Karma – Fate – Palm Reading – 神秘線
Those past 3~4 months I’ve been hooked by a kind of Youtube viz which
is talking about how a man and a woman met, to how ugly the story of
their adultery and the divorce battle was etc etc. = May be a kind of cheep
stories in the tabloid news paper or women’s mag’ sort — I guess. = I guess
because I never read those papers = I don’t know actuary.
And I was utterly bemused by the sheer amount of those endless stories.
Fortunately I didn’t have such ugly situations on my life ( If I can say 3 years
court battle which was caused by a fraudulent marriage registration without
my knowledge which a woman schemed it for an immigration fraud — was
not ugly enough = no violence, no money grubbing etc. but just a clinical
process of the procedure as a litigant in person, up to the Court of Appeal,
stand against the President of High Court !)
not only that, I don’t drink, take no drug, no gamble, no game, gave up smoking
and even no woman = So, in certain stage, I thought, this vice-free life style IS
the very step towards the Buddhist’s Enlightenment.(Like as a Hinayana Dokkaku)
[]
Among the founder of a Buddhist sect, Shinran who formed a Japanese
Pure-land sect was the first monk openly married to a wife while saying that
“Without knowing the trouble to have a woman, how the priest could give an
advice to the people ?”. (yet it was a common knowledge that the priest having
a woman in their temple — by calling her Daikoku-sama = not wife. 😀 )
—– while reading those ugly or some time sobbing Youtube stories, I started
to wonder, is there anything else in the human life ? = Those ugly messes ARE
what the human life really are. They ARE the very expression of the Karma. =
What else did cause, hence created those very situations.
(Man’s ego may create something unique, still the Karma boomerang back !
= We can not escape from it in anyway.) And I’m well aware, soon or later
I’ll join the ques of dying and start to shows demented acts anyway. AND, this
awareness of the reality IS the Enlightenment in the Mahayana = It couldn’t be
a staged, choreographed clean Nirvana. What’s wrong ???
After all, to become aware Who I AM and to live as I AM is THE ultimate way to
reconcile, therefore to resolve with the Dharma. It’s mean, this is what the
Enlightenment IS.
That’s why all the great Zen Master said “The Enlightenment IS a Dog shit” 😀
To be as I AM mean as ugly as the reality of myself. Nothing wrong ! ! !
[]
Dharma is the total dynamic system of the whole existence.
And the Karma is the relation of how each segment or parts act each other.
How we were born has been defined by the Karma and in the modern
scientific understanding, they could seen to be defined by the DNA with
the environmental restrictions. — Spiritualists or Religious people may not
like this definition though, with the advancement of the scientific research,
those relations = which GENE defines what or what environmental / chemical
condition causes what etc. are becoming clear and clear day by day.
[]
So, it has been a popular topics recently, that the relation between the lengths
of the fingers and the sexual power / Testosterone level became well known.
Yet still, the lines in the Palm has been ignored by the most of the people.
With a kind of political correctness, talk about the determinism seems to be
a taboo. — Yet still its exists. (The palm line doesn’t define you. It only shows
how you’ve been defined by the DNA = likewise how the brain was developed
accordingly which determines how you behave and think = therefore
influences your way of the life and even a financial position. It doesn’t predict
future but simply shows natural consequence = such as, idiot lives as an idiot.)
[]
You can have a simple observation of the palm. = Generally there are three bold
lines on your palm. From the top = Heart line, middle = Brain / Intelligence line,
and the bottom (encircle the Thumb) = Life line.
Compare the character of you to your friend, while reading each palm
= If the Heart line is messy, the emotional state is messy (simpler line = stable)
= If the Brain and the Life line start together, the mind / the thinking has firm
base on the own life (on who you were born to be) but if lines start separately,
the person tend to play with imaginary world (idealist = couldn’t see the reality).
(To go further, you better go Wiki or books.)
[]
This is my palm. You can see how one’s life has been reflected on the palm.
In the center of my palm, the Cross was called Mystic or Spiritual line.
This line appears to the person who is religious or got psychic power.
= Or to say, a person who was born to have a certain DNA combination will
have the brain developed in particular way which possess Spiritual power.
