22.04.2014 - True Zen and simple way of life etc. by dali48
dali48 and writing ediary4+5 and photographing a dandelion blossom in Wickrath since 6/2010 etc.
Interpretation of dali48
The East, although poor (I think this is the very reason for it, etc. - d.48), has not experienced those excesses of fanaticism and violence (see e.g. the Khmer Rouge, Mao Tse Tung, Japan during the Second World War, etc.? - d.48), which has experienced the West...
Worldwide, the religious institutions are guided of material and political interests (see misguided, e.g. Vatican bank - see Martin Luther, etc. - d.48)...
Far better is it to keep ones mouth shut, - and wait until it has changed etc.
Do you cut its roots, - then the tree will crash. Everything is impermanent. - Suffering is there...
Even without going, - you’ll get at home...
The deepest truths - open up by itself...
Even if you are enlightened, even if the thoughts do not harass you anymore, there still remains a small dot to solve. – Is it right to consider gold and silver as dust?
The shadow of the bamboo sweeps the floor of the porch - but the dust does not move from the spot. The moon is mirrored in the water - but it leaves no trace on the surface of the pond...
All things go into the “wholeness”. But where goes the “wholeness” to? (It is in all things - see e.g. ocean and water drops, etc. - d.48)...
If I leave the apartment, it is empty and lifeless. - If I leave the body it is also empty and lifeless… (dali48)
Those who pass the test of emptiness will be declared to be the winners. - Let no blank pages left, so that your name is on the winning list...
Those who feel compassion keep it for humanism. Wise men keep it for education...
This respect for the intrinsic value of every single thing - be it animated or inanimate, leads to the desire that things be appropriately used, rather than that they thoughtlessly wasted and destroyed...
To practice true Zen means then:
Never leave burning lamps, if one does not need it - never let run water needlessly down the sink - never waste inappropriately food - which is remnant...
If you remain closed to an insight into the true nature of the world and you cannot intuitively understand it - what else as dedicating yourself to a life of material wealth and sensual gratifications, is left to you then?
In the middle of all the changes there is something immutable, - between all the imperfections there is something perfect, there is peace in the chaos, there is silence in the noise, and finally there is life - in the middle of death...
The true wealth of people is not evident in what they have - but in what they can let go with dignity... (TNH)
Golden Snow
“As I read and see countries that are considered poor , I look with jealously , sound a little crazy , but I love the simple way of life , hard but clean and without thought of what tomorrow might bring , moving through life with just what is needed ... we collect to much unneeded baggage ...Martin Luther King , what a man I can still see him stand up for the rights of the people ... quote : Far better is it to keep ones mouth shut - and wait until it has changed etc. - dali48, will change come if we are still here? I know that they will quiet us, but if we do not speak, who will? Quote: This respect for the intrinsic value of every single thing - be it animated or inanimate, leads to the desire that things be appropriately used, rather than that they thoughtlessly wasted and destroyed... this answers that question , I tend to get exited, and I need to learn more helpful ways to serve” ...
Golden Snow
“dali48 , what words of wisdom today
Interpretation of dali48 , is full of answers to be taken to heart ...
To practice true Zen means then : is so fully explained , indeed the answers to a lot of my questions ... the following stands out for me quote : "Do you cut its roots - then the tree will crash. Everything is impermanent - Suffering is there... "This is so enlightening I cannot chose ... All will be taken to heart , thanks for your guide to understanding, dali48”…
Golden Snow
“Zen has changed my life forever dali48 ... I find myself accepting everything as it comes ... have overcome the feeling of desertion and being lost ... each day is an adventure to be enjoyed ... not that bad things can never happen, far from that ... but the strength to accept and let go is coming into full force ... But I will not lie, there are some things I am yet clinking to... as your quote said "ocean and water drops” ... I have yet to separate ...
23.04.2014 - Buddha and Mindfulness etc. by dali48
dali48 and photographing & identifying cowslips in the park of Wickrath since 6/2010 etc.
Interpretation of dali48
A Buddha can indeed perform miracles, as long as he walks around as a human being on earth, but he is only a “guide” (see medium, seer, etc. - d.48), a stimulator for the holy life - not a savior, and after his death, he exerts no direct effects on his “followers” anymore… (H. von Glasenapp)
“Om mani padme hum”: 6-syllable Tibetan magic formula, perhaps a prayer to “Manipadmâ” (Tibetan goddess)…
Of all religions Buddhism is the one that most emphasizes the impermanence and futility of life: Everything is impermanent (see physical life, the stars, “black holes” of the cosmos, etc. - d.48)...
Everything is without independent being, - and therefore painful...
The faithful disciples shall strive to overcome depressing mood affects and all passions (see e.g. jealousy, envy, hate, etc. - d.48) to win an unshakable mental clarity and sublime peace of mind without painful self-torture...
Buddhism in contrast to the other world religions - has never required that we belong exclusively to it, and renounce connections with other religions (see e.g. Christianity, etc. - d.48)...
It regarded all other beliefs - as valuable precursors (In the so-called peace - the inner “false friends” are nearly more dangerous than the external “true enemies”, etc. - dali48)...
To live Zen, means above all to live mindfully - to perceive reality, as it is (loud, dirty, dangerous, etc. - especially the roads, traffic, etc. - d.48), and not, as we imagine it, in our thoughts and feelings, - and to live like it corresponds to this reality...
