Le Japon compte un taux de suicide très élevé par rapport au reste de la planète. Là-bas, se donner la mort est vu comme un moyen de retrouver son honneur perdu. Et pour les Japonais, un lieu paraît plus évident que d'autres pour en finir avec la vie… une forêt aux nombreuses légendes. Son nom : Aokigahara. Entre beauté des paysages et ambiance des plus étranges, découvrez sa True Story. Une forêt unique La forêt Aokigahara, surnommée Jukai ou “la mer d'arbres” se situe au Japon, au pied du mont Fuji. Elle s'étend sur 35 km2. Née en 864 d'une coulée de lave de la célèbre montagne, elle repose sur un sol rocheux et couvert de mousse. Les bulles de gaz rejetées par la lave lors de la phase de solidification ont laissé sur leurs pas des cavités parfois profondes de plusieurs mètres et autres obstacles rocheux. De nombreuses espèces vivent dans ces bois, parmi elles des cerfs, des renards, des chauves-souris, ou encore des écureuils du Japon. Bien sûr, on y trouve aussi une multitude de végétaux, comme le pin emblématique du Japon, qu'on appelle aussi le Pruche. A l'ambiance inquiétante L'ambiance qui y règne semble assez étrange… on peut y observer de nombreux arbres enroulés autour de la pierre volcanique, des branches entrelacées et des racines qui rampent sous la mousse. Comme si la nature avait pris possession des lieux… Il y fait sombre, très sombre… En effet, les épais feuillages empêchent la lumière de passer. Ce qui rend l'ambiance encore plus inquiétante. Et pour renforcer cette étrange atmosphère, les sédiments rocheux absorbent les sons et rendent la forêt presque silencieuse. Le sentiment d'isolement y est très intense… Une ambiance renforcée par les nombreuses légendes qui entourent la forêt....

This Teisho was given by the Reverend Jay Rinsen Weik Roshi at the Buddhist Temple of Toledo on August 3, 2023. Rinsen Roshi speaks to the temple's 2023 Jukai cohort on the meaning of wearing the rakusu, the representation of the Buddha's robe.

