Smashed Camera and the Face !
Only yesterday, I managed to stumble on a curb stone and smashed myself on a concrete
car-park.—– Unfortunately, my camera was on my shoulder hence,
the camera was smashed too.
I was landed on the concrete, over my specks apparently fallen before me, hence one of the lens
cut into my forehead. I was amburanced to a hospital and my face was stitched and patched up. 🙂
The hospital’s handling of my case was what we know well = I was left waited more than two hours
still bleeding yet just sitting on a bench. (While waiting, blood pressure etc were taken by nurses)
Then I noticed, despite of my camera being smashed and the view screen was shuttered, yet
amazingly it was still functioning, even more of my amazement, a Zoom lens fitted on the camera
= Canon’s 8~15 mm F4 Fish-eye lens was still working perfect ! ! !
(with its fragile movable structure, Zoom lens couldn’t survive this kind of shock = this is the
exceptional case ! = May be Canon designed it for the photographers with rough
and tumble in mind 😀 = Anyhow it was a good news in a bad situation 🙂
ERA[]
On my life, I don’t have accident or should I say only seldom = On the Ski, I’ve
broken 3 Skies but never broken any bone or heavily cut myself.
On the climbing, I’ve fallen 10m and about 5m —– still always landed on my rucksack hence never
injured. (other small falls were the nature in the climb 😀 ) Therefore, I had no experience of the
hospital, except the one when I was attacked and hospitalized in 24 hours coma and woke-up there.
So that this occasion was a rare chance to observe all the people involved = local people who saw me
fall was very kind and as he saw the gushed blood, called the ambulance at once.
The ambulance people were very professional (got to be) and I was taken to the hospital in 5 min
drive. —– (then long long waiting started while seeing another patient such as a lady mugged and
injured and so on) —– on the end, the Nurse and the Doctor did very good job to find out the
broken glasses in the cut (down to the skull !) and stitched it up.
—– And, I walked back 15 min to my place in the middle of night = 7 hours after the accident.
[]
As far as I know, the Zen mind should have an Hyper Vision in such case = when I fell
on the rock, I saw the slow moving details of the rock and the surrounding view.
When my ski caught the tree under the snow and my body was flying forward in the air,
I saw my body in a slow-motion. —– though, in this occasion, I only found myself laying on
the ground = there was a kind of lapse of the time = it seemed to have a jump of memory.
—– Why I couldn’t have seen my falling body nor able to take Ukemi (受身 / Safer
bodily movement to reduce the impact when falling to the ground).
(Bruise on both of my back hands indicates that the hands instinctively moved to protect myself
though, why didn’t hit the ground palm first, as an Ukemi. ? ) = May be, the Hyper Vision could
have happened only the moment when the Mind was in a fully alerted state, not in an
absent minded casual situation = after 30 years, I still have a moment of absent-minded or lapse
of my mindfulness. —– Or, I must be getting old and getting rotten. 😀
It’s mean, should I look for the protective gear of mountain biker or even a walking frame ?
(May be not a coffin yet) Ha ha ha 😀

Yet again, Higgs Boson and the Buddhism
———————————————————————————————————————- (Image from CEAN)
Behind the any Physical Phenomenon there is always Physics
(that’s why it’s was called so :-)) and LED is one of literally very visible sample.
= When particular material was stimulated by electric current, it start to vibrate (in Atomic level)
and start to emit the Photon. As its frequency of the vibration (which depends on which material
and resonating structure) is happen to be the frequency of a visible light, we see the colored light.
= Voilà this is a Light Emitting Diode !
(Another material gives off different frequency, such as invisible infra-red = We call them not LED
but Infra-red Emitter. — One of them called Gan Diode gives much lower frequency, in a
Microwave range which can stimulates the water molecules hence heat up them = so, they were
used in a Microwave Cooker to heat up our meal. :-))
[]
LED will work only one Polarity hence it called Semiconductor. Yet another material
which conductivity is not high like Silver or Copper = having high resistance (like Nickel-Chrome
Iron alloy), it convert the electric energy to an heat (and emits / radiates red to infra-red lay)
which ever the polarity = they are not Semiconductor hence “good old red-hot room heater” can
be connected to AC main (Alternative Current) = Polarities change 50~60 times in a second
(so that, heater can work on DC as well, such as the one in a car. :-))
[]
In the Buddhist’s term, the existences of those materials and its structures, and how
they are functioning and interact each other = the system and its governing law of
physics are called Dharma.
