Hello from the region of Taiwan!

I just wanted to drop by and say hello. Things in our region have been improving lately and we hope that things are well in Buddhism.

We thank you for your long-standing friendship. Please consider myself as the bridge between our two regions.

I will stop by from time to time. Be well!

All conditioned phenomena
Are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow,
Like dew or a flash of lightning;
Thus we shall perceive them
-Diamond Sutra

Emptiness is a mode of perception, a way of looking at experience. It adds nothing to and takes nothing away from the raw data of physical and mental events. You look at events in the mind and the senses with no thought of whether there's anything lying behind them. This mode is called emptiness because it's empty of the presuppositions we usually add to experience to make sense of it: the stories and world-views we fashion to explain who we are and the world we live in. Although these stories and views have their uses, the Buddha found that some of the more abstract questions they raise — of our true identity and the reality of the world outside — pull attention away from a direct experience of how events influence one another in the immediate present. Thus they get in the way when we try to understand and solve the problem of suffering.

Bodhi Nirvana and Zhen

Whatever living beings there may be —
feeble or strong, long, stout, or of medium size,
short, small, large, those seen or those unseen,
those dwelling far or near,
those who are born as well as those yet to be born —
may all beings have happy minds.

~ The Buddha, Karaniya Metta Sutta

Buddhism, Chenrezig, and Zhen

The Matriarchy of Guan Yin has reached the oft-celebrated achievement of 1 billion population.

May they and all of our nation's peoples strive toward the cessation of suffering and achieve enlightenment in this lifetime.

Earnestly avoid seeking without, lest it recede far from you.
Today I am walking alone, yet everywhere I meet him.
He is now no other than myself, but I am not now him.
It must be understood in this way in order to merge with Suchness.

-Tung-Shan

What were some of the Buddha’s sayings on Anger and Rage?

"The tongue is like a sharp knife, it kills without drawing blood; words in the hands of someone skilled can do more damage than a weapon in the hands of a warrior." - Sutta Pitaka

"Conquer the angry man by love.
Conquer the ill-natured man by goodness.
Conquer the miser with generosity.
Conquer the liar with truth." - Dhammapada

I sat in the countryside one day. I watched those that were happy. Those that were worried. Those that were poor. Those that were rich. Those that were scared. Those that were satisfied. Those that were in love.

That day ended very quickly.

Welcome anger when you have this fear. Welcome it and talk to it. Say hello to your anger. Have more and take as much as you want. We will be here when the anger too will pass.

I don't care if I catch anything
It's fishing that matters
