spiritual awareness of your exsistance in harmony with the natural world , this is zen.
Zen means meditation
I want to born in Japan in my next life. There are soo many traditions, it,'s all beautiful.
u will never be born again into this World.

there is no next time except next life...............how someone can beleive without confirmation same with me
I came here to learn about Zen but the Documentary was soo good I just stayed for the whole thing! Everybody who is complaining about the title - you are basically not being very ZEN about it lol!
Goood answer bro lol
This reminds me of one of those travelogues we used to get at the cinema in the 1960s. It's the same bloke narrating it as well.
This doc was very calming for some reason, I Love Japan.
As a Japanese, I asked my American, German, and French friends, "What is good about Japan?" To my surprise, their responses were exactly the same. they said Because Japan has a tradition that has been around for 2,000 years and the world's most advanced technology at the same time. There is no other country outside of Western culture where you can have such an experience. The reason why I was surprised was because their answer was completely obvious to me. Indeed, no country in the world has been "the same country" for 2,000 years.
Exactly. I’ve spent half of my working life between Japan (Osaka & Tokyo) and the US….Japan has not only kept its traditions, it has kept its HISTORY….
The only thing in Japan that I don’t care for are its earthquakes (I can’t forget the first time I woke up, terrified, in the middle of the night-to a swaying hotel room, on the 32nd floor-only to run into a yawning hotel employee, who told me, “It’s only a 5.0- 5.5,” and recommended that I “go back to sleep :) ….And while I know how safe & incredibly earthquake-proof Japanese buildings are….they still frighten me….
i admire the respect of japanese people for nature and honor for practice of traditions
Also their respect for the elderly!
I respect your face!
I've lived in Japan for 22 years and believe me, this documentary shows a very polished, narrow view of society here. As a Canadian I was horrified by the absolute disregard for the environment and the treatment of the landscape and waterways. This documentary portrays Japan in the way that the current government would like outsiders to see it. But its a very different view once you begin living here for any length of time.
me too its an old vid but its cool will keep the gaijin at bay in the mean time isn't it ?

This is a documentary about modern Japan, NOT Zen.
Ben Franklin99 And what if it is about zen in anouther country?
what
I agree... the title is misleading. Zen plays a part here, but a secondary one.
ZEN is a drum n bass producer
So why is that?
Lived in Tokyo for a fews months, managed to travel the main island widely. Lovely, lovely place. Have maintained their culture so well while being fully modern. The constant earthquakes are something else though....
its great to watch Japan again and again
Japan has no Christianity.
GSH RDY Then why is there Christian bibles making it to Japan?
I love Japan, I lived in this amazing country for 3 years, and I miss it so much I have decided to move back :)
so, why did you leave ?
ok...
Beautiful video! Well done. Just like others say, title doesn’t match. I respect all unique cultures of the countries. And I’m proud of my culture, Japan
I agree. I thought this was more about Zen Buddhism, but I still enjoy the unique culture. I also agree, that it is a very good video.
貴方は英語は上手です
This is one of the best documentaries on Japan I have ever watched.
I was here for a zen documentary, got dissapointed at first but not anymore after the first 10 minutes coz the documentary is soooo good
There are so many admirable things about Japan and the Japanese.
There are admirable things about every country and culture
Okay yes there some heinious things about them.
Japan is the most beautiful country in the world.

This is indeed the best documentary channel. It does not lack documentaries. It's very good at not not-having documentaries. Documentaries are on this channel. If you were looking for a documentary channel that didn't have any documentaries, than this would be the worst documentary channel. This channel, however, does have documentaries, and it is the best at having them.
Thank you for sharing this video with us 🙏
At first I thought that what drew me to Japan was anime, tourist spots.. but it was really their way of life. The way they venerate life gives them a vivacious vibe. And it shows in their daily life, the structures, the food.. I wish I could live there and experience all of it.
what an eloquent way of putting it
I must say Japan is a masterpiece n a huge respect for them
Japan culture never ceases to amazes me.
Thanks for giving us some hints of your so Cultural Richness a real precious Heritage for all to admire
I feel so informed right now.
Same bro
the spirit of this place is legendary. wish i could one day visit
such a beautiful country and wonderful culture. thank you
Of whole Asia,I would like to visit Japan..🙂🙂..♥️♥️..it's my dream..🙏🙏
Sooo Beautiful! It is like out of a dream.
私の文化を代表していただきありがとうございます。