When a stimulant such as Electric energy causes the material to vibrates and start to emit the
photon = those relation, cause and the result are called Karma and a part of the Dharma.
—– So, to say the Dharma is the fundamental existences and its system default, and
the Karma is a variable given, which causes and starts the chain of reactions.
(So that, unless you switch on a LED, it wouldn’t light up, even if the system = the materials and
the structure, such as thin layer of Gallium Nitrate on a Ruby crystal is there).
[]
We human being often misunderstood that those technological inventions are solely “created” by the
human ingenuity though, it is utterly wrong, they are still within the Dharma and precisely following
the rules. = we are only utilizing its inherent character and maximizing the effect.
= We might have seen a back of a gang-star Al Capone in a bar, down town of Chicago for few seconds
= few second does not mean he exist only few seconds = he is still there out of our view.
[]
The scientists in CERN had glimpse of the Boson by paying so much high price for a ticket
= 1.4Tv (1.4Tela Volt given to the coil = the higher the voltage, magnetic field created has
stronger push to the Proton Particle) acceleration and smashed them together
= resulted to see the artifact of Boson. (yes, only the Artifact = If you believe, it’s there 🙂 )
= Does the Boson exists only in such condition ? —– A virus might have seen under an expensive
electron microscope, it isn’t necessary they only exists in a chamber of microscope = without
microscope’s image, they still exists. 😀
If the Boson isn’t exists, all the Particle couldn’t have their Mass = No gravity to
bound them together = World would be just disintegrated and disappear 😀
Trouble is, we = who could be a witness, are also made-up by those particles = we disappear too.
= The effect to have the same Dharma inside of us.
[]
I wouldn’t pretend to understand this level of Nuclear Physics, neither able to guess how
Peter Higgs could predict it on the paper, the existence of Higgs’ Boson which gives the mass to all
the particles should be there yet to be discovered !
—– So, we said to have all the elements of the Standard Model completed. —– ? ? ?
= Does it makes any difference over my life ? —– I don’t think so.
Even if the Standard Model is the ultimate truth, which is governing our existences, it wouldn’t make
any differences for me from a fantasy, useless delusion (sorry, scientists = you were payed to do the
research but I wasn’t = I have no reason to jump and dance with it’s discovery. 😀 )
Even Lord Buddha did ignored such details of the Dharma and left it unknowable.
= Even without having such knowledges, we know, we were still entwined with the Dharma.
= Still the matter for us is how to live the life in the every days front.
= I wouldn’t expect to see Boson in a super market and cook it for tonight’s soup.
Do you aware, the inside of an Apple, it has Boson = without it, it hadn’t fall to the ground hence
Newton couldn’t find the Gravity —– it must be true. Believe me.
Ha ha ha 😀

No Sake, neither Garlic ! —– Why not ?
My friend in Japan showed this photo in his blog while describing
scorching hot day over there.
What photographed was a stone-post = regular feature of a Buddhist
temple gate, which says “Kun-shu San-mon ni iru wo yurusazu”
(不許葷酒入山門 = Sake / Alcoholic drink and Garlic kind are forbidden
to be brought in) = It is the notice of the Rules from the Pali Canon,
that the Buddhists have to keep away from the evil acts.
—– Drink Alcohol and eating smelly food typically the Garlic, are
forbidden in the temple —– It is a formal pretense 😀
[]
Despite the Garlic has been long eaten and even used as an herbal medicine (use it
as a poultice to an inflammation = very potent stimulant for blood circulation)
only its pungent smell is its unfortunate nature 😀
—– The hard-core austere in the Tantra Buddhist sect, Gyo-ja (行者) regards Garlic as a potent
medicine (hence, wild Garlic was called Gyo-ja Nin-niku ) to enable him to achieve hard practice in
the mountain. (— so I heard = I haven’t established it with [with and without] kind of objective
repeated research. 🙂 ) — What-so-ever, everybody knows, Garlic is pretty good for our health.