(Crossing between Heart/Intuition to Higher Thinking process
may graphically indicates Spirituality)
(Its mean, a person who proclaim to be a psychic or religious without having
this line on the palm is sham. — have look your master or instructor’s palm.)
Though very few were born with this line and with this reality, the line’s
existence was almost a legend in the palm-reading both east and the west, so
that, no typical photo of it in the Wiki (because the people who is talking about
the Palm-reading in the Net is not genuine = he doesn’t have it = no photo. 😀 )
—– And the person who possess this line said to be protected by the
supernatural power. —– such as in my case of 8150 story .ヨシ禅縁起
(Did you convinced, how the palm actuary reflects the person’s life !)
So, to know what your palm is telling, is to know Who You ARE !

Rice Cake
I would say nothing new = It’s the same story in New Year.
= I made a Rice Cake and made it to an Ozoni etc.
In fact, having the same event so many times again and again
it isn’t much of excitement. —– it’s a routine Sir.
I don’t have new year’s resolution kind. ( but just having
on-going projects which is going to be completed)
= Has to live as usual and do as usual whether it is fun or not.
That what the life is.
(If we plan big, it would fail. Not a plan but DO have a step further.)
That what the Zen is.

Caliber of the man — Calligraphy
I stumbled an Youtube post
showing the comparison of
calligraphy made by the
Japanese PM Abe and the
Chinese Chairman Shu.
(Abe=left, Shu=right)
Seemingly it was posted in China and the people commenting how
pathetic, the Shu’s hand were. Calligraphy expose the man’s caliber.
[]
Wasn’t that a Contradiction — or— Enlightenment ?
Somebody questioned me after this paragraph :
—– You have to see it by your eyes. Not from the stories.
Otherwise, Why You need to bother be a Buddhist.
To contact with all the fresh stimuli with your naked sense will
keep your brain young. —– Which was
the last paragraph of the last post = Meaning on the Hand.
“You (mean Me) been saying “See the world in Detached eyes.
Do the things like a routine without Emotion” but here you
say “Feel it with naked sense” — which is true ?”
[]
Aha, you are right. I didn’t pay enough attention.
It was a matter of the stage, while people gain the awareness.
= Going through the pathway, people gain the awareness and in
the same time perception, attitude etc everything will change,
but only stage by stage. It will not happen in one go.
—– With the endless repeated practice, the person may gain a
mentality to do the practice as a routine, out of emotion, and gain
an attitude to carry-out the work/dairy life in a detached mind.
Once the person mastered this mental state, in fact the person
became immune to the emotional up and down and became a
cool observer to his/hers own life. Once the person reached to
this stage, the person would be liberated from the Person itself.
This is the biggest Paradox in Zen. = As the person IS now free
from the SELF, there will be NO concern left = even the own life,
therefore free to commit anything. So, feel free, enjoy or cry free.
In fact, here is an Enlightened Person.

Meaning on the Hand
Well, this is the Post diverted and became its own from the previous post.
Hand is a body parts which got second highest concentration of
the nerve after the eyes. And especially we human got our hands
best developed among any animals, we have best and the most
delicate control of them. So that, not only its dexterity or the
physical function, its acquired the mean of expression as well.
We can read the meaning of what the hand is telling or symbolizes,
and the eyes tend to follow what the hand is expressing.
(I mean not only F**K or Peace kind of sign but also more delicate
mood of its operator as well.) 🙂
[]
Among the Buddhism, Tantra sect having not only their Dharani
(magic words) but also quite complicated form of the hand sign
(or finger twists which the followers do the same — and they are
showing off it each others “Look I can do better than you”).
It’s hard to guess where it was originated, = each
Buddhism Figures are showing their unique hand sign.
You may search their meanings or each name in the Wiki though,
I don’t think it would bring any worthwhile understanding of the
Buddha’s teachings. They are just the cosmetic style.
[]
= After all, the core of the teachings was, to reprogram the brain to
jump the process in the Emotional Region in Limbic System, where
the notion of Self-interests = Ego / Greed / Desire were induced.
It is the same situation to learn ride a Bicycle = reprogram the Motor
Region of brain to learn the body-balance on the bicycle = intellectual
understanding of “How to ride” wouldn’t work, but physical practice.
