00:01:06 Dear Monju...
00:01:09 I do not have much time left
00:01:13 Mother, please do not say
00:01:20 These days many people
00:01:25 ...that if you place your faith
00:01:29 ...you will reach paradise
00:01:33 I wonder...
00:01:36 ...if it is truly possible
00:01:39 I do not know the answer.
00:01:42 But I believe it is meaningless.
00:01:46 ...to reach paradise after death.
00:01:53 I believe that the only paradise.
00:01:58 I will ever find is my time here
00:02:04 Here and now is paradise.
00:02:07 You are right, Mother.
00:02:10 We must create paradise
00:02:14 But if this is paradise...
00:02:18 ...why must people fight...
00:02:21 ...and suffer from illness...
00:02:23 ...unable to escape the pain of death?
00:02:28 Monju, I want you...
00:02:32 ...to find a way to escape...
00:02:36 ...all this suffering.
00:02:39 Your mother will wait forever...
00:02:42 ...for you to find it.
00:03:20 Dogen in China, 1223
00:04:13 You are on a quest
00:04:16 I approve of your goal...
00:04:21 ...but Dogen, Buddhism...
00:04:25 ...does not require a master.
00:04:29 You will come to understand it
00:04:33 That is what my master taught me.
00:04:40 Now I must go...
00:04:44 ...to meet some government officials.
00:04:49 This is also necessary...
00:04:53 ...to protect the temple.
00:04:56 Surely you understand, Dogen.
00:04:59 Perhaps that will help you
00:05:04 And yet...
00:05:06 And yet, what?
00:05:09 And yet...
00:05:12 ...will that help to protect Buddhism?
00:05:45 It is yourself
00:06:45 Master.
00:06:51 Please excuse me...
00:06:55 ...but may I carry your load?
00:06:59 Thank you for your kind words.
00:07:02 But this is part of my precious task,
00:07:07 ...which Buddha assigned to me,
00:07:11 I cannot assign this work
00:07:16 So it is your job to prepare
00:07:22 Indeed.
00:07:23 I came to town to purchase
00:07:26 ...to make a noodle soup
00:07:30 Why is this still your task?
00:07:32 At your age, surely you should be
00:07:38 ...sitting in Zen meditation...
00:07:42 ...or working on your Zen koan.
00:08:06 You appear to be a wise man...
00:08:09 ...but it seems you know nothing
00:08:16 You seem not to even know the Teachings.
00:08:22 What is the practice?
00:08:25 What is the teachings?
00:08:30 Monk from Japan,
00:08:35 That shall be your path...
00:08:40 ...to understanding the practice
00:08:51 Elder monk,
00:08:55 If I am still alive.
00:08:58 I am the cook at Ayu-wan-shan
00:09:36 Kugyo.
00:09:39 Kugyo, it is you!
00:09:46 Excuse me, I do not speak
00:09:52 Forgive me.
00:09:54 I am a monk, visiting from Japan.
00:09:57 You look so much like my friend...
00:10:02 ...for a moment...
00:10:03 ...I forgot he is dead
00:10:10 He is dead...
00:10:12 Kugyo is his name?
00:10:16 Yes.
00:10:18 Minamoto Kugyo.
00:10:20 Is his Japanese name.
00:10:24 He was my dearest friend.
00:10:27 It is my wish...
00:10:32 To rule this land.
00:10:38 I will become ruler.
00:10:43 Rule the land...
00:10:45 If you can establish a new Buddhism...
00:10:47 ...as ruler, I shall convert to it.
00:11:06 Dogen, leave Hieizan.
00:11:13 I aim for China.
00:11:18 China?
00:11:26 Stop!
00:11:31 You thief!
00:11:33 Help me!
00:11:35 No! Kugyo, stop!
00:11:37 Dogen, move.
00:11:38 Kugyo, kill me!
00:11:41 What?
00:11:42 It is not your place to judge her.
00:11:46 As ruler it will be your job
00:11:49 ...children like her do not
00:11:58 I have come to bid you farewell.
00:12:00 Farewell?
00:12:01 I have been ordered to become
00:12:06 To Kamakura?
00:12:07 The next time I see you, I will be
00:12:12 Shogun?
00:12:13 When the current Shogun dies,
00:12:18 Until then, Dogen...
00:12:21 ...fare thee well.
00:12:35 Two and a half years later...
