The very drop of nectar in DIAMOND SUTRA

"Stick nowhere to your thoughts,is the attitude of having your thoughts"~~Buddha
I invite my brethrens of Spirituality to sip & savour tis very depth of Buddha's wisdom. The 6th Zen Master Hui Neng,attained his enlightenment while heard of this quote told by his master.
In Mahayana Zen, Zen people not only know tht :I am not my thoughts (in contrast wth 'I think,therefore i am'), but they r even of the view that thoughts are 1 of the greatest gifts & truths of the universe.Hence,they use it carefully & briskly,as the way they use the wooden bowl during their breakfast.But if the bowl droped and is broken.Without even a sigh & remorse,they will just make a new 1 for their lunch.
Ancient zen people had diluted d truth into daily activities without being torn by d mind of duality.
After d death of D.T. Tsuzuki,not much of attention was drawn to this gist of the gr8 scripture in english language.
May this seed of wisdom sown on your fertile land of consciousness.~~wth metta

Evening break

A cup of tea

A coil of sandal wood incense

Burning before the quaint scripture of Zen

I peruse slowly..

and Time starts settling down..

to the moment where my breathing

ceased at my heart..

While d sun on its way back..

The enchantin scene had me speechless for quite a long time...

Sign of Taichi

Jung & Ancient Taoist sign

2009-09-11T07:44:00.000-07:00

Im readin bout C.G. Jung. Jung said tht a woman nature(Eros) & a man 1(Logos) exist in us, n it is important 4 us 2 harmonise them instead of lettin 1 manupulating d other.

The ancient Taoist said d same somehow, but taoist didnot like complexity of logics so they reduced it in2 a picturial sign.

I like tis simply sign tht tells d gr8 universal truth. & the porportion of Yin(Eros) & Yang(Logos) is just perfect, and is in a circular motion,tht which i think, is showin us another truth tht d Eros & Logos r definitely not stagnant n stationary.

Ancient Taoist had d same view wth d western psychologist(mystic). Is tht a coincident?

but tht'd be beautiful to belive tht was what Jung called 'syncronicity'..

Spiritual comrade on d path..

Ah Chong, a gr8 spiritual comrade of mine, an Osho follower who does Dynamic Meditation every morning!

Chong smokes like an industrial chimney & tryin his all out effort2 meditate whenever he remembers.For him, meditatn n his quest of truth is a matter of life n death rather than a pastime or hobby.

He who lives a superb luxurious life even Zorba is jealous of. Retired at d age of early 40,he now lives on a passive income generated frm his savings n real properties. A fulltime meditator whose footprints can be found in mamy monastries thruout Asia, in quest of truth & meetin wth d remarkables..

It is simply too luxurious tht 1 owns both spiritual & material wealth.

God's bias can be found on him :-)

'City-Zenship' 4 those who work like hell

2009-09-08T14:56:00.000-07:00

Just started living in a new city, i have to work more than 12 hours a day right frm 5am to nightime. I was under great stress & fatique for the 1st 2 weeks untill i found the knack of it. During a break in a tirin day, i meditated in my car, when i scaned thru my body wth awareness, i found tht stress r nothin but some tightness of nerves n muscle (especially in our head,eyes and legs ofcoz if u do lots of running like me) which is ,most of the time, unnecessary at all. That is some discovery in my life, hence, i learn to work 'vacationally', i lower down my pace n even put in d element of playfulness n Meditation. The word of 'working' doesnt flash in my mind n cause unnecessary tiredness then. I can see in me, tht stress n tiredness are substancially of the mind n not of physical body.

I remember how luxurous my last campin was when i soaked myself in d jungle stream massaged by d running water...

To encounter wth reality for survival. I can,at least live a Zen-life inside amongst d hustle bustle in d city,i love this 'City-Zenship'..

Thus have i seen,

Colourful stones laying peacefully in d bottle..Those who just be, without a purpose of life.

The process itself is d outcome, its destination.

Sun set in Sutera Harbour KK...
