New activity on some non-buddhist blogs:

Tutteji Wachtmeister
“Over the past couple of years there has been a tremendous outpouring of compassion, concern and curiosity from the Transintegral™ community regarding its founder and main teacher, Tutteji Wachtmeister. As we all know, Tutteji entered a solitary, personal retreat in early 2014, and for the past couple of years the beloved guide, considered by many as “the smartest guru alive” and “the thinking man’s Ken Wilber”, has not given any public teachings.
Until now.
We are incredibly excited to announce that Tutteji Dai Osho is back and has resumed leadership of the Transintegral Zen™ Sangha and the entire Transintegral community. At his side is an extremely talented, vibrant community of newly transmitted Dharma teachers and we can expect a virtual avalanche of updated, fun and profitable teachings right from the frothy frontlines of cutting-edge spiritual evolution.”

Speculative Non-Buddhism – an experiment in creative criticism
“Is there hope after all? If you are as excited as I am about Tutteji’s re-emergence from his dark night of transintegral metemschizoidseelewanderung in the cosmic markets (or wherever the hell he’s been), then please remember to donate to the Tutteji Gratitude Fund. I hope you’ll all join me in a hearty long live the Wachmeister, master of brainwaves and market fluctuations! God and Ken Wilber know we need him!” (by Glenn Wallis)

Lines of Flight
“Things have slowed down a bit here. Only three or four visits a day, almost no comments. So what better time to attempt a somewhat more self-indulgent post?
I’m posting the first section of a draft of a novel I’m working on. Or, have just about finished and am trying to revise. Or […]

Today was Mui’s turn to give a talk about Shobogenzo HACHIDAININKAKU.

Mui asks the question “Is Buddhism only for introverts?”, when talking about the part:

The third is ‘enjoying the tranquility of nirvana’. What He called ‘enjoying the tranquility of nirvana’ means leaving behind all the noise and hubbub for the solitude of the open country.
As the Buddha said:
“O you monks, if you seek to be tranquil and quiet, liberated from the insistence of the defiling passions, at ease and content, then you should part company with confusion and bustle, and dwell at your ease in some solitary place. The person who dwells in quietude continually forsakes what those in the heavens esteem so highly amongst themselves. Therefore, withdraw from those about you, as well as from other crowds and, in a place of solitude apart from them, reflect on the source of the eradication of suffering at your leisure. If you are one who enjoys the company of others, then you will take on the woes of their company, just as with a flock of birds that gather in some huge tree, there is the lament of dead branches breaking off under their weight. When the world binds itself around us, we drown in the suffering of such company just as an old elephant, sunk down in mire, is unable to drag himself out. This is what I call ‘distancing yourself from those about you’.”

Here are the first minutes (in Japanese only):

The movie “Zen for nothing”, that was filmed two years ago at Antaiji, will have its world premiere at the Solothurn film festival in Switzerland. It will be shown in cinemas around Europe (and maybe America?) later during 2016.