00:12:38 I was told of his death.
00:12:51 I feared I had lost my way
00:12:55 ...I have regained the courage
00:13:00 No doubt.
00:13:03 Kugyo has inspired me.
00:13:08 Dogen, what is the journey
00:13:14 To find my true master and
00:13:18 Starting in Tien-tung-shan,
00:13:23 ...but none of them truly
00:13:30 Here in the Zen temples populated
00:13:31 ...who lack both faith and
00:13:36 I began to wonder whether
00:13:41 ...for a true master was hopeless.
00:13:46 Dogen, please return to
00:13:51 To Tien-tung-shan?
00:13:53 You will find your true master there.
00:13:57 My true master?
00:13:59 After the death of Master Wu-chi,
00:14:02 ...Zen master Ju-ching became
00:14:05 He was my master.
00:14:08 What kind of man...
00:14:11 ...is Ju-ching?
00:14:16 The practice of Zen is to have
00:14:21 This falling away is the path...
00:14:25 ...out of ignorance and vice.
00:14:30 There is no second or third path...
00:14:33 ...other than Zen.
00:14:37 Sitting in Zen meditation is all.
00:14:40 Ji-uen, let's return to Tien-tung-shan.
00:16:19 How extraordinary.
00:16:22 It is a mysterious coincidence.
00:16:29 You have accomplished the face to face
00:16:39 Ayu-wan-shan Kuang-li
00:17:01 You have come.
00:17:06 The teachings are.
00:17:08 What are the teachings?
00:17:11 One, two...
00:17:14 ...three, four...
00:17:18 ...five.
00:17:24 Practice is.
00:17:27 What is practice?
00:17:30 Buddhism has always
00:17:45 Everything that happens
00:17:49 ...has always been that way.
00:17:54 No one has anything to conceal.
00:20:18 Even if the meat on your buttocks
00:20:21 ...you will keep sitting until you can sit,
00:21:39 Several years later.
00:22:06 In Zazen, you must let
00:22:11 How dare you fall asleep!
00:22:59 You have achieved enlightenment.
00:23:05 Yes.
00:23:08 Mind and body fall away.
00:23:10 Mind and body fall away.
00:23:15 Fall away, fall away.
00:23:21 Dogen...
00:23:22 ...forget even that you have
00:23:28 Yes.
00:23:33 Just as enlightenment is infinite...
00:23:38 ...practice is also infinite.
00:23:42 Enlightenment and practice...
00:23:47 ...are inextricably linked.
00:24:22 The Record of the Lineage.
00:25:17 The Record of the Transmission.
00:26:27 By the time that moon
00:26:31 ...you will be seeing it from Japan.
00:26:37 Wherever each of us is...
00:26:41 ...you and I will always
00:27:22 Dogen returns to Japan, 1227
00:27:31 Hey, wait!
00:27:34 Run!
00:27:53 Stop!
00:27:54 Move!
00:28:05 I'm cheap, c'mon.
00:28:16 Get moving!
00:28:35 I hear you've been seeing
00:28:59 Dogen.
00:29:02 Surely that is beneath you.
00:29:06 Is it peculiar?
00:29:08 No...
00:29:11 This is the greatest form
00:29:17 Where are the others?
00:29:22 Most have gone into town.
00:29:43 On Promoting Zen Meditation.
00:29:46 "The Zazen I speak of is not
00:29:49 "It is simply the Dharma gate
00:29:53 ...the practice-realization of
00:30:31 "On July 17th...
00:30:33 ...of this year, 1227...
00:30:36 ...Zen master Ju-ching...
00:30:38 ...entered Nirvana at
00:31:15 I am Koun Ejo...
00:31:17 ...disciple of Bucchi Kakuan
00:31:23 I apologize for
00:31:28 ...but can you tell me...
00:31:30 ...what exactly are the teachings.
00:31:34 ...of the new, true Buddhism
00:31:40 Before I discuss that with you,
00:31:47 Recently, I wrote
00:31:52 ...so that many people
00:32:43 Would you, too,
00:34:03 I hear Dogen of Kennin Temple
00:34:06 ...that he's brought the true teachings
00:34:12 This means that he is
00:34:17 ...our precious Buddhist tradition.
00:34:20 Just like the Nenbutsu and
00:34:23 ...it is a threat to our Buddhism.
00:34:27 We cannot ignore him.
