Is Dharma Directing Us ? / 8150 Story
By writing this I might be punished though, as Buddha himself said to have prohibited
(in one of the earliest Scripture which was apparently written down from the memories of his words) saying, Never show off, Never show any Miracle or Magic.
Miracle mean a kind of phenomenon demonstrating a super natural power. —– Though, my parents had been giving the advises to the others, predicting what would happen over them and advising what to prepare.—— Incredibly those predictions were so accurate, and even a MP had been asking the advice such as the result of the Election, when my mother told, it will succeed, he succeeded and told, it will fail, he lost the seat of the Parliament. ——Funnily enough, they didn’t use this practice to predict like a lottery win saying, it will not work to anything for an own gain as it got be done in absolute selfless state, its only works to help others. The prediction to my exams of the Hi-school and Universities were all spot on. Still I thought it is a mambo-jumbo and it driven me to the science and technology side where everything is visible and logical.

After left Japan I didn’t communicate with my family 2 years, drifting east to west following the wind, as I thought I was a free agent. Though, when I happened to return Japan, and heard from my brother ( who believed, I was already dead ) that my mother did know and told him, time to time, where I was and doing what, with incredible accuracy, I was utterly horrified, as somebody is watching from above and know everything, even reaching to the other side of the world,
we are inside of the Shakyamuni’s palm, we can never been a free agent.
——————–
Even though demonstrating those powers, it seemed my parents were not punished.
So, it would be safe to tell even my story. —–(Still, if this blog suddenly stopped, you know I was dead) Though, my stories together with so much so FACT, could still be a sheer coincidence, as it couldn’t be replicated or statistically scrutinized, since the life is only once and couldn’t repeat the same again though, in order to avoid any doubt I’ve been keeping all the facts with the original exhibits. 🙂
——————–
As I wrote before, this Blog started in the chain of sheer coincidences, I realized it must be directed by the power over there, which the Buddhist call Dharma. I thought, this might be the time I should write about what I found in the Buddhism.
But in the same time I had a hidden hope, as the nature of the Internet, I may able to ask the reader who practicing Zen, to report me their opinion if they too witnessing the same phenomenon, which may prove in numbers of facts, that the Dharma is indeed there and working.

To my fellow Zenist.
Please look around your life and check the numbers where ever they appeared.
Bank account, Card No’ Phone No’ Friend’s Phone No’ even a No’ on a shopping Receipt, etc etc. Is there any pattern of the combination of numbers repeated ? Such as in my case, they are the 8150 but in any order, like 8510, 5801- – – – all 24 combinations.
For instance,
* My Bank Account is; 0518xxxx
* My Transport Pass: xxxx1508xxxxx
* Voda Phone Topup Card; xxxxxx0185 xxxxx
* My subscription number of Electronics Magazine Elektor is 118056
* When I wanted to buy DSLR, I noticed the Post Code of Canon Japan is 146-8051
And the Lens No’ of the Macro lens I bought together is 41805 – – –
* And an Electronic Component Manufacturer ALPS who I’ve kept using as they are
pretty close to my family home, their Post Code is 145-8051
* A Japano-Brazilian guy who stayed in my place before he went to Japan.
He sent me a letter from Iga-City which Post Code was 5180834
* When I needed to buy a Printer, Epson R300, I found the Algos Catalog No’ having this 8150, so instead I bought Canon, then I found the Box sorting Code of this Printer was 5108
– – – – – – – – I can continue this even hundreds more.
(Since I found the production No’ 1058- – – – – on the sugar packet, I reduced its intake to a half) 😀
——————–
This number follows me where ever I go.
——( I’m not necessary feel comfortable, it’s a real Big Brother )
It is not simply a good or bad Omen though, it may indicate ” I need a lot to do with this, Be careful.”
I have number of friends who got this in Phone No’—-they are very good friend and having contact many years and I’m keep giving advise, still never too close, and strangely they are all left over f the group once I was associated with (such as the art group).
———- So far I never found any another set of the number repeatedly appear as a pattern.
——————–
A man who said to be a Numerologist saw this number and told me
” In Japanese reading [ 8150 ] can be pronounced as Ha-I-Go-Rei 背後霊——Its mean The Spirit Behind.
Spirit is communicating you”—–m m m, Sound pretty spooky !—–(you can search < Haigorei > in the Net)
———I wondered, am I obsessed, or Nuts ? But I didn’t choose the Number, they just came and happened.
The local Iceland shop having their shop code 0158 —–if it was the case, it seems Dharma did know that I’m moving into this town before I did. ——–Yet still, can such things exist ? Or is this happening to anybody who is living selflessly ?
If this is the case, The Dharma is with us or we can not escape, as we are the part of it.
———-
So, if anyone noticed the same kind of phenomenon in your life please tell me.
(Of cause, it doesn’t necessary to be a number game, could be anything peculiar caught in your eyes, as Buddha found this Dharma without seeing Phone No’ Account No’ there must be another clue) Of cause, the one would say “Dharma is on front of you, To see it, is the matter of your eyes”
———- though it wouldn’t make the very answer.
———–
PS : In addition, I put two more very clear cases happened since after I put this post.

