Of religions, sects and those sorts II. This brings forth another human aspect that can easily turn into a flaw. The need to prove one’s self right, even if everybody suffers. This list could naturally be led on without end, leading from one human facet to the next, but understanding these is what enlightenment about. Posted by Boab dweller.

From the Far East. Musings on our travels and the adventures of daily life in Japan. Saturday, May 31, 2008. Since we've been here, we've collected about ten times more plastic grocery bags than we need to line our trash cans. Recently, however, our grocery store solved that problem for us as they started to charge 5 yen (about 5 cents) per plastic bag in order to be more environmentally friendly. So we decided to do our part and buy a "My Basket" from the store. Tuesday, May 27, 2008. Days and months ar...

Monkey Bread: The reemergence of distraction
http://breadforthemonkey.blogspot.com/2008/11/reemergence-of-distraction.html
Just a few crumbs for the hungry monkey lurking within you. Have you discovered it yet? Or is it still in hiding? Feed and you will find. Saturday, 1 November 2008. The reemergence of distraction. Thrust back into everyday life of study, earning money, personal projects and social commitments it has become increasingly obvious how maintaining an ordered, clear and structure basis for the mind is difficult. I for one still struggle but at the same time improve, hopefully every day. Posted by Boab dweller.

Monkey Bread: November 2008

Just a few crumbs for the hungry monkey lurking within you. Have you discovered it yet? Or is it still in hiding? Feed and you will find. Sunday, 23 November 2008. Expriment N°3: Nothing. Some meditation techniques, especially the Zazen in Zen Buddhism, work towards a state of nothingness. A state of the mind in which no thoughts circulate, nothing pops up or in, there is just serene silence of thought. This state may seem absolutely unachievable if you think you know your mind as popping up with random ...

Just a few crumbs for the hungry monkey lurking within you. Have you discovered it yet? Or is it still in hiding? Feed and you will find. Monday, 13 August 2007. I would like to try and explain the perception of enlightenment or of fulfilment. It can never be fully explained in words, images or art. It is similar to feelings. Nobody can understand an emotion until they have truly experienced it themselves. But even then, it is not quite like any other experience. I do hope I could spark an idea of the in...