00:34:32 Kennin Temple, Kennin Temple.
00:35:00 I can't read or write.
00:35:03 You're getting in the way
00:35:06 Kennin Temple,
00:35:10 Kennin Temple?
00:35:12 Don't you even know
00:35:16 Japanese words difficult...
00:35:23 So you're a foreign monk.
00:35:28 Kennin Temple, where?
00:35:33 I'll take you there,
00:35:38 I'm cheap.
00:35:41 Dogen is in Kennin Temple.
00:35:49 Dogen...
00:35:56 You thief!
00:35:57 Help me!
00:35:59 No! Kugyo, stop!
00:36:01 Dogen, move.
00:36:02 Kugyo, kill me!
00:36:05 What?
00:36:06 It is not your place to judge her.
00:36:10 As ruler it will be your job
00:36:13 ...children like her do not
00:36:20 I am but a poor monk,
00:36:24 ...that I have no more to offer you.
00:36:27 Off you go, now.
00:36:34 Dogen...
00:36:38 Is there a Dogen here?
00:36:42 I am Dogen.
00:36:47 Huh.
00:36:49 May I help you?
00:36:54 Excuse me...
00:37:01 Ji-uen.
00:37:09 Why are you here?
00:37:12 I have come to fulfill
00:37:17 Kugyo's promise?
00:37:19 The words Kugyo said...
00:37:22 "If you can establish a new Buddhism,
00:37:29 Dogen.
00:37:31 Now that Ju-ching has passed away,
00:37:39 Ji-uen.
00:37:41 I want to try to establish.
00:37:44 Ju-ching's Zen here in Japan.
00:37:50 I need your help.
00:37:52 Yes, most happily.
00:37:58 Please, come in.
00:38:01 You must be tired
00:38:03 Let me introduce you.
00:38:18 Oh, my.
00:38:28 I've been looking for you
00:38:31 You disappeared so quickly.
00:38:34 It's not really a place for us.
00:38:39 Last night, you delivered
00:38:43 I offer you my thanks.
00:38:55 A word of thanks,
00:39:01 Hush, hush.
00:39:05 Hush, hush.
00:39:07 You're awful early
00:39:11 Come to Mommy.
00:39:20 What, that's all?
00:39:23 How dare you.
00:39:25 Why don't you go steal something
00:39:30 Don't turn out like your daddy.
00:39:36 Orin.
00:39:39 How dare you talk
00:39:43 I didn't get wounded for fun.
00:39:47 You know I can't work
00:39:52 It doesn't seem to keep you
00:40:02 Watch it!
00:40:04 Move!
00:40:15 Dogen! Get out here!
00:40:21 There is no cause
00:40:23 I knew they would
00:40:26 Where are you Dogen!
00:40:28 If you don't come out here,
00:40:40 I am Dogen.
00:40:42 You have been dismissing
00:40:45 Hieizan Buddhism...
00:40:48 ...proclaiming that yours
00:40:52 ...and confusing the people.
00:40:54 Show me the new sutras
00:40:58 ...that prove the authenticity
00:41:03 I have nothing like that.
00:41:08 Nothing?
00:41:10 I return empty-handed.
00:41:13 You brought back no proof?
00:41:15 I have returned with myself...
00:41:18 ...which has inherited
00:41:22 And what did you learn?
00:41:27 Eyes horizontal, nose vertical.
00:41:29 Eyes horizontal, nose vertical?
00:41:32 Eyes are set horizontally...
00:41:35 ...while noses are set vertically.
00:41:38 How dare you!
00:41:42 You demon heretic!
00:41:47 If you cannot obey, I'll kill you!
00:41:52 Stand down! Stand down!
00:41:59 Who are you!
00:42:01 I am the magistrate,
00:42:06 The magistrate.
00:42:08 Though you may be monks
00:42:10 I cannot possibly ignore...
00:42:13 ...your outrageous insolence to Dogen!
00:42:42 Anyoin Temple.
00:42:48 I am so grateful.
00:42:50 Please take care.
00:43:02 This Anyoin Temple is beloved...
00:43:06 ...by my mother's family,
00:43:08 I had long prayed that we
00:43:15 For now, we begin
00:43:19 ...but when a single soul achieves
00:43:23 Your fourth has also arrived.
00:43:31 Master Dogen...
00:43:33 ...your recent teachings
00:43:39 Please let me join you.
