Re: I’m Too Sexy for my Kesa
Sorry, what? I'm still laughing at the phrase "hunky monks."
I don't know, I can't figure out what's really going on here. And I can't figure out Amazon.co.jp enough to get a sneak peek inside the book. Not that I . . . uh . . . want to . . . :oops: :D

Start with the rapping. After that, we'll take it from there :D
We're a couple o monks
Hangin wid Treeleaf
We're all tofu
We're not down with beef
We sit zazen
Morn, noon, night;
With bad karma
We're putting things right.
Cause we're a couple o monks
We don't cause no fuss
We just sit our shit
We're down wid emptiness
That's Buddha nature
To you and me
We dont charge for de dharma
We give the jewel away free;
Yeah we're a couple o monks
From the US and France
This sunyata thing
It's a kind o dance
We're devoted to the kesa
It's the robe we wear, yeah?
Symbol of reality
The full Dharmakaya
We're a couple o monks
Life is our temple
We accept life's imperfections
Each wart and pimple
We sit with what is
The way things are
From your own true nature
The distance ain't far ...
ENOUGH!
You got the idea ;)

Re: I’m Too Sexy for my Kesa
Ah....I think not, :| unless you first poke out my eyes!!! It is more than enought that I occasionally see this old monk in the bathroom mirror (who is that man???), I do not need to see other "out-sized" , but also beautiful (I am sure) :shock: monks.

Re: I’m Too Sexy for my Kesa
Damn I didn't even see Myozan's awesome lyrics at first... definitely MC Myozan. lol
Re: I’m Too Sexy for my Kesa
What is the most shoking is the place and cloths worn, a beautiful monk don't need this way to attract if he wants to, the simplicity of the robe, a beautiful face are enough.
to be attracted by a monk is natural I think, he is like another human, but he does not need to attrack by the physical aspect, and does not need to attract girls for religious reasons.
It is like a teacher seducing a student, even if he's cute, both have to understand that it's simply impossible.
For example I knew a monk going out with a girl (his student) (not on Treeleaf), when the lovestory is broken, the disgut of the Dharma can appear also.
Sorry for my primitive english ^^
I hope that I don't say anything non ethical

Wow... Wasn't too long ago that you posted about a Japanese Zen fashion contest and monks working as bartenders--what's going on?

Well, this ain't all a bad thing or wholly what meets the eye.
For example, the great Bodhisattva Vimalakirti would head into barrooms to teach ... for where better to perhaps reach folks who could benefit from the Teachings? As some Sutras point out, it is sometimes necessary to bend or break a Precept (such as the one on selling intoxicants) in order to keep it, and to save sentient beings. The bartending monks make much the same assertion ...
http://www.cnngo.com/tokyo/drink/buddhist-bars-700027
The monk's fashion show was actually a kind of commentary on ordinary materialism and "fashion" ... pointing folks to both the beauty of Buddhist artforms little understood by much of the general public, and a "higher calling" in fashion. Certainly, around Treeleaf, we have some deep appreciation of the beauty of the Kesa, even if the Nyoho-e style practiced here is not as colorful and fancy as the ornate Kesa worn in that show ...
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22273859/ns ... 7mVyUVYzmM
All was an attempt to attract some folks to Buddhism who wouldn't be caught dead in a temple (or rather, only in a temple when dead). :wink:
I don't think that I am being just the "devil's advocate" here ... and more "Buddha's advocate". 8)
