Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Patrul Rinpoche (1808–1887)

I claim to be arousing bodhicitta, but still do not have it. I have trained in the path of the six perfections, but have remained selfish. Bless me and small-minded beings like me, That we may train in the sublime bodhicitta. — Patrul Rinpoche (1808–1887)

Today we got lost on a mountain road but ended up at a beautiful temple I've always wanted to visit. Katsuō-ji (勝尾寺) in northern Ōsaka Prefecture is primarily associated with the Shingon sect, and might go back to Kūkai or earlier, but it also incorporates Daruma (Bodhidharma, who transmitted meditation practices from India to China that in Japan became Zen Buddhism). Yet it is more like folk religion in Japan when people pray to Daruma to achieve their goals. As a testament, innumerable Daruma dolls have been left to decorate Katsuō-ji. The temple is photogenic and, untypical of Japanese architecture that blends with nature, more flashy in colors that appeal to Asian and other tourists. Similarly, chanting of the Heart Sūtra and other Buddhist scriptures is amplified, so the experience is more exciting than contemplative. Having a Shintō shrine in the Buddhist temple, however, is a syncretic practice harking back to Kūkai.

Our timing of mid-April was lucky with weeping sakura blooming all over the mountainside, whereas sakura season is mostly over elsewhere in western and central Japan
Daruma (Bodhidharma) dolls all over the temple, with the theme of winning or victory (勝) in the temple's name

New York City Co-Names Street “Thich Nhat Hanh Way” in Honor of Renowned Zen Teacher

lemmy.selfhostcat.com/post/441

lemmy.selfhostcat.comNew York City Co-Names Street “Thich Nhat Hanh Way” in Honor of Renowned Zen Teacher - Selfhost Cat> Thich Nhat Hanh lived at 306 West 109th Street from 1962 to 1963 while studying and teaching at Union Theological Seminary (UTS) and Columbia University. This period marked a formative chapter in his life as a young scholar, teacher, and activist. > The street co-naming takes on added historical resonance as it coincides closely with the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War — a conflict during which Thich Nhat Hanh, born in Vietnam in 1926 and affectionately known as “Thay” by his students, was exiled for his outspoken advocacy for peace and reconciliation. > His efforts to end the violence led Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967, calling him “an Apostle of peace and nonviolence.” Over the decades, his teachings and writings on mindfulness and compassion have reached millions around the world, earning him recognition as “The Father of Mindfulness.”

Once again getting my mind blown by languages and etymology. The Pali word samatha leads to samādhi which is also the Bangla word for grave or final resting place. I mean it’s not a complete surprise. Although not direct, Bangla is a descendant of Pali. It’s kinda refreshing is learn Buddhism concepts through the Bangla lens
