What I do not want, is ever seeing clearly
enters in to the sacredness of being
bridging the divisions that are here
between us, what we will be
and will only become
giving back as
everything
united
under
one's
sun
OM

To the best of my knowledge, the monks are celibate and therefore the previous statment is irelevant. The question is: Does anyone know of a monastery in Japan, Southern Japan to be more specific, where some of the monks may or may not shave their heads; where this zen-Buddhist monastic tradition is not enforced vigourously. |

More sanitary conditions require the hair to be gone, but mine just fell out on it's own. I am very clean. |

The best of your knowledge would appear to lack something - the shaving of heads in the zen Buddhist monastic tradition signifies celibacy. |

As for your question and I'm sure you know of other ways and means of acquiring the answer you want, it's just that my interest doesn't extend any further than ridiculing it. |

I am not certain that all zen-Buddhist monks shave their heads to show celibacy. As I said, I do believe that there is one that does not enforce this tradition. I am the fellow whom claims re-incarnational memories of a life-time in Southern Japan as a zen monk. I do maintain that there is a monastery in Japan that does not enforce this zen-Buddhist tradition. If anyone can help me here, I would appreciate it.
Regards, Mika-san |

Ikkyu Sojun was a Zen priest in the 1400's and was head priest in Kyoto for 9 days before leaving in favor of direct truth over religious and social facades. He formed the Red Thread school of Zen. Ikkyu was a poet, musician, and calligrapher. |

The Red Thread involved a sensual component of accepting the body as the "Lotus of the true Law" linking it to tantric Buddhism. |

Rinzai - grew beard and long hair as monk.
Disliked masculine Zen style.
Feminist - taught women students.
Rejected Zen temple life - hated monks' homosexual acts and hypocrisy.
Mysogynist culture which perceived him as mad.
Red Thread Zen - Kido.
Lotus of the true law - linked to birth and death by the red thread of passion.
Boody umbilicus.
From the world of passions,
returning to the world of passions.
There is a moment’s pause --
if it rains, let it rain,
If the wind blows let it blow.
Ikkyu - One Pause
Crow caw.
Tantra transformation.
Life energy.
"Change base lust into refined love and it is worth more than a mountain of gold."
"Satori is to know that there is no such thing as satori. - satori and delusion is one…"

A Woman's Sex
It has the original mouth but remains wordless;
It is surrounded by a magnificent mound of hair.
Sentient beings can get completely lost in it
But it is also the birthplace of all the Buddhas of the ten thousand worlds.

Apparently Songyuan asked: "Why can't clear-eyed Bodhisattvas sever the red thread?" |