—– So that, may be a smell of the Garlic is a mere pretext, real intention was to
prevent a monk gains his potency and become sexually active. 😀
[]
But funny facts are, even the time of strict Shogun era, the Sake was drunk in a temple only with
the name of Han-nya-tou /般若湯 (Drink of highest wisdom 😀 ) and the wife of the Priest was
called Dai-koku sama / 大黒様 (the name of a divine figure — but in Taoism). = a lots of excuse.
[]
There are interesting parallel between Hinayana Buddhism and Confucianism,
Mahayana Buddhism and Taoism (Laoze).
Both Hinayana and Confucianism set an ideal personality of a man and apply it
with the Rules of Do and Do not. (= So, Garlic smelled Monk is not very ideal. 😀 )
In comparison, both Mahayana and Laoze says “ Be Natural” = keep away
intentional thinking or imaginary Rules, but live natural and never over do.
(So that, garlic is naturally smelly = What’s wrong with it. Unless you eat tons of it. 😀 )
Counting Lord Buddha’s teachings in its surface, it could make hundreds of Do and Do not, such
as him in deed forsaken his family and the wife and became a Bhikku. = hence the follower could
copy it = live with no family, no woman etc though, —– think the context of the teachings,
Lord Buddha never accused, or forced anyone to forsake the wife and the child, but simply
pointed out, the Life IS in Samsara = accepted the difficulties to live with family as the default.
Hence, Mahayana accepted the inherent nature of the Life as Karma. (Try to
impose “ideal type” is just an useless delusion. Better live in Mushin, as it is.)
(We are born to suffer with the trouble of woman. = It’s a part of joy. Ha ha ha 😀 )
[]
So, don’t hesitate to eat Garlic. As long as everybody in the family or anybody
near you eat it in the same time, the smell wouldn’t cause any trouble.
And be healthy, fulfilling your potential = make your wife satisfied. Ha ha ha 😀
( Don’t worry this is the Mahayana Buddhism = believe me 🙂 )

DIY or Expect Others to Do it for You ?
Somebody asked me “ How I could cut a plastic jar (in Lens Cap post = link here)
so clean and precise”. —– well, there was a bit of preparation to do it which you
can see in the photo I’ve took on the time.
When you cut or chisel the material, there is a rule [Firmly fix either the tool or the material].
Even to peel a skin of an apple by a knife, there is a knack,
“It got firmly hold the knife and only rotates the Apple, not other-way round”.
Therefore, to cut the plastic jar, a sharp blade was fixed on the flat board by a G-clamp
(hight was adjusted by something such as aluminum bar etc under the blade which got
suitable thickness) and plastic jar was rotated on the flat base while pressing against
the blade. (while rotates it, never wobble and rotates many times
= cut it gradually deeper)
This principle is always the same = cut a pipe or bar using a hacksaw, fix the material or object
on a vice clamp. When drilling a hole = only the drill bit moves but not the material.
On a Lathe Machine or Wood-turning Lathe, only the material rotates and the cutting-bite which
was fixed to the machine, moves slowly while having the position precisely controlled.
[]
In a hind sight, I was lucky to grown-up in Japan where everything had been burnt
down and had nothing else of the abandoned field with wild flowers and insects.
Having no ready-made toys, we had to improvise or make our own toys. And in the
magazines, there was a lots of article of “How to Make Something by Ourself.”
—– Grown-up was literally meant to know How to Do = not just
to know the names and words.
[]
Do It Yourself mean, to learn the material, and to know and having the control
of all the process, and to take a responsibility for the result = no one else there to
take a blame but oneself.
—– in this aspect, I really pities the kids and the grown-up version of those kids = young peoples
of today = while growing up with a toy bought by somebody-else’s (parent’s) money, without
knowing how it’s works, let alone how it was made, and only know to buy another one, or blame
somebody-else, such as the manufacturer, when it was broken. No idea of how to repair it.
[]
This utterly irresponsible, only expecting to others to do, mentality is the
fundamental problem of the whole society today.
Without knowing whole system, but only know to press a button (like a game-machine), and handling
even a financial operation, just for a short-eye-sighted gain, only on his narrow scope of speculation
= then end-up to pile-up uncontrollable amount of debts = yet still expecting somebody-else
(IMF etc) to bail-out their problem. —– (But, where the money of IMF come from ?)
A system having no feed-back and built-in self regulating mechanism,
it can not be called a system.