Once again, allow me to address the sentiment prevalent amongst many Zen groups that the political realm is, and should remain, outside the pale - when it comes to topics appropriate to the scope of Buddhism and Zen. The “tongue of the Buddha” represented by the short, curled ceremonial stick carried by Zen priests (J. nyoi or katsu) is said to be “long and wide,” encompassing all four spheres of influence and action in my semantic model of real world Zen practice: the personal; the social; the natural; and the universal. In the social sphere, the political climate surely played a huge role – in Buddha's life and his decision to form the original order of Buddhist monastics – as well as in China, Japan, and other countries of origin.In our present situation, the incoming flack from the campaign looks more and more like the damaging hail from the record-setting onslaught of tornadoes and hurricanes being visited upon an ever-wider swath of the United States each year, in an ever-lengthening storm season, leaving major and minor damage in its wake. Unintended karmic consequence on a geologic scale.Looking into the rear-view mirror of history, we find that this — the issue of political leadership — has been a “known issue” throughout the development of Zen. From Taoism's roots in China, in “The Way of Life, According to Lao Tzu” (Capricorn Books, 1962), translated by Witter Bynner:17A leader is bestWhen people barely know that he exists,Not so good when people obey and acclaim him,Worst when they despise him.‘Fail to honor people, they fail to honor you';But of a good leader, who talks little,When his work is done, his aim fulfilled,They will say, ‘We did this ourselves.'Compare to protestations of wannabe leaders competing in the current campaign.Peering even further back into the fog of time, from “The Teaching of Buddha” we find the Buddha challenging philosophical and astrophysical speculation, as well as questioning the design intent of the optimum social order. In a shorter quote within a quote from last segment:In the search for truth there are certain questions that are unimportant. Of what material is the universe constructed? Is the universe eternal?... In what way is this human society put together? What is the ideal form of organization for human society?He follows with the admonition that:If a man were to postpone his searching and practicing for Enlightenment until such questions were solved, he would die before he found the path.In other words, whatever the political situation in which you may find yourself, get your personal priorities in order. Like everything else in life, the present political realm is impermanent, imperfect and insubstantial, the three marks of dukkha, the universal principle of change. Which change we find, more often than not, not to our liking.Then, after relating the famous metaphor of the man pierced with a poison arrow, he reminds us that: When a fire of passion is endangering the world, the composition of the universe matters little; what is the ideal form for the human community is not so important to deal with.Consider the various “fires of passion” now threatening our world on all fronts, and demanding a majority of our available bandwidth.Later, putting a fine point on it, the sage focuses squarely on personal training, while not ignoring the social, natural, and universal matrix of problems in which a person, then or now, is firmly enmeshed:The Buddha's teaching contains what is important to know and what is unimportant.Therefore, people should first discern what is the most important, what problem should be solved first and what is the most pressing issue for them. To do all this, they must first undertake to train their minds; that is, they must first seek mind-control.We have received our marching orders. “Mind-control” in this context does not carry the modern connotation of “brain-washing,” but the “discipline” side of the Eightfold Path: right effort, mindfulness, and meditation. In discerning the “problem that should be solved first,” we can not simply ignore causality – including proximate causes of political influence upon our lives. Perhaps the best way to deal with the repugnant pettiness of partisan politics is to continue comparing to the prescripts of Buddhism and Zen.The Repentance Verse, as translated by Shohaku Okumura-roshi in the Soto Zen Journal in February of 2004, on the Bodhisattva Precepts, is a good place to begin:All the twisted karma ever created by me, since of oldThrough beginningless greed, anger and ignoranceBorn of my body, speech and thoughtI now make complete repentance of it all“Twisted” may have overwrought undertones of neurosis, unlike the translation we usually chant. We repent our “past and harmful” karma – the litany of unhelpful, self-centered actions, and unintended consequences thereof – that we now “fully avow.” In other words, we are ‘fessing up, admitting that “mistakes were made.” Note that all this, however, comes with the territory of being a human being subject to the “three poisons,” various forms of greed, hatred and delusion that, though “born of this body, mouth, and mind,” comprise the “three actions” that can get us into trouble.How genuinely are our favorite candidates for public office manifesting this kind of self-awareness, accepting responsibility? How well are we, ourselves, doing in this regard?Okumura-roshi highlights the next steps in the traditional Precepts ceremony:The Three RefugesWe then take refuge in the Three Treasures: Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. The Buddha is the one who awakened to reality. The Dharma is reality itself, the way things truly are. The Sangha are the people who aspire to study and living according to the teaching of the reality of all beings.Taking refuge means, literally, returning to our true origins: our awakened nature; the reality in which we find ourselves; and like-minded folks struggling on the path. In today's political climate, the very notion of a shared reality seems under assault.The Threefold Pure [Precepts]Next, we receive the threefold pure precepts: (1) the precept of embracing moral codes, (2) the precept of embracing good deeds, (3) the precept of embracing all living beings. These three points are the direction we walk on the Bodhisattva path.Morality, as conventionally understood, also seems to be on the chopping block, or at least up for sale, in this election year cycle. Perhaps it was ever so, with one party's “good deeds” being another's social injustice. How do we embrace “all living beings,” when there are so many of them, competing for the same resources? And where, we might ask, have all the bodhisattvas gone?The Ten Major PreceptsThe ten major precepts are: (1) do not kill, (2) do not steal, (3) do not engage in improper sexual conduct, (4) do not lie, (5) do not deal in intoxicants, (6) do not criticize others, (7) do not praise self and slander others, (8) do not be stingy with the dharma or property, (9) do not give way to anger, (10) do not disparage the Three Treasures.We also express these prohibitory precepts with their positive side – “affirm life,” “be giving,” “honor the body,” “manifest truth,” and “proceed clearly” respectively – for the first five above, given to new initiates, for example. The second five are given to those who enter the formal path, with respect to the social consequences of representing Zen to the public, and so bear more scrutiny in the context of our political social servants. How closely are candidates for office at every level adhering to these admonitions, setting aside the Three Treasures, of which they may have little or no awareness.We could go on, with endless examples from the written record of Buddhist principles. For example, if we look at the Four Great Vows of the Bodhisattva path, we find:Beings are numberless; I vow to free themDelusions are inexhaustible; I vow to end themDharma gates are boundless; I vow to enter themThe Buddha way is unsurpassable; I vow to realize itCompare to various positions, platforms and policies proposed by pols and pundits – on immigration; income disparity; education; conventional truth; and the place of religion – in our efforts toward a “more perfect union.” How we doin' on those fronts?Jeffrey Lyons, a political science professor at Boise State University, found that “roughly three-quarters of kids who have two parents of the same party will fall on the same end of the political spectrum as their parents. As kids are growing up, their parents have an enormous amount of power in shaping their views.” (From: “Are Politics Hereditary?” – The Atlantic Jun 1, 2018).If true, this demographic factoid simplifies the picture enormously. We might conclude that the vast majority of voters are going to be biased in favor of their family and social history from childhood – nature and nurture – and not likely to be persuaded by rational or ideological argument, to switch allegiances. So much for independent thinking.So, once again, we return full-circle to the cushion. Do your own research, draw your own conclusions from your findings, and make your own recommendations to yourself for improving your chances of acting compassionately and wisely in the marketplace of politics, as well as within the community of folks who would rather not have to deal with politics at all. The ability to do so is surely more dependent upon our personal approach to meditation, than upon our social skills. Only if we are independent of the influence of ideology and partisan political pressures can we act interdependently for the good of all.We will revisit the political scene in July, when we celebrate Jukai, true independence. Until then, “Don't give up!”* * *Elliston Roshi is guiding teacher of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center and abbot of the Silent Thunder Order.

