4:36 What are some Japanese company examples using the character 鐵?

this is insane

I personally would interpret 空 as "empty" rather than "sky".

Not such an accurate explanation from a Buddhist POV.

just read it in sanskrit at this point

Why are any of you complaining?? It's like you've never seen kanji before. Japanese is all kanji!! Why are you suddenly so scared of it! Chinese is also all kanji, but I'm sure you wouldn't have complained about that, because it's not just kanji, it's actual words! That's the same thing here in japanese!

Imagine trying to go to bed at 2 am and you hear a 16 year old Japanese kid chanting this 3 times at once somehow and he just doesn't stop for like 40 minutes.

Bruh this shit is just Chinese at this point

I had some buddhists try to recruit me in saitama once, and they had a different prayer for it. I hear they target foreigners. I somewhat understand japanese, but these prayers are just a chain of Onyomi, which is impossible to understand unless you know chinese.

why is there #indoctrinate in the descrptiogn What

yeah i would like to ask uhhh what the fuck

This is so depressing

Thank you, cool summary of much of wisdom. Im sorry if i derail too much from the videos concept, or seem like religiously blind or make it too personal, bloggy or boring or it looks forced and i have nobody and nowhere really to discuss anything related to buddhism. But however much anyone values testimonies on the internet i assure that core concepts of buddhism is what you realize after you tell truth from lie, real from false for long enough and purify your catalogue of knowledge and knowledge itself without picking any side but studying everything as objectively as possible. Then you derail your thought into existentialism one day. I always was much into philosophy but i pursued engineering and due to that I will invoke maths a lot as a bedrock of this reality. And to clarify I had no idea what buddhism is at the time. If anyone wishes to study a raw example here I give it: 1. As I kept figuring out that boundaries between definitions are blurry depending on who you ask, and by how you set criteria, treshhold, and how you inspect the subject, and even your own eyes and mind might lead you into a false conclusion by experience or lack of it and many other factors with the observer to blame and not reality. If so then any word and any thought can mean anything or nothing at all. All perception is relative. If i challanged anyone to imagine and image of a dog - everyone will get a different picture which means that it is not the same concept ultimately. You cannot have 2 of the same set in maths where one is in any tiniest way different from the other. 2. How it is to describe colors to the blind, or the blind describing blindness to us? Incompatibile senses and inability to transmit the exact experience which shared by meaningless words, yet both who see and who dont see exist at the same time in the same world making physical sense since physics does not break down in this case. So physics is fine, and our abilities are incorrect. 3. Question of whether swapping surgically a finger with friend and living like that for 50 years, then you ask yourself - now is it my finger, or is it his? All basic properties get blurry, but this state of matter for fingers exists without a failure of physics because if it is physically possible then it must be the fault of the observer to make false conclusions because appearently it is a possible state of the world. 4. If a human is made of cells, and cells are made of dead matter, then by logic of the smallest build blocks being combined into the highest order as we do in mathematics - then I must be dead too. So what is living and what is not? Another crucial yet pointless made up boundary. If I cannot possibly prove any difference from life and its lack, then it must be the same thing according to maths because if two sets have equal contents then it must be the same set but with a different name. So life and lack of it must be the same thing. 5. Vastness of the world struck me realizing how little space, how little time and how little energy I take place in and are made up of. How my name couldve never even come to existence among seemingly infinitely many others, and after I am gone how nobody will ever remember me at the end of time. History is not revertible (not going into theoretical physics but being a human realist). If so then all riches, fame, pleasure and anything I accumulate and strive for in this world is ultimately not a sensible investment. Impermanence. The world is in a move since forever and until eternity. All value we tie to history of anything including our life is ultimately empty and is not sensible. I figured considering all the above that if I can share the finger, then I cannot be fully defined as "me" because what is me? A blurry definition. If there is no "me" but there is a world that holds the guys with swapped fingers, or the blind and the seeing without bluescreening - that is when I figured that there is one universal interconnected web of everything that I am an integral part of and not separate in any way. Vastness of the world and its constant change made me lose all sensible hope for striving for anything in this world, attaching to anything, combined with the "me" boundary resulted in me giving up my personality. But if it is the natural way then it must be the correct way. If my body and my person is not worth attachment or keeping then I can let go of my personality and all my form. Primordial substance that is us all will always remain, just expressed in different ways but having the same base. Like you cannot create or delete energy in the universe and can convert types of energy into other types of energy, but since all these processes are revertible then either is fine. By that "either is fine", detachment from my person I ultimately quit preferences for anything. Im almost sleeping as I am typing, but I ultimately realized that it all is a reality warped by our perception into a lunacy where nothing is better than anything because it just is and it was meant to be like this. There is nothing to prefer, nothing to find anything in, all is one base substance that just changes its form for a brief time like a wave in sea rising and then returning into the sea to even its level so you cannot tell apart its remains from anything else. Total amount of water did not change, energy did not either, it is exactly the same for us. If i were to artificially preserve any wave and make it permanent it would take too much resources and I would still fail, same with striving for eternal youth and all achievements, joy or anything seemingly pleasurable of life. It just is that way, the only natural way and so a correct way. I was quite depressed at that time as a teen but I tried hiding it. I saw no purpose, covered in nihilism. When I came to full realization and all these elements clicked together I managed to chill. Not even an hour passed and I never was depressed again. All I felt is overwhelming peace, not pleasure but peace. I lived fine everafter. Now I do not feel joy nor sadness, I never wished for anything lavish or at all. I set no expectations really. I am far from perfecting it, in fact I play a game of this illusory life, but if either way is fine and makes no difference then I will slow down with it. I do not feel fully liberated but it was one single moment of my life where I think was where I matured to who I am up until today. If anyone is a depressed kid - the sooner you understand and embrace it the sooner you will be free from everything but limits of physics. I learned of buddhism around one year afterwards and it was very strange to hear these thoughts that I had with myself being discussed. I am sure I missed a lot and probably sound boring or like I want praise, but it truly changes a human if they graduate to that level. And I contridict myself praising one way of life of any other - yes. But I do not care. I do not really know how to best describe it besides just feeling numbness to all earthly things - peace. Where do I study the topic more? I am not interested in the religious aspect of buddhism, but it nonetheless has almost perfect grasp on reality and our human role in it. I assume I made cotridictions or it is not well thought out, so it can serve as a general purpose sketch rather than science. Whatever now happens I am at peace. Exams? Peace. Imminent harm threat? Peace. Physical pain? Peace. Mental pain? You cannot sense it, peace more than anything. Untiltable focus and unmovable feelings. All that remains of you is a shell in flesh and bone. The more you nullify the person - the less you feel. Nirvana is when no human inhibits it anymore. Nirvana is death while being alive.