Lord Buddha’s last words in his death bed to the disciples was
“Don’t believe what others say or you head, but learn it yourself”
—– This episode signify
(1) His teaching could not be understood intellectually but only
a practical learning of the body and the mind could materialize.
Such as, you been reading this blog without noticing WHO is
reading this — ? = We are living without noticing the SELF.
Unless we assert “Me Me Me” Self is not there.
— With a practice, you will get a technique to apply this mental
mechanism to do the subject which was awkwardly entwined with
your Ego, without Emotion and without the so-called Self.
(2) The reason why
Lord Buddha had to say it in such a precious, last remaining
moment was that his disciples has yet necessarily mastered it.
—– And this fact explain why the Buddhism and its teachings of
“No-Self /Anatman” (No soul to Reincarnates) was misconceived
and mixed up with the Hinduism (which says Reincarnation) since
such early days.
[]
When we saw a hand and feel what sort of meaning it’s saying,
— we can feel but it can not be interpreted into the words.
Our hand express unconsciously = and we read it unconsciously.
= they are out of the lexical comprehension. —– The most of
Lord Buddha’s statue having the hand sign called “Semui” (in
Japanese) which said to mean “Don’t be afraid” — Can you see it ?
I can only see “Oh, what a big hand !” —– 😀
—– You have to see it by your eyes. Not from the stories.
Otherwise, Why You need to bother be a Buddhist.
To contact with all the fresh stimuli with your naked sense will
keep your brain young. 🙂

Ai Weiwei Exhibition
Actuary, I went to the Fortnum & Mason again with different
lens (or hole ?) — Then, I just crossed the street to other side,
to the Royal Academy = where happen to have an exhibition
of Chinese artist Ai Weiwei.
Academy’s courtyard having trees or re-assembled dead wood.
It was an utterly odd view. Those trees were not in the original
shape nor well composed big “Ikebana” but the standing mess.
I wondered what’s going on the inside.
(Photo above = tons of building steel rod were piled up on the floor
=Ai Weiwei is not good to make the things by himself but to
organize the workers to do the job.)
I’m not a fun of Ai Weiwei.
I can see he is trying hard to MAKE something “looks like an ART”.
= in other words, he was not a born artist = so that, to squeeze the
brain to manufacture the piece, not spontaneously creates a shape.
Hence, the piece wouldn’t hit our emotion but just boggle the mind.
= So, the art critics needs to write about those “Boggle” = keeping
them busy and the art-media flourish. — The good art will hit the
viewer’s subconscious direct = no need of explanation nor critics’
blah blah. 😀
So, those were the pieces made out of the pretext of the earthquake
= the list of the dead (Left) and the debris (right).
— did such big disaster inspire him only those ? If I were him, I
would have put a school text book or a bunch of hair between the
debris = bad taste but such straight visual signal will hit the
subconscious of the viewers direct, without needs of blah blah.
Photo left showing “a chair IS a part of a tree” = I know,
a chair used to be a tree. = So what ?
And the photo right = nicely made cabinet having holes =
spoiling the effort and saying a twist = again So, what =
What a cheap idea. Can’t you conceive anything better ?
Yet again like the words of a second class art school
teacher = “Make a thing out of norm/Break a stereotype”.
TV camera (or that kind of shape) was made by plastic.
Chinese has been making so many utterly inconceivable
products such as fake eggs, fake protein (melamine) in
the milk etc etc = Ai Weiwei should learn from them if he
want to impress us with the eye-opening incredible idea !
Something scribble ? — or repeated print covering whole wall.
He might have thought = highly technical idea — a piece using
the reflection of acril plastic. = Yes I can see its funny reflection.
So, what ? A bit strange doesn’t mean “Impressive” 🙂
Everyday’s objects made out expensive jade.
Handcuffs made out of plastic. Useless and out of norm again.
(Chinese kid’s toy Handcuffs were all made by plastic ) ?
Fabricated trees in the room — not impressive though, they
still showed a kind of fun-full free structure he must have
enjoyed like a game. So, I liked this piece.
Thousands white plastic pieces covering the floor and one
baby buggy (= somewhat impressive fine work)
— is this related to the Chinese Scandal / billion of forcibly
aborted fetus by the “one child policy” ? (I only guess =
I didn’t get any information or bought an exhibition catalog.