[]
Still amazing things are, the people are flocking to buy share of FACEBOOK,
while speculating it would grow and creates big profit. But the reason why F’ is
floating their share in this moment is, that they realized no more growth in
a sale of AD business = This is the last opportunity they can fool the people.
GM has already stopped to advertise in F’ since it didn’t sell their car.
And as majority of the F’ user were shifted to see F’ in their Smart-phone,
= who want to see an obstructive AD in their small screen ?
This is the typical sample of “Greed blind the people” 😀
Where the money to fill their Greed come from ? = are they still expecting
somebody else to create the money and give to them ? Because of it is nothing
certain, F’ is doing it somebody else’s money. ( Sell the Share to public) ! 😀

Heaven’s Thunder to New French President Holland
When I heard the story how New French President Holland was treated with a heavy
rain and the thunders, I burst into laughing with my own memory.
When I was in Japan, I had ill-fated marriage —– I’ve married when I was 22 years, still in my Uni’.
In fact, everything had just carried out but not necessary in my control. My parent’s prediction was,
“ The inevitable separation is there, it’s mean, the best time for it is, now ” though, it was too late.
= hence, marriage process went on as it was expected in the traditional custom in a formalized way.
[]
A sort of resistance to prevent the notorieties and the old members of wife’s family (bit too traditional,
big clan’s) coming to the wedding, I planed its party in a mountain top Hut, which was a sister Hut of
the mountain shelter where I was a voluntary keeper since I was 15 (= first year in a High School).
Wedding ceremony was conducted in a big Shinto Shrine, Suwa-taisha (諏訪大社), and we drove up
mountain hi-way with 10 of the cars. Then we started to climb to the top, on foot for 15 min’ walk.
—– It was a beautiful blue sky though, utterly out of blue, while we were in the middle of climb,
suddenly big cloud appeared sky above, and started a heavy torrential rain.
I run up to the Hut and grubbed all umbrellas and back to the guests of party though, it was such a
heavy shower, everybody, include my Mother, the Best-man (my Professor in Sociology), and
the staffs from Makino Harbarium, members of the Alpine Club and old mates, all got soaked down
to their undies. When everybody reached to the Hut (and everybody changed to their pyjama) the
rain stopped and back to the blue sky. How beautiful.
[]The word of my Mother was “ Oh dear, this is what the Heaven is telling you”.
—– After 7 years, we divorced and I left Japan. And I’m still single. (how peaceful 😀 )
—– It could be just a sheer coincidence, yet still, there could be something.
When our Emperor Hirohito departed, the day of his funeral was in the sleet. Even though a day
before, a day after were both fine day. —– I thought “ Oh, even the Heaven cries for him”.
[]
—– You may say “ It’s utterly nuts” and I’ve been saying “ There is no mumbo-jumbo”
though, there are too many strange phenomena in my life, such as [8150 story] (link here) or my
Cat’s stories to name but few. — So, I’m well qualified to make a joke “ Oh, dear, new French
President Holland is going to open the hell” 😀
Good luck for him (to challenge hopelessly impossible task. Apart from attracting the voters
with sweet words while giving a false expectation, actually achieve the growth with no cash left in
the pocket, it’s a hell lots of good luck from the Heaven needed).

Delusion or Common Sense
In a good sense, we human is a very creative people by which it had lead the
advancement of our civilization.
In the same time we are the most deluded creature on the earth.
What is common between creative and deluded is, its thinking process, think beyond the fact
which was known or widely accepted, or believe to be exist, or true.
Our cognition and its assessment of the fact are always following after the event or encounter.
To compensate this time-rug, our judgement is projecting time ahead.
In another word, speculative.
—– When you see a cockroach running on the floor, you wouldn’t hit the place where it WAS, but
look under the bed where it has disappeared. —– and put a cockroach trap expecting if it comes
again, the trap should catch it.
[]
Audiophile is the people who is the most speculative kind of people apart from the delivertive
or commodity trader 😀 —– of cause, they would say, it is not a speculation but
the fact of what their ears hear. Here, fundamental speculation is that they are
believing their ears are correct. —– Once I was an audiophile (in meager scale 😀 ) hence,
I tested Audio-amp, Class A, B, AB etc with different transistor etc. ( On the end, I was convinced
that it would be fruitless attempt which never able to achieve the quality of live music = I decided to
listen the original sound at the original place where the recording was made = so, I came to Europe.)
