Why TALK, Why Blog ?
It is the most fundamental contradiction in Zen Blog. Which I’m well aware.
Zen is after all, [in practice] how to live. Not a system of thinking or idea. Nor dubious magic at all.
Therefore, if any notion or thinking of even an idea of spirituality or any religious notion is there, it is
not the Zen but mere pretence.
In Zen, because of no preconceived idea or thinking is there (or no longer there) it is described as Mushin
and having the eyes to see the subjects without preconception, it is fully opened clear eyes by which
the one can see the object as it is, hence, there couldn’t be any barrier between
seeing and be seen = it is the Oneness / Ichijo.
Seeing and be seen are no longer there as the separate entity, hence no Self could exist
—– all those are not a logical conclusion or answer, but just a state of the brain.
( Brain is not only for thinking 🙂 )
non
State of the brain ( In fact, the balance of hormone, Dopamine and Serotonin etc) will be
reflected to one’s feeling and the actual action, so does to the results ( hence to the one’s Karma)
not as a revealing words. ( Because, Zen is not a word game but real dairy life )
non
This is the Buddhism of which Buddha taught.
To learn this, the followers literally followed
Buddha and copied what he does, down to the minute details, since
Buddha himself was the teachings itself. And as
Buddha did practice his own dairy life according to the Dharma,
and himself was a part of the Dharma too, his actions or practices were the Dharma.
( So that the recordings of those teachings were also called as Dharma, and those practices has been reflected
into the Zen Buddhism, such as in the Soto Zen, there is no verbal communication but just follow the practice,
and through practice, the learning could be achieved and even sudden realization could be occurred,
which was called Direct Transmission )
non
—– this is the reason why I feel deeply paradoxical to talk about Zen, let alone blogging.
In the so-called Buddha’s biography, there was the story of
Buddha’s hesitation to teach what he found in his Enlightenment, which was needed a persuasion of
the Brahman to start.
(So far I couldn’t find the origin of this story in the Scripture —– the author of the biography must have
really deep understanding of the Buddhism and had the insight )
Buddhism having inherent trouble refusing to be explained by the words.
Understanding or so-called enlightenment may just come while practising.
So that, I can definitely say, Just Do it.

FORMURA in DHARMA
I have written about how Leonardo Davinch was obsessed with his Masonic belief a while ago.
And it is well known that the Masonic people has been trying to figure out the fundamental rule of
the universe in its proportion or mathematical formula, hence the architectural proportion of
the old temple etc.
Fibonacci number / its rule of consecutive numbers are one of the rules found in nature —–
since they thought, it should have the ultimate power of rule of universe. etc etc. ( It is true, some plants
and its order of distribution of leaves or seeds on the pod shows certain pattern, hence certain formula
which lead to the discovery of the very Fibonacci number ) —– so what ?
non
Unfortunately, there is no such magic formula to solve the trouble in the human life.
If the perfect proportion of the old temple have had any mythical protective power of the universe,
it couldn’t have been destroyed.
It is a tendency of the dream of lazy and yet greedy man —— to grub the power and the fortune
by tricking using the simple and easy formula —– and believing such things could ever exist.
Non
Of cause, Buddha taught no such things could ever exists, and such idea is nothing
but a delusion. —– though, some Mahayana Mantras having many fancy super natural stories.
A man who read Diamond Mantra and wanted to gain such super natural power, asked me to teach
the secret of Zen. (since he believed I’ve got it —– how nice complement 😀 )
non
Give a thought or two to what Buddha taught —–
Fixed formula which got only few parameters only works to the fixed, limited condition.
Buddha said, nothing stays permanent and keep changing moment to moment = out of
reach of any fixed formula.
Such formula is a product of our poor thinkings —– how we can rely such idea when the author,
ourself is unreliable. Even its existence is not certain.
Above all, what is the intention to get such secret formula for — to get the good result quick ?
To get power and the fortune in easy way ? = What a greed and the arrogance.
Such greed or arrogance negates any virtue of the Buddhism.