00:43:42 I beg of you.
00:43:48 Ejo, I appreciate your wishes.
00:43:53 But you are a Buddhist leader...
00:43:57 ...and moreover, are responsible
00:44:03 Now is not the time.
00:44:14 When the time comes...
00:44:18 Please, do not succumb
00:44:22 ...be unwavering in your resolve.
00:45:00 Alms for the body and the soul
00:45:22 Bam-boo.
00:45:26 Bam-boo.
00:46:14 Koshoji Temple.
00:46:23 Zazen.
00:47:53 Someone arrived late.
00:47:58 I offer my apologies.
00:48:05 Ejo.
00:48:14 Please allow me now.
00:48:19 It seems your time has come.
00:48:22 Treasury of True Teachings.
00:48:40 Dogen san! Dogen san!
00:48:43 You are...
00:48:47 My baby's dying!
00:48:49 What?
00:48:51 The medicine I got from
00:48:55 I can tell, he's just getting
00:48:58 Say something!
00:49:02 It's your job to save people, right?
00:49:06 Do something!
00:49:11 There is only one way
00:49:17 What is that?
00:49:20 Visit every home in this area...
00:49:24 ...and try to find a home
00:49:28 And have that family give you
00:49:59 Go back to sleep, my child.
00:50:05 Dawn is not yet here.
00:50:16 When dawn comes
00:50:45 Hey!
00:50:49 Get out here, you lying monk!
00:51:00 You made a fool out of me.
00:51:04 There's no such thing as a house
00:51:11 That's right,
00:51:16 That is what the master
00:52:25 Hey, you.
00:52:28 Can't you make a little noise.
00:52:31 I'm in mourning.
00:52:33 What?
00:52:36 I killed my little baby...
00:52:39 Hey...
00:52:50 I'm making an offering with money
00:52:55 Why don't you take it?
00:53:04 Is this money so filthy?
00:53:09 Let us gratefully accept it.
00:53:30 You joyfully cast aside money
00:53:35 It is very precious.
00:53:38 I am grateful, Orin.
00:54:01 Buddha Hall.
00:54:05 Straighten your posture
00:54:12 Yes, like that.
00:54:21 Hold your right hand down,
00:54:25 ...your thumbs together.
00:54:28 Yes.
00:54:29 Hold your gaze
00:55:01 I'll kill myself!
00:55:03 Please stop, Orin san.
00:55:07 Please stop!
00:55:09 What has happened?
00:55:13 Orin, what is the matter?
00:55:16 I hate myself.
00:55:19 I hate myself so much
00:55:22 You lied to me that
00:55:26 I hate you too!
00:55:30 My old faith is much better!
00:55:32 I did not lie!
00:55:35 Buddha is inside you!
00:55:41 But you see...
00:55:43 It's not so easy to meet the Buddha.
00:55:47 Every human wants this
00:55:52 ...and covets what remains
00:55:55 When we cannot have our way
00:56:01 We cannot see Buddha
00:56:04 ...with such matters.
00:56:07 That is why we sit.
00:56:09 We sit and we sit
00:56:13 If you do this, you will be able
00:56:21 Orin.
00:56:23 By killing yourself,
00:56:29 And depending on others...
00:56:32 ...denies the Buddha within you.
00:56:44 It seems the Hieizan monks are
00:56:48 They are planning a deadly
00:56:53 If you do not leave here immediately,
00:56:59 It is deep in the mountains...
00:57:01 ...but I own land in Echizen.
00:57:05 You are free to use that land, Dogen.
00:57:10 I appreciate your kind words
00:57:13 Master Dogen, you must decide!
00:57:16 There is only one of you
00:57:44 Say, Orin.
00:57:46 With the kid gone,
00:57:50 Let's head east together...
00:57:53 ...and start over.
00:57:57 Start over?
00:57:59 You know what I mean.
00:58:01 No thanks
00:58:05 What the hell.
00:58:08 How the hell are we going to eat?
00:58:12 I'm thinking about it.
00:58:17 Maybe I'll become a nun.
00:58:19 What?
00:58:24 Of course I won't.
00:58:27 That's right,
00:58:33 In that case, reconsider...
00:58:36 Don't touch me.
00:58:40 Orin.
00:58:42 You.
00:58:47 Let go!
00:59:10 Go back to sleep, my child.
00:59:16 Dawn is not yet here.
