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)

This Hub is about the Tao - the archetype of time, being and nonbeing, etc. - and about Zen which targets its view over the symbols out on the things themselves. Everything exists according to its own nature. Man is a child of nature and gets along best when he works hand in hand with...

The statement "Zen which targets its view over the symbols out on the things themselves" describes Zen's emphasis on direct experience and observation of reality, rather than getting caught up in abstract concepts or symbolic interpretations. It suggests a focus on the "what is" rather than the "what it means". Here's a more detailed explanation: Beyond Symbols: Zen practice encourages practitioners to move beyond relying solely on symbolic representations or interpretations of things and to directly perceive the "thing itself". Direct Perception: This involves engaging with the world through direct sensory experience, without the filter of pre-conceived notions or symbolic frameworks. "Things Themselves": The phrase "things themselves" refers to the immediate, unfiltered reality as it appears in the present moment, without the overlay of conceptual labels or interpretations. Example: Instead of labeling a flower as a "rose" with all the associated cultural and symbolic baggage, Zen practice encourages experiencing the flower's redness, its texture, its scent, and its form as a direct, immediate experience. Connection to Behavior Analysis: Some scholars have noted a parallel between Zen's emphasis on direct experience and the focus on observable behavior in behavior analysis, where the focus is on what is happening rather than what it means or represents.

Observation, in the context of reality, refers to the act of perceiving and interpreting the world around us, which can have implications for how we understand and even shape reality itself. Quantum mechanics suggests that the act of observation can influence the state of quantum systems, leading to questions about the nature of objective reality and the role of the observer.

Das "Tao" (道), auch Dao, ist ein zentraler Begriff in der ostasiatischen Philosophie und Religion, besonders im Taoismus und Konfuzianismus. Es bezeichnet die natürliche Ordnung des Universums, eine Art grundlegenden Weg oder Prinzip, das allem zugrunde liegt. Im Taoismus wird das Tao als das Unbeschreibliche, das jenseits aller Konzepte und Namen liegt, aber dennoch in allen Dingen erfahrbar ist, verstanden. 
Hier sind einige Aspekte und Interpretationen des Tao:
Kosmologie und Ontologie:
Im Taoismus wird das Tao als Ursprung und Grundlage allen Seins gesehen. Es ist die Quelle von Yin und Yang, den beiden entgegengesetzten und doch komplementären Kräften, die das Universum gestalten. 
Ethik und Lebensführung:
Das Tao beeinflusst auch die ethische Lebensführung. Im Daodejing, einem der zentralen taoistischen Texte, wird das Tao als Leitfaden für eine harmonische Lebensweise und die Entwicklung der eigenen Persönlichkeit beschrieben. 
Politische Philosophie:
Das Tao kann auch auf die politische Ebene übertragen werden, wobei der Herrscher oder Staat als Teil der natürlichen Ordnung betrachtet wird und die Aufgabe hat, im Einklang mit dem Tao zu handeln. 
Taoismus:
Der Taoismus ist eine religiöse und philosophische Tradition, die das Tao als zentrales Element betrachtet. Er umfasst verschiedene Schulen und Praktiken, die auf die Harmonie mit dem Tao abzielen. 
Konfuzianismus:
Auch im Konfuzianismus spielt das Tao eine Rolle, wenn auch mit einem stärkeren Fokus auf soziale Ordnung und ethische Beziehungen. 
Daodejing (Tao-Te-King):
Dieses Werk, traditionell Laozi zugeschrieben, ist eine Sammlung von Gedichten und Sprüchen, die das Tao und seine Auswirkungen auf das Leben und die Welt beschreiben. 
Zhuangzi:
Ein weiteres wichtiges taoistisches Werk, das für seine anekdotenhaften und philosophischen Erzählungen bekannt ist, die das Tao in verschiedenen Kontexten beleuchten. 
Taotie:
Ein weiteres Konzept, das mit dem Tao in Verbindung gebracht werden kann, ist der Taotie, ein mythisches Fabelwesen, das oft auf chinesischen Bronzewaren zu finden ist und als Symbol für die Kräfte der Natur und des Tao interpretiert wird.