One Buddhists sect recruiting the people saying “Get happiness quick“— though, such idea to appeal
the people’s greed negates Buddhism itself. ( You can see, despite they are taking a lots though they
are the most miserable people — only able to repeat what was written in the book, and thinking Happy)
Strange Paradox of Goodness in the Buddhism only came out of absolute nothing. From No expectation.
non
Buddha didn’t give an answer to many questions — long time myself has been thinking, because
it was not necessary for us to know, — though I realized, it was the very answer Buddha intended to give.
The answer itself is a notion, whether it was said by Buddha or not. When the notion itself and
the condition based upon it couldn’t exist in a fixed form, there couldn’t be
a fixed answer = no answer is the very answer.
—– Then all the another pieces of his teachings fallen into the jigsaw —– that’s why the clear eyes to
see the Dharma is essential = Dharma itself is not fixed entity, it changes a moment to moment,
hence the flow of response is essential. The free mind, not cringe to any fixed idea, away from any
deluded idea or belief is essential = Mind of No-Mind is the key to see the Dharma.
Its mean, the compliance to the situation is the matter. See the situation as it is.
And the response on this moment may not be the same to a response a moment ago.
Its mean, there is no fixed formula. Or no-formula is the ultimate formula.
No quick fix with anticipation exists.
Don’t worry with bad anticipation, until its happened, it hasn’t happened yet.
When it’s happened, then, take best action —– as long as you keep your eyes clear,
the situation you see is far better than misguided anticipation.
Flexible structure is much stronger even in an earthquake.
This is the Buddhism. Buddhists never miss the moment.

JOKE
One of the most cynical joke toward the Buddhism is
—– If there is no Self, where is the one who get enlightened ?
In fact, I’ve seen this joke also in a famous book written by one of the most prominent Buddhism
scholar in Japan. He translated many important Buddhism scriptures into modern Japanese.
Which book, I might have read 100 times ?
(so, I’ve read this joke 100 times) — Ha ha ha —– very funny 😀
And it took me more than 20 years to realize the hidden truth —–
Ah’ because, he hasn’t enlightened yet then !
Non
As long as the one is entwined with the Self —– no enlightenment. (It is self-evident)
And the moment, when the one got enlightened —– it is the same moment as the Self disappeared.
Or, the moment when the Self disappeared, it’s mean the one was enlightened.
The Self and the Enlightenment never exist in the same time.
Therefore, to make the joke has no point —– and the author of the book hasn’t realized it by
himself —– its mean he didn’t know what is the enlightenment. Yet still, he is a professor teaching
about the Buddhism. —– knowing the words and teaching them is different from Buddhism itself.
One could get enlightened in direct transmission in one day, still the other who studied
hundreds of scriptures are not necessary guaranteed to achieve enlightenment or nirvana.
Never mind, we all are still Buddhist. Ha ha ha 😀

SEXUAL Conotation
It is a funny paradox. I always amazed to find that the search term and its wording which end up
here having many sexual connotations. Its mean I’ve been giving so much disappointment to
those who is expected to find somewhat erotic content here. Sorry folks 😀
It was not in my intention or tactics to attract the readers but my careless choice of the subjects.
(For instance, when I used the term [xxxx Do] it supposed to mean such as Kendo, Judo, etc.
in general. As I was not familiar with X-rated film kind, I was not aware — to other’s eyes, it can
be construed as “about Do XXX act” Ha ha ha, very funny. 😀 —– my ignorance but too late)
on
In 1987, when I heard very first news of the new disease from San Francisco which is now known
to be the AIDS, I noticed that the sexual relation is no longer safe.
And it was the same time when my court case which related to a woman’s exploitation of
immigration loop-hole was started.
(A woman deported from here, fraudulently registered the marriage in Japan using my name
without my knowledge. The woman admitted that she did it by an instruction of employer, though
the High Court Judge made it valid and granted her quick divorce for her to escape deportation to
Japan where the Police was alerted. Naturally, the case was brought up to the Court of Appeal.
Because of the case was too obvious fraud, the President of the High Court came out to suppress the
matter saying “no need to go into the evidence”—– since the evidence in the transcript says
“Marriage is Void” —– He couldn’t go into the EVIDENCE ) —– ( From this evidence, how
High Court Judge Dobly made the marriage valid, reflect the situation in the English justice)
I just gave up any relation. Woman is nothing but the trouble.