[]
Time to time, people asking me to repair their audio amp. In most of the case it was a kind,
a professional repairman has forsaken, such as a transistor had been exploded hence the name of
component was lost (and it would be too expensive to ask the maker to give a service, if they still
exist at all, but often not — in such case, analyze the circuit and find what to replace it best)
So, I have ample experiences to see the realities in the audio amp design = how far it is, from
the belief or deluded wishful thinking of the people buying it. = It is a fraud.
( Go too deep into the technical detail is not in an aim of this blog. So, I’ll show a point in a level of
secondary school common sense —– I think you can understand)
——————————————————————————————— (Photo right/ Yellow mark pointing burnt out track )
A photo above is said to be a car audio amp for sub-woofer speaker. Apparently, it was solidly built
hefty amp which is saying 500 W ! — Who believe it ? (obviously a man who bought it did )
To use an audio amp in the car, the power is a car battery which is 12 V.
Every body remember, the Ohm’s Law which I learned in the secondary school Physics, they are
few lines of very simple formula like as [ R x I = V, hence V/I = R and V/R = I ] V=Voltage,
R=Resistance, I=Current. And in addition [ I x V = W ] W=Wat.
(In fact, it is more of the definition. The unit were defined as it is. = from 1 V source, the current
run through 1 Ohm wire was defined as 1 A —- I admire the scientist who measured then).
[]
As a car audio amp, the supply Voltage is 12 V. = To out-put 500 W, the amp needs to draw
500/12 = 42.6 ( A ampere ) —– though, a fuse fitted was mere 15 A.
Assuming, the amp was able to draw 15 A without blowing the fuse. = 12 V x 15 A = 180 W.
—– within safer operation, it may not more than 150 W. Then, to consider the efficiency of any
electric devises, they never be 100 %. In a case of audio amp = every body knows, the amp is
getting quite hot = the power was wasted to make heat = and that was why this amp has such heavy
heat-sink and needed to make it so solid. But this amp is designed rather new Class G like design (but
without having additional power supply line) —– so, the out put power is 120 W in its best.
—– still the person who was using this amp has been enjoying to be a proud owner
of what he believed to be 500 W car audio system.
[]
It is more like a religion. It was out of school level common sense though, is it a matter for him ?
—– Like a people, believing so-called power of crystal with pretty happy feeling, “what is the truth”
may not be a matter for them. Feeling happy might be more important. —– Is it ? ? ?
Pretty picture on a sham-doctor’s beauty potion might give better dream than the truth in reality.
After all, we human is a people living on the dream. Even a placebo effect of false
belief still able to give some positive results. What’s wrong to be deluded ? ? ?
The question is should I tell the truth what is the real power of this Amp ?
Keep him happy or make him wiser ? (Good question ! )

Different Perspective (Cat’s story – 1)
M
M
M
M
M
M
M
————- ( Here, I’m going to put a photo of my cat when I find the old film 😀 )
It is easy to say to others “See it in another perspective”
—– in fact I used this phrase a bit too casually and too often.
Here is a very good sample —– How good is because the situation was seen and handled by
[Totally different view point] = in deed, it was made by a cat.
[]
I used to live with, up to 9 cats. I’ve risen 18 kittens bore out of my Tom and Queen cats.
(In fact those two were also 6 weeks kittens when they came to my place —– and I didn’t know they become
mature in just over 3 months and became pregnant = and every 4 months the queen cat gave a birth of 3 litters,
hence all together 18 kittens).
[]
As I treated those cats just as another person, (simply I don’t know how to treat them as pets) they had
somewhat same freedom like a man. Their only restriction limitation was that they happen to be the cats.
(they became more like a dog character —– Who said, cat is the solitary animal 😀 )
(If you behave and live like their big daddy, and take care of them like daddy does, they think you are the
same kin but just got big body, they keep play like Lion’s cab play with a tail of parents Lion. They are
very playful mischievous creatures. My guess is, neglected left alone cat became solitary sulky cat. 😀
Most of the cat’s owner is believing that be intimate with a cat is hugging them and squeeze them, but cat
hate it = in the nature, they never being hugged. I never hug a cat, but they likes parch on the shoulder.)
