#Hotei

Uno de los absurdos de confundir al "Buda gordo" con Buda Gautama es que, según la leyenda, uno de los momentos clave en la vida de este último fue cuando practicó técnicas ascetas hasta quedar escuálido. No tendría mucho sentido mostrarlo obeso y sin meditar. #Budai #Hotei #Buda #Buddha

Christmas Koan

When is the Buddha not the Buddha?

Although Santa has readily been embraced in Japan, there was another cheerful, big-bellied figure bringing cheer to children long before old Father Christmas arrived on these shores.

Hotei (布袋) was a Chinese monk that lived in the coastal district of Wuyue. After his death, around 917, he became a Buddhist saint and was eventually made one of the 'Seven Gods of Fortune' (七福神) in Japan.
He shares many similarities with old Father Christmas.

I first heard Tomoyasu Hotei's Save Me at the end of #SamuraiFiction, a 1998-ish samurai movie. The moon slowly rising above the trees to the song is still my favourite version of it. SF has an amazing soundtrack by Hotei, who also appears in the movie.

This isn't the movie credits version, despite the moon. There's a slower build up to when the guitar (& the song) explodes, 2 minutes in here.
