Communication through writing

 There is an anecdote that the last work of an old scholar was to translate a book he wrote in English into Latin. He said he wanted to prevent the meaning of his writing from being understood differently than he intended. For reference, in English, most words have several different meanings, while in Latin, a word has only one meaning.
 I once discussed one matter through writing with an old friend who had moved to a foreign country. The result was not good. Eventually, I decided that it would be better not to convey meanings through writing. Since then, I have tried to convey meanings through writing to some people, but the results were not good, either.
 The key to good communication is questions and answers. You should ask the opponent if your understanding of the person's words or writings is the same as the person's will. If you don't, you will probably have different or incorrect understanding or judgment from the meanings that the person tries to convey through speaking or writing.

The teachings of the Buddha

 The teachings of the Buddha were nutritional supplements at that time. However, the teachings have been wrongly preserved, so that they are poison now.

Suicide and its result

 You will not become comfortable by committing suicide because of the hardship of the reality. Although suicide can kill the life of the flesh, the soul is still alive. What is worse, after death, you will experience much more painful things.

The Numbers and What Exists

 Just as a person who does not know the numbers can’t solve mathematical problems, a person who is incapable of seeing what exists does not understand problems in the world.
 Socrates could be one of the four Great Teachers of mankind owing to knowing that he did not properly appreciate what exists in the world. 'Know yourself.' It means you need to know yourself who can't see things as they are. To the people of the world, it is nothing but words. Even though they cannot see things as they are, they say and act under the illusion that they can.

When you do not match reality

 There are times when frustration and despair arise when you do not fit reality. You must overcome those hard times with hope, will, and effort.

Consciousness and education

 Whether consciousness is good or bad is determined by whether the quality of education is good or bad.
 The relationship between consciousness and education is like the relationship between seed and ground. In order for seed to grow well and bear good fruit, it must be a basic premise to be planted in good soil. Likewise, consciousness requires good education.

To see what exists is

 To have become to see what exists means that you have become to live in the world by your own will.
 Things of the world are not made or changed by human beliefs or ideals. The basics of life are to look at things that exist in the world as they are and to judge and act. When you see exactly what exists, you can see how you can accomplish what you want. In other words, you can live your life according to your own will.

Living

 Our future exists in our living. You should not try to live a life in a difficult way. If you know the world, things of the world are easy, and if you don’t know the world, things of the world are difficult.

Bad conscioussness and high degree

 People have a great negative impact on their society if they have high academic background in the state that they hadn’t enlightened themselves and so have got bad consciousness.
 Not being enlightened means not being abel to see things in the world as they are. The consciousness of those who do not know things of the world is bad. These people can also gain a high degree through excellent memorizing skills, repeated efforts, or faulty social systems.
 Those who have a high academic background and are having a major negative impact on society are easily and so much seen in the current reality.

To know

To know that you do not know is to know that you cannot see what is in existence. Ask yourself what you know.

Through life

If you can see nothing and know nothing through life, your life is meaningless.

Wrong Knowledge

 From the window where the steam is standing, the outside cannot be seen properly. For humans, wrong knowledge is the steam. Just as the thicker the steam, the harder it becomes to look out, and the more wrong knowledge, the harder it is to recognize things in the world.
 One of the most representative of all wrong knowledge is the saying, ‘Humans must read books as many as possible.’ As matter of fact, however, there are so many books that contain wrong information. If you do not have the ability to distinguish between false and good knowledge, it is better not to read books.
 Like the saying, ‘Humans must read books as many as possible’, there are too many false informations that we believe are right. Check again what you believe is right. Doing this is more for yourself than any other being.

Difference between words of those who can see and words of those who cannot

 There is a huge difference between what those who can see things of the world say and those who cannot see the things say. In case they both speak similar words, the former can confirm their words in the world, but the latter cannot. In other words, if you want to know the truth of someone's words, you can see through confirming if they can be identified specifically in the world.

Truth

 Accepting truth will brighten your mind and enable you to live a good life.
 Ethics, laws, common sense, and systems created by humans contain many errors. Because of this, individuals and society are dark and sick. Learning things in the world based on truth, not lies, can create a better life and a better world.

A good world and a bad world

 A good world or a bad world is created by people in the world.
 The good world speaks of the bright world and the bad world speaks of the dark world. In a bright world, the world is literally all bright, so you can see everything that happens as it is. The criteria for right and wrong are clear, so bad things are judged bad and right things are judged right. In a dark world, nothing is visible, so anything can happen.

To reveal what exists

 It is never welcome to reveal what exists. But we must make constant efforts because this is the way for ourselves and humanity.

Wednesday 5 February 2020

Distored subjective judgments

 In order not to spend life in vain, we must try to enlighten ourselves about what exists.
 People do not try to understand facts as they are, but judge the facts in the light of their own thoughts. Examples are distorted subjective judgments about the faults or mistakes of family members or lovers, corruption of politicians they support, hypocrisy of religious leaders they believe, wrong common sense, etc. These judgments make everyone unhappy.

People in the world

Right and Wrong

 Without right and wrong, a good world will not be made. What people must be taught is right and wrong.

Good life is for oneself

 It is for oneself to live a good life.
 I have mentioned on 'absolute selfishness' before. The most precious thing in the world is oneself. The best way to make one's most precious self better is to make others better. Making others or society better without harming them is not only for others or society, but ultimately for oneself.