So that the file in my brain to deal with woman was deleted.
The woman became just a part of a landscape, hence its sexual connotation disappeared.
Existence of Genitals doesn’t mean sex —– its sexual connotation is all in the mind.
( of which I’ve been calling [ OBSESSION ] —– which can be erased )
non
Anyhow, court case consume a lots of time and a money. Especially in my case, to proceed it myself
as Litigant in Person (without Lawyer, while studying English Law overnight) was hard.
I was simply fallen into the situation, not able to spare the time or money to a woman.
It was totally out of question.
On
Of cause the knowledge was still there and able to see or hear what woman says, though it doesn’t
connect to my EMOTION hence the so-called female sexuality or their sex appeal stop to
appeal to my mind —– they became the matter of foreign land or different universe.
A funny side effect (?) was, as the receptacle to read sexual context in my mind has been deleted, I lost
a capability to see the innuendo or meaning of suggestive approach or its signal. (So that, in many
cases, after long time, I suddenly became aware “I see, she wanted to sleep with me” 😀 )
non
As a matter of fact, even myself was amazed to see the change of my own perception. And it
made me realize, this must be the condition of mind what the Zen Buddhism is talking about.
Then I gave a thought. Read the books I brought from Japan etc. etc. —– it was an epoch in my
quest to the Zen. If the mind can be controlled in this way, in reverse this must be the way to control
the mind in general. (If even a so-called imperative instinct could be negated and completely
disappeared, there can not be any difficulty to control the mind )
On
Since then somewhat strange 23 years past —– but, it seems it was seen by others even more strange.
Most of all, be in the Club every weekend, seemed to give an impossible puzzle to others. 😀
I was there to perfect my body movement (others call it dancing) nothing else. Though, even a
club owner, manager seemed not able to understand what is the purpose for. As a matter of fact, I had
the indispensable opportunities to observe the Skinner Box of male-female behaviour ! ! ! 😀
And seeing hundred of almost naked young girls shaking their ass every weekend for (just with the
Fridge Club in Brixton — almost 6 years) so many years, I’ve accumulated a collation of body shape, facial
expression and her dancing style and the character —– how to behave, and so on.
But never dance or even talk with them (and never drink alcohol) created funny myth —– such as,
I was the real owner or under-cover detective etc. —– The worst was mistaken as a gay (for their mind,
“if not interested in woman it must be a gay” then start sexual act straight on the spot, hugging from
behind or touch the body while wearing only kinky strings, etc. —– I respect their right to be a gay.
But I have exact the same right not to be sexually harassed by them —– do what you like but
don’t count me in) —– yet still, those facts enforced my view even stronger—-> not all the gay
person was born to be a gay, but became gay by their choice, its mean a drive came from
their thinking = mind-set can change even an inherent, imperative instinct.
non
To accumulate too much data makes a person insensitive. —– nothing would surprise nor excite.
And having so much data (about woman) made me too casual, or there is no romantic sanctuary left.
So that I might have lost the usual sense to handle the matter with kid gloves, hence I might be
giving an impression to have lots of sexual talk. (Certain extent, it is true 😀 —– when the subject
having no significance to place in the sanctuary, it became just one hilarious subject among the others)
Hence, I just have no boundary or prohibition.
non
And the reason why I created so many female nude figure was, simply it is easier. —– it is much
more cumbersome to make a dressed figure, using such as wire or metal panel. And if you put big
boobs it became female nude. In comparison, to show the male figure as male, needs to show more
complexed muscles etc. which is harder for the simple material. (Strangely, my Buddha stature has
no muscle, just the bones —– still nobody thought he is no other than Buddha 🙂 )
non
If you happen to be an unsuspecting, misguided reader, who unfortunately end up here,
it was mainly caused by the Google’s key-word program —- they literally, pick up a word out of context.
Still, I hope, you had unexpected fun while reading this. Ha ha ha 😀

PEACE in JAPAN —- Really ? ? ?
