Interpretation of dali48
Buddhism can be better agreed with the prevailing scientific thinking - than the Christian religions… (J. Blofeld)
In his last book, Suzuki described Shin Buddhism as the largest religious legacy of Japan to the West (see Shin Buddhism: sect of the “pure land”, etc. - d.48)...
The mind knows no geographic limit (no time, too – concerning future & past, etc. - d.48), no inside and outside, no self and no other...
Sectarianism in the sense that only one path is considered as correct, - and all other paths would have been vilified, is alien to Chinese tradition - which is why the religious history of China is not in the least like the bloodstained annals of Christianity and Islam…
There is broad consensus that learning and the maintenance of mystical intuition is not compatible (see A.W., Tübingen in the 70s, etc. - d.48)...
One is based on conceptual thinking concerning the other, - a significant progress can be only expected when one is advanced beyond the conceptual thinking...
The wise man is not learned, the scholar is not wise - The knower does not talk. The speaker does not recognize. - Knowing that one knows nothing, is the “highest”...
Who, with a clear view permeates everything - he may well stay without knowledge… (Lao-Tse)
Happiness and blessing are a place - where silence is… (Chuang)
Truth is neither by name and form to obtain - nor to understand by consciousness… (Seng Chao)
At a stroke, I forgot everything I knew (see nervous breakdown in Tübingen in 1974, etc. - d.48). Now there is no need for more studies… (Hsiang-yen Chih-hsien)
Let us just leave the wrong path, - that is intellectual or conceptual thinking (see wgg shared Monsanto Exposed's photo - Why bees are dying by the billions etc. - d.48), and nature will exist in its original purity...
Thus your karma ceases, - and all deceit fades away... (Huang Po)

Mysticism & intuition and Morning & windy etc. by dali48
dali48 and writing ediary4+5 and photographing "flora & fauna" and flowers & blossoms in Wickrath etc.
Interpretation of dali48
The cleaning is - that you keep from sleeping too long, abundant food, consumption of drugs (see e.g. alcohol, too much medicines, etc. - d.48), while your mind gradually weans the sensual objects...
Great courage must have the person - who identifies itself as a tiny, transient and constantly changing unit, and yet dares the big leap into the void, - into the calm, quiet, bright, pristine, undifferentiated realm of “absolute reality”...
Can we not solve ourselves from bad thoughts, cruel words, envy, and similar things, - so we are unable to even recognize purity…
Only by gentleness and generosity - we can win against this old “mara” (see devil, Freud's "It" - d.48) - the “self”...
If the whole body falls apart, something eternal intellectual is left, - what is it? Then the master replied: “It's windy again this morning”...
While Christian and Muslim mystics were generally regarded with suspicion by their “brothers in faith”, and not infrequently have been suppressed - Hindu, Buddhist and Taoist authorities explain the way of the mystic path explicitly to the highest of all...
Mysticism transcends logic and deals with a kind of truth - which is recognized only by direct intuition...
What eloquent testimony they (see Taoists) gave for the accuracy of one of their favorite theses, namely that true happiness has little to do with glory, fame or wealth…
No wonder, that by Confucians, republicans and communists - they were seen as dangerous and subversive...
For who, if he has once tasted the joys of a quiet life with no commitments - would voluntarily return to the political, social and commercial obligations - such as highly organized societies impose on their members? ... (J. Blofeld)

