Solaris (1972) Andrei Tarkovsky (Russian) Director based on a book by Stanislaw Lem (Polish territory, now part of Ukraine) “When i sleep, i know no fear, no hope, no trouble, o bliss. Blessings on him who invented sleep; the common coin that purchases all things; the balance that levels shepherds and kings, fool and wise man. There is only one bad thing about sound sleep, they say it closely resembles death” ~ Gibarian “We have no interest in conquering any cosmos. We want to extend the earth to the borders of the cosmos. We don’t know what to do with other worlds. We don’t need other worlds. We need a mirror. We struggle for contact, but we’ll never find it. We’re in the foolish human predicament of struggling for a goal that he fears, that he has no need for. Man needs Man.” ~ Snaut . . . . . i am relatively new here and was interested to know if any of this resonates “we need a mirror” stands out in my mind

Classical Daoism – Is There Really Such a Thing? Daojia 道家 and Huang-Lao 黃、老 Classical Daoism, Philosophical Daoism, Early Daoism: these terms are increasingly being seen as obsolescent by scholars in the last couple of decades. The general public – those who have heard of Daoism or have read a little bit of it – are largely unaware, despite the fact that for quite awhile writers have admitted that there were no “Daoists” in pre-Han China and that the two most famous “Daoists,” Laozi and Zhuangzi, surely never thought of themselves as Daoists. The more recent interest in what was once called “religious Daoism (Daojiao 道教),” as opposed to “philosophical Daoism (Daojia 道家),” has seen a shift towards using “Daoism” to refer only to the former. the full article here

agree! i watched all the episodes around these parts there's a saying, when translated into english, goes like this . . . 'yes well no fine' so, now i'm re-watching 'Stalker' yeah! that was my first Andrei Tarkovsky movie will soon move on to another Tarkovsky movie 'The Sacrifice' (1986) watch the movie! visually interesting too i haven't read the book

actually i have seen Stalker a long time ago and forgot about it (maybe i forgot the title) began watching last night and remembered every time i see something new 'cause my mind wonders, picking up on something seen/said, during a viewing and i miss out on certain things also, points of view alter with time and space changes = experience only watched half the movie so far - continue tonight thanks for the reminder!

Hermits (2015) This documentary reveals the daily lives of Zhongnan hermits. 1h 27min English subtitles Storyline . . . 25 years ago, American author Bill Porter (a.k.a. Red Pine) went to the Zhongnan Mountains to seek out modern Chinese hermits. His resulting book, Road to Heaven, was a touchstone for many westerners wondering what remained of Buddhist and Daoist asceticism in China. Now, for the first time, Bill Porter revisits Zhongnan to seek out those who seek from within, living quiet lives of deep devotion in some of the world's most stunning locales. ~ Emei Movie Channel Directors : Shiping He, Peng Fu, Chengyu Zhou Writers : Peng Fu, He Shiping, Chengyu Zhou Review by a 2015 Alexandria Film Festival judge . . . "Are you here, Master?" This documentary follows a 71 year old American, Bill Porter, to a mountainous area of China. 25 years ago he visited and wrote a book about the solitary monks who live here in the mountains, some in caves. Now he returns to see how the hermits are doing. Some whom he met have died but he finds the area still populated by male and female monks who spend their days in meditation, chanting, and exercise. The camera follows him as he laboriously moves from site to site and talks with different hermits about how they spend their days. The movie is slow and deliberate. Nothing is sudden or sharp. We see the author climb up narrow paths to knock on different doors and ask, "Are you here, Master?" Everywhere you look you see the mountains, lush vegetation punctuated by craggy rocks, and at the monks' residences, evidence of their Spartan existence. As the movie progresses we see that, not only does the American know the language, he also has extensively studied and translated Buddhist teachings into English and can carry on conversations with the monks about their own thinking. Some have read his book and that provides him credibility as someone whom they can trust. Production wise the photography, editing, and soundtrack are beautiful. The mountains are gorgeous and the sounds of insects and birds permeate every scene. Common everyday objects and activities are presented in carefully framed and lit views. But the pacing is slow and deliberate. That will be part of the appeal to the viewer who is curious about these people and why they live as they do; others might be bored. The conversations are not terribly deep but we do occasionally see glimmers of insight into why the hermits cut themselves off from "civilization" like this.

hey Dev i'm relatively new here wonderful place here welcome me too, also from Africa, on clear mountain, where two oceans meet

now that is amazing !!! and we’re probably on different sides of the planet

would you say this video (including it's playlist) is a good starting point for someone (me) that's been flirting around with Laozi quotes and now wants to settle down and look into the daodejing? or any other guidance most welcome . thank you

I see what you mean "falls way short" I watched two episodes and well yeah, it's kinda interesting, but linear sort-of-story-telling to be fair, i will watch all of season one thanks for your post must say this . . . synchronicity at play? my friend-for-life mentioned it hours before i saw your post

got it - remastered version. will watch over the weekend. Nostalghia (1983) The Steamroller and the Violin (1961) Mirror (1975) . . . amazing 🎞️

yi, sometimes, refers to south or south-west, etc. and north and north-east, etc. in short, the cardinal points i understand that interpretation may be metaphorically based, and/or based on historical events, geographical position, political, etc i.e. many layers of interpretation however, there is mention of the seasons and calendar (months) e.g. february-spring, etc ok, that’s fine if you’re in the northern hemisphere. how do those of us in the southern hemisphere interpret that? do i in the southern hemisphere, for example, interpret february-spring as september-spring or february-autumn? yes, i know, the cop-out way would be to interpret it metaphorically and leave it at that; but i sincerely believe that the yi is multi-layered . . . . . p.s. i was recently told, upon asking someone, having asked about a specific hexagram, what it meant to go south - the answer i received was ‘uproot from your home and go south’. now, that’s kind of crazy ‘cause i live near the coast on the southern tip of the continent, and my next stop going south would be antarctica 😜 that got me thinking so i flipped the map around, presented graphic ideas and someone else went crazy on me for doing that - like i was a bone he constantly chewed at - reminded me of the fundamentalist school teacher in pink floyd’s wall movie - no space for free thinking, questioning or experimentation. i believe that yi means changes. may i be bold and include the word evolution besides, methinks, and i say this with respect for the power of yi, the zhou had no idea (haven’t seen any mention of it) that there was a southern hemisphere; and, as we speak, i will remind you, in this moment northerners have summer and southerners are experiencing winter that the mountain side referred to as the yang side - facing south in the northern hemisphere and facing north in the southern hemisphere do you see what i mean! perhaps it’s much a do about nothing but, hey, check out the solar ecliptic and you’ll see what i mean . . . . . p.p.s. by the way, i asked yi of the outcome of this post reply 46.3 > 7

When Kaso ( his 'master') presented Ikkyu with an inka, a seal of enlightenment, Ikkyu hurled it to the ground in protest and stomped away. Despite this and other difficulties between master and disciple, Kaso said, "Ikkyu is my true heir, but his ways are wild." After Kaso died, in 1428, Ikkyu indeed went his own wild way, calling himself a "crazy cloud." He spent much of his life as a vagrant monk, wandering here and there in the environs of Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, and Sakai. Ikkyu mingled with all manner of people, from the highest (he had several meetings with the retired emperor Gokomatsu) to the lowest (he often traveled in the company of beggars). Ikkyu was the darling of merchants, who loved his antic style, yet at the same time he was a defender of the poor against greedy landlords. On occasion Ikkyu played Robin Hood - taking money set aside for a rich man's funeral and spending it on the homeless, for example. https://terebess.hu/zen/mesterek/IkkyuStevens.html