Japan is a strange country. Among the developed countries, it is the most safe, prosperous
country. Newborn babies’ mortality rate is the smallest in the world and live longest life.
In other words, it is the most peaceful place in the world. Never seen bloody conflict or
political economical insurgence, other than few Yakuza killings and very remote poison-gas attack
by the religious fanatics. —– Only exception is occasional natural disasters which is
killing handful people in each incidence.
—– so, some may say Japanese are spoiled by the peace.
non
It seems, the previous post which I wrote how Japanese is overcoming the disaster by
ignoring the BAD NEWS, annoyed some people who was saying “ Don’t mix-up
the natural disaster to the man-made Nuclear Accident and the failure of the
response by the government.
I’m well aware of it. In fact I’ve been annoyed by the situation myself. At least, I was an
anti-establishment activist. —-but, we learned it in 60th, 70th how hopeless the situation is.
non
The expression in the west [Bang the head against a stone wall] would explain the
situation. —– And the rack of the political leadership, charismatic leader, nor championing
organization — hence no prospect of any change. ( You might be noticed, there is
virtually no anti-Nuclear demonstration in Japan except the one organized by the
musicians —– it was more like a family outing to cheer-up the depressed people
and politically gave no effect )
So that, there is very positive activities to help the disaster stricken people, but in the same
time deep hopeless mind-set toward the situation, especially the government or establishment.
This hopelessness and powerlessness toward the ever murky politics and the
situation of the Nuclear Plant made the people to feel —– it is no different from
unfortunate fate, like the one’s death which will inevitably comes.
(Remember, there was anti-Nuclear or anti-War demonstration, though I never seen
anti-death demonstration — of cause, there is no point at all though,
it is utterly unfair isn’t it. Why not ? 😀 )
—– This Japanese psyche has been exploited by the government, hence their one-party
dominance could continued 50 years. (Then even after the power moved from Lib-Dem to
Democratic Party, unfortunately as they have been away from the system too long,
they don’t know how to govern the country —– and the system relying on the personal
expertise and the connection, it can not be replaced and changed easily)
Japanese politics is done by the negotiations between those in power and the backup person
and not open to public, not mention foreign journalists, the debate in the Parliament are
just a farce and the Minister is just a nominal figure (the facts and the data was held by
bureaucrats, hence Minister doesn’t necessary know the whole picture) —— even a head of
government change, those people who know the data and actually run the system is
still the same. Mind you, the system there is economically second or third largest system
and the industrially as large as US. —– when the supply of components stopped from Japan
due to the disaster there, even the iPAD production in China halted.
non
Cheap or HUMBLE ?
These days, every corner of the town, there is yet another so-called
pound shop. At one of them I found rather surprising item on the shelf.
—– Six energy-saving light bulbs for 99 pence.
Alternative to traditional incandescent light, those miniaturized fluorescent
light are everywhere. I’ve seen three bulbs for 2 pounds, then 1 pound, but
I couldn’t anticipate six for less than 1 pound. Those light bulb having rather
complicated electronic control circuit inside of its socket base and
regulating the current go through the tube to about 50 mili ampea level
—- hence, 240 V x 0.05 A = 12 W. And to do it, the circuit is switching the
current in pretty high frequency using high voltage Power Field-effect Transistor.
If I buy this kind of transistor which I can use in another electronic switching circuit, it may cost me
a pound each. So, I thought, even if the bulb is not perfect, still I can take the component out of it and the glass
tube can be used to make a kind of sculpture.
non
So, I bought, and tested them in my place.
—– The bulb worked as it is. Though, I wouldn’t know whether they last only 500 hours or
3000 hours. —– But, what I found peculiar was, the socket base of the bulb, its metal fitting is
slightly out of the standard. In fact, they are a bit larger, therefore very tight to insert to
the socket. Think about, when you change the light bulb on the ceiling, stretch the hands while
standing on a wobbly chair, and struggling to insert or removing the bulb gripping the glass tube,
—– what would likely happen is, the thin glass tube may break, while sprinkling the toxic white
powder on your eyes, if not cut your fingers.
