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)

Always recognize the dreamlike quality of life and reduce attachment and aversion. Be kindhearted to all beings! - Be loving and compassionate no matter what others do to you (see their karma etc. -d.48)! - What they do does not count so much when one can see it as a dream! - The trick is to cherish good intentions during the dream! - This is the essential! - This is true spirituality! ... (C. T. Rinpoche)

After I discovered the reincarnation, time was no longer limited. - I was no longer slave of the clock! - Would you invest 1/10 of the time you devote to the distractions - as looking for women or making money - for the spiritual practice - then you would be enlightened in a few years ... (Ramakrishna)

The phrase "time was no longer limited" suggests a shift in perception, often associated with a belief in reincarnation. It implies that the individual no longer views time as a linear progression with a finite end, but rather as a cyclical process or a continuous stream of existence. This perspective is often linked to the idea of an eternal soul that continues to be reborn.
Here's a breakdown of the connection between reincarnation and the perception of time:
1. Breaking Free from Linear Time:
Finite Life Span:
In a purely linear view of time, life is finite. Death is the end, and once it's over, there's no continuation of experience within the physical realm.
Reincarnation and Cyclical Time:
Reincarnation proposes that the soul is reborn into new lives after death, creating a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. This cyclical view of time can be comforting as it suggests that death is not an end but a transition.
Eternal Soul:
Reincarnation often implies the existence of an eternal soul or spirit that continues its journey through multiple lifetimes.
2. Beyond the Physical Body:
Identity and the Self:
Reincarnation challenges the idea that the individual self is solely defined by the physical body and its lifespan.
Shift in Consciousness:
By embracing reincarnation, individuals may experience a shift in consciousness, recognizing that their identity transcends the physical form and extends across lifetimes.
Sense of Continuity:
This can lead to a sense of continuity and interconnectedness with past and future lives, blurring the boundaries of time as experienced in a single lifetime.
3. Potential Interpretations and Beliefs:
Spiritual Growth:
Some believe that the purpose of reincarnation is to learn and evolve spiritually, with each lifetime offering new lessons and opportunities for growth.
Liberation from the Cycle:
Other traditions focus on breaking free from the cycle of reincarnation through enlightenment or liberation.
Personal Faith:
Ultimately, the belief in reincarnation and its implications for time are often a matter of personal faith and conviction.
4. Experiences and Perspectives:
Vivid Dreams and Memories:
Some individuals report having vivid dreams or memories of past lives, which can strengthen their belief in reincarnation.
Spiritual Encounters:
Others may have spiritual experiences or encounters that lead them to believe in the existence of a soul and its journey through multiple lifetimes.
Sense of Deja Vu:
Experiences of deja vu, a feeling of having been in a situation before, may also be interpreted as a connection to past lives.
In summary, the statement "time was no longer limited" reflects a shift in perspective often associated with reincarnation, where the individual recognizes the soul's journey through multiple lifetimes and the cyclical nature of existence, potentially leading to a sense of continuity and liberation from the constraints of linear time.

Just as Galileo's people have held the earth as the center of the solar system, today we hold our body or our "ego" as the center of the environment - what is also an illusion! ... (dali48)
Did Galileo think the Earth was the center of the solar system? - He discovered that the sun has sunspots, which appear to be dark in color. Galileo's discoveries about the Moon, Jupiter's moons, Venus, and sunspots supported the idea that the Sun - not the Earth - was the center of the Universe, as was commonly believed at the time.24.02.2009

So there is a way to accept transitoriness, and at the same time to enjoy life - without grasping. Since life is nothing but a constant flow of birth, death, and transition, we are constantly making "bardo experiences." - Of all traces, the elephant is the largest. Of all mindfulness meditations - is the highest about death ... (Buddha)

"Bardo experiences" bezieht sich auf die Zwischenzustände, die im tibetischen Buddhismus als Bardo bezeichnet werden. Diese Zustände treten sowohl im Leben als auch nach dem Tod auf und sind durch Unsicherheit, Übergang und Potenzial für Veränderungen gekennzeichnet. Der Begriff "Bardo" (tib.: བར་དོ་, Wylie: bar do) bedeutet wörtlich "Zwischenzustand" oder "Zwischenreich". 
Erläuterung:
Im Leben:
Bardo-Erfahrungen können alltägliche Momente der Unsicherheit, des Übergangs oder der Auflösung von Gewohnheiten umfassen. Es ist ein Zustand, in dem wir uns von alten Mustern lösen und uns auf etwas Neues einstellen. 
Nach dem Tod:
Im Tibetischen Totenbuch wird der Bardo nach dem Tod als ein Zwischenreich zwischen dem Sterben und der Wiedergeburt beschrieben. 
Bedeutung:
Bardo-Erfahrungen sind nicht nur ein Phänomen des Sterbens, sondern ein grundlegender Bestandteil des Lebens selbst, da wir ständig mit Übergängen und Veränderungen konfrontiert sind. 
Umgang:
Das Verständnis und die Praxis des Bardo können uns helfen, mit den Herausforderungen und Unsicherheiten des Lebens besser umzugehen und die transformative Kraft dieser Zwischenzustände zu nutzen. 
Beispiele für Bardo-Erfahrungen:
Eine plötzliche Erkenntnis oder ein Aha-Moment.
Der Verlust eines geliebten Menschen und die damit verbundene Leere.
Eine Lebenskrise oder ein einschneidendes Ereignis.
Das Gefühl, den Boden unter den Füßen zu verlieren.
Momente der Klarheit und des tiefen Verständnisses. 
Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass Bardo-Erfahrungen Momente des Übergangs, der Unsicherheit und des Potenzials für Transformation sind, die sowohl im Leben als auch nach dem Tod auftreten können.
