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)

Homeschooling -- the actual road to education. Schools – the failed alternative
Retweeted by 
Übersicht mit KI
Homeschooling and traditional schooling both have potential as paths to education, with unique strengths and weaknesses. While homeschooling offers tailored learning experiences and increased parental involvement, it also presents challenges like potential educational neglect and the need for parental expertise. Traditional schools, despite providing a structured environment and social interaction, may not always meet individual learning needs or offer the same level of parental control. Ultimately, the most effective approach depends on individual student needs, family circumstances, and educational goals. 
Homeschooling:
Pros:
Personalized learning: Homeschooling allows for customized curriculums and pace, catering to individual learning styles and needs. 
Flexibility: Homeschooling offers flexibility in scheduling, allowing for a more relaxed learning environment and the ability to integrate learning into daily life. 
Stronger family bonds: Homeschooling can foster closer relationships between parents and children through shared learning experiences. 
Reduced exposure to negative influences: Some parents choose homeschooling to shield their children from bullying, peer pressure, or negative social influences in traditional schools. 
Cons:
Potential for educational neglect: If not implemented effectively, homeschooling can lead to gaps in knowledge or skills if parents lack the necessary expertise or resources. 
Socialization concerns: Homeschooling can limit opportunities for social interaction and development, though this is often addressed through extracurricular activities and community involvement. 
Parental burden: Homeschooling requires significant time, effort, and resources from parents, which can be demanding. 
Lack of formal structure and support: Homeschooling may lack the structured curriculum and support systems available in traditional schools. 
Traditional Schooling:
Pros:
Structured learning environment: Traditional schools offer a structured curriculum and schedule, providing a clear framework for learning.
Social interaction and development: Schools provide opportunities for children to interact with peers, develop social skills, and learn to navigate social situations.
Access to resources and expertise: Schools have access to a wider range of resources, including libraries, laboratories, and specialized teachers.
Parental support and guidance: Schools provide a framework for parental involvement and support, including parent-teacher conferences and school events.
Cons:
One-size-fits-all approach: Traditional schools may not always cater to individual learning styles or needs, potentially hindering some students' progress.
Potential for negative social influences: Traditional schools can expose students to bullying, peer pressure, and other negative social situations.
Limited parental control: Parents have less control over their children's learning experiences and curriculum in traditional schools.
Potential for disengagement and boredom: Some students may find traditional schooling unengaging or boring, leading to a lack of motivation and academic struggles. 
In conclusion: Both homeschooling and traditional schooling have their own merits and drawbacks. The best choice depends on the individual needs of the student and the family's circumstances. Some families may find that a hybrid approach, combining the strengths of both, is the most effective way to educate their children.

What is the meaning of the song San Francisco by Scott McKenzie? - One of the defining anthems of the Summer of Love is Scott McKenzie's “San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair)”. The song was written by John Phillips of the Mamas and Papas and, more than anything else, was conceived as a way to promote the Monterey International Pop Festival he was organising.09.11.2018

Solar News: Solar-Powered Still Turns Salty Ocean Water Fresh: Without access to fresh, clean drinking water, mi...

Yes, solar-powered stills can convert saltwater into fresh, drinkable water. This technology, often referred to as solar desalination, uses the sun's energy to evaporate saltwater, leaving the salt behind, and then condenses the vapor into pure water. Several projects and research efforts are underway to improve the efficiency and scalability of solar-powered desalination systems for providing clean water, especially in remote or off-grid locations. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
How it works:
Solar stills utilize a simple principle: sunlight heats saltwater, causing it to evaporate. The water vapor rises and then condenses on a cooler surface, forming fresh water that is collected separately. 
Efficiency and Improvement:
Scientists are actively working on enhancing the efficiency of solar desalination. This includes optimizing the design of the still, using advanced materials to absorb more sunlight, and finding ways to increase the rate of evaporation and condensation. 
Applications:
Solar desalination is particularly promising for providing freshwater in areas with limited access to clean water and reliable energy sources. Several projects are focused on deploying these systems in rural communities, island nations, and disaster-stricken areas. 
Examples:
GivePower, a non-profit organization, has deployed solar-powered desalination systems in coastal communities like Kiunga, Kenya, that can produce a significant amount of freshwater daily. According to a report by Business Insider, their system can produce 19,800 gallons of fresh water daily, enough for 25,000 people. Researchers at MIT have developed a new solar-powered desalination system inspired by the ocean, which uses a single-stage system with an evaporator and condenser to produce fresh water.
