Film: A Japanese Zen master (Master Jinen) relates the life and teachings of Dogen Zenji, the founder of Soto Zen in Japan some 800 years ago.
This is a passionate account of the teachings taken from the Fukan Zazengi (a section of the Shobogenzo text).
Though Master Jinen speaks in English, sub-titles are very helpful.
This is a wonderful expression of the essence of Zen.
The film runs for approximately one hour.
Read some more Zen teachings from Dogen.

I now know why I dont like shutting my eyes. It all appears simple (but not) and the clapping brought me back when mind wandered.
I think I gained some understanding!