In a world where the Dharma is one, not holding dualistic concepts about ordinary beings and awakened beings is called the vow of not disparaging these Three Treasures.Dogen: Your expression of the actual body is the harbor and the weir. This is the most important thing in the world. Its power comes from the ocean of essential nature. It is beyond explanation—we just accept it with respect and gratitude. Support the show

In a world where the Dharma is selfless, not contriving reality for yourself is called the vow of not indulging in anger.Dogen: Not attacking, not withdrawing, not real or unreal.

In a world where the Dharma is everywhere, not holding back resources is called the vow of not being stingy.Dogen: A phrase, a verse: that is everything—each blade of grass. This way, this realization: that is all the Buddhas and Ancestors. From the beginning, there has been no stinginess at all. Support the show

DARK WATER, KOJI SUZUKI (Hamamatsu, 1957) es el escritor de terror y ciencia ficción más célebre y aclamado de Japón. Tras graduarse en la universidad de Keio, desempeñó diversos trabajos —entre ellos el de profesor— antes de dedicarse por completo a la escritura. En 1990 fue galardonado con el premio de Novela Fantástica de Japón por Rakuen y, al año siguiente, alcanzó el éxito comercial con The Ring , novela que abre su trilogía Ringu y que fue llevada al cine por Hideo Nakata en 1998, convirtiéndose en la película más taquillera del año, desatando el aplauso unánime de la crítica y catapultando a Suzuki a la fama mundial. En 1996 vio la luz la colección de relatos de horror Dark Water , de la cual he seleccionado el relato que esta noche os voy a leer y que también serviría de inspiración para la aclamada película del mismo nombre de Hideo Nakata en 2002. Sin bajarse del carro del éxito, Suzuki ha continuado explorando la oscura senda del horror psicológico y los sinuosos caminos de la ciencia ficción apocalíptica en obras como Kamigami no promenade (2003) o Edge (2008). En su último trabajo, Jukai (2015), Suzuki se adentra en los misterios que se ocultan entre los árboles del bosque de Aokigahara, el Bosque de los Suicidas. Pese al empeño en colgarle el sambenito de «Stephen King nipón» , el autor de Dark Water , admirador de Camus, Hemingway, Sartre, Scott Fitzgerald, Osamu Dazai o Salinger, experto en educación infantil y padre entregado (de ahí quizá su obsesión con los niños como víctimas indefensas de un mundo implacable) no se preocupa tanto de asustar como de «… transmitir un sentimiento de coraje, un sentimiento de energía (…). su obra no es en definitiva simplemente horror. Lo que realmente le gusta escribir son historias situadas en el océano, de hombres que desafían (las circunstancias) y se superan a sí mismos. Historias de supervivencia de personas atrapadas en situaciones de dificultad extrema, pero que aun así se esfuerzan por prevalecer». Elemento imprescindible para la vida, el agua se transforma en heraldo de la muerte y en germen del terror primigenio. Las historias de Koji Suzuki navegan en el océano del horror, la angustia y el pánico. La alucinación y los fantasmas imaginarios producto del pánico, el miedo o la obsesión, bastan para conseguir la atmósfera de pavor, amenaza y peligro que acompaña siempre los relatos de Suzuki. Entretanto, deseo que disfruten de su húmedo paseo en este barco de palabras que se desliza sinuoso sobre aguas muy, muy oscuras. En cualquier caso, es siempre mejor atreverse a navegar por ellas… que esperar a que vengan a por ti.

As three of the temple's congregation get ready to travel in a few days to the monastery, where they will participate in Jukai, Rev. Clairissa offers some thoughts for us all to consider on the joyous occasion of their significant spiritual step of becoming lay Buddhists. Jukai is the Japanese term for the five ceremonies of receiving the Precepts in our tradition of Sōtō Zen. During Jukai, a weeklong retreat is held at the monastery for the purpose of searching one's own heart and committing to follow the Buddhist path. 

"Tu vida es un hermoso regalo de tus padres. Por favor piensa en tus padres, hermanos e hijos. No te lo guardes. Habla de tus problemas". Eso dice, en japonés, uno de los carteles situado en la entrada de Aokigahara, conocido también como Jukai, o "mar de árboles", el bosque situado en la base del monte Fuji, en Japón y que es tristemente célebre por ser el enclave preferido para muchos japoneses que deciden acabar con su vida. Hoy te contamos más sobre este tenebroso lugar.Una producción de D+Media Agency @DplusMediaAgencyProducción EjecutivaDaniela Ormazábal y Federico CapocciEdición, montaje y música originalFederico CapocciSuscríbete a nuestro Patreon para contenido exclusivo y sorpresashttps://www.patreon.com/cosasmuyimportantes
