Our contemplations...”

You know that feeling?
You know that feeling? When you’re just waiting. Waiting to get home, into your room, close the door, fall into bed, and just let everything out that you kept in all day. That feeling of both relief and desperation. Nothing is wrong. But nothing is right either. And you’re tired. Tired of everything, tired of nothing. And you just want someone to be there and tell you it’s okay. But no one’s going...

The Dead Man's Answer
When Mamiya, who later became a well-known preacher, went to a teacher for personal guidance, he was asked to explain the sound of one hand. Mamiya concentrated upon what the sound of one hand might be. “You are not working hard enough,” his teacher told him. “You are too attached to food, wealth, things, and that sound. It would be better if you died. That would solve the...
dreamland's
“Our schoolmaster used to take a nap every afternoon,” related a disciple of Soyen Shaku. “We children asked him why he did it and he told us:
‘I go to dreamland to meet the old sages just as Confucius did. When Confucius slept, he would dream of ancient sages and later tell his followers about them’.
It was extremely hot one day so some of us took a nap....
Not incrementing, not decrementing
It is recorded that once, when Master Foo was iterating along a beach, he came upon two of his disciples arguing by a computer processor. “It is subtracting positive 1”, declared the first. “No; it is adding negative 1”, asserted the other. Master Foo answered them thus: “Not incrementing, not decrementing — Equalizing!” whereupon both were...

you discover the real truth
There is a joke that cuts to the heart of this issue: “When you are in your 20s, you are very concerned about what people think about you. When you are in your 30s, you don’t really care that much about what people think about you. And when you get into your 40s, you discover the real truth: Nobody was even thinking about you at all.”
Relationships
“Relationships - of all kinds - are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold on to some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain...
How Spiritual Partnership Replaces Relationship...
How Spiritual Partnership Replaces Relationship “Communication” Good relationship communication is great, if you already have it. But “communication” tends to focus on problems, on the weak parts of your relationship. And how often have you talked over a problem and felt worse afterwards? In Spiritual Partnership, instead of focusing endlessly on relationship...

“The majority of well adapted individuals have lost their own self at an early age and replaced it completely by a social self offered to them by society. They have no neurotic conflicts because they themselves… have disappeared.” — Erich Fromm
"stinking rich".
We all have heard the expression “stinking rich”. But how rich is “stinking” rich? I think we will get a rough idea after reading the following true incident which occured sometime in the 1990s, before SMSs and e-mails became common and the postal department was still fully functional: An Arab’s son goes to Cambridge to study. After about a month, he sends a letter...