00:59:26 When dawn comes
01:00:09 Orin san...
01:01:10 Shunryo san.
01:01:14 Why did you become a monk?
01:01:22 Because I was poor.
01:01:28 My parents abandoned me.
01:01:32 I scrounged for garbage.
01:01:35 ...and even stole to survive.
01:01:43 Just like me.
01:01:47 One day, I realized...
01:01:52 ...if I joined a temple
01:01:57 That was my only goal.
01:02:01 I entered the temple
01:02:06 But now that I have met Dogen,
01:02:11 Master Dogen told me...
01:02:15 "Why wait to die to meet Buddha?
01:02:19 "Meet Buddha in this life...
01:02:22 " and find paradise here"
01:02:26 Instead of just eating...
01:02:29 I chose to practice my faith
01:02:37 Dogen san...
01:02:40 ...cried when he held my baby.
01:02:45 He cried while you
01:02:52 Master Dogen is always sharing...
01:02:56 ...our joys and our sorrows.
01:03:26 Kill any who disobey!
01:03:35 Kill! Kill!
00:00:12 Please, stop!
00:00:13 Please, stop!
00:00:17 Shut up!
00:00:19 Good enough!
00:00:23 A heretical sect destroyed!
00:00:26 You reap what you sow!
00:00:29 Water! Get water!
00:00:36 Driven out of Kennin Temple...
00:00:39 ...and now driven out of here
00:00:45 I am sick with disappointment.
00:00:48 I am heartbroken.
00:00:51 Nevertheless...
00:00:53 ...we cannot allow the true light
00:00:57 Fellow monks, we will depart...
00:01:01 ...for Echizen, in order
00:01:05 ...for true Buddhism.
00:01:40 Who are you?
00:01:47 Oh, Gikai, you made it.
00:01:56 Master Dogen, I, Gikai of
00:02:01 ...have raced here to ask
00:02:19 Let us proceed.
00:03:18 The heavenly way...
00:03:21 ...is lofty and serene.
00:03:24 The earthly way...
00:03:27 ...solid and still.
00:03:31 The human way...
00:03:35 ...is calm and tranquil.
00:03:40 Throughout the universe...
00:03:42 ...there is unending peace.
00:05:37 The person who helped to clear
00:05:42 ...was an elderly Kitchen Master.
00:05:46 The position of Kitchen Master has always
00:05:50 ...whose hearts are committed
00:05:54 This is because...
00:05:56 ...the practice of Kitchen Master...
00:05:58 ...requires a single-minded purity
00:06:04 "I owe my knowledge of teachings
00:06:09 ...entirely to that Kitchen Master. "
00:06:10 Kitchen Master Instructions
00:06:13 Kitchen Master Instructions.
00:06:35 How is it?
00:06:36 Have you grown used to
00:06:42 I do my best.
00:06:45 That's good.
00:06:53 Gikai sama, may I
00:06:57 What is it?
00:07:00 I understand it logically, but...
00:07:07 I am not able to sit Zazen
00:07:14 I cannot help but panic at
00:07:19 Then you should sit
00:08:40 You are here, Orin.
00:08:46 Yes.
00:08:56 Master Dogen...
00:08:58 ...please allow me to become
00:09:11 I cannot.
00:09:15 Is that because I am a sinful...
00:09:19 ...and disgraced woman?
00:09:22 - We do not question past acts
00:09:24 First you must abandon
00:09:28 When you are free
00:09:31 ...though you may be
00:09:34 ...you shall be pure.
00:09:38 Return to Kyoto and do your best.
00:09:45 I will not return.
00:09:57 Gikai sama.
00:10:02 We have no rice to cook.
00:10:06 Nor millet left.
00:10:10 If there is not enough rice...
00:10:15 ...then make porridge.
00:10:17 It is not enough for porridge.
00:10:20 Then make rice broth.
00:10:24 It is not enough for rice broth.
00:10:28 In that case...
00:10:30 ...we shall drink boiled water
00:10:36 Completely disengage from
00:10:40 ...and abandon everything
00:10:44 Abandon thinking about
00:10:49 ...and of thinking itself, along with
00:10:53 Abandon all intentions
00:10:57 This is known as
00:11:00 We do not sit Zazen for
00:11:04 Just sitting in meditation.
00:11:07 That itself is enlightenment.
00:11:22 Shunryo sama.
