| User ReviewMark TThe real life story of Zen Master Dogen and the transmission of his teachings of the true dharma to his disciples. A beautiful film for all who practice zazen. The Way is that of simplicity, emptiness and seeing things as they truly are. "Eyes Horizontal, Nose Vertical." The first film I've been able to sit all the way through with a smile on my face from start to finish without being distracted, while playing my Guild Acoustic Guitar as a Japanese Koto over this lush and beautiful soundtrack. I have studied Zen and Taoism most of my life, and it is quite rare and wonderous for this beautiful spiritual practice to be depicted on film. Thank you for this. A Must-See. |
