Hitting with the stick is request by the monk; it's to be meant as a massage to keep you awake. After hours and hours of zazen (sitting meditation) it's usefull.
Usually, the monk is hit because he has obviously fallen asleep or let his mind wander from the purpose of meditation: the whack is to get him back to concentrating on the here and now. The whack is a dramatic prompt and the monks actually may thank the bat man for the hit.
@ Hi, I'm 24 and currently reading "Zen mind, beginner's mind". It's actually my first book on zen (after I've read a book by Thick Nhat Hahn that concerned rather on Silence itself). Roshi Suzuki appears very well respected among zen buddhists, I've heard even Steve Jobs had the opportunity to practice with him. Since you remember Shunryu Suzuki personally, how was he? Can you describe his personality?
I have became a zen Buddhist and it is the best thing I have ever done in my life. Buddhism is the truth and the way of life. Let us live the next one better then this one :) 💖🌍

I used to be a buddhist (zen) and today i'm a christian , and there is some parallels between the two in its view of human nature . I'd like to shortly share with you what the core message of the bible is and its natural to start with a verse that is called John 3,16 which says : "For so did God love the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life . " So why did God have to "give His Son" ?? It's because God created humans to be a reflection of himself and His nature which is perfect love and compassion but instead in our free will we fell from God in disobediance and our nature actually altered into what we are today and as you buddhists know we do not do all of our actions with a intention out of perfect uncoditional love , which is Gods nature , no instead we often have a egocentric intention and in the beginning of the bible were it describes mans fall into sin it says : "And God saw that mans INTENTION were evil all day long and it grieved God that He had created man" So because God is a holy and just/good God He could not be around man anymore once we became inpure and because of that He withdrew Himself from us , but even if God hates sin He loves all humans unconditionally so that is why He sent Jesus , to do what we couldn't do and that is to live our lives fully according to Gods will from cradle to grave in unconditional love compassion and kindness , Jesus did this and this is actually visible when Jesus dies on the cross when he prays for His murderers He says : Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing . Bible says that God laid all the worlds sin on Jesus, so by faith in Jesus we can receive forgiveness for our sin and be saved , saved from what ? The consequences of our sin which is that we are enemies of God because of our sinful actions and ultimatly it a day will come were God will judge all sinners in the afterlife , just like society judges criminals because they do things that is deemed unacceptable / evil . Last quote from the Bible is : Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life
@@a11an72 Christ also said I and My Father are One. the BIBLE is a religious Roman literary writing- a sort of parable about the laws of man: old coven-ant (law) < new coven-ant (law). God is All including the fallen man, the risen man, the god-man, and the devil. Also, God is not holy- God is Wholly.... I and my Father are One and anointed with the "holy spirit" that all souls/soles on the universal earth receive in the commercial seas of all democratic republics (their number), the three become the Whole, united in oneness, and that is how Christ calmed the stormy sea and walked on water.

Alternate one or the other each time you sit. Of course there is no requirement to sit full lotus - be careful, don't hurt yourself. Half-lotus or burmese are also good positions.(:

Very educative. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you.
Is the world as it appears to be, or is there some further reality beyond appearance? Plato's allegory of the cave, from The Republic, is one of the most famous and beautiful expositions of the difference between appearance and reality. Using Socrates as his mouthpiece, Plato argues that empirical knowledge amounts to no more than knowledge of appearances. In fact, he claims, our perceptual knowledge is at least thrice removed: it is merely knowledge of the shadows of illusions of reality.
It is to help the sitter to aid them if they are feeling tired or sleepy. Usually done starting on the third day of a 5 or 7 day sesshin retreat, when the tiredness sets in. Though, at the California temple I attended, you had to specifically request it by doing a gassho. It really helps to return to the body from the wandering dreaming mind. Too bad this tradition is now becoming taboo, I thought it was a very deep practice, and intense emotions would wash through all the sitters when one sitter was receiving the kyosaku, and would help to remember that sesshin is a group effort. Though this kyosaku whacking is pretty intense compared to the gentle whacks I received.
This is how Zen is introduced to foreigners and Japanese beginners... In some serious dojo they keep hitting your back before you ask, so your back will be purple in a few days. And verbal and physical violence such as punch in the stomach or grab your head and slam your nose on the table when you make any subtle mistake or even without it is regular (I know a monk whose nose is broken). Better appreciate the aesthetics and koan literature from outside, if you are not ready for the violence.
Hello Asian Art Museum, great video! I am working on a film that has a section of different techniques teachers use and I'd love to use a few seconds of this video to cover Zen. Could I get your permission to do so?