I am a former Royal Marine, and combat veteran. Of course my model for law/truth (Dharma) is within the providence of the Judeo-Christian God and His revelation, and His Catholic Church. I have seen some of God’s “phenomenon”. I call it mercy and grace!
Since the Incarnation of Christ, I must seek to respect “your” way, at least for you. God is also sovereign.
Oh, sound some what familiar. Long time ago I gave a private tuition of technical Japanese to the Naval Commander Pike who was going to go to British Consulate in Tokyo as a Naval Attache. (Here hundred of Japanese teachers but non got knowledge of technology in defence system) So, I visited Sorrent many times.
Any how, apart from my back ground, my Zen or most of the insight toward the religion / spirituality are acquired by DIY 🙂 Just by the observation. Therefore I do not pay too much attention or respect who repeat the words from the book. Thankfully I acquired the skill to sniff out the personality who is genuine or not. The book may give eloquency but the eyes and ears to catch providence only came from the experience in the extreme situation, so it might have given you the eyes. —–though Buddhist may say don’t trust eyes. Ha Ha Ha 🙂
As a matter of the fact I’m not living with Dharma, I’m just living, that’s all. As I don’t ask at all (or even don’t remember how to ask ) it seems the Dharma came and knocking the door to make sure I’m still alive. Ha Ha Ha 😀 Yoshizen
Aha, as I’ve typed a reply into my Email box the above, it came out as kinetorori.
yet its the same person 😀
Yoshizen
PS: the post ” Is Dharma—” is in fact the half of it and rest may appears later.
(as one finger typist, I’m bit tired of watching screen)
The above is what I observed on my experience. And so far it is working like that.
I didn’t get ill (after 30+ years stay in this country I still don’t have GP), I didn’t get injured despite
of up to 10m free fall on the rock climbing.
But, it could be just a coincidence or I’ve been just lucky.
So, I’m asking another Buddhist, Zenist if this is the common phenomena
among them ——- if it is the case, we can asume, ” it is because of the Buddhism”
or if it is happening only to well practiced Zenist, the degree of Selflessness
might be the point of significance.
my bank acct number: ****0815 😀
Oh, C’mon. If you have this number before we met, it was the sign, our encounter
was predestined. Anyhow, it is the indication of our friendship having rather crucial significance. ( When you discovered this, you must be shocked, Oh no ! 😀 )
Yoshizen,
This is my only bank account number and got it 10 years ago when I came to UK. Dharma separated us for at least 5 years – I think I first saw you in 2005-2006 at Dorkbot 😉
How fascinating ! Or, it’s almost spooky.
Yes, I know, this kind of phenomenon do exist.
Some of the people has predestined and to come together.
Chinese old story ” Water Margine ” and even a Japanese Manga ” Aquira ” are using
this for the basis of their story. But this is not in fantasy, this is real one.
Are we going to change the world or are we going to compete each other ?
See what will happen and find what the Dharma intended to signify in here.
