I'm suffering. They are suffering.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
How to put an end to suffering? For myself.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Others can try out my methods if they want.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And of course they have to find out their own way.

Kodo Suzuki Roshi said that adults have to become like children, and children have to become like adults,
|
||||||
|
for children to grow. Apparently, he said that.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If I were a foster parent of all these lovable children in the world, my impending death is something
|
||||||
|
I have to deal with. Preparations have to be made for other people to help all these children grow,
|
||||||
|
so that my death will not stop their growth.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Yes, as Jobs said, death means having to tell your children what you thought you would
|
||||||
|
have the rest of your life so tell.

THere is a temple called Antaiji in Japan. The people there practice zazen that is good for nothing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There is a person who is helping people to find a suitable livelihood. She also practises Zen. Her
|
||||||
|
book is a work-in-progress. It is predicted to be published in Fall 2017. Her name is Maia Duerr.

There are people who teach Zen in Singapore. Their names are Vivienne and Boey Wah Keong.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
They will do what I amy not have the time to do. At least, they can do what I may run out of time to do.
|
||||||

Zazen is good for nothing. It is the way to liberate-save suffering people-human. Suzuki Roshi
|
||||||
|
said that.

When did it become an assumption that I have to have a password on the
|
||||||
|
Internet or even my desktop-computer? I was inspired to think if
|
||||||
|
something has gone wrong, in the design of Internet-and-computer
|
||||||
|
technologies, when I realised that an engineering problem - how to
|
||||||
|
display certain information on a web-site - could possibly be solved by
|
||||||
|
letting users run commands on the server (as opposed as viewing data on
|
||||||
|
a client) Passwords, levels of privilege, 'admininistrator-rights' -
|
||||||
|
don't all these scream 'I don't trust you. I don't trust others' Now is
|
||||||
|
that what I want in my life, I ask. Do I want to indirectly say 'I don't
|
||||||
|
trust others' every time I use a technology. Or do I want to spend time
|
||||||
|
building (trust in) relationships that arguably are made and broken by
|
||||||
|
(mutual) trust. Does using technology necessarily mean that I have to
|
||||||
|
give up on trust and/or trust-building. Is it possible we could find a
|
||||||
|
new way to use technology so that we find the satisfaction (and
|
||||||
|
intimacy) that comes from a rewarding relationship with a something. A
|
||||||
|
god. A business-partner. So on and so forth.

<h2>A story</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
On the <a href="http://youtu.be/Boc7GZ86Qag">28th of October, 2016 A.D.</a>,
|
||||||
|
I bought <a href="http://litherecords.bandcamp.com/album/lithe001-qu-sub-shaman-ilm-split-ep">a cassette tape</a>
|
||||||
|
at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/litheparalogue">Lithe House</a>.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
On the evening of the same day, as I distractedly looked at the cassette
|
||||||
|
tape, on the bus home, wondering if the cassette deck at my house was still
|
||||||
|
functional, I looked up to see a stranger smiling at me.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
He and I exchanged a few glances. Later, he invited me to his house.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Another evening, at his house, he passed a few more cassette tapes to me.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Will someone value the cassette tapes more than I do?
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Out of curiosity, I am experimenting with a swap to see what value cassette tapes
|
||||||
|
have in a world where technology changes. There will be no money involved.
|
||||||
|
What would people offer in exchange for these tapes?
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
I didn't want to swap, until the cassette tapes started to gather dust
|
||||||
|
at my father's house. Will there be a better use for them?
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
This effort will last for forty-five days, beginning from 9th November,
|
||||||
|
2016 A.D.
|
||||||
|
