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)

Biography of René Magritte, Belgian Surrealist
René Magritte, a Belgian surrealist artist, was born on November 21, 1898, and died on August 15, 1967. He is renowned for his thought-provoking and often witty surrealist paintings that challenge viewers' perceptions of reality. Magritte's work frequently features familiar objects in unexpected contexts, exploring the relationship between images, words, and the subconscious. 
Here are some key aspects of his life and work:
Early Life and Influences:
Magritte was born in Lessines, Belgium.
His mother's suicide when he was a teenager deeply affected him.

He initially worked in commercial art, designing wallpaper and advertisements.
He was influenced by the metaphysical paintings of Giorgio de Chirico. 
Surrealism and Artistic Style:
Magritte is considered one of the most important surrealist painters. 
Surrealism, an art movement exploring the subconscious and dreams, heavily influenced his work. 
He used ordinary objects in unusual and often unsettling juxtapositions to challenge viewers' perceptions. 
His paintings often feature bowler hats, pipes, apples, and other recognizable elements. 
He explored the relationship between images and words, notably with his painting "The Treachery of Images," which includes the phrase "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" (This is not a pipe). 
Key Works and Themes:
"The Treachery of Images" (1929) 
"The Son of Man" (1964), featuring a man in a bowler hat with an apple obscuring his face. 
"The Empire of Light" series, depicting a nighttime scene with a bright, sunny sky. 
His works often explore themes of representation, reality, and the power of the subconscious. 
Legacy:
Magritte's art has influenced pop art, minimalist art, and conceptual art. 
He has been the subject of numerous exhibitions and retrospectives. 
The Magritte Museum in Brussels is dedicated to his work.