My guess is, those bulb has been rejected by the dealer / importer as they are not meet the British standard —–
hence end up to the warehouse clearance sale, then came to a pound shop.
The people who buy those products may not realize it is out of standard, even not able to speak in English, therefore
least likely to complain, not mention to take the matter to the Trade Standard Authority kind.
Anyhow, 16 pence each —– who bother to complain. 😀
non
As a matter of fact, this kind of trouble is nothing new. I’ve bought rechargeable battery from the Lidle.
The 4 x AA type 2500mAH rechargeable battery £2.99 looked very very cheap —– on the face.
What I found was, they are slightly big. In fact, they are 0.3 mm longer, which is in most of the case imposes no
trouble at all. Though, I’ve built many home-made devices which is not necessary using ordinary battery case, but
having battery housing tightly placed in the device, hence the larger battery is harder to insert and remove. 😀
( With my test, they hardly show the proclaimed capacity of 2500 mAH nor having consistency —– and one of
them deteriorate quicker. —– its mean, set of four became useless / We can’t mix this kind of battery with others)
These days, those small and cheap products are all coming from China. Though China having their own measuring
unit, hence having the complication like a conversion between metric and imperial unit, therefore prone
to make a mistake to produce in wrong size.
Once before, I found a kind of toy from China which got two bearings inside, for one pound each.
Bearing is not a cheap item if we buy from engineering shop. So, I thought if it is 50 pence each, it would be useful
for somewhere —– and I bought ten of them. ( got lots of bearings 😀 )
Then with my annoyance, I found their internal diameter is odd 7.5 mm and realized, this must be the common size
in China. —– So, I bought big screwdriver (of cause, also made in China ) —– and my guess was spot on,
its shaft diameter was also 7.5 mm. I got shaft as well. ( Best matched them are happy ever after 😀 )
—– To deal with cheap goods, we need to use our brain more.
A funny question is, to buy those cheap goods, is it a sign of humbleness ?
Or is it peny pinching greed ? —– I think, I leave this question to you 🙂
___/\___ ( Yes, this is the Zen question, Ha ha ha 😀 )

DaVinci DELUSION
No one deny the exceptional drawing skill of Leonardo DaVinci, but how about his famous
ingenuity in the inventions, and the scientific thinking and the observation ?
Most of the people believe the reputation of him as a genius —– really ? ? ?
As a matter of fact, what people believe is mere Hear-say or Myth.
At least, anybody can see his superb drawings and the paintings. Though, how many people ever
put close eyes to his invention or anatomical drawings, which purported to be medically,
scientifically true representation of the human anatomy.
non
Utterly against the popular belief, my view of Leonardo DaVinchi is, he was just a trickster with
big mouth. Big mouth but his presentation with realistic superb drawing fooled the people.
Exactly same as a sham Doctor selling beauty portion with beautiful picture on the bottle.
But the people who doesn’t know the science or engineering was just fooled by his big mouth
—– any how they couldn’t understand the significance or implication of the drawings.
non
If you have the basic understanding of the mechanical structure, have look his famous design of
the battle tank. —– ( you can find it in the Wikipedia )
Just look how the wheels to drive the tank was connected. —— You must soon be realized, that the
tank can go nowhere, because the wheels of the tank rotates opposite directions, against each others.
Of cause, if it was actually ever built by the carpenters —– since even ordinary carpenters can see the
direction of rotation, the mistake in the design must be rectified and modified by them on the spot,
therefore the tank could have roll-out for test drive. But even if it was built and tested, soon they realized
that a block of stone or shallow trench dug on the ground can easily demobilize the tank and it become a
sitting duck. Oil and fire would burn the soldiers inside alive. What a useless silly idea 😀
non
And just give a thought to that famous flying machine design —– does anybody possibly imagined,
somebody in the world has the muscle to swing the wings of that huge heavy structure ?
Was Leonardo DaVinci such ignorant ? Still, he believed it is a feasible good idea.—– Delusion again.
Despite his big mouth and the pretense, he lack the brain to rationally figured out the possibility and
the feasibility of the mechanism. —– He literally draw the beautiful picture (or dream ? )
He was a man just deluded and intoxicated by his own fancy idea and fooled others with it.