Those who may waive on their “ego” - can be inside of the things, and therefore can really be themselves. Mindfulness brings awareness, clarity, alertness, calmness and harmony - thus opening up the source of the joy of life… (TNH)
Someone who is enlightened - has a clear view of reality, of his own being, and of the state of our society...
Famine - and political subjugation - is the deepest causes of all wars…
A world war can erupt at any moment - A false alarm may result in total panic...
Gandhi was dressed simply, went by foot, and was nourished extremely simple (see e.g. Hindus etc. - d.48)...
The “vanguard” of our generation is those who resist with determination to the treadmill of production and consumption (too much of everything etc. - d.48), and who prefer a renewal of the nature of man...
These communities of mindful living are designed as Zen monasteries, but are free from doctrinal fixations - In it, people can be cured of the time-disease, and gain new spiritual health... (Thich Nhat Hanh)
Golden Snow
“dali48, another thoughtful and informative Interpretation of dali48 , I see the "Buddhism " way of thought , loving , teaching that love is the beginning ... quote :The faithful disciples shall strive to overcome depressing mood affects and all passions unquote .. in order for one to live a life of passion we have to rid ourselves of hatred and live a life devoted to sharing ourselves to all ... as we strive toward wholeness we can... Quote: can be inside of the things, and therefore can really be themselves. Mindfulness brings awareness, clarity, alertness, calmness and harmony - thus opening up the source of the joy of life… unquote… as we strive each in our way many turning points , we learn from all around ... I know I have a ways to go to earn a smoother path. We cannot help others until we have helped ourselves ...
To arrive to this point is bless quote : Someone who is enlightened - has a clear view of reality, of his own being, and of the state of our society... to gain more new spiritual health... I long for these days… understand that we are all at different learning stages ... thank you dali48 ... lesson well taken true and real”
23.04.2014 - Attention and Meditation and Balance etc. by dali48
dali48 and photographing during winter with snow in the park of Wickrath since 6/2010 etc.
Interpretation of dali48
Dirty or clean, absorb or excrete - these concepts exist only in our mind. The reality is unshakable both… (Thich Nhat Hanh)
Are we at full attention here when we eat, drink, meditate, etc.? Or are we wasting our time - because we are distracted and oblivious?
If one adds to be aware of exactly what one does, says and thinks - one makes also the beginning to build up a dam against being overwhelmed by ones environment and all false perceptions...
If enlightenment has been bestowed, the result is a new view of reality - that leads to deep peace, great silence and spiritual strength, and their mark is the lack of any fear. Looking into ones own nature - is the goal of Zen...
Buddhism is a doctrine of awakening (and of knowledge without dogmas, etc. - d.48), of insight and understanding. Words are not fit - to express the truth of ultimate reality... (Thich Nhat Hanh)
Interpretation of dali48
Money and interest is a principle of constant violence - of the “rich” against the “have-nots”… (E. Drewermann, Connection 7+8/1998)
Why does he turn surpluses into money plus interest, if the interest rate does not help him “as a commodity”, to have more money that he has too much? Why does he claim to house and home, to life and person of the debtor, if he suffers himself not in the least trouble?
Profiteering: It sits namely, and robs not only as an enemy but as a friend and fellow citizens, in the protection and peace of the community, and yet he murders more thoroughly than any enemy, and incendiaries… (M. Luther, 1519)
Since 1983, the interest from the new church canon code is deleted entirely, and “especially” the Vatican (see JP1 etc. - d.48), since then strongly mixes with the speculation poker… (R. Boerger)
Since you cannot force people to work and consume - Unterguggenberger grabbed the case to the money (see e.g. Banking Crisis 2008 etc. - "instead of Basic Income etc. - d.48)...
If he could bring the flow of money to flow again, the parallel flow of labor and exchange had to be well back on track...
It's about balance, "said Buddha - do not lean you forward or back. Neither the future - nor the past… (P. Viczena)
We must understand that our body and the cosmos are not separate but form a unit. Energy, spirit, matter – are different expressions of a unit… (Taisen Deshimaru / E. Sturm)
Behind me is death, and life is in front of me - at this moment, both are united, timeless, spaceless, relative, forever, etc... (dali48)
Golden Snow
... “QUOTE: Are we at full attention here when we eat, drink, meditate, etc.? Or are we wasting our time - because we are distracted and oblivious? this brought to mind the great change in my life in the last six months, dali48 , my habits of food have been high on my list of to do's ..as a result I am enjoying better health... both body and mind ... the way our world is moving toward complete collapse especially in our food production and government , we have to center on being our best selves ... food and meditation are our only way to contend with the fall around us ... I have learned so much in what we need to do if we are to survive in a world of categorize groups... rich ~ poor ~ in order to stand strong we have to be strong in body and in mind... quote: Are we at full attention here when we eat, drink, meditate, etc.? Or are we wasting our time - because we are distracted and oblivious? Point taken less said the better ( I believe I have this right ) Beautiful quote: It's about balance, "said Buddha - do not lean you forward or back. Neither the future - nor the past… (P. Viczena)
To end my chatter dali48 I could not help but say, these words well spoken ... "Behind me is death, and life is in front of me - at this moment, both are united, timeless, spaceless, relative, forever, etc." (dali48). Thanks , may your days be long , filled with health and beauty”...