00:11:25 Orin san.
00:11:30 When did you arrive?
00:11:31 Ten days ago.
00:11:34 I did not see you...
00:11:37 ...and feared you had moved away.
00:11:40 I am responsible
00:11:42 ...so I cannot sit with everyone else.
00:11:51 What is wrong?
00:11:55 I do not know.
00:13:13 "Plant the seeds.
00:13:19 "In the fields and levees.
00:13:25 "In the fall, there'll be.
00:13:37 "Five kinds of grains.
00:13:43 "In the fall, there'll be
00:14:11 Shunryo sama.
00:14:14 Orin san.
00:14:24 What are you doing?
00:14:26 I'm mushroom hunting.
00:14:27 I can be your guide
00:14:36 Look, there.
00:14:58 Here, too.
00:15:01 Ouch!
00:15:06 Shunryo sama!
00:15:22 It's not a poisonous snake,
00:15:58 I am so sorry
00:16:05 If you find me acceptable...
00:16:08 I don't mind.
00:16:11 Orin san, please forgive me.
00:16:14 Now you see the base motives
00:16:20 But for me to defile you,
00:16:26 The fault is mine.
00:16:28 I wanted to interact with you
00:16:31 ...ignoring my own past.
00:16:35 And I wanted you to touch me,
00:16:39 ...but as a real human being.
00:16:42 I am the one who tempted you
00:16:56 Shunryo sama!
00:17:59 Shunryo, what are you doing!
00:18:04 Shunryo!
00:18:09 Shunryo.
00:18:12 What is the meaning of this?
00:18:21 Zen Master.
00:18:25 I am horrified to realize
00:18:30 ...of lust has settled into my heart.
00:18:35 It is unforgivable in
00:18:41 Upon careful consideration...
00:18:44 I have resolved to take a leave.
00:18:49 I can no longer
00:18:54 ...and your teachings
00:19:02 Is the demon still within you?
00:19:11 Tell him...
00:19:16 It's gone.
00:19:24 Are you...
00:19:28 Are you sure
00:19:32 Yes.
00:20:09 Master.
00:20:24 It is time to sit.
00:20:28 Everyone take your places.
00:20:40 Shunryo!
00:20:48 The gates of this temple...
00:20:53 Are always open for you.
00:21:10 Shunryo sama, don't go!
00:21:14 Don't come near me.
00:21:24 I love you!
00:22:08 Sir Hatano,
00:22:14 Please forgive my rudeness...
00:22:17 ...arriving so early in the morning...
00:22:20 ...and interrupting your
00:22:25 No, no, for you, Sir Hatano...
00:22:28 ...you are welcome
00:22:31 I can never possibly repay
00:22:35 I owe you for donating this Zendo.
00:22:39 I remain constantly
00:22:46 It is I who am grateful.
00:22:51 I trust your arrival here...
00:22:55 ...means Hojo Tokiyori
00:23:04 It is exactly so.
00:23:09 It was a merciless battle.
00:23:14 The Hojo and Miura clans
00:23:18 ...ever since Yoritomo formed
00:23:21 But yesterday's friend
00:23:25 In the event, samurai must kill
00:23:32 It was living hell on earth.
00:23:39 You!
00:23:43 Die!
00:23:53 Die!
00:24:03 How dare you defy me,
00:24:09 Damn you!
00:24:11 Die! Die!
00:24:25 Damn you!
00:24:27 Go away!
00:24:36 How dare you!
00:24:40 Master Dogen
00:24:43 Please save the Shogun.
00:24:46 I beg, I beg of you.
00:25:03 A dog?
00:25:06 Or a wolf?
00:25:13 Ji-uen...
00:25:16 ...let us visit living hell together.
00:25:22 Yes.
00:25:32 I am not going...
00:25:35 ...to visit the Shogun,
00:25:39 I am going to visit...
00:25:43 ...a young man
00:25:49 Master...
00:25:52 ...let me join you.
00:25:56 I cannot.
00:26:17 I am risking my life...
00:26:21 ...on this journey to Kamakura.
00:26:25 Ejo...
00:26:27 I cannot also place
00:26:32 I entrust...
00:26:35 ...my affairs to you.
00:27:14 Vast is the robe of liberation.
00:27:23 A formless field of benefaction.
00:27:32 I wear the Buddha's dharma.
00:27:40 Saving all sentient beings.
