26.04.2014 - Zen and Tao etc. by dali48
dali48 and private teaching and writing books and cycling and photographing blossoms & flowers etc.
Interpretation of dali48
The wise does not discuss - not because of principle but because he has nothing to say. He is empty and simple - like a newborn child who gets its milk directly from "Mother Tao" (see “Mother Nature”, etc. – d.48). He has all the food he needs. - So why should he discuss? ... (R. Smullyan)
Indeed are all the situations repugnant to me, in which a person surrenders its will to another living being. - I just don’t like situations, in which one rules and the other obeys (see e.g. military, etc. - d.48)...
By venerating an object, you simultaneously tend to remove from it, - instead of making it to your own world...
The "worship" of the Buddha (see Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, etc. - d.48) or the Buddha-nature is often a substitute - for the attainment of Buddha-nature...
Jesus was not an incarnation of “God”, but an “enlightened” man and a religious teacher and reformer...
To worship statues of Buddha, is nothing but idol worship (see Zen: "Should the name of Buddha come across your lips, then wash your mouth", etc. - d.48)...
There on the temple bell - a sleeping butterfly… (Haiku by Buson)
For me, nothing is so aggressive and hostile, like one, who is constantly asking the other person that it should say the "purpose" of its doing. - Taoists teach that neither exaggerated reverence, yet lack of respect (see golden middle - ying & yang, etc. - d.48)...
Zen masters have the ability to turn their deepest reverence from one minute to another in complete disrespect, without seeing between these two states - even the slightest contradiction...
The Tao has no purpose - and therefore meets all purposes – miraculously… (Lao-Tse)
For most things I've done in my life, I had at the time when I did it, no particular purpose in mind. - But now I recognize the underlying purpose that lay behind them...
The musician plays the fiddle. - To write something and leave it behind us is like a dream. - When we wake, we know - that it will not even be read by someone... (Ikkyu)
Golden Snow
“This is an interesting statement dali48 , by (R. Smullyan) the wise do not speak ... interesting because it makes good sense ... If one knows it all there is no need to discuss further .... what a shame for those of us who do not know ... knowledge gained really should be knowledge shared .. example .for months I have been following sites for health shared by dali48 , information which has given me health I would not have thought possible” ...
Golden Snow
“The subject of Buddha ... myself I see such warm and gentle people ... I love the wonderful open and loving heart's ... soft voices ... I believe idol worship to be a waste of time ... we are free spirits to gain our knowledge by the way of the Spiri”...
Golden Snow
“just have to put this quote here ... :For most things I've done in my life, I had at the time when I did it, no particular purpose in mind. - But now I recognize the underlying purpose that lay behind them”...
“The musician plays the fiddle. - To write something and leave it behind us is like a dream. - When we wake, we know - that it will not even be read by someone... (Ikkyu) ( yes ) thanks dali48” ...
28.04.2014 - Saints and Sinners etc. by dali48
dali48 and writing ediary4+5 and cycling and photographing a lake in the park of Wickrath since 6/2010 etc.
Interpretation of dali48
The attempt to teach people friendliness by measures of hardness - is the same as the proverbial war that cannot abolish war. Hardness encourages hardness (i.e. war creates war, or - who is sowing wind, will harvest storm, see Grandma Helen, Steinbach, 50s and 60s - or even: who destroys the “Flora & Fauna” - will cause natural disasters, etc. - d.48)...
The only difference between the so-called saints and the so-called sinners - is that the former are much older than the latter. Unfortunately, one needs endless cycles of life, until one has identified perhaps the most important fact in the universe - evil means pain (see William Golding and "Man produces evil - as Bees produce honey" etc. – d.48)…
All of the moralist arguments pale into insignificance in the light of a basic truth - that evil means to be suffering...
I am the way of things. I am the process. I do nothing, but everything is done by me. I am not the cause of the cosmic process, I am the cosmic process itself. - I am the process of enlightenment...
Maybe I could convey my message better, by saying that someone who believes he has the right to do whatever he wants, perhaps - will do voluntarily, what is right... (R. Smullyan)
The best way to help others - is to see yourself the light first of all...
And because people need a personal “God” - it follows that I am one?
Because many children and primitives still have an original form of Intuition, which you have lost. If I'm honest, I think it would be good for you just to talk (see non-verbal communication, etc. – d.48) to a tree now and then (or with animals & plants, etc. - d.48). It would be even better than to talk to me... (R. Smullyan)
Golden Snow
“so much said ... information to start ones mind moving ...touching on marvelous subjects ... things to ponder on ... dali48. I could write a book myself on these subjects ... thank you ... talk to a tree ... now that I do ... may I quote from your entry: I am the way of things. I am the process. I do nothing, but everything is done by me. I am not the cause of the cosmic process, I am the cosmic process itself. - I am the process of enlightenment... this cover a great deal ... thank you”....
Interpretation of dali48
Freedom is to do what you like, – but Zen is to love what you do. Zen teaches us, not only to want to do what we do, but even to accept ourselves, as we are, and not to try to be someone we are not...
The contrast between right and wrong - is the sickness of the mind… (R. Smullyan)
The Swan needs not bathe every day - to stay white...
I give up no duties. - When others give up obligations, I give a living impetus... (W. Whitman)
28.04.2014 - Freedom and Zen etc. by dali48
dali48 and writing ediary6-12 and photographing "flora & fauna" in the park of Wickrath since 6/2010 etc.
Interpretation of dali48
“The dog and the wise man - are indistinguishable”...
Visit the graves. – “It shows us the old dog - the right way”... (Haiku by Issa)
“The young dog that does not know that already is autumn - must be a Buddha”...
“If it's warm, it bathes in the sun - when it rains, it whines to be let into the house”...
“There is nothing between the sun and the young dog, the rain and the whining”...
see “Pushkin had a dog - and its name was Caruso”… (GG, 1912 - 1983)
For a creature like it, the idea of sin is unnecessary, - and both intellectually and morally or spiritually considered a big mistake. It lives directly in “God.” - It is enough if it is just allowed to bark and run away from those people - who are all too aware of their sins, and want to inflict suffering to this “innocent” creature that's just coming from the Garden of Eden (see e.g. B. Bardot and baby seals in the 60s etc. - see I.B. Singer and Treblinka & Animals etc. - see William Golding and "Man produces evil - as Bees produce honey" etc. – (d.48)... (D. Suzuki)
