Japan Spirit and Form #3

Published on Oct 26, 2014

#3: Discovery of the “Pure Land” This episode looks at the Kamakura Period of Japanese history (12th-14th centuries) and the ways Buddhism of the time influenced so much of the art of the period, particularly statues of Buddha, statues of prominent monks, painted scenes reflecting Buddhist beliefs, and a new kind of portrait painting that emerged during that period. Temples in Japan that are visited include: Todaiji, Jingoji, Higashi Honganji and Sanjusangendo, with its rows of statues of Kannon. Monks referenced include Chogen, Zendo Daishi, Ikkyu Sojun and Shinran. We see contemporary artists at work, including Shiko Munakata, a woodblock artist. Shuichi Kato comments from time to time and points out the influence of Japanese monk portraits on a much later school of European artists, most notably Vincent Van Gogh. Ashley Thom provides the English narration. Akira Mitake composed the music. This series is an NHK production from 1989.

Published on Oct 25, 2014

The Japanese tea ceremony is a special way of making green tea (matcha 抹茶). It is called the Way of Tea. It is a Japanese cultural activity involving the ceremonial preparation and presentation of matcha, powdered tea. People who study the tea ceremony have to learn about different kinds of tea. They also have to learn about kimono (Japanese clothes), flowers, and many other things. It takes much practice to learn the tea ceremony. Zen Buddhism was a primary influence in the development of the Japanese tea ceremony.

Quando o Dalai Lama fugiu do Tibete em 1959, após a revolta de Lhasa sem sucesso, a dispersão do povo tibetano começou em massa. Em seu novo documentário, When the Iron Bird Flies, Victress Hitchcock, um antigo praticante budista, traça talvez o resultado mais inesperado desta trágica historia, a chegada do budismo Tibetano no Ocidente. “Tudo tem dois lados”, disse o professor tibetano Rinpoche Tsoknyi sem muita emoção em uma cena. “Lado triste é que perdemos país. Lado da sorte é que o dharma percorreu todo o mundo. “

When the Iron Bird Flies é um retrato convincente do moderno budismo tibetano fora do Tibete. Nós assistimos monges e monjas vestidos de carmesim usando telefones celulares e andando em carros de golfe, e inúmeros convertidos ocidentais em vestes – alguns em mantos de monges e outros em jeans – praticando o dharma em casas, templos, escolas e prisões da Índia para a Grã-Bretanha ou para a América ou para o México.
