Interpretation of dali48
To this end, let something go - for a moment from which
you think that you deserve it, for example something that
you enjoy doing, something that you like or think is
important. Examine it again and again, until you realize
how fleeting it is. Then you will say to you at some point:
"I don't need it I can do without it." - This is the moment of
truth...
Persistent irritation: We are constantly under the fire of all
those things and phenomena, which we:
1st hear - 2nd see - 3rd smell - 4th taste - 5th touch - and
6th think...
Buddha could clearly see every moment of suffering for all
beings, because they seek and adhere...
Luck is no accident. Nor is it dependent on external
conditions. And peace is not a piece of paper, not a treaty
that would sign the UN. Peace is always state of being, an
internal standard of living, which is based on...
We need not worry about what will happen after death,
perhaps with us. Better we take care of the Now and to the
moment of death...
But we can only learn if we give it all up, one by one - Every
day a little something...
Only when we learn something new, we have used the day
for the cause for which it was given us...
The breakthrough for wisdom (see Nirvana, etc. - d.48),
which is the only purpose of our lives. - Every day is our life...
(Ayya Khema)

21.01.2014 - Native Americans & life on the reservation and Karl May etc. by dali48
dali48 and private tuition and writing books and photographing our pet Niki in Erkrath till 5/2010
Interpretation of dali48
Who are they, the descendants of Native Americans? - The
photographer Eric Klemm traveled through North America
for a year and sought an answer, - 25000 kilometers by car
and plane from Alaska to New Mexico in the American South:
EK photographed the descendants of the native
Indians of more than 120 tribes. His portraits speak of
deep sadness, but also of hope. For ARTE programs
focusing on "the Indian country," ARTE magazine talked to
the photographer about his impressions...
ARTE: Mr. Klemm, do you like Karl May?
Eric Klemm: Of course I have read him as a child, and was
impressed. When I emigrated to Canada, I suddenly had
contact with real natives. Then I thought back again to
Winnetou and Old Shatterhand. But Karl May was a
dreamer. - What he wrote was true, perhaps long ago.
Today, American Indians are America's Sinti and Roma:
they are oppressed and discriminated, with no money, no
job, often without native land, homeless
(see 3-5 € per day for the poorest by the richest people etc. - d.48)...
ARTE: What is the life on the reservation?
EC: Reserves are the saddest places I've ever seen. You
need to imagine them like run-down council estates.
Governments have taken the land of the Indians with
beautiful forests and rivers, and gave them some tiny
insignificant area instead, and put on miserable little
houses. Indians are very tightly connected to their home
country (see e.g. honey-bees etc. - d.48)...
Each tree is important to them. - The reserves have never
filled with life, because Indians are miserable there. I once
met an old man, who said: "I'd rather live on the streets
than on the reservation." - That says it all... (ARTE, 2 / 2010)