He was only good to copy and draw what he can actually see. —– was that ? Really ?
Non
There are hundred of the anatomical sketches made by him.
They are no doubt, superb realistic drawings —– except some
unimaginable distortions, which he intentionally put on there.
Leonardo DaVinci was a member of the Free Masons and had profound Masonic
belief, hence he had the belief of the spirit. He believed the domain of the spirit
is in the brain, and because its spirit was carried in the semen, the child inherit the
spirit from father —– therefore it has been continued from Adam.
Its mean, the sperm has to come from the brain. And it shouldn’t come
through the same tube sharing with urine, hence having different tube in the penis.
So that he has drawn additional extra tube running from brain to penis, in his anatomical
drawings of the genitals.
—– Obviously he was quite obsessed with this idea,the same man who
could precisely observed and drawn the exact position of the urinary
tube from kidney to bladder still managed to falsify non-existent tube
in the penis. It’s not scientific at all. And if he was a believer of
the God’s creation, it is a dreadful fallacy, and contempt of God.
non
There was a strange paradox in his belief. Despite his profound Masonic
belief of spiritualism, he didn’t know what the spiritualism mean, hence
he tried to make-up the materialistic representation of the spirit
—– the semen as the substance of the spirit. ( Bad tendency of the inventor. 😀 )
( Inventor’s aim is to materialize the idea. Philosopher accepts first and try to explain 😀 )
Lots of people were mislead by his paintings of Mona Lisa or Madonna kind of images, but it was
just an assignment with money to him, it was nothing to do with his spiritual state of the mind nor Christianity.
Considering many of his drawing of grotesque faces, and above all, a man who got insatiable apatite to
dissect the human body, even a pregnant woman with a foetus inside —– it is not only illegal but
a grotesque feast of insanity. It was far worse than mental perversion. He actually took a knife in his
hand to cut open a womb, in order to draw the shape of foetus. Under the spooky candle light ! Oh, No.
This is the reason why no spiritual institute gave him any historical significance, other than
dubious DaVinci Code story 😀
Neither no scientific, medical topics or phenomenon was ever named after him. —– scientists, medical
academics never took him anything serious. Since, he was just a deluded pervert, yet able to get
away, just because of his powerful connection who has been fooled by his big mouth.
DaVinci was the most typical case of PRECONCEPTION which I wrote long time ago.
His dreadful gruesome act has been completely masked and forgotten by the smile of Mona Lisa.
And people were made to believe a myth of Genius 😀
( Those drawings are in the Queen’s Collection, Windsor )

DETACHMENT and Rule of only ONCE
This Blog started two years ago just by accident. Because of it started, it started.
Not with any specific reason or purpose. And as its number of the readers grow, in my honest
feeling, I felt a kind of pressure to continue.
In my mind, say in that blank space, there seems to be a designated receptacle for Blog theme.
Therefore, the topics good for this Blog has been saved and it has been actually wrote down to post here.
But, since the day this Blog disappeared from the Syber-space once, on that
moment I thought “It is the sign for me to move this Blog to independent site”, though,
the receptacle for the post or something to write about, has disappeared too.
non
Zen mind is , fundamentally detached from any purpose or aim, it is only there as a product
of needs of the moment and the situation.
When the moment has gone and the situation is no longer there, there can’t be any product.
This is the same reason of me to have [Rule of only ONCE] —– if any short coming has
taken place in a situation, it is the end.
The file dilated. Hence no file to refer, nothing to think or cling.
Any how from the beginning, there was no reason the existence of the file in the first place
—– it was only a product of the moment.
Clinging the same idea or thinking which no longer exists or has a reason to be there, is a delusion.
non
May be the purpose of me to write Blog and to expose the idea under the light had a function to
solidify the vague idea then rationalize it—– and its process was finished.
As a name, DIY Zen suggest, this is a report of one attempt to decipher the Zen mind. It didn’t
follow any traditional method or teaching of a sect. Hence there is no established authority.
