 Coolness: 49855 | Buddha's Lankavatara Sutra
-------------------------- There are four kinds of Dhyana (spiritual disciplines), what are these four? They are, first, the Dhyana practiced by the ignorant; second, the Dhyana devoted to the examination of meaning; third, the dhyana with Suchness for its object; fourth, the Dhyana of the Tathāgatas (Buddhas). What is meant by the Dhyana practised by the ignorant? It is the one resorted to by the Yogins who exercise themselves in the disciplines of Sravakas and Prayekabuddhas (contemplatives and 'solitary Buddhas' of the Hinayana school), who perceiving that there is no ego substance, that the body is a shadow and a skeleton which is transient, impure and full of suffering, persistently cling to these notions, which are regarded as just so and not otherwise, and who, starting from them, advance by stages until they reach the cessation, where there are no thoughts. This is called the Dhyana practiced by the ignorant. What is then, the Dhyana devoted to the examination of meaning? It is the one practised by those who, having gone beyond the egolessness of things, beyond individuality and generality, beyond the untenability of such ideas as 'self' 'other' and 'both' which are held by the philosophers, proceed to examine and follow up the meaning of the various aspects of Bodhisattvahood. This is the Dhyana devoted to the examination of meaning. What is the Dhyana with Tathātā (or Suchness) as its object? When the Yogin recognizes that the discrimination of the forms of egolessness is mere imagination and that where he establishes himself in the reality of Suchness there is no rising of discrimination--this I call the Dhyana with Suchness for its object. What is the Dhyana of the Tathāgata? When the Yogin, entering upon the stage of Tathāgatahood and abiding in the triple bliss characterizing self-realization attained by noble wisdom, devotes himself for the sake of all beings to the accomplishment of incomprehensible works--this I call the Dhyana of the Tathāgata. |

 Coolness: 132320 | le vieux chat
Autrefois, à l'époque du Japon féodal, le Shogun du moment était confronté à un gros problème : dans sa demeure, un rat particulièrement fort tenait tous les chats en échec ; aucun d'eux n'osait se frotter à lui. Pour trouver une solution, le Seigneur de la Guerre envoya ses messagers dans les quatre coins du comté. Ainsi, il apprit que dans le village voisin vivait un vieux chat, exceptionnellement doué pour occire les rats, quelque soit leur gabarit. Après les politesses d'usage, le tigre de salon fila tout droit devant la cheminée d'où il ne bougea plus. Dès le lendemain, le rat vint le narguer, en passant ostensiblement devant lui, en roulant des épaules. Le vieux chat daigna à peine ouvrir les yeux pour le regarder. L'autre, imbu de sa force et de son agilité, se rapprocha de plus en plus... toujours pas de réactions. Avec le temps, le Shogun devint d'humeur maussade, car son tueur tant réputé se comportait davantage comme un squatter, nourri et logé de surcroît. Quand le rat passait devant le matou, il ne prêtait même plus attention à lui, tout occupé à organiser ses razzias. Jusqu'au jour où le vieux chat le foudroya d'un coup de patte, un atémi en pleine poire suivi d'un coup de dents pour briser la nuque. Quand le Shogun rentra chez lui, il vit le cadavre à l'entrée, et le vieux chat au coin du feu, comme à l'accoutumée... comme s'il ne s'était jamais rien passé.

qui sait se qui arrivera , tu a noter un compte japonais. tu doit donc etre au courant qu'il est sottise de de vouloir arriver avant darriver. yin-yang ne traite pas la question, tan que la situation ne survient pas. et le tao nous prepare a tout ce qui peu survenir. |

| Coolness: 74560 | Kitano Gempo, abbot of Eihei temple, was ninety-two years old when he passed away in the year 1933. He endeavored his whole like not to be attached to anything. As a wandering mendicant when he was twenty he happened to meet a traveler who smoked tobacco. As they walked together down a mountain road, they stopped under a tree to rest. The traveler offered Kitano a smoke, which he accepted, as he was very hungry at the time.
"How pleasant this smoking is," he commented. The other gave him an extra pipe and tobacco and they parted. Kitano felt: "Such pleasant things may disturb meditation. Before this goes too far, I will stop now." So he threw the smoking outfit away. When he was twenty-three years old he studied I-King, the profoundest doctrine of the universe. It was winter at the time and he needed some heavy clothes. He wrote his teacher, who lived a hundred miles away, telling him of his need, and gave the letter to a traveler to deliver. Almost the whole winter passed and neither answer nor clothes arrived. So Kitano resorted to the prescience of I-King, which also teaches the art of divination, to determine whether or not his letter had miscarried. He found that this had been the case. A letter afterwards from his teacher made no mention of clothes. "If I perform such accurate determinative work with I-King, I may neglect my meditation," felt Kitano. So he gave up this marvelous teaching and never resorted to its powers again. When he was twenty-eight he studied Chinese calligraphy and poetry. He grew so skillful in these arts that his teacher praised him. Kitano mused: "If I don't stop now, I'll be a poet, not a Zen teacher." So he never wrote another poem. |

| Coolness: 132320 | ^ nice & modern - hope a neibour cat hear your cries for your baggy, and leave it on your doorstep.
i read a lot on zen and tao, it takes out a lot of western "drilled" spiritual fears. not necessarly answers all dogma , but in the calm of not questionning myself , time stretch and i enjoy the current moment living on the edge of whats about to happen and what has just happen. |