= In my policy, I SEE the piece, not study it by the words.)
In this room, and the confined small box explaining what
Ai Weiwei himself has been subjected by the So-Called
Authority’s tenacious interrogation = kind of torture/
intimidation/suppression.
This is not an art but just an indictment.= may have a
political meaning still, visually boring exhibit. Not impressed.
So far, this must be the most impressive piece in this exhibition.
May be it was just a coincidence = still, how bizarre.
On this occasion, I had only Concentric-Double-Dencity Pinhole
intended to use for F&M Window shooting, which was not best
suits for this subject still, I think it wasn’t too bad.
—– If you want to see more info’ or clear images please
search in the net or go to the exhibition yourself. = don’t ask me.
[]
Cult Party
My friend’s Immersible Cult got 2 years anniversary and had
an end of the year party. Especially they organized “Tokyo Dream”
party this year which was even featured in the Evening Standard
ES magazine, the party got quite few Japanese guests as well.
Free meals and drinks — though, they were completely vegetarian
= boiled alive potatoes, skinned alive carrot etc etc.
= not much mercy for them. 🙂
In fact the guests are the staffs or the freelance artists who has been
involved into those projects etc = worked together, familiar faces.
Still, I do necessary know every faces neither who was doing what.
(In this time, those fuzzy photos were taken by a homemade
So-called Gaudy Lens — though some of them were out of focus)
Then the attraction started = Japanese singing/performing group
Frank Chickens. (Started here as the female Ninja !)
But, I’m not sure what are they doing. 🙂
The singers group Frank Chickens started 70s —–
and now having some new and young members.
(and even Irish and Polish men as well)
They sound something Rockefeller Building — ?
Don’t ask me what. 🙂
Then the party went into a dancing conclusion.
And so on, so on ~ ~ ~ till early morning.

Fate and the Mentality
Few days ago in Japan, one of the busy commuter train breakdown due to
the safety mechanism in their over-head power cable. Stranded passengers
in the trains were lead to a nearby station, 20 minutes walk on the rail track.
(Japanese train takes the electric power from the over-head cable, not from
the side track, so that, without a danger of electrocution, it is safe to walk
on the track.) = All 5000 passengers were just walked in orderly manner and
no trouble was ever occurred.
When this news was reported on the Chinese News Paper, the Net users in
China responded with their astonishment saying such as “If this was happened
in China, within 5 minutes passengers started riot, smashing the windows etc”
“How 5000 Japanese could keep calm and quietly walk for 20 minutes long
without showing any anger or frustration !”
—– And the Japanese Net users responded to those Chinese thread saying
“It’s no point to make a riot and break the train because it would only cause
even more delay” “When all the people having the same fate, making trouble
wouldn’t get any situation better” “Anyhow, the company or school where
people will be late wouldn’t accuse them because it was like an act of God =
It was the fate anybody has to accept”.
[]
They are the two contrasting mentalities = in my view, each mentality
originated from the Chinese Taoism and the Japanese Buddhism.
I quite doubt, in China how many people ever read the Book of Taoism =
Tao Te Ching, still, most of them seemed to visit the temple to read their
fortune = by throwing two wooden sticks six times to find Yin and Yan’s
combination (It is in fact the Ai-Ching). The funny things were, they keep
doing it again and again until they receive good prediction. (=they would
not accept bad prediction !) In other words, Chinese doesn’t follow even
the will of God (or Heaven) or vend it by their Ego). (China has Confucius
and Buddhism as well though in mentality, they all got the same.)
—– in contrast, Japanese Buddhist is far more cool, or even cold,(may
be even Cynical) for not to have a passion for riot. 🙂 = since they know
the situation, what sort of the process would be needed to repair the
breakdown system etc well. They are far more rational to know
what they can do —– in fact, the situation IS telling them,
Just Walk. = So, they did.
This is the Mentality to accept and follow Dharma and the Karma (or Fate)
and the Wisdom or the Belief, that the end result would be better with this.
[]
What is MUSHIN ?
May be I’ve talked about this ten of the times if not hundred.
—– Still, I was asked the same question.
So, this is the most up-to-dated straight answer.
[]
It is a well known medical symptom among the Alzheimer patients
who lost the nerval connection to the Emotional region in the Brain
lost the recognition related to the SELF such as to recognize own
possessions even to distinguish the face of the own family.
