This is another wonderful movie that I have watched twice now and really enjoy. It is a documentary called, “Wake up! On the Road with a Zen Master.” It was made about Zen Master Seung Sahn’s teaching trip to Europe. Master Seung Sahn was the founder of the Kwan Um School of Zen of which I [...]

An Amazing Movie

The other day, I had the opportunity to find an amazing and beautiful movie on line. It is called Amongst The White Clouds and describes the life of Buddhist monks living alone in the woods in China. It’s amazing to watch these men and women work and live and practice. It’s not every day you [...]

My regular readers may have guessed from some of the things I have said in previous posts that I am a bit of a geek. Nothing too serious, just a slight penchant for geekery really. I could quit any time I want to and be as normal and well-adjusted as the next guy. If I [...]
How to Have A Good Workout

When I go to the gym to exercise it can get a little boring to just stay on the machine for 20 minutes or more moving around without anything else to do. A few weeks ago, I picked up an armband and some new earpohnes that hook around my ears to keep them from falling [...]

When you begin to explore Zen, you are quickly immersed in a certain type of aesthetic. Zen art and design is pure and simple and has a beauty that is unique and recognizable the world over.

One of the things that the book Savor touches on in a few places is the power of food advertisement and how it impacts our desire to eat things that aren’t good for us. One thing that I’ve done to try to make positive changes in my life is to seriously cut back on the amount [...]

My son, a fellow Star Wars nut just found this video and came to me laughing his head off and telling me I must watch it. I followed him into the computer room and this is what I saw. I laughed my way through the entire thing. This has got to be one of the [...]
A Documentary about Zen

I found this documentary today and loved watching it. It’s a great introduction to what Zen is, especially Japanese Zen. Even if you have a strong knowledge of Zen, the scenery is beautiful and the music is so amazing. I highly suggest that you watch it.

[Edit: to see an explination of the title of this post, please see my comment] This video was posted yesterday on YouTube. It was taken at the anti-mosque rally in New York city. In it, a black man who could easily have been one of my neighbors in my old neighborhood in Cincinnati, OH walks [...]
