great video, now go buy a mask with better elastic 🙂
Thanks for another great video. So informative.
One of your best vids, Quinlan! Olga and I loved it! It would be great to see what the local crew did with this.
Fantastic video and something I need right now in life. I also would like to see you in more of Chris's videos soon.
Can I like this 50 more times?? Wonderful video, Quinlan, I fell out of a short-term meditation routine I had awhile ago but I'm now inspired to restart 🙏😊
🙏
Thank you for this exceptional video. I started meditating about a year ago and understand a bit more thanks to you and the master of the temple. When I started to meditate my mind was all over the place and could not make my mind rest. Now I go to a trans-like place. It's more like images of things I think of, instead of full thoughts. Sometimes I come to and am bend over almost to the floor, so relaxed. (Would get a few stick taps for sure as they would think I fell asleep, lol.) Feeling at peace with myself and my surroundings.
Great video! 👍❤️
Zen Buddhism is awesome.
This explanation of meditation makes it sound so much more manageable! Makes me want to try (along with the idea that I, too, could be facing a beautiful garden while doing so). Seeing the beautiful temple and grounds and the statues of the Kami makes it all a bit more relatable too, compared to the interviews with the zen monk alone. And all of this when you were trailed by a camera crew! I had not expected such a calming yet fascinating video to come out of that arrangement 🙂
Great video Quinlan! I've shared it with my Japanese students! Also, I found the artlist link, but I'd love to know the name of that song. It's so beautiful.
Temples are my favourite places to visit on my trips to Japan, the cities tend to stress me out a lot so spending an hour to enjoy the atmosphere of the Temples and Gardens is always a highlight for me.
👍👍
Thank you so much for this video. Very informative and very calming at the same time — I greatly appreciate it!
Absolutely loved this video!! Thank you so much for sharing 😌🙏
Great video! Thank you for sharing this with us!
This was so great! I love seeing this side of Japan. Thank you for sharing with us! ❤️
What a beautiful temple! Always wanted to get better at meditation…
山海漬から！チャンネル登録します！応援してますよ！
I really loved this! It made me feel better about my own meditation practice. Hopefully I can visit the Temple when I get back there. Thanks for sharing!
Sooo it's finally here 😀 after much teasing (ok it's already been out for a bit but I had no internet to watch it ;o;)
It looks like a wonderful temple. I'm rather corious what the tv team made of your trip there but I guess i will never know. The temple is beautiful and the monk seems so kind! There seems to be a train going from oushou which is pretty cool it means I could even go there for a change! I have never done a meditation…was it not hard to sit like this for so long? I am not sure i could get my legs into that position in the first place…but it is rather tempting. I wonder what else they offer. I will have to run their website through google translate I guess
Great video! Very interesting and informative. I recently started meditating daily and what the Monk said here actually helps quite a bit!
I'll try to fit in some kind of meditation training into my next journey to Japan as well.
Hello, I was wondering if you could make a video by traveling to my namesake Ryokan's residence, Gogo-an, which is located in the Niigata prefecture just outside the beach town of Teradomari. Ryokans Gogo-an hermitage is on the grounds of Kokujoji Temple.
your videos are 👌
My therapist got me learn mindfulness based meditation ( which appears to be similar to this kind) and it has helped me so much in my everyday life and also in my healing from my childhood.
Wonderful words by the priest.
He put the whole teachings of Dogen so clear and relatable together.
Thank you so much for making such a beautiful video and for sharing it with us. Thank you also to the priest, Tempel and video crew.
I greatly appreciate it 🙏🏻
Wonderful..
Thank you..