00:29:02 I am Tokiyori.
00:29:08 I am Dogen of Eiheiji Temple.
00:29:13 I've brought you here because
00:29:20 What do you wish to ask me?
00:29:23 I hear you've returned from China...
00:29:25 ...with the true Buddhism
00:29:29 Tell me, what is that?
00:29:32 They are the true, authentic
00:29:35 ...passed down through...
00:29:37 ...generations of monks,
00:29:43 But that is the same claim
00:29:46 No matter how many sutras
00:29:50 ...or call out Buddha's name...
00:29:52 ...you will not be able to find
00:29:56 What do you do in your sect?
00:30:00 Just sitting in meditation
00:30:09 How can true Buddhism be found,
00:30:15 Lord Tokiyori, that is akin
00:30:20 ...and claiming to have no water.
00:30:23 What!
00:30:27 Flowers in spring...
00:30:31 ...cuckoos in summer...
00:30:34 ...the moon in autumn.
00:30:37 ...and chilly snows in winter.
00:30:44 Flowers in spring...
00:30:47 ...cuckoos in summer...
00:30:52 Dogen, these are most obvious.
00:30:56 They are indeed obvious.
00:31:00 Things as they are.
00:31:02 Seeing things as they truly are...
00:31:06 That is enlightenment.
00:31:09 Zazen is to see the water
00:31:13 And yet, until we find
00:31:17 ...we cannot understand
00:31:19 ...in the vast ocean.
00:31:25 I don't understand, Dogen.
00:31:29 What is enlightenment?
00:31:32 What is the innate Buddha?
00:31:43 Fortunately, the moon
00:31:47 Lord Tokiyori...
00:31:49 ...shall we go into the garden
00:31:55 The moon?
00:32:06 It is magnificent.
00:32:09 Pure and undefiled
00:32:13 That moon which resides in your
00:32:18 There is only one moon
00:32:21 I cannot see a moon
00:32:24 Furthermore...
00:32:27 ...that full moon is soon fated
00:32:36 Lord Tokiyori.
00:32:40 Please look.
00:32:44 Lord Tokiyori.
00:32:47 Can you cut down this moon?
00:32:52 Easily.
00:33:16 I have cut it down.
00:33:19 Is that so?
00:33:23 Have another look.
00:33:41 Though clouds should
00:33:44 ...or the moon disappear
00:33:48 ...we cannot say there is no moon.
00:33:52 The moon cannot be wet
00:33:57 The moon is innate Buddha,
00:34:01 This incomprehensible dialogue
00:34:10 Damn you.
00:34:13 You're back again.
00:34:19 Get away!
00:34:37 Dogen.
00:34:40 How can I exterminate
00:34:44 ...which taunt me nightly?
00:34:49 You cannot exterminate them.
00:34:53 You must convert them.
00:34:56 Convert them?
00:34:58 Conversion means acceptance.
00:35:02 The pain, sorrow and hate
00:35:07 ...is precisely your own...
00:35:09 ...pain, sorrow and hate.
00:35:14 You must accept all that anguish.
00:35:18 However, until you abandon
00:35:22 ...you cannot accept that anguish...
00:35:25 ...nor will the anguish fade away.
00:35:30 The moment you grasped power
00:35:34 ...your left hand grasped suffering.
00:35:40 Are you telling me to abandon
00:35:45 The very definition of a regent is
00:35:51 It is grasping this power...
00:35:53 ...that has caused your anguish.
00:35:57 Lord Tokiyori...
00:36:00 ...now is the time to release
00:36:09 If I abandon the Regency,
00:36:14 My duty is to maintain...
00:36:18 ...peace throughout the land.
00:36:23 Is that not true?
00:36:24 No matter how brilliant...
00:36:27 ...no one who has employed weapons
00:36:30 ...can rule forever.
00:36:34 Certainly...
00:36:36 ...a ruler who knows no peace
00:36:41 ...can hardly rule peacefully.
00:36:49 Though you...
00:36:52 ...fervently wish to be saved...
00:36:57 ...you don't have the courage
00:37:02 How dare you, Dogen.
00:37:05 I, Tokiyori...
00:37:08 ...have never been
00:37:12 Lord!
00:37:13 Dogen!
00:37:16 Are you prepared to die!
00:37:25 I always have been.
00:37:28 When I came here,
00:37:33 ...abandoned my body
00:37:59 As you wish.