[]
When I was hand-writing a draft such as for an article go together with photos. A cat sat on my desk started
to play with a pencil in my hand. Gazing at the pencil almost captivated by its movement, and rose a hand
and waited the moment to strike. And as the pencil was keep moving try to hit though, to capture slippery
pencil was not an easy play for him.
[]
Most of you may react “Hey stop it” and just whack a cat to chase off the desk.
Or, some of you might think “Aha silly cat, mistaking me playing and teasing the cat by moving a pencil”.
In cat’s view, he might have thought “ Oh, my Lord ( me) having a struggle to contain a funny
moving creature. I should help him to fight against it” 😀
So, he was offering side support to a battle with the evil pencil. As he had no animosity toward
the pencil, when I gave the pencil to him, he just examined it to see it is dead, he didn’t do anything further.
If the cat was playing with me, he was making eye contact, but not in this case.
(Some time they do a football with a pencil on the floor and they are very fond of it)
—– of cause it was just a guess and I was not doing any animal behavior research, he just came up to my
desk to see what I’m doing. —– When they need my attention, they knew what to do.
What clear is, even a cat has their own way of thinking but in totally different perspective.
We human should have a bit more flexible thinking proportional to the size of the brain. 😀
[]
Some animal trainer is saying that we need to see the things in their view point, so we need to see the world
from the ground level, looking up though, I’m not telling you to obtain cat’s view.
—– To see the things in different view or perspective in human life. 😀
To start, what we need is [To know how we are imprisoned in our Ego] and egotistic view.
Just feel that the cat is obstructing the writing, is derived from a thought [what I AM doing and its value is
surpassing anything, let alone a cat !] —– is it ? Who, you are ?
[]
When we need to work together or deal with others, to protect your own interest is one thing, but to have the
job done needs the hands of others as well. = It’s mean, others are also thinking to protect their own interest.
Others might be even more desperate in their own situation. It is necessary to see the situation with other’s
view as well and find the common ground. It is not just a compassion to others, if you deprive others, it will
boomerang to you one day, but this is the Karma.
Karma works in much personal level and quite visibly rational way.
[]
In fact, to deal with others or system is comparatively easy in our life because you can see them and it is not
difficult to see what they are up-to or thinking.
An heaviest difficulty in one’s life is when the person has to face the invisible counterpart, Fate.
The situation involved was too big to asses and the number of people coming into the equation were too many
to consider. The force acting those complicated situation may not be a kind of economics or politics but the
huge scale dynamism. It is more likely the dynamism of the Fate = Dharma.
You can’t see the Dharma like a western God, as Dharma has no personified shape or personality =
Character or behavioral tendency. Above all, Dharma has no Ego or Self, hence you can’t exercise inference
like to other human or to negotiate.
[]
If the Dharma has no Ego, you can’t deal with it with your Ego = Only the way to see it, is you
have to see it without your Ego = See it without your Mind = Mind of No-Mind = Mushin.
It is not a matter to tinker or merely shift your view point.
But, completely abandon any view point (in fact, forget everything first, and empty the mind)
= and expose your whole sensory and your invisible perception = use subconscious hunch
===> wait and see. = Suddenly you will see the view or scope which is totally free from your
view point. = This is the Answer. = This is what the Dharma has chosen.
In this way, you can see the situation in much longer term and able to take the measure in much wiser way.
Above all, as you can have much longer perspective, an immediate endurance wouldn’t cause
unnecessary worries as you know the end result will be OK.
This is what we call Peace of Mind.

Realistic Images of Unrealistic Future
There is a pretty comprehensive collection of art works of Futuristic landscape in the Net.
—– Here is one of its Link > http://artprofilesworld.wordpress.com/2012/04/08/
digital-landscapes-3d-future-visions/
As you can see in those images, they are the images of our current knowledge of the technological,
architectural images, when they are linearly scaled-up and pushed to the limit.
Linearly pushed mean, the concept itself doesn’t have [unimaginable leap] though,
I’m not complaining their poor imagination.
As you can see in those images, there is even a hint of
[How these society, colony are surviving and sustained] ? ? ?
[]
Is there any system to harvest solar energy and synthesizing Carbohydrate and Protein
(in simple term Foods to eat) out of the air and the water ?
Can you imagine, the time when the civilization had advanced to such extent = naturally, all
the harvestable natural resources had been excavated to the bottom = naturally, by excavating
such as rare-metal, toxic by-products had polluted the sea and all the fishes had long gone.
