Tao Te Ching Chapter 27-7 Things = Prayers
Today's Tao
He helps things very well. So, he abandons no things. (Ch.27)
Don't break things. They also have souls.
Don't waste their lives when you eat animals or plants. Chew them well and assimilate them into your body completely.
Don't hit the keys on your computer too hard even though you are frustrated.
Don't you hear their cry? "Please, master, don't hit me like your enemy."
Like living beings, objects are prayers.
When you accept them as they are, you turn the prayer wheel.
In order to give you opportunities to turn your prayer wheel, everything exists.
So, don't abandon things, please.

-Tattoo is beautiful especially when it is engraved on the skin of a beautiful woman. Jun'ichiro Tanizaki wrote a short story called «Shisei», which means tattoo. Later, Yasuzo Masumura made a film called «Irezumi», which also means tattoo. Ayako Wakao, the actress whose back was the shrine of the spider tattoo in the film, was an ideal woman to embody the beauty. Who else can do it!