“wonderful thoughts dali48, I will take this one with me this morning ... quote:
If the whole body falls apart, something eternal intellectual is left, - what is it? Then the master replied: “It's windy again this morning”... profound..."
Golden Snow
“Having read this post again dali48 still this statement fills my heart quote: If the whole body falls apart, something eternal intellectual is left, - what is it? this made me say ... yes what is it ... our Spirit ... our body is just a learning place, the Spirit eternal ... and the master replied ... I love this Quote: Its windy again this morning ... no other answer is needed ... as I follow you dali48 I have come to know that true happiness comes from within ... I can hear you say "Its windy again this morning .. thanks for your patience ...”
Karma and meditation and transitory etc. by dali48
dali48 and photographing and meditating after grammar school near river Kocher in SHA in the 60s
Interpretation of dali48
Unfathomable are the innumerable worlds in all the universes - Many worlds are new or in decay, while many others stop to exist. - Like leaves in a forest, some grow, some fall down...
Like other seeds produce other fruits - or magicians conjure pictures with their magic. - So the creatures create by their (collective) karma - different world systems that are incomprehensible…
From then on felt Chih Tsang, whenever he saw another creature in need, and it might even be a small animal or insect, the same indomitable urge to save it without regard for himself. - So I remember a monk (see a contemplative person, etc. – d.48) who lived in a cave, and only eked out his existence with grass and candles...
We do it (see night prayer rituals) for the venerable Sheng Tsang, told me the elderly monk. Last month he became ill, - and we vowed to take his evil karma in this way to us, with the result that he is now restored (see spiritual healing, etc. - d.48)...
The conventional description of the states of condition for enlightenment says, that one experiences the emptiness of all beings, including the “self” - empty in the sense that these beings are transitory and only exist, by being interdependent of everything else (see e.g. biodiversity etc. - d.48), so that they have no self-existence...
In the West there are people who, in an effort to cast off the shackles of traditional religion, got a high opinion of meditation. - Religious rituals, however, they dismissed as mere nonsense, which is only good for the simple-minded...
This is certainly true, for what other purpose would have meditation as the realization of identity with that, which is greater than the “ego” - i.e. the “Tao”, the “Buddha mind”, and “God” - whatever one wants to call it? ... (J. Blofeld)

Fewer needs and good Life and your Mother etc. by dali48
dali48 and writing ediary4+5 and photographing "flora & fauna" and flowers & blossoms in Wickrath etc.
Interpretation of dali48
To enact laws - is the safest way to produce criminals...
Who would want to steal, cheat or fight wars, in a society - where greed and ambition would be unknown? ... (J. Blofeld)
Disgusted by a world of cruelty and greed, we came here in order to live in such a way, - as for city dwellers or people with family ties, it would hardly be possible..
From childhood on, we are taught that wealth is the most important of all, - and so we work from early morning till late at night, to accumulate still more of it, - and are dispensing us with all kinds of nice things, because we pursue that, which is falsely called the precondition for a good life, - though it is profoundly wrong...
When I spoke to my sons of the wisdom of self-restraint and tried to make them understand, - and to feel how much richer they would be, if they learned to have fewer needs, - they surely thought to themselves that I had lost my mind...
I myself have never been wealthy, - and they must believe, therefore, that wealth is a curse, but I doubt that the sufferings of the rich (why can’t they share, etc.? - d.48) are harder to bear than the misery of the poor (too much of anything is as bad as too little, - see polarization in all areas - between cold & hot climate, etc. - that is, for me to share everything with each other as the air we breathe, etc. - d.48)…
Loss brings gain - too much of it creates confusion… (Lao-tse)
Retrospectively considered or in my memory - the reality seems to me like a dream, which is unreal. It follows that, conversely it seems that future reality - appears to me as a visionary dream… (dali48)
Systems of reward and punishment create more problems - than they eliminate...
The very idea that there would be such a thing as duty and virtue - is harmful, because by “the rights defined”, it also represents the category of “wrong”...
We live by the principle of "wu-wei" (no activism), i.e. we avoid any activity that does not follow spontaneously from the present circumstances...
What wonders could be accomplished, and the tragic failures could be avoided if teachers just did as it in school (and would follow the talents of the students, etc. - d.48)...
It's best to ask the venerable “bamboo-needle hermit.” - A homeless man from childhood, he is truly an “immortal, who lives in the clouds” a man who is living by "moon beams and dew”, as they say...
“Tao” means - mother of perpetual change...
The world of corrupt officials, rapacious businessmen and police officers, who like to shoot - seemed here (see hermitage), as far removed as an alien planet...
A formal behavior - shows a lack of loyalty and of true love...
Viewed correctly, then every detail of life and nature is an equally unfathomable mystery as any other mystery, you could think of - So why should our teaching (see e.g. Tao, Zen etc. - d.48) to be especially mysterious?
Or really more "not doing" - because it is an essential feature of the Taoists, and so they avoid each calculated act and react only to the needs of the moment...
The beginning of being the world is called the mother of the world. - Whoever finds his mother (see “Paradise, Garden Eden, Mother Earth”, etc. – d.48) will see his childhood again, and who preserves his mother, will come in no danger, if his “ego” is fading away... (Tao Te Ching)
