04.10.2000 – Interpretation of dali48 + update
One in two 65-year-old men is already suffering from a cardiovascular disease (No. 1 cause of death = 50%)! - It is connected with low incomes and poor housing and working conditions! - The heart beats from birth to death about 2.500.000.000 times! - About 9000 liters of blood are pumped daily into the veins! - Risk factors are: smoking, hypertension, occupational stress, high blood lipids (cholesterol) and obesity etc.! ... 
What are the big 3 cardiovascular diseases? - High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol & Diabetes.
Causes of hypertension are: side effects of medications (glucocorticoids, pills, estrogen, etc), alcohol abuse, too much salt, obesity, physical inactivity, occupational stress (see also private stress etc. - d.48), smoking, disease (kidney, hormones etc.)! ...
Treatment: adequate sleep, elimination of excessive demands, physical activity, endurance training, low-salt food etc.! ... 

The human body is 50-70% water! - Every day, take about 2.5 liters of water to yourself! ...
How to drink water correctly? - Feeling thirsty is a sign that the body is dehydrated. Drink water before you feel thirsty. You should drink a small amount of water many times a day, and drink 100-200ml of water every time. Drink one glass of water in the morning and evening respectively, and drink water every 1-2 hours in the rest of the day.28.10.2022
When the body absorbs too much liquid and is not eliminating enough, edema (fluid retention resulting in tissue) can result! - This may be accompanied by high blood pressure and weight gain! - Edema can be caused by disorders of the kidneys, heart, liver or drugs (phenylbutazone, etc.)! ...Therapy: physical rest and low-salt diet! ... 
Angina pectoris (severe pain around the heart): A lot of rest and relaxation, reduction of overweight, no heavy meals, no smoking! - Avoidance of stress, sudden effort, severe temperature changes! - In heart failure (see e.g. shortness of breath etc. - d.48) helps: Foxglove (Digitalis), physical protection, low-salt diet, diuretics (see water, tea etc. - d.48)! ...
The older a person gets, the more "calcified" are the blood vessels! - They lose their elasticity, harden and become narrow! - This can lead to hypertension, stroke, heart attack and kidney disease! - Main cause of atherosclerosis is a too high proportion of fat in the blood (cholesterol), etc.! ... (K. Langbein, Bitter Pills)

And as kidney disease progresses, you may notice the following symptoms. Nausea and vomiting, muscle cramps, loss of appetite, swelling via feet and ankles, dry, itchy skin, shortness of breath, trouble sleeping, urinating either too much or too little.06.09.2023

01.10.2000 - Interpretation of dali48 + update
His ability to cause and tolerate no surprises have meant that he was responsible for the timetable in a rather large Zen Center! ...
And how are you? - This I would even like to know! ... "Stick to the doubt", said my wife. "I rather like a man like that" ... 
Who exercises true asceticism isn’t flying to Nirvana. - The monk who breaks the commandments doesn’t slide in hell! ... 
The verb "Buddhist" means "know"! ... The heavy exam to see 60 saints out of control, had broken his spirit. - He had a nervous breakdown! ... (J.v.d. Wetering)
Madness helps us to find our true nature!... (C. G. Jung)
Bobbie-san had this little breakdown in the hotel in Tokyo, this happens to the best saints. - Listen to your superior. Stay true to tradition. Carry your Zen Bib, and shave your skull. - Sing the sutras ... This dog (see our cat Niki, etc. - d.48) is really something of the Buddha-nature! - The first understanding society in my life! - Samsara (illusion) is Nirvana (beatific annihilation). - I don't write this, and you can not read this. Nothing has happened. - Nothing is important anymore. - There is no tomorrow (illusion), yesterday has not occurred. - Who understands this fundamental truth can sit and laugh at the roadside, - as the Chinese "laughing Buddha" - during raging in front of his eyes, war, starving children and dogs that are beaten up, etc.! ...

The Zen monk who became the Laughing Buddha - Cloth Bag was the nickname of a Chinese Buddhist monk who lived in the 10th century. He belonged to the Zen school of Buddhism, which is known for its stories about monks who reject conventional pursuits like wealth and fame.19.08.2024

If an honest man teaches a false doctrine, false doctrine is true, - if a dishonest person submits a true doctrine, it is wrong (? etc. - d.48)! ... (Joshu = Chao-chou, 778 to 897)
Certainly we know now what's going on. - How many times we have reincarnated us and haven’t still understood it? - "Where is the mountain of enlightenment"? - "Straight ahead, my dear." - Let's stay in motion? - Do we live our lives? - Let's make the best use of the particular circumstances that arise by chance? - No, we're sitting there, encourage us to see us desperately looking for a confirmation to ensure that apart from going straight on, our ego-existence is of a considerable value. - What value could be out of nothing? ...
How can we hope to accept the meaninglessness of our empty egos? - We go straight on without taking care of "Tea Ladies" ...
Fear was foreign to Zen students. - Not caring for career, future, possession, wife or sweetheart, young, old parents, spiritual status, Zen followers related all their energy doing the right things under all circumstances, and not worrying about the result. - Nothing was sacred! -
If it's a "shit" for you, it's not important. - This does not mean that you need not do it! ...
I have also given up most things. - The most realistic people have done it. - That there is nothing that we should hold on, either we know that at our age, - or we try to be crazy! ... (J.v.d. Wetering)

Janwillem van de Wetering

De lege spiegel. De Driehoek, Amsterdam 1972. Englische Ausgabe: The Empty Mirror. Routledge & Kegan Paul, London 1973; Deutsche Ausgabe: Der leere Spiegel ...

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)

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)

The Gateless Barrier

The Gateless Gate is a collection of 48 Chan (Zen) koans compiled in the early 13th century by the Chinese Zen master Wumen Huikai.
