ZEN inspired Movie Circle of Iron

[zenzero]

Friends,

Today saw the movie *Circle of Iron* which is a story which goes like the 10 bulls of zen.
Great movie was conceived by the legendary Bruce Lee himself. A master in his own right.

Those of the way could discover how to sing one's own tune in total freedomn.

It was a very good film Zenzero. Too bad about Lee's death, yet David Carradine did well enough in the film to do it justice as I think it was a good choice, as Carridine had a natural skill for multiple roleplaying. Jeff Cooper's acting was just spectacular as Cord.

Too bad Cooper didn't continue his acting career.

Miss those days.

Friend Nowhere Man,

True, we all leave our bodies.
Liked that dialogue very much where the blind man Carridine says A fish once saved my life. how? I ate him.
Is it not beautiful that the being that we are are only because of someone's sacrifices for they willing die/merge within another being to keep this being alive??
wheel within wheel within wheel The wheel of samsara!

Great movie, Zen.

My favorite lines from it:

Cord: "Do you think I could master the Monkey style?"

Blind Master: "I don't see why not, you already imitate their chattering perfectly".

One of my favorites!

It was hard to find on Youtube until I realized it was also called The Silent Flute: [youtube]2ds-L-YoUMM[/youtube]
"The Silent Flute" - David Carradine (ITA) - YouTube

I still have my recorded VHS version from the '80s.

Friend Gc,

Yes, did come across that somewhere, now you have confirmed.

Wish some producer/director made mini series/movies on zen masters.
We have a few in India about masters here.

Love & rgds