It's only natural that things have come full circle for me. Firstly, I humbly offer my take on the Koan about Bodhidharma:"why,or what was his energetic action when coming from the west"? To pull out rotten teeth and dropping gold at one's feet. Next is the ancient Koan by The Buddha: "The finger is not the moon". Perhaps an apocryphal backstory is possible: 'While a yogi and yogini sit in rapt contemplation in a snow banked mountain cave; both of them did little else than repeat the sentence: the finger is not the moon. And so taking pity on them, the moon in it's capacity to do so, intimated to the both of them these: "Ah, dear ones, show me your finger I'll show you mine". A little while later, and quite emboldened they each exited the cave to tell their teacher of their insight. And so, several inches above the ground they strode across the blue snow beneath the light of the full moon.
Zen meditation is dhyan meditation bro , teached by ancient indian gurus to others , bodhpatra , bodhidharma were from india and they came to china when chinese people invited them for helping them , they gave the dhyan meditation to chinese and chinese people couldnt pronounce dhyan so they called it chan and when the word chan spreaded towards japan they called it as zen . everything in the world have vedic roots , om namah shivaya 🔱🕉🙏🏻
In this century, monk use cash to exchange for food, bc not everyone carry food with them on the road. Buddhism is about adapting what surrounding them. just don’t put eyes in it.
The Master of Zen Buddhism teaches students the immortal mind, but similar to find those who can refuse. Therefore assigned him to take on the role of next master, showing that the masters of Zen Buddhism did not believe the immortal mind as Mahayana Buddhism. A reason for the Master of Zen is In the past, those who did not believe in immortality mind were punished by ruling power, making teaching Anatta dangerous.
It's not a search for meaning, meaning is of the mind therefore dualistic, whats the meaning of a flea... it just is. We don't find the answers, we lose the questions
I remember when I used to think that Zen Buddhism was some kind of profound philosophy and path. I studied and practiced for years. I found it ultimately to just be a convincing head game. its relentless believe in karma and reincarnation/rebirth, and even in its belief in enlightenment, all of these are just mental concepts that Buddhism puts in your head. and the way they talk about mindfulness as if this is some kind of really special thing to do and that it is the ticket to enlightenment, all of this is just mental mythology. its all just Buddhist beliefs. Zen is just a head game that plays with words.
Mr. Grosbeak, it is even more weird then you think. The universe exist within the timeless continuum, thus Karma and Rebirth do not exist in a linear fashion, but each in its "Ever Present Moment Now" in timelessness. Karma exist through that timeless continuum, so what you do now everyday in this life, may positively or negatively affect a life you are living in another existence. We are much more than what we believe we are. Religion has always screwed this up, because most do not understand that our universe is timeless. They cannot fathom the depth of our involvement in all of it. Einstein knew this !
this is to Rumpel Stiltskin, you made a reply to my comment but evidently you deleted it. I still have the whole thing in my social mail RUclips. so I've read your reply several times. I found it to be thoughtful, something I had no idea of before. it actually was a game changer for me on how I think about that subject matter. so thank you very much for your reply. I don't know why you deleted it. maybe you were foreseeing some kind of negative response on my party. be that as it may, thank you.
grosbeak His message is still there; I see it. I think one of the keys Zen tries to do is decondition the mind in all of its confusions. Consider for a moment most of our suffering is entirely in the domain of thought: it's not what happens that makes us suffer, but what we think about it. To consider an example, traffic: is it itself an issue? Not until it's thought about and compared to an image we call "ideal". And so long as what we think in ideals is never what's actually going on, we struggle with the goings on for our thoughts on what should be or ought to be. It absolutely is head games, but it's a head game to come out of your mind and return to your senses, to not be lost in thought, but to be aware of the present happenings going on, which you as an organism are flowing in. It also deals with that illusory ego, self, or soul with free will that we think we have, that is the real "I" as we normally perceive, only to see it for a pure fiction that has no reality. Knocking that away gets rid of the major psychological obstacle to living a life more engaged with the goings on than being lost in thought and attached to images over reality.
@@grosbeak6130 in Zen there is no beliefs about anything even reincarnation. It is to escape the mind essentially that is how you reach peace. Beliefs in reincarnation can cause suffering as they are pseudoscience

