Tao Te Ching Chapter 16-4 Go back


Today's Tao

I see them go back again. (Ch.16)


Holograms are illusions.

Nevertheless, they are truly precious because they are Tao's manifestations.

Every time we receive Tao the fundamental energy through holograms, it goes back to the state before they were created.

The state is called Bumo misho izen in Zen Buddhism.

-While Ikkyu seemed more a poet thatn a Zen Buddhist, Ryokan was a Zen Buddhist and poet at the same time. It is well known that he adored the fleas and lice that inhabited his clothes. In the post-washlet Japan, it is hard to imagine a  religious poet like him in terms of hygiene level and selflessness.