All countries should live this way, all nations at one 😍😍😍
This was a good one. I really enjoyed it.
One of the best doc on Japanese culture. Thanks

What are you talking about?, too much weed?.
GSH RDY what are you asking about did you not read all about emotion and realistic effects on history?
I agree . Loved it.
Satoru Yagi,
Nice video with incorrect title. I was expecting a lecture on Zen Buddhism.
First time I am watching and trying to know about Japan...& I am so impressed. Wish I could visit Japan in future
I wish I was here. Japan is a DIFFERENT civilization. Thank you, Pierre. For The Beauty of Zen.
What a fantastic journey! I thank you immensely for sharing this here and giving us the opportunity to travel to places that we physically cannot 🌸🌸🌸
what a great way to show ur appreciation ur very formal.
@@gechenique626🙏🏻
A culture that learned from the wrong decisions of the past and rose from the ashes like the Phoenix blossoming to success within conscious harmony...✨✨🙏🏻
Beautiful documentary, thanks so much for sharing! 🙏
I really enjoyed watching this.
The real Japanis ife style is bounded with desighned and Harmonies 👌.
Surprising lack of Zen Buddhism, but I still enjoyed it.
Get suprised in a different way if you are ready for it. Watch the docu carefully...
Mindblowing experience to watch this Documentary. Standing ovation and salutations to the team behind this excellent film.
God bless.
Thanks
This is amazing. Thank you!
Very informative and well done. Loved the drone shots and video of the natural scenery, and man-made scenery in Japan.
i was so into this that I didn't notice time passing,what a great documentary :D
Nice documentary of japanese buddhism.
a very excellent documentary, indeed. many thanks for your work. best from Greenland.
Amazing documentary!
Superb... very well made documentary. Many thanks and best compliments to the entire team for all the research and hard work. Could you please make more documentaries on Japanese life and culture in general.
Thank you for the documentary.
Japan 🇯🇵 is Fantastic 👏👏👍👍🇯🇵🇯🇵
at 6:12, The tower is located in my home city, Ichinomiya in Aichi prefecture! The name is 138 tower.
森裕紀 that's pretty cool👌
森裕紀 Very beautiful
Yes! I live nearby about 10 minutes walk from home (*^^*)
So far, this reminds of a Luis Bunuel kind of “documentary”. Oddly interesting.
Japanese will say they have no religion. I observe that being Japanese is the “religion”, a uniquely spiritual practice.
Zen (Chinese: Chán • Korea: Seon • Vietnam: Thiền) is a school of Mahayana Buddhism that originated in China during the Tang dynasty as the Chan School (Chánzong 禪宗, "meditation school") or the Buddha-mind school (foxin zong) - and later developed into various sub-schools and branches.
From China, Chán spread south to Vietnam and became Vietnamese Thiền, northeast to Korea to become Seon Buddhism, and east to Japan, becoming Japanese Zen.
Beautiful presentation - depiction of nature, beauty and art in everyday life.
God, the camera man is ready to party.
Lol
Okay, I enjoyed this documentary but it is NOT a documentary on Zen Buddhism but rather on Japanese culture. Not gonna say more than that though because it was informative and entertaining.
Why would all of you think that watching some documentary you will learn about Zen? You want to learn about Zen, then travel to Japan and spend 10 years studying it.
I really love to travel to japan.
wanderful view ,and I love the documentary
I love Japan, traveled there once, it was very good experience
I enjoyed this documentary and learned a lot about Japan. The word Zen means meditation. Perhaps the Zen temples did not want to take part in this documentary.
I am now enlightened in the way of Zen
Thank You
In my eyes, Japan is the most beautiful place on earth. Sadly I can see that teenagers are very influenced by occidental cultures that never include the discipline, respect for adults and in general to the rest of persons, art, beauty, tradition and all that makes Japan the nation it is. Thank you for this amazing video.
this is a very nice video
Morrison Alexander how agree with yeah vegan love my ocean life will judgement on you ocean meat diners?
Anonymous Mysterious yes! yes to everything!

