Ah, thank you. I had been wondering why people were apologising for going over three sentences specifically. Jundo, could perhaps a link to this post be placed in the Recommended Threads each week, with the 'Re-MINDer on SIMPLICITY' (which is similar but does not mention/explain the three sentences 'rule' or the acknowledgement of running long)?

Yes Jundo, I am at fault again with four or five too long sent. I will work more at your request for Lay people to keep it short.

Was going to reference this one. Certainly the most "Zen."

A rather dedicated Trekkie though I am, I had to look this up.

Actually, this description explains one of the main reasons that many Zen Koans seem so hard ...

FIRST OFFICER: Darmok? Rai and Jiri at Lungha.

DATHON (shrugs): Shaka. When the walls fell …

FIRST OFFICER: Zima at Anzo. Zima and Bakor.

DATHON (firm) Darkmok at Tanagra.

FIRST OFFICER: Shaka! (indicating situation) Mirab, his sails unfurled.

DATHON: Darmok.

...

Shaka, when the walls fell is a likeness of failure for the Children of Tama. ...

Picard calls it metaphor, and Troi calls it image. For the Federation crew, the Tamarians cite examples that guide their understanding of and approach to the various problems they encounter on a day-to-day basis: as Picard puts it, by citing “a situation similar to this one.” Science fiction often plays with alternate methods of linguistic understanding, and this is familiar territory: The alien is incomprehensible, but in a way that can be overcome through reason and technology.

Missing references, missing communication

Thanks for the Star Wars link, not that I understood the conversation there either. I am new to this site and not a Trekkie; therefore the references to Sokath, Darmok and Jalad fell on deaf ears.
I mistakenly thought they were terms from Hindu cosmology, like Shinjen or nebutsu that I have yet to learn.

Um the first grave precept, also called the Treeleaf Prime Directive, is utter devotion to Star Trek!! (not the new stuff either) hahaha

Yes this is quite a parallel to Koan study isn't it? Leave it to Star Trek.

This episode is so revered by ST fans that they always play it at conventions. Along with the Inner Light, another episode that I think of often in relation to Impermanence.

I don’t understand prime directive said? Why is it important to Zen? Instead of a matter of centuries to voyage to another star system isn’t that what hope is for a peace in the future? The connection between and Zen? Show us our way. Let us see Reality is not attainable but we can keep trying. We cannot but we save all sentient beings or is it free? Which do you want: this prime directive stay away from others?
