How to Save money ?
In the Net, there are hundreds of life’s advice kind of site.
How to maintain good relation or before it, how to start, or where to find the mate.
The advice from a very experienced mature person to a very young person saying
how and why she or he was attracted to what sort of the person etc etc.
(In most of the case, the advice was not more than a good common sense.)
An advice which took my eyes was how to save the money, by not to reduce
the spending but simply just stop to buy it altogether. I guess, the woman who was
advising must be saying it from her hundreds of failed experiences. In certain sense,
it is a simple commonsense though, when the matter involving was a person’s desire
or the habit, it’s easy to see, common sense may not necessary works.
When someone drinks, the person may not counting the number of glasses — but
just want only one more glass. So, to attempt to save a money by reducing the
consumption could be a hardest to achieve.
I’m not knowledgeable of this kind though =is there such deal viable to negotiate
with a prostitute if a half of insertion could save her charge half ? May be not. 🙂
Saving the money is not a matter of economics or a business management but
it is the very trouble of the MIND.
That advice in the Net, “Stop to buy it completely” is in fact parallel to the Zen.
Zen works on the base of All or Nothing because of it is either in Mindful otherwise
it is not exists. — In our mind, if the mind of Drink was there, the Drink is there.
= you can’t have “Half mind of Drink” same as a half of the Drug or a half of the Sex.
As long as a Receptacle of the Drink, Drug, Sex is in the Mind, we can’t stop to take it.
But once such mind was removed = ie; the receptacle was not there, we couldn’t
recognize “What the Drink is” “What the Drug is” or an image of a woman
couldn’t be connected to the Sex.

The secret of this “Mind Engineering” is, how to train our Mind = make the
signal jump over the Emotional region of the brain in the Limbic System
which is dealing with Desire, Greed and Want. To train the Mind, Zen (in fact,
all the Buddhist sects) has the long, repeating practice which ware-out the
Emotion. ( The brain started to ignore the repeating signals and start to
process the signal without involving the Emotion. = such as a sign-board on the
street, became almost invisible, while you are passing on front of it everyday)
Once the person mastered this Mind, the Drink, Drug or Sex become non-existent.
And as the Mind will just pass the signal without triggering any reaction =
“Drink ? — What’s drink ?” “Woman ? — Yes, I can see it’s a woman. So, what ?”
Give-up altogether or stop to buy, is much easier than “Reducing its consumption”
because there is no conflict of “Want” and “Shouldn’t” in the Mind.
(And the most funny things was, once the person mastered this Mind-set, he or she
could pick-up a glass without a hindrance but never take more than a sip, because of
there is no desire or attachment NEITHER the Mind of Prohibition or Restriction.)
And this is the best way to save the money and to have a trouble free life. 🙂

I once went to a prostitute but the whole experience was miserable because she wasn’t enjoying it, she was doing for the sake of doing it and she was quite rude in how she was responding to my touches. In this situation, I lost my capability. I told her maam since you are not enjoying me, I am unable to stay up. But this money I gave you is tough for me to earn so if you could please consider giving some back I would be grateful. The lady actually gave me half the money back! was quite a zen experience for me. It taught me anything is possible, including refund from a prostitute 😀
I’m not sure whether it had anything to do with Zen. 😀
On my old experiences, I met the ladies who didn’t take money at all.
So, I went back to the same place with gift and the sweets next day.
What I learned was, despite having totally different kind of the life,
yet as the same human being we could still be a good friend.
