In this interview I am joined by John Brehm, American poet and author of ‘The Dharma of Poetry'. John recalls his early life in Nebraska, formation as an unlikely poet, use of psychedelics, and discovery of the aesthetic impulse. John reads ‘Non-Harming', a poem from his latest book ‘Dharma Talk', and reflects on the use of poetry for personal and religious edification, as well as the power of exposing one's darker dimensions in verse. John also discusses how to achieve profundity in poetry, the skilful use of language, why T.S. Eliot is so often criticised, and how to detect the unmistakable whiff of ego. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep230-the-dharma-of-poetry-john-brehm

In this episode, Ben and Pat are joined by special guest Daniele Bolelli (History on Fire, the Drunken Taoist) to discuss his favorite badass of all time -- Japanese Zen Buddhist monk Ikkyu Sojun, an extremely unlikely character more well-known for his wild parties and drunken carousing than his ability to slaughter his foes on the battlefield. Daniele discusses the strange, mystical, and genuinely-hilarious life of one of Japan's most eccentric weirdoes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our guests are Joelle Sambuc Bloise and Aldo Bloise, who are the co-founders of Ikkyu. Ikkyu is a unique tea company that sells high-quality Japanese tea based in the southern island of Kyushu. If you live outside of Japan, it is not easy to find reasonably priced high-quality Japanese tea. Then I heard about Ikkyu. I ordered some tea from the website and I had some wonderful new discoveries! Of course, there are other great Japanese tea companies but I got particularly interested in Ikkyu's focus on the terroir of Kyushu island. In this episode, we will discuss how Joelle and Aldo decided to move to Japan even though they had a solid professional career in Switzerland, how they discovered the charm of Japanese tea, why you should try Japanese tea beyond matcha, the unique terroir of Kyushu Island, and much, much more!!!Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

This week author and translator John Stevens joins us from Hawaii. Stevens has penned many books over his long career, mainly dealing with Japanese martial arts, poetry, and biography.“A book should be enlightening for the writer, and for the people reading it.” —John StevensAmy starts off the show mentioning the books of Stevens that she has read: The Marathon Monks of Mt. Hiei; The Essence of Aikido: Spiritual Teachings of Morihei Ueshiba; Dew Drops on a Lotus Leaf: Zen Poems of Ryokan; and Mountain Tasting: Haiku and Journals of Santoka Taneda. Yet that is only a fraction of the works that Stevens has produced over his life.He explains his translation style and how he manages to capture the essence of haiku in his translations. He names Arthur Waley as an exemplar of the craft.“A good translation has to be good literature, fine literature."Stevens talks about his first book, One Robe, One Bowl (Tuttle Publishing).His second book was Mountain Tasting: Haiku and Journals of Santoka Taneda (White Pine Press). Of his books on aikido, he says the most popular has been The Art of Peace: Teachings of the Founder of Aikido (Shambhala), which has over 2,300 ratings on Amazon and has been further translated into over 20 languages.Amy reads a poem from Dew Drops on a Lotus Leaf (Shambhala), which prompts Stevens to talk about his passion for poetry and translation:"If you don't feel the passion and the poignancy, then it's not a translation.”When talking about the writing process:"Writing a book should be enlightening, for both you writing it and for the people reading it," says Stevens. "My writing was an extension of my [Aikido] practice.”Other popular books by Stevens are The Essence of Aikido: Spiritual Teachings of Morihei Ueshiba (Kodansha International), and The Marathon Monks of Mt. Hiei (Echo Point Books & Media).Stevens tells a story of going to Sendai to meet a master Aikido teacher, Shirata-sensei, in Yamagata. "I'd arrive at the dojo, no one was there. He was there. He was never not there. And he was sitting, meditating. I learned something: that if you're a teacher, you've got to be there all the time.”The author and translator also talks about his book Lust for Enlightenment (Shambhala) and why it was controversial, as well as Tantra of Tachikawa Ryu: Secret Sex Teachings of the Buddha (Stone Bridge Press).More recently, Stevens has been working with art exhibitions and writing exhibition catalogues. He is currently working on a display in Spain centered around the Kyoto poet and Buddhist nun Rengetsu at the Gothic Monastery of Pedralbes in Barcelona until May 27, 2022. If you need a primer before you go, get a copy of Stevens's Rengetsu: Life & Poetry of Lotus Moon (Echo Point Books & Media). The Barcelona exhibit, which has been open to the public since November 2021 and is titled "La lluna de Lotus" in Spanish, includes 36 ceramic pieces and 30 paintings and calligraphy by the female artist. Lastly, Amy asks Stevens what his favorite books on Japan are:Poetry and Zen: Letters and Uncollected writings of R.H. Blyth by R.H. Blyth and Norman WaddellZen and Japanese Culture by Daisetzu T. SuzukiThe Unknown Craftsman: A Japanese Insight into Beauty by Soetsu Yanagi and Bernard LeachDon't miss John Stevens next book The Art of Budoh: Painting and Calligraphy by Japanese Masters (Shambhala, Dec 2022).More Books by John Stevens:Seeing Zen (Floating World Editions)Sacred Calligraphy of the East (Echo Point Books & Media)Extraordinary Zen Masters; A Maverick, A Master of Masters, and a Wondering Poet (Echo Point Books & Media)Budo: Teachings of the Founder of Aikido (Kodansha USA)The Secret Teachings of Aikido (Kodansha USA)The Heart of Aikido; The Philosophy of Takemusu Aiki (Kodansha International)Wild Ways: Ikkyu (White Pine Press)Philosophy of Aikido (Echo Point Books & Media)And many, many more!

