«My Koan Horoscope»

(available in Taoísmo en Español)

1. You know all four corners clearly. Are you capable of not knowing anything? / Usted sabe las cuatro esquinas con claridad. ¿Es usted capaz de no saber nada? (Ch.10 / Tao)

2. Therefore, without mind, you can see the surprising Tao. / Por eso, sin la mente puede ver el Tao que sorprende. (Ch.1 / Good luck)

3. Though everything moves, he does not explain it. / Aunque todo se mueve, el sabio no explica nada. (Ch.2 / Tao)


«Interpretation»

Tao - Good luck - Tao. Do you wonder why a certain person hates you? There is no identifiable reason why he (or she) doesn't like you, but he (or she) keeps on telling you and doing the things that get on your nerves. Then, please remember that the world is a hologram that you project. You know everything in Tao's level, but you don't have to know anything in your conscious level. When you accept that your personal «mind» is part of the hologram, you will be surprised that true You are not your «mind», but Tao itself. Now you see that it is useless to analyze why he (or she) behaves like that. Neither you have to explain to the person why his nastiness bothers you. Instead, let's thank him for his hatred because it is part of your hologram.

1. The second one is not to waste any. / Lo segundo es no malgastar nada. (Ch.67 / Tao)

2. Learning constancy is called enlightenment. / Aprender la constancia se llama la iluminación. (Ch.16 / Middle luck)

3. Though the uncarved block is small, no one under the sky can make it his minister very well. / Aunque el bloque sin tallar es pequeño, nadie bajo el cielo le puede bien hacer su ministro.

(Ch.32 / Middle luck)

«Interpretation»

Tao - Middle luck - Middle luck. Why are you interested in learning Taoism, Zen Buddhism, or Shintoism? Do you want to obtain some oriental secret to control the rest of the world? Or, you just humbly want to keep your mind in a calm state while living in a harsh reality of life? I do not discourage you to take either way because you will reach the same conclusion although it will take much longer than the easiest way. «Don't waste any.» is one of the three treasures in Taoism. The enlightenment in Zen Buddhism is called Satori. In fact, they are telling you the same thing: "Accept every moment as it is with gratitude." The true teachings are simple. Do you still want to suffer an exotic mortification?

1. The farther you go away from it, the less of it you know. (Ch.47 / Little luck)

2. Therefore, things sometimes gain by losing them. They sometimes lose by gaining them.
(Ch.42 / Good luck)

3. By doing so, descendants never cease to worship. (Ch.54 / Emptiness)


«Interpretation»

Little luck - Good luck - Emptiness. Do you wonder why you have to live? For what purpose? The answer is simple: to learn yourself. Live your life as meticulously as you can, as if you were a Zen monk who cleans and arranges the gravel in the rock garden of a Buddhist temple. It doesn't matter what you do. It is important how intensely you emit Love/Tao by doing it. This is how you learn your own nature and become a Buddha. That is to say, you will learn that you are Buddha/Tao in reality. Chuang Tzu puts it this way: "When the Attainment peaks, it is the same as the beginning. Being the same means being void. Being void means being big." This is how you keep on recreating yourself. This is the true reincarnation.

1. If you don't learn constancy, you will act stupidly and a calamity will happen. / Si no se aprende la constancia, va a actuar tontamente y una calamidad va a suceder. (Ch.16 / Good luck)

2. I see them go back again. / Los veo regresar de nuevo. (Ch.16 / Good luck)

3. I am alone as if I had left it. / Estoy solo, como si la había dejado. (Ch.20 / Middle luck)


«Interpretation»

Good luck - Good luck - Middle luck. Have you been practicing Tao or Zen for a long time? Have you achieved anything? Particularly, something called Satori? Well, if you are looking for an enlightenment called Satori, your spiritual calamity is happening. You will never get it exactly because you are desperately looking for it. You are stuck in your hologram while seeing all the rest going back to Tao. Please remember: "Above heaven, below heaven, you are alone, who is the only respectable being." Accept your life as a sequence of holograms. You have already left it because from the beginning you were not there. True You are outside your hologram.