no one cares what some Buddha did. It does not change our lives at all. If you see the Buddha kill the Buddha. Modern Buddhism is completely corrupt - apart from Zen.
Sounds like the venerable Peter Coyote narrating. There is nothing like taking the cushion at 445am on the 5th day of a 7 day sesshin, then seeing the dawn break and the roosters crow and the morning dew glisten.
*Well. Practicing Zen Buddhism is actually practicing the Pacceka Buddha's path. One who enlightens without definition and ends up without definition. He comes to know but in fact he can't share a single knowledge what he knows. He has knowledge but limited in the core of itself. It's not useful to help others, without definitions.* Learn about Three Types of buddhas and you'll find it. Don't follow anything blindly. Pacceka Buddha is unable to teach a single word.
And what does it do for them? Make them mindful that they are beggars, instead of participating in the world, such as making something that can be sold in the market so as to support themselves. Do their little enclaves actually produce anything of value for the larger civilization they are a part of ? NO ! They set themselves up as advisers who believe because of their meditations, it sets them apart. IE: You can't be an adviser unless you can convince the ignorant that what you do or what you say is far more valuable to the individual than to the society as a whole. So? What? They'll search for years for an answer which only the old man can tell them is the correct answer to the Koan, and thus their ego tells them they have reached an enlightenment, or just another level on the path. It is always a game the old play against the young. I'll tell you this though; Age is not where wisdom comes from, as wisdom is inherent within the individual. You do not need to meditate upon a Koan for weeks, months, or years. The answer you give is for you alone and not what another tells you it "Should Be". The path my friends is to communicate with each other about the feelings you feel and the thoughts you have. That reflected upon, is where wisdom comes to play in your life. Only your own thoughts are what are gospel to you. Do not buy into what another tells you unless you can intuit the truth of their words, thus making them yours. So how can you tell you know the truth? YOUR FEELINGS !

The consequences of our sin which is that we are enemies of God because of our sinful actions and ultimatly it a day will come were God will judge all sinners in the afterlife , just like society judges criminals because they do things that is deemed unacceptable / evil .
Last quote from the Bible is :
Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life

@@a11an72 Christ also said I and My Father are One. the BIBLE is a religious Roman literary writing- a sort of parable about the laws of man: old coven-ant (law) < new coven-ant (law). God is All including the fallen man, the risen man, the god-man, and the devil. Also, God is not holy- God is Wholly.... I and my Father are One and anointed with the "holy spirit" that all souls/soles on the universal earth receive in the commercial seas of all democratic republics (their number), the three become the Whole, united in oneness, and that is how Christ calmed the stormy sea and walked on water.

How to do full lotus posture.?
Is it first left leg putting then right leg ?
Or is it first right leg putting in one thigh then left leg?
Or any one is known as full lotus?
Guide me
Alternate one or the other each time you sit. Of course there is no requirement to sit full lotus - be careful, don't hurt yourself. Half-lotus or burmese are also good positions.(:
สุดยอดมาก เลื่อมใสเลยคะ 🙏❤
If it is too heavy, just leave it down.🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊
If you want intense practice go to Gyobutsuji Zen Monastery or Antaiji :)
Michael Christopher thx
it is too short a clip to show what adherents of zen buddhism do follow, and too easy to claim they do not follow the teachings of the Buddha without pointing out what they do not follow my friend.

Fascinating! I will study more about it.
Do you know actually zen meditation is originated from india , "zen" is actually "dhyan" word from sanskrit language , when bodhpatra and bodhidharma accepted proposal of chinese people to help them and stay in china they gave them the dhyan meditation form , as chinese couldnt pronounce as dhyan , they called it as chan , which later got spreaded to japan and japanese pronounced it as zen .
Very educative. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you.
1:30, the zen slap.
Thanks lol

Most would agree. That is why most people just call it "Zen".
Some call it "Ch'an".
Some call it "Dhyana".
Some call it "Dhyana".
Some call it "Ch'an".
Is the world as it appears to be, or is there some further reality beyond appearance? Plato's allegory of the cave, from The Republic, is one of the most famous and beautiful expositions of the difference between appearance and reality. Using Socrates as his mouthpiece, Plato argues that empirical knowledge amounts to no more than knowledge of appearances. In fact, he claims, our perceptual knowledge is at least thrice removed: it is merely knowledge of the shadows of illusions of reality.

