Today's Tao
Going back to the root is called stillness. (Ch.16)
To return the root, which is Tao, is easy.
Use Reverse Thinking.
It is a simple technique.
All you have to do is to switch the cause and the result.
You can easily go back to the state of stillness, the state before the things are projected in your hologram.
Reaching the state is called Satori in Zen Buddhism.

-The Japanese adore Jizo. He doesn't preach us. He doesn't impose us his dogma. He likes to be in the place which people don't pay attention to. But he is always there. He is there to help us when we really need help. For most Japanese, he doesn't belong to theoretical Buddhism. He is part of animism. Jizo is a good friend of all the kids like Hello Kitty, Doraemon, Pikachu, Yugi-o or Naruto.
