Part two of a two part documentary on an American Zen retreat at Bodhi Manda Monastery in New Mexico. A seven day intensive retreat is called a "Sesshin" which means to bring the heart/mind together. A sesshin is a treasure and for this we in America have to thank our spiritual ancestors who developed the form. "Zazen" is the term for seated meditation and zazen of this intensity changes you. I doubt that many people could do it alone. The work requires that everyone in the group support each other and sit still. Much good flows out into the world as long as you keep a sense of humor and humility.

A weekend Zen retreat at the Flat Top Zendo in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Charlottesville, Virginia in October 2006. Flat Top is a part of the Blue Ridge Zen Group in Charlottesville. Flat Top is located in Green County, close to the town of Crozet. The Zendo was built by Bill Stephens, a disciple of the Japanese Zen master Denkyo Kyozan Joshu Roshi. Bill Stephens led this two day retreat. The chant is "The Final Instructions of National Teacher Daito Kozen" which is commonly chanted in Rinzai monasteries. The chant ends with "After this old monk's pilgrimage, some of you may have rich temples, with large halls and volumes of sutras decorated with gold an silver, full of noisy enthusiasts. Or you may read sutras and recite dhranis, do zazen for long periods without lying down, eat only breakfast and work day and night. Although you do these things, if you don't set your mind on the marvelous untransmitted way of Buddha and the Patriarchs, you immediately deny cause and effect, and the true teaching falls to the ground... But if there is one person who seriously studies his own affairs, even if he lives out in the fields in a straw hut, cooking his meal of vegetable roots over a grass fire in a broken pot, he is the one who sees me daily and is grateful for what he has received. Who would dare to be careless? Work hard! Work hard!" The video is by Tom Davenport, a long time friend, who often cooks during these fall and spring retreats.

Angus bulls on Hollin Farm near Delaplane, Virginia, posture and fight for dominance in their group of males. The mature bulls weight over a ton. This video shows why bulls are hard to raise. They are so big and strong that when they fight, they destroy fences and buildings. We have had several bulls that broke their legs in these battles and had to be put down. Usually a group of bulls will sort things out after a few days and don't fight much after that. But introduce a new bull, and there is trouble.

Hollin farmers Tom and Matthew Davenport show how they use a 1970 International Model 82 combine to harvest an eight acre field of oats at Sky Meadows State Park. This small combine was manufactured for farmers when farms raised diversified crops which included grain. The combine is powered by the power takeoff from the tractor. Matt's grandfather had a combine just like this, but it was sold in the 1990s. Matt found this one (which was in better shape than our old one) at a farm equipment auction in 2007 and bought it for $400. Tom demonstrates mowing with a scythe, and shows how a similar tool, the "cradle" was used to cut grain fields. Photos of the cradle are by Stephen Hough from from Springfield-Greene County Library in Springfield, Missouri. The photos are of Elva Hough, who is probably the photographer's grandfather.

My friend Jerry Payne's made this film in the mid 1960s as part of his graduate work at Clemson University. Payne writes..."My study was the first "detailed" study of succession in animal decomposition and the first with the pig as the model. The significance of the pig is that it closely approximates the human body (skin, body hair, size etc.) so the data generated could be used in modern forensic science to approximate the time of human deaths. At that time it was simply not possibly (moral/ethical/legal concerns) to perform decompositon studies with human corpses, I know because I tried and was denied. Even so there were many instances where some concerned person buried my research pigs"... Payne placed pink beads next to the pig to measure the activity of the maggots. The music is from symphony #2 by Gorecki.

Payne writes..."My study was the first "detailed" study of succession in animal decomposition and the first with the pig as the model. The significance of the pig is that it closely approximates the human body (skin, body hair, size etc.) so the data generated could be used in modern forensic science to approximate the time of human deaths. At that time it was simply not possibly (moral/ethical/legal concerns) to perform decompositon studies with human corpses, I know because I tried and was denied.

I made "Flowers" in the late 1960s on 16mm film. It features my father Robert Davenport and mother Elizabeth Davenport on their farm "Hollin" near Delaplane, VA. The farm is named after "Hollin Hills" -- a well respected development near Alexandria, Virginia that Robert created with architect Charles Goodman.

On Hollin farms near Delaplane, VA, we check pregnant cows every day and tag the new calves with the number of their mothers. Checking the cows several times a day during the fall or spring calving season, is important because some cows have difficulties calving and need assistance. This video documents three different tagging episodes. The tagger is Raul Quintana, a young man with the speed, strength, and coordination for the job. I am 67 and only tag when I have an assistant. Tagging the calf with its mother's number is very helpful when sorting out herds of cows and calves. The tagging also allows us to link the calf to its genetic heritage and help us evaluate the calf's mother and father as productive animals. Calves that have bad conformation or disposition or don't grow indicate mothers that should be culled and bulls that should not be used to breed. Angus bulls are seldom aggressive. However, Angus cows are often aggressive when they have young calves.

Robert Whitacre is a professional artificial inseminator (AI) of cattle. He does this work with my son Matthew Davenport, who runs the Hollin Farm operation. We are breeding cows that have calved in October and November, and using semen from the Wye Plantation in Maryland. Owned and run by the University of Maryland as a research center, this farm has the oldest herds of Angus cattle in the USA. We are hoping for off-spring that will do better on grass than the kind of cattle favored by modern industrial feed lots

Farmer Matt Davenport unrolls large round bales on the hill side of Hollin Farms near Delaplane, VA. The bales weigh around 1000 pounds. Spreading the hay out by rolling it is a better way of feeding round bales than leaving them unrolled in a field. The cattle trod the hay into the mud and waste alot. Rolling them down the hill is less wasteful and distributes the manure over the fields. My son Matthew is strong enough to push these bales by hand.
