5. Hologram

[Chapter 5 / English Translation] - click the line to watch the related video.
Heaven and earth have no mercy.

They treat everything as straw dogs.


The sage has no mercy.

He treats everyone as straw dogs.


Between heaven and earth, isn't it a bellows?

It's empty, but will never be exhausted.

The more it moves, the more comes out.

The more words you use, the more exhausted you get.

The best way is to stay empty.


Rapid Decoded
The world doesn't judge because it doesn't know dichotomy.

You shouldn't judge. You should forget dichotomy.

The world is a hologram projected between heaven and earth.

It's empty, but full of energy.

The more energy you give to it, the more energy you receive from it.

The more words you use, the more energy you waste.

The best way is to stay in the state before things are projected. The state is called Tao.

Read Yama Uba the Zen play


☞Franz Kafka's hero metamorphoses into an insect. Soseki Natsume 夏目漱石 desperately needed some escape from his reality after he had fallen into depression. He wrote "I am a cat 我が輩は猫である" and metamorphosed into a successful novelist. A very entertaining novel!

-"Frustrated?"


  Why don't you think the other way 
  round?

-"I am not happy about how I look."

  There are a few things to think
  about.

-"Are you scared of seeing your
  reports?"

  To forget about statistics.

-"We need to change our way to
  grow foods."

  If you are interested in organic
  foods, read about a modern-day
  Lao Tzu.

-"People talk about Zen, but what
  the heck is it indeed?"

  Zen is nothing special. It is
  something you know well.

-"I am desperate. I need some
  solutions right away."

  No worries.
  Here is a practical method.

-"I am confused when people tell  
  me to face reality. What is it?"

  A good question!
  Zen masters have been tackling
  the question for ages, but our old
  man knows the answer.
