MERCHANDISE

"Tens of millions of people have seen these films. nobody knows who made them. Curled up on our couches in the wee hours of the morning, in reruns, and nostalgic You Tube forwards, filmmaker Al Jarnow has touched our lives and changed the way we look at the world without us ever knowing. Beginning with his work for a certain public television show that featured a big yellow bird, Al Jarnow captured life's scientific minutia and boiled it down for easy consumption between cookie eating monsters and counting vampires. Coupling time-lapse, stop motion, and cell animation with simple objects found in every day life, Jarnow deconstructed the world for an entire generation. From the third floor of his Long Island gingerbread home, his mind wandered beyond the confines of educational programming. Delving into New York's avant-garde film scene alongside Harry Smith, Jonas Mekas and Stan Brakhage, Jarnow created a body of awe-inspiring films that remain in the collections of MOMA and Pompideau Center. Employing the archival skills honed during the excavation of over 40 full-length albums, Celestial Navigations marks The Numero Group's first foray into the world of cinema. The 45 films collected have been transferred and color corrected from the original 16mm prints, along with fully remastered sound. Special features include a 30-minute documentary on Jarnow's creative process, as well as film playlists designed for both children and adults alike. The deluxe package includes a 60-page book loaded to the gills with essays, ephemera, storyboards, photos, and a complete film index, all housed in the iconic Numero slipcase." Region 0; color and B&W; full screen; total running time: 110 minutes. Includes a 60-page full color book.

Masterpiece. Reprinted from the long-awaited culmination of Nakano's theology, "The Collected Works of Ryōshun Nakano (1916-1988)" which clearly explains the modern significance of Shinran's Pure Land Buddhism from the fundamental thought of Mahayana Buddhism. (3xBook+BOX, Only Japanese)

"Yoga Vasishta weaves together many stories and commentaries to explain the ultimate teachings. It will be a marvelous discovery not only for philosophers, but even for modern psychologists and scientists. While most of the existing scriptures were preached by God to His devotees, the Yoga Vasishta is a teaching addressed to God. It is a teaching given by the sage Vasishta to Rama, God.
The philosophy of Yoga Vasishta, which provides a true understanding of the creation of the world, is very close to the doctrine of Kashmir Shiva, and the core of its teachings is "All is Consciousness. It includes the material world as you see it, as it is. This is the absolute truth. The world is nothing but the play of consciousness." (From Swami Muktananda's Preface)

This book is a digest version of the book "Lectures - Kyōgyōshinshō," which systematized "Kyōgyōshinshō" as a book of religious thought, and is an overview for reading Shinran's great work.

Dogū (meaning "clay figures") are small humanoid and animal figurines made during the late Jōmon period (14,000–400 BC) of prehistoric Japan.A Dogū come exclusively from the Jōmon period. By the Yayoi period, which followed the Jōmon period, Dogū were no longer made. There are various styles of Dogū, depending on exhumation area and time period. According to the National Museum of Japanese History, the total number found throughout Japan is approximately 15,000. Dogū were made across all of Japan, except Okinawa. Most of the Dogū have been found in eastern Japan and it is rare to find one in western Japan. The purpose of the Dogū remains unknown and should not be confused with the clay haniwa funerary objects of the Kofun period (250 – 538). wikipedia

This is the first public recording of a famous lecture by Rijin Yasuda, a great scholar of Buddhist studies, which is relevant not only to the Shoshinge but also to the entirety of the Kyogyoshinsho.

A Japanese translation of D.T.Suzuki's English article discussing Shinran's pure land doctrine of other powers. Zen as a doctrine of self-reliance, seeking enlightenment by one's own power. Pure Land Buddhism as the doctrine of other forces to seek the attainment of Buddhahood by relying on the Buddha's compassion. The two teachings were different ways to attainment of Buddhahood. The pure land doctrine of transversal power, which was developed by Shinran, teaches that ordinary people have realized the present satori as the original Buddhist path by giving up their own discrimination, directing themselves to the Buddha's compassion, and opening the way to live surrounded by the Dharma itself. The translator, a disciple of the last years of D.T.Suzuki's life, translates the text based on D.T.Suzuki's understanding of Shin Buddhism. Half of the articles in the book are translated into Japanese for the first time!

Focusing on Saichi, the film reveals the true nature of Myōkōnin as practitioners of other powers.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Myokonin (妙好人, myōkōnin) are famous, pious followers of the Jōdo Shinshū sect of Japanese Buddhism.

Myōkōnin means "a wondrous, excellent person". It is used for a devout follower of Jōdo Shinshū, who lives a life of total dedication to Amida and whose acts and sayings, though they often run counter to common sense, reveal the depth of faith and true humanity".

Myōkōnin were largely unheard of in the West until D. T. Suzuki introduced them in his lectures and writings on Jōdo Shinshū. Most myōkōnin left behind very little writing, but in the case of Saichi, he left behind a prolific amount of poetry expressing his devotion to Amida Buddha.

Myōkōnin have been documented through Japanese history, from the Tokugawa period to the modern period.

This is a discourse on The True Faith of Kyōgyōshinshō, written by Shinran, the founder of the Pure land shin sect. This book is a masterpiece in which Shinran's thought is carefully read and clarified through difficult quotations from Buddhist scriptures with oral translations of the original text. This is the first time in 50 years that it has been reprinted in a new edition.

唯識思想では、菩薩が仏になる道筋を、虚妄分別の止滅から意言分別の智慧の獲得として明らかにし、さらに、仏の正覚の智慧を、無分別智と無分別後得智に分けて明らかにすることで、自利利他を完成した仏の智慧の根本を明らかにしている。
唯識思想が説く仏の智慧を基本として、浄土教で説かれる法蔵菩薩と阿弥陀仏の根源的意味を明らかにすることで、往相回向・還相回向が説かれる意義を明確にする。

the gold disc of the Matrimandir in the center of Auroville. 4.5 x 4.5 cm

Three golden pyramids stacked on top of each other, an auspicious ornament known as Vastu in India.

In Hindu and Buddhist cultures, the swastika is auspicious & a symbol of divinity and spirituality. On the holiday of Diwali, Hindu households commonly use the swastika in decorations. Swastikas are often depicted at completion ceremonies for buildings and machinery, and at safety prayers for new cars, to avoid disasters.

In Buddhism, the swastika is considered to symbolise the auspicious footprints of the Buddha. The left-facing swastika is often imprinted on the chest, feet or palms of Buddha images. It is an aniconic symbol for the Buddha in many parts of Asia and homologous with the dharma wheel. The shape symbolises eternal cycling, a theme found in the samsara doctrine of Buddhism. In Japan, it is commonly used as a symbol, emblem, or sign to indicate Buddhism and temples.