This week on the podcast, we're talking the tale of the iconoclastic monk Ikkyu Sojun. His fame is predicated on an odd combination of Zen austerity and the embrace of the wine shop and the brothel, rather than the temple, as the place to seek enlightenment. Show notes here

In this episode we consider the effect of meditation practice and classical enlightenment on sexuality, as we continue the ongoing conversation between:

 - Shinzen Young, meditation teacher and neuroscience research consultant
 - Chelsey Fasano, a Columbia University neuroscience student 
- Dr Jay Sanguinetti, Assistant Director for the Center for Consciousness Studies and Research Professor at the University of New Mexico We recall Leigh Brasington's statements in episode 115 that many of his students experience states of meditative absorption as erotic in nature, and we consider Chelsey's observation that Leigh's brain scans in these absorption states resemble images of the brain during orgasm. I contrast early Buddhist scriptural statements which state that it is impossible for enlightened people to have sexual intercourse with later, highly sexual accounts of enlightened masters such as ‘The Saint of 5000 Women', Drukpa Kunley, and Rinzai saint and erotic poet Ikkyū Sōjun, and pose the question, ‘What does the data say?'. In the face of this apparent disagreement within the wisdom traditions about the effect of realisation on sexuality, what trends have the panel observed in the sexuality of their meditation students, and in their ultra-sound subjects, and what might that tell us about the real world consequences of deep meditation practice and/or brain stimulation aimed at classical enlightenment. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/ep119-sex-and-enlightenment-shinzen-young-chelsey-fasano-dr-jay-sanguinetti/

Julie Nelson gives an encouragement about just wanting to see or to have "the good parts," including the good parts of ourselves. The text is a poem by Ikkyu. (August 19, 2021)

Ikkyu said, "Like a vanishing dew, a passing apparition or sudden flash of lighting - already gone - thus should one regard one's self." This is my talk on the self. We teach that all things are impermanent, and that includes us. (sorry) If you want to donate to support this work, you can do so here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/danielscharpenburg

Osho introduces the mystery, the wonder, and the emptiness that is Zen. He uses the poetry of one of the most outrageous Zen masters, Ikkyu, to show the ways and methods a Zen master uses to permanently transform, rather than simply inform. Osho and Ikkyu's whole message is about how to experience the essence of emptiness: that blissful state of no-mind where all old conditionings are gone and man is free just to be himself. As Osho speaks of Ikkyu, and answers people's questions, he is also speaking of himself. As he speaks of who Ikkyu is, he is revealing more about himself.