Why did he or she get hit at 1:25?
It is to help the sitter to aid them if they are feeling tired or sleepy. Usually done starting on the third day of a 5 or 7 day sesshin retreat, when the tiredness sets in. Though, at the California temple I attended, you had to specifically request it by doing a gassho. It really helps to return to the body from the wandering dreaming mind. Too bad this tradition is now becoming taboo, I thought it was a very deep practice, and intense emotions would wash through all the sitters when one sitter was receiving the kyosaku, and would help to remember that sesshin is a group effort. Though this kyosaku whacking is pretty intense compared to the gentle whacks I received.
This is how Zen is introduced to foreigners and Japanese beginners...
In some serious dojo they keep hitting your back before you ask, so your back will be purple in a few days.
And verbal and physical violence such as punch in the stomach or grab your head and slam your nose on the table when you make any subtle mistake or even without it is regular (I know a monk whose nose is broken).
Better appreciate the aesthetics and koan literature from outside, if you are not ready for the violence.
Hello Asian Art Museum, great video! I am working on a film that has a section of different techniques teachers use and I'd love to use a few seconds of this video to cover Zen. Could I get your permission to do so?
Do you know actually zen meditation is originated from india , "zen" is actually "dhyan" word from sanskrit language , when bodhpatra and bodhidharma accepted proposal of chinese people to help them and stay in china they gave them the dhyan meditation form , as chinese couldnt pronounce as dhyan , they called it as chan , which later got spreaded to japan and japanese pronounced it as zen .
It's only natural that things have come full circle for me. Firstly, I humbly offer my take on the Koan about Bodhidharma:"why,or what was his energetic action when coming from the west"? To pull out rotten teeth and dropping gold at one's feet. Next is the ancient Koan by The Buddha: "The finger is not the moon". Perhaps an apocryphal backstory is possible: 'While a yogi and yogini sit in rapt contemplation in a snow banked mountain cave; both of them did little else than repeat the sentence: the finger is not the moon. And so taking pity on them, the moon in it's capacity to do so, intimated to the both of them these: "Ah, dear ones, show me your finger I'll show you mine". A little while later, and quite emboldened they each exited the cave to tell their teacher of their insight. And so, several inches above the ground they strode across the blue snow beneath the light of the full moon.
Zen meditation is dhyan meditation bro , teached by ancient indian gurus to others , bodhpatra , bodhidharma were from india and they came to china when chinese people invited them for helping them , they gave the dhyan meditation to chinese and chinese people couldnt pronounce dhyan so they called it chan and when the word chan spreaded towards japan they called it as zen . everything in the world have vedic roots , om namah shivaya 🔱🕉🙏🏻

I study the Zen Buddhist art and teach to students
Monk are not supposed to take cash - 1 of precepts, seems that they change as well.
Harnas31 wrong. bhikkhus don't take money. east and South Asian Buddhism are two different entities.
Money is just a form of energy exchange ...form is emptiness, emptiness is form.
In this century, monk use cash to exchange for food, bc not everyone carry food with them on the road. Buddhism is about adapting what surrounding them. just don’t put eyes in it.
I'd hate to see what is meant for punishment.
Samsara.
How can hitting someone with such speed can send him or her to enlightment, since it could break ones consiousness easily!🙄
My friend teo likes this could invite him to your training facilities
The Master of Zen Buddhism teaches students the immortal mind, but similar to find those who can refuse. Therefore assigned him to take on the role of next master, showing that the masters of Zen Buddhism did not believe the immortal mind as Mahayana Buddhism. A reason for the Master of Zen is In the past, those who did not believe in immortality mind were punished by ruling power, making teaching Anatta dangerous.
Zen is actually derived from word dhyan , indian practices are best , try it mate i am very happy i shifted to india
It's not a search for meaning, meaning is of the mind therefore dualistic, whats the meaning of a flea... it just is. We don't find the answers, we lose the questions
I remember when I used to think that Zen Buddhism was some kind of profound philosophy and path. I studied and practiced for years.
I found it ultimately to just be a convincing head game. its relentless believe in karma and reincarnation/rebirth, and even in its belief in enlightenment, all of these are just mental concepts that Buddhism puts in your head.
and the way they talk about mindfulness as if this is some kind of really special thing to do and that it is the ticket to enlightenment, all of this is just mental mythology. its all just Buddhist beliefs. Zen is just a head game that plays with words.
Mr. Grosbeak, it is even more weird then you think. The universe exist within the timeless continuum, thus Karma and Rebirth do not exist in a linear fashion, but each in its "Ever Present Moment Now" in timelessness. Karma exist through that timeless continuum, so what you do now everyday in this life, may positively or negatively affect a life you are living in another existence. We are much more than what we believe we are.
Religion has always screwed this up, because most do not understand that our universe is timeless. They cannot fathom the depth of our involvement in all of it. Einstein knew this !
this is to Rumpel Stiltskin,
you made a reply to my comment but evidently you deleted it. I still have the whole thing in my social mail RUclips. so I've read your reply several times. I found it to be thoughtful, something I had no idea of before. it actually was a game changer for me on how I think about that subject matter.
so thank you very much for your reply. I don't know why you deleted it. maybe you were foreseeing some kind of negative response on my party. be that as it may, thank you.
grosbeak His message is still there; I see it.
I think one of the keys Zen tries to do is decondition the mind in all of its confusions. Consider for a moment most of our suffering is entirely in the domain of thought: it's not what happens that makes us suffer, but what we think about it. To consider an example, traffic: is it itself an issue? Not until it's thought about and compared to an image we call "ideal". And so long as what we think in ideals is never what's actually going on, we struggle with the goings on for our thoughts on what should be or ought to be.
It absolutely is head games, but it's a head game to come out of your mind and return to your senses, to not be lost in thought, but to be aware of the present happenings going on, which you as an organism are flowing in. It also deals with that illusory ego, self, or soul with free will that we think we have, that is the real "I" as we normally perceive, only to see it for a pure fiction that has no reality. Knocking that away gets rid of the major psychological obstacle to living a life more engaged with the goings on than being lost in thought and attached to images over reality.
What is "it" that asks and remembers? ^^
@@grosbeak6130 in Zen there is no beliefs about anything even reincarnation. It is to escape the mind essentially that is how you reach peace. Beliefs in reincarnation can cause suffering as they are pseudoscience
Madness personified and exposed …. No Zen for me thanks, after this eye-opener.

