see dali48 and "I think - therefore I am" etc. (Descartes), see The motto "I buy, so I am" (M. Fox)
"As long as humans think that animals do not feel, animals must feel that humans do not think." " - author unknown
see dali48 and nearly being touched by a low flying swift at lake Unterbacher near Erkrath, 8/1983 till 5/2010
Each day is our whole life - from sunrise to sunset etc… (dali48) 
see dali48 and "Zen finds religion in the daily activities." (I-tuan), see Does Zen believe in a soul? - However, the Buddha taught that there are no such things as a permanent Self or Soul which can be reincarnated or reborn after death (Rahula, 1974: page 3). The Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh believes there is no reincarnation in Buddhism (Miller, 2012).
see What is a Zen spirit? - Zen is defined as a state of calm where actions are guided by intuition rather than by conscious effort. The term comes from the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese word Chan – with roots to the Indian practice of thinking and meditating known as Dhyana.
see What is the psychology of Zen? - Zen is experiential, not didactic. Enlightenment relies heavily on intuition, metaphor, and poetry. The master can point in the general direction toward wisdom, but each person must find their own personal path.19.03.2022
see Is Zen ok for Christians? - Because they are not on the same plane, Zen and Christianity do not conflict. Graham in his book, Zen Catholicism also points out that there is no harm in applying Zen insights into Catholicism.
see Does Zen believe in afterlife? - In Zen, Life and Death are one, a continuum, and they are not separated and there is no dividing line between them (as, indeed, there is actually no dividing line between anything, there only seems to be – divisions are arbitrary and made to enable us to function in the finite world, what Zen calls 'the world of form') ...10.03.2014
see How does Zen affect life? - Zen meditation reduces stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation and deep-breathing techniques. It helps people to manage their emotions, gain clarity of mind and experience deep peace and emotional well-being. The practice halts constant intrusive thoughts.09.05.2024
see What makes a person Zen? - They don't let stress, anger, or frustration get the better of them. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, the word “zen” refers to a person's ability to remain calm and relaxed in the face of difficulties and not worry about things out of their control.27.02.2021
see Is Zen good for Mental Health? - Meditation and mindfulness practices like Zen Therapy have also been shown to have a variety of other positive effects, both mentally and physically, such as promoting feelings of calmness, improving sleep and immune function, reducing feelings of stress and increasing self-awareness.09.11.2022
Let go of something you like, and realize how fleeting it is by living without it... (Ayya Khema) 
What is the Buddhist quote about pain? - A quote usually attributed to Buddha says, “Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional.” What a profound statement! There is no suffering if you can let go. Pain becomes immaterial in the absence of suffering.29.01.2012
Buddha realized that all living beings suffer because they desire and cling ... - Peace is an inner attitude to life that consists of letting go and renunciation (see e.g. nuns & monks etc. - d.48) ... (Buddha) 
Das Leben im Daseinskreislauf ist leidvoll: Geburt ist Leiden, Altern ist Leiden, Krankheit ist Leiden, Tod ist Leiden; Kummer, Lamentieren, Schmerz und Verzweiflung sind Leiden." (Buddha)

see dali48 and reading & writing about chick shredding, and buying Free range eggs etc.
Homeopathy of S. Hahnemann (ca. 200 years old) should be updated, - i.e. for me more Mother tincture & less medicine shaking, and why is there no homeopathic vaccination? - see "similibus" principle etc. (dali48)
see dali48 and "I hope that Biontech (formerly in Mainz, now in London) & #mRNA #vaccines etc. - will develop a vaccination against cancer etc."
see dali48 and Vollgeld-Initiative & Basic Income in Europe etc. - instead of Banking Crisis 2008 etc.
I also like weeping willow trees - e.g. when I was on camping vacation in the 80s in France & Spain, I had my lunch (fish soup) under such a tree (that was like a tent) in the park of Bordeaux etc. (dali48)

06.07.2009 - Interpretation of dali48 + update
Health is the greatest gift, - contentment the greatest wealth, - faithfulness the best relationship. - His success may be great, but be it ever so great the wheel of fortune may turn again, - and bring him down into the dust. - A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected - as if he reveals a secret of hidden treasure ... (daily Buddha)

Here are some daily Buddhist quotes: "Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship." Another quote: "Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others." And finally: "Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule."