Admit it, you uploaded this video just to chant out the Heart Sutra 😜

happiness = nothing, so the only way to be happy is destroing the universe, gotch you

This video is nothing and nothing is this video, therefore the test next week is also nothing and I can fail without fear. Time to sit under a tree pretending I'm enlightened!

ok nice you tricked us into reading Chinese didn't you

Terrifically supurbarashi 🗣️

How does the poem work grammatically without particles and hiragana

Why all Kanji? Because it’s a translation of another translation(Chinese) with only two Kanji difference.

Gracias, gran video, Maruhi. Desafortunadamente para ti, estoy adentro de tus muros.

after listening to my grandma reading all these everyday for the first 15 years of my life I think I could at least memorise the first line

thank you! I love the heart sutra! so much wisdom!

apparently i’m too stupid to understand any of that. but the video is pure gold, I can feel it

This is a vocaloid song too.

just commentin a comment

0:18 how did you know

"Hey, can you name all the non-jouyou kanji?” Me:

the actual challenge is understanding it (impossible)

Good lord, all that Kanji

My country's Alabama is either Puglia or Sardegna (in Italy), crazy shit happens there

BLUEJAYS MENTIONED

I'm from Indonesia. I've never ever thought that I'd find a Japanese lesson with nihilistic philosophy that discusses the deeper truth, fact, & reality about how life is meaningless.

一軒家😊

粒😮

You're extremely underrated ngl, one of the most helpful resources

Should defo do 四字熟語

Hey following this lesson you could make one about _っと Words

Verbs? more like nouns that can be combined with the suru verb

6:35 so what I think is that, in Chinese there's two P, one aspirated, one unaspirated, and in Pinyin unaspirated one is romanised as B (because Mandarin speaker cant diffienciate between P and B, and foreigner don't know how to pronounce unaspirated P or unable to diffienciate between unaspirated and aspirated.) so it actually make sense.
