(According to the internet, Buddha really did say this!) "What's all this? There's a path, so just go and find it! What's with you guys? You want me to solve all your problems?" From The Hero Yoshihiko and the Key of the Evil Spirits (Yuusha Yoshihiko to Akuryou no Kagi, 勇者ヨシヒコと悪霊の鍵). The scolding Buddha is played by comedian Sato Jiro.

Moon Fish Ocean is our whimsical Zen version of "Rock Paper Scissors." You can play the game online at the official website.
Here's a fun tip for taking the game on the road:
Use Moon Fish Ocean to navigate the maze of pathways in a formal garden (especially a garden with a koi pond!). You and your companion should throw a hand gesture at each crossroad or forked path. If the person on the left wins, go left. If the person on the right wins, go right. If it's a tie, continue walking straight ahead (or throw another round in the case of only two choices of direction). The game is guaranteed to lead you to all sorts of beautiful areas of the gardens you didn't know about, simply because you would never have gone down certain (less eye-enticing) paths. So Moon Fish Ocean can serve as a form of navigation in which Lady Luck dictates the itinerary.
A visitor asks:
It is not clear to me what makes this conducive to meditation. Is it being so focused on the activity that all else is put aside?
Like "walking meditation," Moon Fish Ocean can be a form of meditation in action, in which the experience of game play is the focus of heightened awareness.
Praise for Moon, Fish, Ocean:

"You have to be able to laugh at anything and everything. The statues of the Buddha all smile, and not without reason, whilst the Christian saints are all bathed in tears. If people would smile more often, there would probably be fewer wars." —Gustav Meyrink, The Green Face

Do you know the secret teaching of the Buddha's enigmatic smile? Hint: Hold the image up to a mirror. (The answer is in black text on the black background. Highlight it to view.) |
