http://nikkoszafu.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

When I say "Then what am I? I do not even see the finger pointing at the sunset. Links to this post. Tao Te Ching (Tsu).

Thursday, December 13, 2007. Treat All Emotions As If They Were Your Own Children. When happiness comes embrace it; because (suffering) is everyday" - Ratu. Sometimes we are ambushed by our emotions from the moment we wake up, when feelings of irritability, confusion or listlessness dog us throughout the day.

Silent water [buddhism and haiku]. Wednesday, November 09, 2005. Dharma: The Three Marks Of Existence. Gautama named three marks, that are with everything that exists:. Nothing exists eternally, everything changes all the time. Even people. Whatever one is sticking to, it will change and vanish some time. Everythin that exists ist not perfect, to live is to suffer. The possibility of the end of suffering is shown by Gautama in his Four Noble Truths. There is no seperated I, Soul or Existence.
