Today's Tao
That's why the sage does the belly but doesn't do the eye. (Ch.12)
You should concentrate on Hara, the belly.
Then, no colours, no sounds, no tastes can fool you.
No superficial thing can fool you.
About the art of the belly, Hara gei, check Tao by Matsumoto / Chapter 3 Hara gei the belly art.
It is interesting especially if you are a businessman in Japan.
Naoto Matsumoto adds:
Though it is useful, this is simply a physical technique like a Kyogen actor's laughter.
We must be aware of it.
Both of them have a certain result in terms of influencing your mind.
Nevertheless, we have to remember that both our body and mind are part of the hologram.
The desire to control our mind physically itself is part of it like the mountains, rivers, and lands, as Master Dogen says.
