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)

18.05.2011 - Interpretation of dali48 + update

Yesterday morning (17.05.) I was awakened by a strange noise and found that my alarm clock at the foot of my bed is not as usual indicating the time. In the pale light that fell through the skylight I was looking for my watch on my old student desk from Tübingen days. With my little blue pocket light trailer, I went to the fuse box and tried again to turn on the light - but it stayed dark. Shortly after 6 o’clock I heard my wife out of the bathroom cursing because the shower was cold. When preparing for the office in Dusseldorf, she found out that the stair lighting did not work either. - It didn't work, not only here with us but throughout the house ...

After she had left I went to the kitchen to prepare my morning tea in the microwave. - It also did not work, and so I drank cold cocoa for breakfast. My mobile phone was working at least, "God" be thanked, so I could send an SMS to our son in the neighborhood. Also the laptop was still working on battery, and I could transfer my post of 4/5/2011 from the writing book to the blogger. Then I continued to work on my unpublished blogs for the Internet - correcting, even censor and translate into English. Besides, I heard my favorite music on the MP3 player, Albano & Romina, "Siempre tu", etc...

At 9.24 a.m. I sent an SMS to our landlord, who meant that at 10.16 the electric current would function again, and then I prepared a second breakfast in the kitchen - with hot tea, soft egg, etc., and pushed an apple strudel in the oven ...

In the meantime, countless thoughts were going through my mind (see e.g. first oil crisis in 1974, as a student at the University of Tübingen, etc. - d.48), how to reduce the dependence on electricity a little bit – e.g. by self-generated solar and wind power on the roof, etc. to produce at least the minimum requirement of solar power yourself - for light, microwave, fridge, laptop, etc! ... (dali48)
Are there power outages in Germany? - The German electricity grid is considered to be very stable. Power outages are comparatively rare and usually only affect limited areas. Nevertheless, various events also show that critical infrastructures are vulnerable. A localized heavy rainfall or a severe storm can trigger power outages.05.06.2025
How long does a power cut last? - Network areas are divided into 18 separate sub areas. These areas are then allocated a block letter based on their postcode. Each planned power outage is likely to last around three hours, and in emergency cases, this could be longer.
Yes, John C. I agree that many things are adding up to a giant, dangerous headache for us. I also agree that the majority of people do not feel the need to change. Like lemings we will merrily run along following the pack until the sudden free-fall off the cliff ends our illusions. But on a happier note, some people are taking this more seriously and are converting their homes & travel to methods more beneficial to reducing their dependence upon the petro-narcotic and other wasteful ways of generating electrical power. Just recently a Texas oilman announced that he is helping get us off oil by building a wind-powered electrical generating plant that can power around 60,000 homes. Under the title of: Billionaire Oilman backs Wind Power, CNN reported the story at the following web site: http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/05/19/pickens.qa/index.

Tagebuch 2008 by 48 Dali