2. He remains in its fruit and stays away from the flower. /  [Un gran hombre] permanece en el fruto y se mantiene lejos de la flor. (Ch.38 / Emptiness)

3. If you know constancy, you can accept it. / Si se sabe la constancia, lo puede aceptar. (Ch.16 / Tao)


«Interpretation»

Good luck - Emptiness - Tao. When you die, what's gonna happen later? The Chinese used to think that your spirit soul goes up to heaven and the body soul descends into earth. On the other hand, the Zen Buddhist in Japan think that there is neither life nor death, Fusho Fumetsu 不生不滅. They explain it with the Tao/Hologram cycle, using the expression: "the flowers of manifestation / turn / the flowers of manifestation. (Hokke ten Hokke 法華　転　法華)" That is to say, a hologram projects another hologram (while recirculating Tao's energy). That's why, if you want to transform your world, you have to accept it first. Is it difficult? Then, remember «No life, no death». There is just a hologram, right?

3. I definitely make this the father of teachings. / Ciertamente hago que esto sea el padre de las enseñanzas. (Ch.42 / Bad luck)


«Interpretation»

Middle luck - Middle luck - Bad luck. Do you meditate in Za-zen? Yes? Then, how many hours a day? Three hours? Is it enough? Who asks you to meditate and why, anyway? If you want to be a better Zen Buddhist or Taoist then others, you are trying to shine like jade. Ok. You don't. But for what purpose do you meditate? Do you want to calm yourself down and get back the oneness with the world? "Wrong," Zen Master Dogen says. Please remember that your life is the mirror where Tao/Buddha manifests itself. Tao, which is true You, is the roots of your holographic world. Living is your Za-zen meditation. Besides, let's review Chuang Tzu's explanation about the Nothing/Form cycle at Father of Teachings 1 & 2.

2. No one can protect gold and jade safely if they fill a hall. (Ch.9 / Tao)

3. A criterion returns to be odd. (Ch.58 / Little luck)


«Interpretation»

Bad luck - Tao - Little luck. Have you tried to tell your friends and family about Tao? Have you been ridiculed by them? If they haven't laughed at you, you are not talking about the true Tao, Lao Tzu says. Probably, without being aware, you are talking about something else adapted to the western civilization and, therefore, acceptable to the society obsessed with the political correctness. Don't worry if they laugh at you. Lao Tzu must have gone through the humiliation (if he existed). Your gold is Tao, which you don't have to protect. (Your life is the manifestation of mighty Tao.) Forget criteria invented by others. (Anyway, they are part of your hologram.)

3. Be the valley under the sky. / ¡Sea el valle bajo el cielo! (Ch.28 / Middle luck)


«Interpretation»

Tao - Little luck - Middle luck. When you don't know what to do, whom do you ask advice? A fortune-teller? A psychoanalyst? Or, a financial analyst? But wait a second. Don't waste your time and money on a so-called specialist. Think first about «Advancing = Retreating» and «Receiving = Giving». The world is your catalyst, so, whatever is happening, all you have to do is just sending Love/Tao. It doesn't matter what you do. Therefore, Zen Master Dogen says: "No one can ever do anything evil". It's logical because the one and only raison d'être  of your catalytic world is to stimulate you. Don't be greedy because it is useless in your own hologram. Be empty because you are Tao.

2. This is called the use of other people's power. / Esto se llama el uso de la energía de otras personas. (Ch.68 / Emptiness)

3. The second highest is the one that they are familiar with and praise. / El segundo más alto es lo que conocen bien y elogian. (Ch.17 / Bad luck)


«Interpretation»

Little luck - Emptiness - Bad luck. What is the blemish in your life? Money? Love life? Or, social injustice? In Shintoism of Japan, we think that the biggest blemish is our own Self. For example, you get sick because of your inalleviatable ego. After you rinse it off with water, you get pure again without suffering. In Buddhism, we use Tariki/Other-power and ask Amida Butsu/Amitābha Buddha to take care of the blemish. Love is also useful unless you mix it up with possession and obsession. After all, your egoistic Self is part of your hologram and you can «change» it by sending Tao.

«Interpretation»

You may not like what I am saying, but please give this practice a chance. Please keep on saying "thank you" to everything. Even to your enemy or distress. Do you have a health problem? If so, please try saying "thank you" to your disease. Do you have an infernal debt problem? If so, please have the courage to say "thank you" to your debt. Why? Because life is holograms to have you emit Love/Tao. Besides, there is neither time nor space in Tao, which is true You. You are eternal. Let your hologram work without resistance by thanking it.

