30.09.2000 – Interpretation of dali48
The aim of the master is to bring the egocentric slacker so far - that he ceases to pose with masks... (J.v.d. Wetering)
"Do you think the tent could pollute the Buddhist dogma (see dogmas and fascism etc. - d.48)", asked Roshi? My body, consisting of air, water, fire and earth is "dust." - For years it had, in its incredible complexity, done its work, but then some microbes are causing an irreparable imbalance, or a bullet or a knife has destroyed a vital organ, or there are grown cancer cells, or do I have it hung in a fit of termination weariness. What ever has also happened, the body no longer works. - The act of physical death is completed. What now? - There are many small ends, there are no large ends...
If the Dalai Lama smiles, - the seals are barking on my coast. This is a "koan"... A polar bear farts, sparrows fall from the roof in Kyoto (this implies to me that all living beings are connected etc. - d.48)...
We have invented another, we have seen each other wrong, we just made each other ideas that are not real. So what is real? Probably, Hume guessed, - nothing! Perhaps only a void, "the void", which
contains our ideas is real... (D. Hume, 1711 – 1776)
When he died of cancer at the age of 65 years, he wrote to his friends cheerfully "I anticipate a speedy resolution now. - If a man dies of my age, he only missed a few years of sickly infirmity... (D. Hume)
"What do you want to be"? - "I want to be nothing Great-grandfather" - "Are you lucky, my dear, you are it already"... (Hakuin)
As long as I continued to believe in values, I was doomed, God, gods, creators, parents, authorities, even "Roshi and Sensei" gave me the blame - for what I thought was not "right"... (Jvd Wetering)
Happiness is for the lucky ones. There is no merit in it. - "Are you one of God’s errors or is God one of yours?"... Life is of no intrinsic value, and it also doesn’t lack it, it is only man who insists to assess life... (F. Nietzsche, 1876)
Even if a Holocaust is so terrible that we are tempted to shout "God is dead" (see "the king is dead", etc. - d.48), we will create "him" again in another form - because we can not bear to live without an
ego-structure... The sky welcomes all slaves, – losers for just now... We are wasting no time trying to be moral or immoral. Let us just be! - Amorality produces considerate, friendly natures... It is the rule, to invite each other to dinner - rather than open fire to the tiny silhouette... "Have you eaten yet, stranger?"... “Only the daily life”, said Baba. “Plus a little mindfulness,” ... I told him that his sexual desire, frustrated at first, later perverted, helped to ruin the Buddhist center where I had studied... (Jvd Wetering)
The greatest events - these are not our noisiest, but our quietest hours... (F. Nietzsche)