Rinzai, who brought Zen from China to Japan, is truly a master of the irrational - a Zen master who sticks his tongue out at one disciple and who created the shout as a device to shock the mind. Osho continually reminds us that it is only a question of time, that everyone is going to become a buddha. He encourages the reader not to believe, but to experience - to have the trust that "if so many people can become enlightened, there is no reason why I cannot." In this small volume he also comments on the timeless paintings-in-words of the famous haiku writer, Ikkyu.

Olivier Le Guen is originally from France, and currently living in Mexico. He’s been training for only a few years (3), during which time, and holds the rank of Ikkyu in Kendo (soon shodan) and shodan in Iaido (soon nidan!). In this wide-ranging conversation, we talked about being an adult and starting (again) in Budo and how Olivier is approaching the practice and history of budo, especially kendo, iaido and naginata. Olivier has produced many articles and videos that reveal the deep culture from which our arts originate.

Toxic Baby Food? . . . What? In this episode we go back to our discussion on conspiracy and ask what do the more Eastern philosophical texts say about these ideas? In a sense, do they say we are ALL living in a kind of Conspiracy? We start the show by highlighting the suppression of information in the public sphere--that's the Toxic Baby Food Part-- and our responsibility to search for the What May Not Yet Be Known . . . We discuss Astrology and the Age of Aquarius. Then we dive into Taoist and Zen philosophers: Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu and the Zen poet Ikkyu. From Chuang Tzu, “I cannot tell if what the world considers ‘happiness' is happiness or not. All I know is that when I consider the way they go about attaining it, I see them carried away headlong, grim and obsessed, in the general onrush of the human herd, unable to stop themselves or to change their direction. All the while they claim to be just on the point of attaining happiness.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gintantra/message

Strangely wondrous and wondrously strange times we’re living in. An in-between bardo quality and nature to it all – which is fundamentally how it is at all times, but these days it’s all so utterly vivid, palpable, in our faces and our doing and our beings. The mixing and blending of so many things: sorrows and joys, clarity and confusion, loss and renewal, grief and hope, old wounds never healed and the growth of new life sparking. Trying to sort through it all, to choose one thing over another and land anywhere in particular seems a fruitless endeavor. And that's because, truly, it is. Fortunately, that not the invitation, that’s not the task being asked of us, that's not the way through. The invitation is to meet it as it is, as it comes, each thing, all things, whether they arrive individually on their own terms or show up mixed together as they dance along together or appear as one enormous, uninterpretable, confounding lump. Let us acknowledge it all, meet it all, and enter with it all, here. Support the show (https://www.paypal.me/apalmr)

Sometimes koans present us with images and descriptions that are strange and mysterious while at the same time seeming familiar and personal. Keeping company with and exploring these resonances, we can find many facets touching into and speaking to our lives and experiences, unlocking and releasing a deep wisdom and freedom that has always been. As we kept company with the koan below, one person found a troubling tangle from her day suddenly gone, resolved, and a sense of ease opening up; another found a long-forgotten memory from childhood arising, reconnecting him with an inherent sense of sufficiency and abundance; and someone else noticed how she seems to be continually buoyed along somehow, with all that she needs always readily at hand, available and accessible whenever reached for.So meet the koan for yourself, let the episode here nourish and encourage you as you journey along together, and see what you discover being unlocked, opened, and freed.In a well no one dugwater ripples from a spring that doesn't flow.Someone with no shadow or formis drawing the water.-Ikkyu Support the show (https://www.paypal.me/apalmr)

In a special History of Zen, Dave turns to the life and poetry of Ikkyu to try to answer the question of how Zen has historically responded to times of crisis. In Ikkyu’s case the answer was great art, bad behavior, and a desperate need to get to the ultimate truth of a world that felt like it had left any such thing behind. Join us as Dave brings us his compelling life story along with some bawdy and beautiful poetry, including an extended reading from Stephen Berg's classic free verse translations "Crow With No Mouth."