Well narration....

Boom, ur enlightened

Very good.
@grosbeak You mean you studied the outward form of Zen Buddhism while never reaching into its inner essence. A bad workman always blames his tools.
No past, no future, no present! Practice zazen!!!

Buddha was born in Nepal but got enlightenment in India!
no one cares what some Buddha did. It does not change our lives at all. If you see the Buddha kill the Buddha. Modern Buddhism is completely corrupt - apart from Zen.
In then time their no Nepal existing only bhartversha existing 🔴
I had to watch this for school I was shocked to see the head monk smack him.
He's giving a warning before hitting 💢 with the stick.

Sorry origin of Buddhism in nepal not india
Earlier , Nepal was India , so eventually Buddhism was originated in India (:
lord Shakyamuni got enlightenment in India,taught his teachings in India,lived and died in India,so Buddhist origins are in India

*Well. Practicing Zen Buddhism is actually practicing the Pacceka Buddha's path. One who enlightens without definition and ends up without definition. He comes to know but in fact he can't share a single knowledge what he knows. He has knowledge but limited in the core of itself. It's not useful to help others, without definitions.* Learn about Three Types of buddhas and you'll find it. Don't follow anything blindly. Pacceka Buddha is unable to teach a single word.

4hrs sleep...
they practice very long hours of seated meditation which has similar benefits as sleep so they dont need to sleep that much
0:16 YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU *DU DUM DUM DUM*
Well i am too sceptic so i don't believe in such bullsh**... But let's be honest this looks kinda fanatic
I don’t really think there’s much believing or faith involved. It’s more of just a way of life /perspective in life
And what does it do for them? Make them mindful that they are beggars, instead of participating in the world, such as making something that can be sold in the market so as to support themselves. Do their little enclaves actually produce anything of value for the larger civilization they are a part of ?
NO !
They set themselves up as advisers who believe because of their meditations, it sets them apart. IE: You can't be an adviser unless you can convince the ignorant that what you do or what you say is far more valuable to the individual than to the society as a whole. So? What? They'll search for years for an answer which only the old man can tell them is the correct answer to the Koan, and thus their ego tells them they have reached an enlightenment, or just another level on the path.
It is always a game the old play against the young. I'll tell you this though; Age is not where wisdom comes from, as wisdom is inherent within the individual. You do not need to meditate upon a Koan for weeks, months, or years. The answer you give is for you alone and not what another tells you it "Should Be".
The path my friends is to communicate with each other about the feelings you feel and the thoughts you have. That reflected upon, is where wisdom comes to play in your life. Only your own thoughts are what are gospel to you. Do not buy into what another tells you unless you can intuit the truth of their words, thus making them yours. So how can you tell you know the truth? YOUR FEELINGS !
+Rumple Stiltskin See, I don't agree with the zen buddhists, but to me your way seems illogical and unreasonable.
+Rumple Stiltskin There is nothing to BE done! That is the non point of THIS...
Feelings are fleeting and temporary which means truth based on feelings is fleeting and temporary, therefore, feelings are not truth.
Have your comments made the world a happier place?
Feelings tell us otherwise. ^^
