    Eastern meets western ,or western meets eastern!

    I just work with from Burma ,Cambodia,and Indonesia.

    They are not rich and unhandiness不便.But they believe Buddhism or Islam.

    They are not talk too much and just work,pray,have love.

    I sometimes feel this is eastern style.

    Sometimes we talk too much! From far east at Japan!

    あなたたちはインターネットで便利に禅を勉強して幸せですね!私もそうです!

        That's great that you can travel to those countries! I would love to travel to southeast Asia at some point in my life. Mexico is the only other country I've visited.

                  Hello,

                  Gratefully worked around the world.

                  Found the happiest doing something worthwhile and sharing.

                  Found the most joyful sitting zazen.

                  Thanks Mr. K.

                      Hello,

                      Reminded of the California professor of philosophy hosting a Chinese Confucian master, who asked, "So what do you think of Western Philosophy?"

                      The master replied, "I think it would be a good idea!"

                        I recall it was Dilgo Rinpoche who commented on the marvelous homes we have for the dead, and the lack of them for the living.

                        That onion article was gold, thankyou Jundo.

                        Mr.K - I was helping a charity convert Phillipine commercial pig pen from concrete and metal into humane natural structure like this; https://www.pig333.com/3tres3_common...pen1_35472.jpg We made teh pigs happier and the people wealthier, it paid for health, education and allowed so many more people to enjoy there family life.

                        The people were humble, hard working and did not waste there breathe. I too admired there way.

                          Ok, that is funny =) Reminds me of the picture I've seen on facebook of Asians with the word "water" tattooed on their arms.
