I was watching this (I used to love this band, still really like some of their pieces):
And a friend of mine posted this article from Tricycle:
How Butoh, the Japanese Dance of Darkness, Helps Us Experience Compassion in a Suffering World
I found it interesting and thought others might too.
Butoh

"My religion is not deceiving myself."
Jetsun Milarepa 1052-1135 CE
"Butchers, prostitutes, those guilty of the five most heinous crimes, outcasts, the underprivileged: all are utterly the substance of existence and nothing other than total bliss."

Re: Butoh
You might want to check out the German film Cherry Blossoms by the same director who made Enlightenment Guaranteed. A striking film (but not everyones cup of tea) with Butoh as a major theme.

Re: Butoh
As odd or unbelievable as this may sound, I've actually seen them live one time. It was years ago and a friend saw in it in he newspaper and we went. Thy had all sorts of metal pipes set up on the stage. It was very cool actually. I have never heard of them before and haven't heard of them since until you posted this. But it is unique and cool.

Re: Butoh
I sent it to a friend and he said "I have no clue what that was, but it was pretty good"