The quote "Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship," attributed to Buddha, highlights the importance of faithfulness in relationships. It suggests that while health and contentment are valuable, faithfulness is the most desirable quality in a relationship, fostering trust, security, and emotional intimacy. 
Here's a breakdown of why faithfulness is considered so important: 
Trust and Security:
Faithfulness builds a foundation of trust, making partners feel safe and secure in their relationship.
Emotional Intimacy:
It allows for deeper emotional connection and vulnerability when partners know they can rely on each other's fidelity.
Strengthened Bond:
Faithfulness strengthens the bond between partners, promoting a sense of unity and shared commitment.
Long-term Happiness:
By fostering a healthy and fulfilling relationship, faithfulness contributes to mutual happiness and the longevity of the partnership.
What does faithfulness is the best relationship mean? - Being faithful is much more than just staying true to your partner; it's about nurturing a relationship built on mutual respect, trust, and love. By embracing these 19 rules, you can foster a deeper connection that thrives on emotional intimacy, shared growth, and unwavering commitment.22.05.2024
What does health is the greatest gift contentment is the greatest wealth mean? - It has been said by Buddha that health is the greatest gift because one who is healthy can earn money for a longer time and can utilise it well. On the other hand, one who is not healthy won't be able to utilise it because all the money that he earns will be spent on his treatment.12.08.2019

Philosophical wisdom for living emphasizes self-reflection, virtue, and reason. Key ideas include understanding your values, seeking truth, cultivating inner strength, and living in accordance with your principles. 
Here's a more detailed look at some philosophical principles that can guide your life:
1. Self-Reflection and Examination:
Know Thyself:
Understanding your strengths, weaknesses, values, and motivations is crucial for personal growth. 
The Unexamined Life:
Socrates famously stated that an unexamined life is not worth living, highlighting the importance of self-reflection and critical thinking. 
Be Mindful:
Practice present-moment awareness, engaging with your thoughts and emotions without judgment. 
2. Cultivating Virtue and Reason:
Virtue Ethics:
Focus on developing good character traits like wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance, which lead to a flourishing life. 
Rationality:
Use reason and logic to guide your decisions and actions, rather than succumbing to impulses or emotions. 
Live by Principle:
Establish a set of guiding principles and strive to live in accordance with them, even when faced with challenges. 
3. Understanding Your Place in the World:
Stoic Acceptance:
Recognize that many things in life are beyond your control, such as external events and other people's actions. Accept what you cannot change and focus on what you can control, your own thoughts and actions. 
The Impermanence of Life:
Accept that change is inevitable and embrace the transient nature of existence. 
Find Your Purpose:
Reflect on your values and goals to discover your purpose in life and strive to live a meaningful life. 
4. Living in Harmony with Others:
Treat Others Kindly: Strive to treat others with respect, compassion, and empathy. 
Forgiveness: Learn to forgive yourself and others, recognizing that everyone makes mistakes. 
Seek Truth and Justice: Act with integrity and strive for a just and fair world. 
5. Finding Meaning and Happiness:
Inner Peace:
Cultivate inner peace by accepting what is, focusing on what you can control, and living a virtuous life. 
Meaningful Relationships:
Nurture meaningful connections with others, as friendships and relationships can bring great joy and support. 
Embrace Challenges:
View challenges as opportunities for growth and learning, rather than obstacles to avoid. 
By incorporating these philosophical principles into your daily life, you can cultivate wisdom, find meaning, and live a more fulfilling life.
