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)

A review of the effects of environmental hazards on humans ...
Environmental hazards encompass a wide range of threats to human health and the environment, including both natural disasters and human-induced issues. These hazards can be categorized into natural hazards like earthquakes and floods, and human-induced hazards such as pollution, climate change, and deforestation. 
Natural Hazards:
Geological: Earthquakes, landslides, and volcanic eruptions.
Hydrological: Floods, droughts, and tsunamis.
Atmospheric: Hurricanes, tornadoes, heatwaves, and wildfires.
Biological: Outbreaks of disease, harmful algal blooms. 
Human-Induced Hazards:
Pollution: Air, water, and soil pollution from industrial and agricultural activities. 
Climate Change: Extreme weather events, sea level rise, and disruptions to ecosystems. 
Deforestation: Loss of forests leading to soil erosion, habitat loss, and altered weather patterns. 
Chemicals and Waste: Toxic waste, pesticides, and industrial chemicals contaminating the environment. 
Radiation: Radioactive contamination from industrial accidents or nuclear testing. 
Noise: Excessive noise from industrial and transportation sources affecting human health and wildlife. 
Overpopulation: Strain on resources and increased pollution. 
Specific examples of environmental hazards:
Air pollution: Emissions from vehicles, factories, and power plants. 
Water pollution: Industrial discharge, agricultural runoff, and sewage contaminating rivers, lakes, and oceans. 
Chemical hazards: Exposure to toxic chemicals in the workplace, in consumer products, or through environmental contamination. 
Noise pollution: Exposure to loud noises from construction, traffic, or industrial activities. 
Radiation: Exposure to ionizing radiation from natural sources or human activities. 
Foodborne illnesses: Contamination of food with pathogens from natural sources or improper food handling. 
The impact of environmental hazards can be far-reaching, affecting human health, ecosystems, and the economy. 

Herbert Needleman - Wikipedia


Needleman has been credited with having played the key role in triggering environmental safety measures that have reduced average blood lead levels by an estimated 78 percent between 1976 and 1991. He died in Pittsburgh in 2017.

It all comes from the fact that man is seized by himself and his desires into an abyss of murder, robbery, rape and self-destruction by excessive greed. - Violence, sexual excesses, consumption of narcotics and sadism:
They tell us, everything is going to happen when you let the people shoot the reins. - So we are told, we need law, order and discipline. - What is true? - The transactional analyst knows that the human being is okay, is good, cooperative, helpful, beautiful, intelligent, healthy, lovable and capable of love. - Why is he so terrible? - Why does he smoke 60 cigarettes a day, eats too much and kills himself with alcohol and drugs? - Why are men so disagreeably, why do they steal and lie, let themselves be abused and exploited? - Our answer is:
They act like this because they are "nailed" (unconsciously) to a script. - In addition, they are still encouraged by others who benefit from it, in their script-binding. - The food and drug producers push us to smoke, to drink, to excessive food and drug abuse. - We are to exploit as workers and citizens the easier - the more aggressive and individualistic we are, and the more we put ourselves under pressure of competition by each other. - For the script is something that feels pleasant something bad. - Sex without affection (love) and sometimes affection without sex is unpleasant. - Self-satisfaction is pleasant, on the other hand. - Most dangerous are barbiturates, heroin and alcohol! - The most harmless, although the use of this remedy is so demonized and severely punished (see e.g. medicinal cannabis etc. - d.48). - We are lustless because we feel no joy and no pain (see alienation, depression etc. - d.48)! Without pain, we neglect our body - until the pain can no longer be denied ... (C. Steiner)
What is worse, alcohol or smoking? - Although both of these behaviors can negatively affect people's health, experts advise that smoking is generally worse for health than drinking alcohol. Quitting smoking and stopping alcohol consumption can be beneficial for health and reduce the risk of related health conditions.
How many smokers live past 80? - Smoking causes or predisposes to many other types of cancer, including cancers of the throat, mouth, nasal cavity, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, kidney, bladder, and cervix, and acute myeloid leukemia. The chance that a young person will live to age 80 is about 70% for nonsmokers but only 35% for smokers.30.05.2013
Übersicht mit KIThe idea of being "nailed to a script" in this context refers to the concept that people's behaviors and reactions are often predictable and repetitive, stemming from ingrained patterns and subconscious beliefs. These patterns can be thought of as a kind of internal script, guiding their actions and responses without conscious awareness. Here's a breakdown of the concept: Subconscious Script:Just as a screenplay has a predetermined narrative, our subconscious minds, influenced by past experiences and learned behaviors, can dictate how we react to situations.Limiting Beliefs:These subconscious scripts often contain limiting beliefs, which are negative or self-sabotaging thoughts that can restrict our potential.Unquestioned Assumptions:Many of these beliefs are adopted from others (parents, friends, society) and are accepted without critical examination.Predictable Behavior:This can lead to predictable patterns of behavior, where individuals respond in similar ways to similar situations, even if those responses are not always effective or helpful.Lack of Awareness:The key point is that this "script" operates largely outside of conscious awareness, making it difficult for individuals to identify and change these ingrained patterns.
Übersicht mit KIThe statement "Without pain, we neglect our body - until the pain can no longer be denied" highlights a common human tendency to ignore bodily signals until they become severe enough to force attention. This neglect can manifest as overlooking minor aches, postponing necessary rest or medical attention, and engaging in habits detrimental to physical well-being. Essentially, pain serves as a crucial warning system, and its absence can lead to a cycle of escalating problems until the body's limits are reached. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Initial Neglect:When the body experiences minor discomfort or subtle symptoms, individuals may rationalize or dismiss them, prioritizing other demands or concerns.Escalating Problems:This initial neglect can allow underlying issues to worsen, leading to more intense pain or other physical problems.Forced Attention:The escalating pain eventually demands attention, forcing individuals to confront the consequences of their previous neglect.Pain Cycle:This cycle of neglect and forced attention can be detrimental to overall health and well-being.Importance of Listening:The statement emphasizes the importance of paying attention to the body's signals, even minorones, to prevent the development of more serious issues.
