Clown and Zen, The Three tenets. Take 1.

Jump to Comments

It has been a few weeks now that I am posting these discussions about Clown and Zen, about Clown with other performers.

Today’s topic of discussion are ‘the three tenets’ which are deeply engrained in the zen world. Roshi Bernie introduced them to me. I discovered an intriguing parallel between these tenets and how a clown often works on the stage.

Looking to describe this, I shifted into internet search mode with intent to discover some absolute descriptions from the master rather than paraphrase away.
Lo and Behold, the Google Search brings up an amazing variety of three tenets. Page 1 doesn’t even mention zen. So the conversation about clown and zen can wait a day. Instead I believe a detour is in order, and so I present the search results as a slice of contemporary culture that brought sly smiles to my eyes.