Are you upset with a decision made by your government or demagogy distributed by a TV presenter? Just thank it because it is just part of your hologram that exists to stimulate you. Don't be upset by your own feelings excited by anything because they are part of the hologram. Just thank your feelings and accept them because your life and self are just a catalyst.

1. Not governing a country by intelligence does it good. / Favorece un país si no lo gobierna con la inteligencia. (Ch.65 / Good luck)

2. Trustworthy words are not beautiful. Beautiful words are not trustworthy. / Las palabras dignas de confianza no son hermosas. Las palabras hermosas no son dignas de confianza. (Ch.81 / Middle luck)

3. Use its light. Return to its enlightenment. Then, your body's bad luck will disappear. / Use su luz. Vuelva a su iluminación. Entonces, la mala suerte de su cuerpo va a desaparecer. (Ch. 52 / Emptiness)

«Interpretation»

Good luck - Middle luck - Emptiness. When someone criticizes you, saying:"You are an idiot," what will you do? Do you exchange repartee to show your superiority in intelligence? Or you accept his insult, smiling like an idiot? Lao Tzu asks you to be like an idiot, saying:"The smart words are not true." Use your light because you are the light. Learning this is Satori. If you don't have your ego/self, your body's bad luck will disappear.

3. Going back to the root is called stillness. / Regresar al raíz se llama inmovilidad.
(Ch.16 / Emptiness)


«Interpretation»

Good luck - Little luck - Emptiness. When you have doubts and think that it is not worth living in a world with so much injustice, you have to remember the quintessence of Taoism: You are Tao. As Zen Master Dogen say, your life itself is Buddha. Even though your own Self with reason in the head cannot understand it, you are not isolated from the rest of the world. Your Self is the world. Chuang Tzu says: "Do not move". Can you live without moving your body? His words have nothing to do with your body. The sentence means: "Whatever you do, true You are not moving in your hologram because you are Tao."

There are three quotes concerning My Koan Horoscope of Today. They are interesting explanations about the hologram. If you know the rules of the hologram, you can send Love/Tao to the world without resistance.

"Miracle is the tea and rice of a Buddhist." (Zen Master Dogen 道元禅師) --- All the miracles are true because they take place in holograms as you drink and eat in holograms.

"The well looks at the well. The mule looks at the mule. A man looks at the man himself. A mountain looks at the mountain itself." (Zen Master Dogen 道元禅師) Thanks to a hologram, Love/Tao is emitted. Thanks to Love/Tao, a hologram is projected.

"Nothingness has an unlimited storage. Flowers exist. The moon exists. A tower exists." (So Toba / Su Dongpo 蘇東坡) --- Storage = Hologram --- Nothingness = Tao = Love --- Everything exists in a hologram in order to have Love/Tao emitted.

If you understand it, you will not be bothered whether you are rich or poor, strong or weak. Everything exists in order to sustain Tao. True You are not part of your holographic life. You are Tao. If you know it, you don't have to seek for Satori, or the enlightenment, because you are constantly "enlightened" while doing nothing.

«My Koan Horoscope»

(available in Taoísmo en Español)

1. The lowest attainment is trying not to lose attainment. That's why there is no attainment. / El logro más bajo es tratar de no perder el logro. Por eso, no hay logro. (Ch.38 / Emptiness)

2. Movement defeats cold. / El movimiento vence el frío. (Ch.45 / Middle luck)

3. No one can protect gold and jade safely if they fill a hall. / Nadie puede proteger el oro y las piedras de jade seguramente si se llena la sala con ellos. (Ch.9 / Tao)


«Interpretation»

Emptiness - Middle luck - Tao. Why can't you attain Satori of Zen Buddhism even though you are making the biggest effort? Because you are desperately looking for it. You cannot obtain it while you are looking for it. Why? Because it is impossible to get something outside you while you have already got it inside you. Listen to Zen Master Tozan Ryokai's maxim: "When it's cold, make yourself feel cold completely". Your life itself is Satori.