My colleagues and I visited the Asian Art Museum some years back, and a particular piece in an exhibition called Seduction: Japan's Floating World drew me in, inspiring this talk. At the heart, it's about how the passions of life - those that ignite us, those that confound us, those that plague us - are not inherently hindrances and obstacles, but rather the very medicine needed to fuel and make possible our awakening.Support the show (https://www.paypal.me/apalmr)

So many History on Fire episodes feature incredibly violent pages from humanity’s past. This is not one of those episodes. The hero of our tale was too busy enjoying life in 15th century Japan to join the civil wars raging around him or to go around killing people. As the illegitimate son of the Emperor of Japan, Ikkyu Sojun experienced the harsh side of life from the moment he was born, but always looked for a way not to let it spoil his good mood. His main passions (in no particular order) were Zen Buddhism, sex and drinking. And in the midst of the endless party that was in life, he managed to have a tremendously powerful impact on Japanese culture. In this episode, we see Ikkyu’s wanderings taking him through torrid love affairs, friendships with pirate-merchants, and clashes with the Zen establishment. Living in an age of shoguns being assassinated, peasant uprisings, and the fury of the Onin War, Ikkyu found the time to save very Zen temple he had criticized throughout his life, and to launch an artistic renaissance that would have a lasting impact on Japanese history. In the course of our journey, we’ll find out how Ikkyu affected the creation of tea ceremony, how he and Lady Mori shared the greatest love story in Japanese history, and Ikkyu can teach about finding joy in the midst of suffering

This episode we talk about the development of tea culture and the tea ceremony during the 15th and 16th century.  Tea as an art began to develop throughout the late 15th and early 16th century into an activity that brought commoners, aristocrats, and Daimyo together in the tea rooms across Japan, and tea masters such as Murata Shuko, Takeno Joo, and Sen no Rikyu came to prominence.

He got into Zen whilst being the bass guitarist for punk rock band Zero Defex, he is also a blogger, and the author of Sex, Sin, and Zen.   Sex, Sin, and Zen is probably one of my favorite books out there and has made me realize how I relate to Zen Buddhism and the similarities of its teachings to basic principles I live by. In this episode, we talk about Zen Buddhism, its teachings, meditation, and how Zen Buddhism views some of the most controversial subjects of our time.   Clear your mind, get grounded and tune into our conversation as we discuss: How Brad views the correlation of punk rock and Zen Buddhism, and its similarities in terms of questioning realities (3:09). What are the forms of Buddhism, and what is Zen Buddhism (4:43)? How Brad ended up writing about sex, Buddhism's interpretation of sex and sexuality, its background, the percept that Buddha used as a guide on this subject (8:06, 18:26; 19:57); and its rules for lay people (20:54, 24:11). How meditating can make it easier for an individual to reflect on their behavior and if one is going wrong (14:10). The Four Noble Truths, dealing with desires, and how Brad interprets these based on his teacher's wisdom (16:43). The Buddhist stand on homosexuality and an anecdote on how it was misinterpreted a few years ago (21:34). The Bodhisattva vows and his understanding of it (28:00). How Buddhism views porn (31:06), and an analogy he made about porn to vegetarianism (34:49). Buddhism's perception of abortion, where we're introduced to Jizo (36:12), and of prostitution, where we will be introduced to Ikkyu (41:02). The concept of attachment and how this leads to pain and suffering (43:35). How non-attachment may seem like complacency, the truth about the concept of acceptance (46:51), and how to fight for something while still practicing compassion (49:16). A Zazen meditation crash-course (51:30). If you want to reach Brad Warner, go to www.modernsextalks.com/sexsinzen for his info in the show notes.

Genjo Marinello Osho gave this Teisho during the middle day of August, 2016, Odayaka Sesshin at Chobo-Ji.  This talk examines what it is to be a positive bodhisattva in this life: offering love that is not dependent on happiness.