Nor me to sell the idea or to organize a group. This Blog was only a sample to see, whether it
is useful to others or not.
non
There is a hilarious story of Zen monks. On the practice of silence, a monk fed up and murmured
“What a hell” so that, another monk shouted “Shut up, don’t you know what we are doing”—– the
third monk quietly said “I’m the only one still in silence”.
To write about “There is nothing to write about” —– Ha ha ha.
Yet, this is the funniest part of the DIY Zen Blog.
Since it is the live report of what is the Zen in practice, this is a real report from the front line.
As there is nothing to write about, there is nothing —– how peaceful ! 😀
—– may be now on, I have to write a topics which I’ve made a memo before.

DHARMA is Everywhere
Since I wrote and explained the Dharma in relation to spontaneous compassionate cases in
Japanese Disaster, a reader asked me “Is the Dharma prevails only in such special occasion ?”
—– Of cause not. Dharma is everywhere, where ever you go, always with you.
Simply because, that is how we exist and live.
===
In the sea, there is the Phytoplankton which is fixing solar-energy with their photosynthesis.
(I have no idea how many billions of tons of them all together there.) They are the most fundamental
organism to form the food chain, and they are eaten by the small fishes etc.
And the small fishes were eaten by the larger fishes and so on —–.(And on top of the chain, we eat
them large or small and in fact we are pushing many of them to their extinction )
On the land, the Plants are doing the same, creating themselves, looks out of nothing ( in fact, using
solar energy and the water + somewhat 10 materials ) —– then Herbivorous eat them.
—– In the Yellowstone Park US, now the re-introduced Wolves are regulating the population of
Elk ( kind of Reindeer ). ( When the man hunted down the Wolf, the Elk’s population exploded and
the vegetation has been devastated by the over grazing Elk —– So, man needed to put it back )
===
Those mechanism, so-called Ecosystem and its balance is the part of the Dharma,
so that some people call them as the Natural Law. Of cause, those mechanism are even inside of our
physiology as well, such as called Homoeostasis which controlling and keep the body condition constant.
The Dharma is not just a part of the science BUT crucially it is also a kind of will or direction
to over-see the EXISTENCES.
Why the Nature needs to have the balance ? Or man’s body needs to be kept consistent ?
Because it is the will or direction of the Dharma to the Nature to BE HERE,
and the HUMAN BEING to EXIST. —– Rules / The Dharma couldn’t be explained just with the
Science. Such as The Second law of the Entropy is a direct contradiction to the Creation of the Life.
Why the particular atoms were INTENTIONALLY combined, not dispersed by the Entropy and
became to the Amino Acid and to a Life-form.—– ( It couldn’t be explained just with the Gravity )
( Yet, it doesn’t mean Human being got blank cheque. Since, we are only a small PART of the NATURE )
===
—– So, when we need,we eat we drink, we do the business etc etc —– on top of those fundamental
life’s activities, we form the society, we think and invent and so on, which we calls Culture and the
Civilization. Still we are a part of the Dharma which is inherently keeping the things in balance.
To keep-up and follow those rules of the Dharma, we don’t need to even think about —– even if we
are asleep we still continue to breathe, heart keeps working. So that, even with those very very inventive
Civilization and the incredible level of the Technology, we were still bound to keep fundamental rules
—– we still need to breathe Oxygen not CO2 or any fancy gas.
===
The Human being is, as it is an artificially modified version of the Ape ( generally called Evolved )
having fundamental paradox within.
Basic aspect and the function is still remained as it was originally designed as a part of the Dharma.
Though, the Culture and the Civilization, not mention the Technology which changed the condition and
the environment within few thousands years, are not necessary following the Dharma.
In other words, what Human being invented or created out of their over sized brain –— the result
of their thinking, is often contradictory to the Dharma. ( Imagination can start from purely
imagined base or abstractive idea, hence it can be an utter delusion )
===
As a matter of fact, we Human being is a compound of contradiction and the Paradox.
Therefore, it is having the inherent stress even for Just to be Here. —— ( So that, we are
having unconscious feeling of doubt or question, “ Something wrong. There must be answer
to make the things clear “ which has been driving a man to seek What is the TRUTH )
And this is what Buddha pointed out and taught. —– Better to live humble, simple life, even though
