They are suffering.</p> <p>How to put an end to suffering? For myself.</p> <p>Others can try out my methods if they want.</p> <p>And of course they have to find out their own way.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Yes, as Jobs said, death means having to tell your children what you thought you would have the rest of your life so tell.</p> <p>THere is a temple called Antaiji in Japan. The people there practice zazen that is good for nothing.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>There are people who teach Zen in Singapore. Their names are Vivienne and Boey Wah Keong.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Zazen is good for nothing. It is the way to liberate-save suffering people-human. Suzuki Roshi said that.</p> </article> <aside class="related"> <h2>Related Posts</h2> <ul class="related-posts"> <li> <h3> <a href="/~rogbeer/2020/07/05/sunny/"> updates, quickly <small><time datetime="2020-07-05T00:00:00+00:00">05 Jul 2020</time></small> </a> </h3> </li> <li> <h3> <a href="/~rogbeer/2020/04/05/sunny-morning/"> Q&A for me <small><time datetime="2020-04-05T00:00:00+00:00">05 Apr 2020</time></small> </a> </h3> </li> <li> <h3> <a href="/~rogbeer/2020/03/24/very-late-afternoon/"> A challenge I face in pursuing excellence <small><time datetime="2020-03-24T00:00:00+00:00">24 Mar 2020</time></small> </a> </h3> </li> </ul> </aside> </main> <footer class="footer"> <small> © <a href="https://phtan.github.io/">Tony Chen</a>, <time datetime="2020-07-06T09:02:22+00:00">2020</time>.
