Moving From Emptiness: The Life and Art of a Zen Dude | Full Documentary Movie
Фильм және анимация
Playful. Profound. Meditative. Deeply healing. Moving from Emptiness: The Life and Art of a Zen Dude is more than just a film, it’s a transformational experience. The film begins with an exploration of creativity. Where does it come from? Zen calligraphic painter Alok Hsu Kwang-han proposes that it arises from emptiness, from that silent space that houses the intelligence prior to thought. Armed with rice paper, ink, brush, and a collection of Zen teachings and koans, he unlocks a magical door for his students. According to Alok, he teaches painting “by not teaching painting.” Instead he shows students how to get out of their own way so that “creativity happens by itself.”
Alok is truly a Zen dude and through him we discover the world of Zen. Like a performance artist, he deeply enters this space of silence preparing to paint in front of audiences and groups. Moments later, the crowd delights as his artwork appears before their eyes with a few elegant strokes of the brush.
Alok lives his life very much like he teaches his workshops: remaining open to both beauty and pain, bringing presence and acceptance to whatever arises in front of him and vowing to set endless heartaches to rest. He does it all while invoking a spunky sense of humor that keeps us smiling.
On the verge of his 75th birthday and with a new love in his life, Alok employs his teachings to confront his own personal history. Through his workshops and his art we share a journey of transformation that becomes possible when we are simply "present, available, playful, and not knowing."

A spiritual teacher. Anathema
Everything has a logical process. Even illogical elements follow a logical process. In this case first of all you have to find emptiness, once it is found, you have to get acquainted with it, and the last step is to let emptiness manifest itself. Whatever your field of expertise, you have to train yourself to let emptiness do the job. When hearing, reading, or thinking of any teaching, you are still full of words and concepts and emptiness cannot manifest itself. Nobody can be guided to experience emptiness, you have to do the work by yourself.
Blessed Assurance.
Thank you for being.
Soft- heart opening
This was really great!
That painting at 3:25 makes sense!!! It is beautiful.
I did not even think about the bumper car shape, until you mentioned it. That is extra cute. VERY streamlined, too. Like, a super-modern, super-sleek Jetsonmobile from GOD, Himself.
Our fire comes from God.

Did we dream the SAME DREAM?!?!? However...it was NOT a bumper car. That machine had a very specific, Divine purpose.

Actually it's the old peach tree that appeared earlier in the film, which Raylene and Alok had bandaged up and it produced authentic yummy fruit.🙃

However; I know that she is fine.
***how to hold a brush and not give a f*** the greatest thing this man's art reveals is the manipulative nature of humankind, no different than when one pulls from a tarot deck, one superimposes their limited experience unto the card (or brush stroke) and attempts to convince others of seeing the same.
こんな人がお寺の禅を知る人だとは思えない。 もともと芸術家で大衆にヒットしそうな流行を考えて禅を被せたように見えるけどもね。日本の僧侶は小石でも余計な動きはしません。