This is an absolutely brilliant, all encompassing documentary; and, once I released my expectation of a formal documentary on Zen Buddhism, I could appreciate its message -- seasoned with lighthearted observations -- that, in fact, the Japanese way of living and doing and being ... IS Zen!
Excellent documentary. Some of the commentaries on this production however, are very crude and insensitive. Why can not an instructive video like this one, just be watched and enjoyed for what it has chosen to present. I found it to be very enlightening.
the camera work is sickening
selfish people have to make it about them, or their low perspective, but their own words expose their true thoughts, & voidness. that's just WHO they are :(
More of a travelogue. Zen isn't even mentioned until 29:00. Still it's an interesting and informative doc.
thanks for the tip! I only watched this because it said "Zen Buddhism" and "Japan." I'm very interested in Japanese culture but this documentary was extremely disappointing.
Gracias felicitaciones y siempre adelante
This is what Zen is all about. The title is correct.
Japanese super culture🇯🇵❗️
They're like the best example of nation pride in every sense. It's like the complete opposite of the Netherlands... ¬.¬ I am Dutch so I should know.
DClover41 it's sad that so many european countries have lost pride in their nation, history and culture :(
Yeah, others too? I didn't really know that. I mean, I've visited France, Germany, Austria and Italy before, and all I see there are old buildings. The old buildings are mostly absent, in the Netherlands. They're kept in small villages and some cities' centres because suddenly they're important, while in the 70's they destroyed everything that made our country Dutch on the outside. Dutchmen are so used to the Netherlands being called Holland, that everyone's starting to use that name, much to my frustration. And the media, (from Holland) is ruining our language. Last week they said on the news that 30% of all Dutchmen have a dialect. (Implying they don't even mean what a dialect is) When the dialects were here before Dutch. Oh well, people don't know and they don't care. My language doesn't make linguistical sense anymore, because the official book of grammar has become a sales item, so it's being renewed every other year and well it makes less sense every time. Nobody cares.
DClover41 yeah so many countries are losing dialects, languages and important historical buildings. but theres also a self-destruct mentalty in some countries because of guilt due to the things that happened in the past, like Germay. but even in England parts of culture are disappearing :(
I don't know about many countries but most people just don't seem to care. It really is a waste
Also, I think Germany can move on. Yes, I know a lot about the war, I've been to Auschwitz and grew up being impressed knowledge about it. I just think that many people who had a part in the war are dead now, and I don't think the Germans now can be blamed for what happened in the past. Every group of people has their crimes from the past. It's luck by an accident as we say in Dutch, that a Nazi went to America and became the most important man of NASA.
Beautiful bow maker segment.
Thanks a lot for making interesting documentary.
What a terrifc documentary! And the SOUNDTRACK!
0:01 at first I thought that was someone talking 😂
Buddhism
Buddhism was not introduced from South Korea, but sent a formal messenger to China to learn and spread throughout the country.
so well done documentary love it!
Andreas how about dynamics of creator?
so simple it is you isnt it ?
Andrew Hibberd who is it?
Agree with 'Ben Franklin99' this is NOT a Zen documentary but an overview of modern-day Japan!!
Beautiful documentary, peaceful informant.
Delightful doc on both Zen and Japan
perfection
Tarek Chamas nature is perfect .just humanity is proud.