[]
Even if 2/3rd of the Earth was covered by the water, they are non-portable (undrinkable) water.
With the heat of the Sun, evaporated water from the sea has to go somewhere = make the rainfall though,
it wouldn’t go to the desert.
With the over exploitation of the timber and the minerals, I don’t think the Jungles like in Amazon or
in Africa are still there. The rain fall to the tree-less land only makes flush flood, while wash off the top soil
= make the land to yet another desert.
Where can agriculture taking place. Where the food come from, let alone the water.
To built those fancy future cities, raw material might be mined and manufactured to the structural steels,
glasses or fancy new material though, somebody who run the industry got to be a man
= where his lunch come from ? Algae grown in the huge tanks ?
[]
Those images may looks impressive though, they are the pure fantasies which has no
solid ground of reality.
Even now, we human being already pushed the capability, sustainability of the earth too far,
I wouldn’t imagine we are going to have a landscape anything resembling like those images.
I do much prefer to live rather fossilized archaic simple life. (So, I don’t have Smart-phone,
let alone Tablet kind, not mention even a Credit card. No Net-porno because I can’t pay 😀 )
Simple, hence not a complication of the dairy life, therefore peace of mind 😀

Din = Software of the Year
One of my keen reader, Jagannathan is the one who read all the post and remember what I said in where.
He is a computer programmer and designing open-source music program = [ Din – Din is Noise ],
and it was selected for the [Software of the Year Award] by the Pixelache.
—– see the detail in this link;
http://www.pixelache.ac/helsinki/2011/piksel11-pixelache-sotfware-of-the-year-2012/
———-
As a matter of fact, I’ve mentioned him several times here, as the person having the notorious 8150 number
appeared in his life, hence I advised him ” The Dharma must be appreciated you creating
a program in open-source / for anyone’s use for free —– it is a selfless act “
So that, this time he was awarded for his activities and the quality of the work. Congratulation !
—– Though, there was a shortfall.
As he dedicated his life to create own program, he didn’t pay much attention for a time-keeping.
Hence, his privilege to see me in person has been denied. Ha ha ha 😀 (Still, he is free to read and put
comments to my blog. He just lost a fun to tease me face to face, while having a lunch together 😀 )
Never mind, for him to work for the Dharma selflessly, is the matter.

Yoshizen is a landscape, to learn a thing or two. Once learned, then walk further ahead.
After all, everybody having own Karma and the different Pathway —– hence have to find the own Zen.
To find what the Dharma has given to a person, and to follow it, is what ” Live with the Dharma” meant.
And ” The Dharma in YOU” really meant.
The idea of the Soft design comes from the depth in one’s mind.
In that depth, sublimated idea of the structure of the Soft lies = which has been given by the Dharma.
People often say “Got idea from xxx” or “Inspired by xxx” but didn’t aware that the Karma was behind =
[How and Why encountered the xxx] = there always the flow of the Karma = This is what the Pathway is.

Mermaid in the Flood
A photo I found in the internet —– Mermaid in the flooded city ! (Photo KEITH K NRT Thailand)
Forget the useless talking, whether it is appropriates or politically correct while millions of the lives were
devastated and hundreds of the people lost their lives etc —–.
Blame the government ? Curse the heaven ? Complain the misfortune ? —– regardless, the water is rising.
Instead of becoming desperate, be glad it was not a killer Tsunami —– at least the sky is blue.
Thanks goodness, at least still alive and kicking !
Open the eyes, see the bright side because anyhow dark spot may be everywhere.

So, think how to deal with the situation. Normal business was completely out of question.
Yet still, what people can do in their best here in the water ?
This might be the occasion only once in the life !
—– Ah, to take this opportunity, why not reborn to be a Mermaid.
This is the contemplation at work. —– With a touch of fun and ingenuity. 😀
This is the life of good Buddhist ( particularly fun-loving variety ) in their best resilience.
(—– But, I don’t know. She could be good Christian. —– Is it a matter ? 😀 )
Life is to live. Not for wasted to be in grumpy.
Anyhow, even a flood was brought by the Dharma.
If you can’t beat, join it. Being with it, is the better choice. And live in its Moment.
(in this instance forget the talking of man-made climate change kind, blah, blah)