So, Emotion judge the interest of OWN — in other words, this is the
center of EGO, Greed, Well being, Safety, Security, all those Instincts.
Of course, they are the key to the survival though, the total amount
of the signal/Data the brain has to deal is burst, so that there is a
rationalized economical saving was designed = coming data was
selected according to its importance.
The harmless insignificant data or repeating same data, are ignored.
We wouldn’t pay any attention to the same boring TV CM etc. and when
we do the repeating same work, we do automatic without Emotion. = In
deed, in such a case, the Motor Region of the brain would be programed
to do such routine work automatic, involving no Emotion at all.
[]
So, if we block the data/signal reaching Emotional region, we can do
the job automatic, without the Emotion. (= With highest efficiency !)
Without Emotion mean without the feeling of “Mine” = SELF —
because of no feeling of Ego, Self interest (mean, no envy, jealousy to
others), Own Greed, even No Cling to own Life, be free from the SELF.
This state of Mind mean, no need to cling the past, nor need to imagine
a dream= in other words, just see the world on front of the eyes as it is
Now, without having any Thinking.—– This eyes IS clear eyes.
And this state of Mind IS the “Mind of No-Mind” = Mushin.
[]
In order to acquire “block the Emotional process” Buddhists use
the long repeating practice for the brain to learn “How to
Opt-out the signal process” and DO the job (or Life) automatic.
(Like, you can branding “The matter” same as to the boring TV CM
and make it no longer recognized to be exists —
we know it’s still there though, it became a remote landscape.)
In certain extent, Zen Buddhism is very cool, even cold.
But, use this to live the life very hot is the other stage of Zen.

Crèche in the Zen Buddhism
There are quite few Crèche in the Zen Buddhism.
Such as Mindfulness, Middle way, to live in Now,Selfless etc etc
and indeed, I did talked about those topics in the early posts.
Yet still, funnily enough, in the Agama Sutra, there was no word of
Lord Buddha for about those topics. And I realized that, the talking
of those Crèche started to appear in the Mahayana scriptures,
typically like Middle way.
—– as a matter of fact, I too wrote in somewhere, the Middle way is
not in the both extreme, somewhere in the Middle.
Though, think about the extreme — in the Nature/Dharma, if it was
too little, we may not noticed it was existing. And if it was too much,
there is no such things in nature. It was only a product of imagination.
In other words, if we follow the Nature/Dharma, we are
naturally live in the Middle way. Likewise, to live in Now, if we don’t
cling Past, neither indulge imagined Future, we only deal with Now.
In the same way, Mindfulness is not a special notion, it was the state
of Mind, when there was no other imagined matter / things, but seeing
the subject on front = what else can you think of ?
— in short, there wouldn’t be any of those issues exists in the Mushin.
= Mushin mean, live Selflessly. So, it became to clear / too clear that
the script writer of the Mahayana has written those Crèche from an
overheard rumor “That the Enlightened said to live in Middle way,
live in Now and facing the life in Mindfulness”etc etc = and started
mimicking the antic = pretending of “Middle way” “Mindfulness”
“Live in Now”etc. and talked a lot blah blah — While not knowing
what the “Middle way” was = because he hasn’t even experienced the
Mushin, there was no way to know what the real “Middle way” was.
The people who doesn’t know, talk a lot, to pretend !
Still, the matter IS very simple. = once you vacated (emptied) your
Mind, what you can see is only the matter on front (= no memory
of the past, neither imagined future) = when the matter only on
front exists, what else to think about = this is Mindfulness.
And when you follow what you instantly conceived (on that Moment
= so-called intuitive perception) is the way of the Dharma.(what else ?)
(Because the Dharma is rational and harmonious as a whole system,
inherently, there is no extreme = this IS the very Middle way)
—– You see, it’s so simple in real (practical) life.
But, “talk about” the misconceived concept is much more complicated.
Because, such concept (=Crèche) is in the intellectual thinking, BUT
Zen Buddhism is a matter in the state of Mind (the way to handle the
data in the Brain) so, try to find the meaning by way of thinking is like
“To THINK HOW to ride a bicycle” instead to make own body to
“LEARN it”. 😀