00:40:14 If you do evil
00:40:18 If you do good
00:40:21 When death approaches...
00:40:24 ...neither political power nor those
00:40:29 ...will be able to save you.
00:40:35 To death, you must go alone.
00:40:42 All that will accompany you...
00:40:45 ...is everything you did in life.
00:40:48 That and nothing else.
00:41:16 Master Dogen.
00:41:20 Look at this land.
00:41:24 Here on this land...
00:41:27 ...I will build a great temple,
00:41:33 Please stay here in Kamakura...
00:41:37 ...and become its founding priest.
00:41:42 It shall become the great
00:41:46 I cannot accept.
00:41:51 What?
00:41:54 You refuse?
00:42:04 My temple...
00:42:07 ...is Eiheiji, a very, very
00:42:11 ...in the Echizen mountains.
00:42:25 ...Master Dogen.
00:42:28 I am so glad to have met you.
00:42:59 Now I must take my leave.
00:43:17 "Flowers in spring...
00:43:19 ...cuckoos in summer...
00:43:22 ...the moon in autumn.
00:43:24 ...and chilly snows in winter. "
00:44:29 Ejo.
00:44:34 Yes.
00:44:37 The monks in the monastery...
00:44:39 ...should be as harmonious
00:44:43 ...and practice Zen single-mindedly.
00:44:48 Eventually, each monk will
00:44:51 Monks...
00:44:54 ...are the eternal companions
00:44:59 Yes.
00:45:09 Gikai.
00:45:15 Yes.
00:45:18 You shall be the abbot.
00:45:22 Assist Ejo...
00:45:25 ...and devote yourself
00:45:29 The three minds are...
00:45:32 ...the joyful mind...
00:45:34 ...the caring mind...
00:45:37 ...and the universal mind.
00:45:42 Yes.
00:45:44 Ji-uen.
00:45:47 Yes.
00:45:54 Is all well?
00:45:59 Of course, sir.
00:46:17 Right now, I can see
00:46:21 The only ones who actually saw
00:46:28 ...are you...
00:46:32 ...and I, none other.
00:46:38 You understand my meaning?
00:46:45 Yes.
00:47:00 Kugyo...
00:47:16 You have been a good disciple...
00:47:21 And...
00:47:26 A good friend.
00:47:33 The words you spoke...
00:47:35 ...to me, your disciple Ji-uen...
00:47:39 ...give me the greatest joy.
00:47:53 First, be free from desire.
00:47:58 Second, be satisfied.
00:48:02 Third, be tranquil.
00:48:06 Fourth, be diligent.
00:48:10 Fifth, remember the teachings.
00:48:14 Sixth, meditate.
00:48:18 Seventh, practice wisdom.
00:48:21 Eighth, avoid pointless talk.
00:48:39 Each of Buddha's disciples...
00:48:43 ...learned these Eight Means
00:48:47 Unless you study these...
00:48:51 ...you are not a Buddhist disciple.
00:48:54 You must not be negligent...
00:48:58 ...even for a moment.
00:49:49 Ejo.
00:49:52 Yes.
00:49:57 Let Orin take Buddhist orders.
00:50:06 Yes.
00:50:18 Zazen.
00:51:21 In the time of life...
00:51:25 ...there is none other than life.
00:51:30 In the time of death...
00:51:34 ...there is none other than death.
00:51:59 Master...
00:52:22 Continue...
00:52:26 ...to sit!
00:53:04 Dogen enters Nirvana, 1253
00:55:14 What a surprise.
00:55:18 To get alms from a monk.
00:55:21 Tell me, do monks
00:55:41 What the hell is this?
00:56:12 To study the Buddha Way...
00:56:15 ...is to study the self.
00:56:19 To study the self...
00:56:22 ...is to forget the self.
00:56:26 To forget the self...
00:56:30 ...is to be enlightened by everything.
00:56:34 To be enlightened by everything...
00:56:38 ...is to free your own...
00:56:42 ...body and mind...
00:56:45 ...and the body and mind of others.
00:57:08 You hold Buddha in your hands.
00:57:11 Buddha lives in your hands.
00:57:16 So let us hold him close
00:57:21 Is the Buddha in my hands?
00:57:25 That is right.
00:57:39 Hold your hands,
00:57:42 ...but like this.
00:57:46 Because it's raining...
