Dear Zen friends,
a young movie maker, Beatrice, was
very motivated to make a movie about Zen in the modern society. I met her on
the ferry to La Gomera, Canarian
Island , were I intend to
build a small dojo in the mountain, not far from the coast.
As you know
wintertime is not very convenient in middle and north Europe, so we were
thinking it might be a good idea to have a center for Zazen in that wonderful nature
and climate of La Gomera: only Spring and Summer.
In the short movie I am speaking
about:
- Stress, fear, insecurity, looser
situation in the modern culture
- Nature like Dogen´s famous chapters
in the Shobogenzo
- Shakuhachi flute is for flow and
deep relaxing, no fear about changing
- Archery for action in the moment:
past, present and future as one unit in the very moment, exactly the situation
of body-and-mind.
I am sorry it is not in English.
We are thinking of crowd funding.
With best wishes
Yudo
