Interpretation of dali48
Janwillem Lincoln van de Wetering (1931 - 2008) was the author of a number of works in English and Dutch. Van de Wetering was born and raised in Rotterdam, but in later years he lived in South Africa, Japan, London, Colombia, Peru, Australia, Amsterdam and most recently in Surry, Maine, the setting of two of his Grijpstra and de Gier novels and his children's series about the porcupine Hugh Pine...
Van de Wetering studied Zen under the guidance of Oda Sessō, together with Walter Nowick, at Daitoku-ji. Van de Wetering lived a year in Daitoku-Ji and half a year with Nowick and described these in The Empty Mirror. Van de Wetering describes a visit to the monastery by the highly respected Hugo Enomiya-Lassalle, describing his own mixed thoughts about this representative of what he deemed an old-fashioned religion. Sōkō Morinaga, Walter Nowick's Dharma brother, wrote in Novice to Master about traditional practices at that time...
De Gier, younger and attractive with deep brown eyes and curly hair and most-often sporting a tasteful denim suit, is single, handsome, and very successful with women. Despite his womanizing, he is an avowed bachelor, and dedicated most to his Siamese cat Oliver (at least, in earlier novels). He is a dreamer and deep thinker, with discursive pondering about "the void," Zen, and life. A native of Rotterdam, he is, like Grijpstra, an amateur musician. He often carries a small flute, and in odd moments he and Grijpstra improvise together in their office... (Wikipedia)

Interpretation of dali48
Zhàozhōu Cōngshěn (Chinese: Chao-chou Ts'ung-shen; Japanese: Jōshū Jūshin) (778–897), was a Chán (Zen) Buddhist master especially known for his "paradoxical statements and strange deeds"...
Zhaozhou became ordained as a monk at an early age. At the age of 18, he met Nánquán Pǔyuàn (748–835; J: Nansen Fugan), a successor of Mǎzǔ Dàoyī (709–788; J. Baso Do-itsu), and eventually received the Dharma from him. When Nanquan asked Zhaozhou the koan "What is the Way?", the two had a dialogue, at the height of which Zhaozhou attained enlightenment. Zhaozhou continued to practice under Nanquan until the latter's death...
Subsequently, Zhaozhou began to travel throughout China, visiting the prominent Chan masters of the time before finally, at the age of eighty, settling in Guānyīnyuàn, a ruined temple in northern China. Here, for the next 40 years, he taught a small group of monks...
Zhaozhou is sometimes touted as the greatest Chan master of Tang dynasty China during a time when its hegemony was disintegrating as more and more regional military governors (jiédùshǐ) began to assert their power. Zhaozhou's lineage died out quickly due to the many wars and frequent purges of Buddhism in China at the time, and cannot be documented beyond the year 1000...
Many koans in both the Blue Cliff Record and The Gateless Gate concern Zhaozhou, with twelve cases in the former and five in the latter being attributed to him. He is, however, probably best known for the first koan in The Gateless Gate - A monk asked Chao-chou, "Has the dog Buddha-nature or not?" Chao-chou said, "Wu"... (Wikipedia)

30.09.2000 – Interpretation of dali48
The aim of the master is to bring the egocentric slacker so far - that he ceases to pose with masks... (J.v.d. Wetering)
"Do you think the tent could pollute the Buddhist dogma (see dogmas and fascism etc. - d.48)", asked Roshi? My body, consisting of air, water, fire and earth is "dust" - For years it had, in its incredible complexity, done its work, but then some microbes are causing an irreparable imbalance, or a bullet or a knife has destroyed a vital organ, or there are grown cancer cells, or do I have it hung in a fit of termination weariness. What ever has also happened, the body no longer works. - The act of physical death is completed. What now? - There are many small ends, there are no large ends...
If the Dalai Lama smiles - the seals are barking on my coast. This is a "koan"...
A polar bear farts, sparrows fall from the roof in Kyoto (this implies to me that all living beings are connected etc. - d.48)...
We have invented another, we have seen each other wrong, we just made each other ideas that are not real. So what is real? Probably, Hume guessed - nothing! Perhaps only a void, "the void", which contains our ideas is real... (D. Hume, 1711 – 1776)
When he (Hume) died of cancer at the age of 65 years, he wrote to his friends cheerfully "I anticipate a speedy resolution now. - If a man dies of my age, he only missed a few years of sickly infirmity...
"What do you want to be"? - "I want to be nothing Great-grandfather" - "Are you lucky, my dear, you are it already"... (Hakuin)
As long as I continued to believe in values, I was doomed, God, gods, creators, parents, authorities, even "Roshi and Sensei" gave me the blame, - for what I thought was not "right"... (Jvd Wetering)
Happiness is for the lucky ones. There is no merit in it. - "Are you one of God’s errors or is God one of yours?"...
Life is of no intrinsic value, and it also doesn’t lack it, it is only man who insists to assess life... (F. Nietzsche, 1876)
Even if a Holocaust is so terrible that we are tempted to shout "God is dead" (see "the king is dead", etc. - d.48), we will create "him" again in another form - because we can not bear to live without an ego-structure...
The sky welcomes all slaves – losers for just now...
We are wasting no time trying to be moral or immoral. Let us just be! - Amorality produces considerate,
friendly natures...
It is the rule, to invite each other to dinner - rather than open fire to the tiny silhouette...
"Have you eaten yet, stranger?"...
“Only the daily life”, said Baba. “Plus a little mindfulness,” ...
I told him that his sexual desire, frustrated at first, later perverted,
helped to ruin the Buddhist center where I had studied... (Jvd Wetering)
The greatest events - these are not our noisiest, but our quietest hours... (F. Nietzsche)