1. The two don't hurt each other. / Los dos no se lastiman uno al otro. (Ch. 60 / Middle luck)

2. The valley attained One and got filled. / El valle logró el Uno y se llenó. (Ch.39 / Emptiness)

3. Therefore, the sage puts himself above people, but they don't find him heavy. / Por tanto, el sabio se pone por encima de la gente, pero no lo encuentran pesado. (Ch.66 / Bad luck)


«Interpretation»

Middle luck - Emptiness - Bad luck. The two, "your own self under your control / Jiko 自己" and "your own self beyond your control / Tako 他己",  don't hurt each other. The emptiness attained Tao and got filled with the energy of Tao/Love, exhibiting a hologram every moment. You have to know that you are the one who is projecting your holographic world, but people in the hologram don't have to know it.

(available in Taoísmo en Español)

1. Heaven surely saves those who send Love, and guards them by sending Love. / El cielo sin duda salva a los que envían el Amor, y los guarda enviando el Amor. (Ch.67 / Emptiness)

2. If people are always afraid of the end of life, I can arrest those who do something strange and end their life. Who dares? / Si la gente siempre tiene miedo del fin de la vida, puedo arrestar a los que hacen algo extraño y terminan su vida. ¿Quién se atreve? (Ch.74 / Good luck)

3. The best way is to stay empty. / La mejor manera es de quedarse vacío. (Ch.5 / Good luck)


«Interpretation»

Emptiness - Good luck - Good luck. The best way of all is to send Love/Tao. What can you «gain» by sending Love/Tao? You can remember that life exists to stimulate you as a catalyst. Life have you send Love/Tao in order to maintain the circulation of Love/Tao. This is the meaning of a Zen master's circle and that of Yin Yang. By sending Love/Tao, you can remember that your own self does not exist. True You are Tao/nothingness.

1. A true warrior doesn't get angry. / Un verdadero guerrero no se enoja. (Ch.68 / Little luck)

2. Big's vessel will never be completed. / El recipiente del Grande nunca se completará.
(Ch.40 / Bad luck)

3. I hear that a person who takes care of his life excellently never meets with a one-horned water buffalo or a tiger while he travels in land. Nor does he wear armors and arms after he entersan army. / He oído decir que una persona que cuida de su vida de manera excelente nunca se encuentra con ni un búfalo de agua con un cuerno ni un tigre, al viajar en tierra. Tampoco lleva ni armaduras ni armas después de haber entrado en el ejército. (Ch.50 / Emptiness)

«Interpretation»

Little luck - Bad luck - Emptiness. Why does a true warrior not get angry? For he knows that his enemies are part of the holographic life. Life is Tao's vessel, which functions as the screen of 360-degree-cinema with Tao's light. One day your life in holographic film will end, but true you never dies because you are Tao and there is no time inside it. Despite your adversities, true you have nothing to do with them.

2. It reduces excess. / Reduce exceso. (Ch.77 / Middle luck)

3. Learn it in the body, and its attainment is true. / Apréndalo en el cuerpo, y su logro es cierto.
(Ch. 54 / Bad luck)


«Interpretation»

Tao - Middle luck - Bad luck. Your big holographic world is the lower reaches of Tao. In other words, you are always in the state of Satori. Tao doesn't like excess. So, in the holographic life, when something reaches an extremity, it changes its direction. Life stimulate you so that you may emit more Love/Tao. Your body exists for this purpose. Understanding this is the attainment of Tao.

«Interpretation»

Emptiness - Emptiness - Middle luck. Tao is the origin of everything. Everything is the origin of Tao, too. Everything is a god. You are a god, too. This is called "yaoyorozu no kami gami 八 百 万 の 神 々 (=Eight million gods) in Shintoism of Japan. Don't move. Rest below everything. It is Dark Depth Female. Thus, all the gods start working. You, included.

1. The highest mercy is doing it and leaving no trace of the act. / La misericordia más alta es hacerlo y no dejar ningún rastro de acción. (Ch.38 / Little luck)

2. If the world under the sky has no Tao, arms and horses appear just outside the capital. / Si el mundo bajo el cielo no tiene el Tao, armas y caballos aparecen a las afueras de la capital.

(Ch.46 / Bad luck)

3. You regard favor as something good. / Uno considera el favor como algo bueno.
(Ch.13 / Emptiness)


«Interpretation»

Little luck - Bad luck - Emptiness. Is mercy good? Is disarmament good? Is favor good? If you want an answer, read the story of Old Sai's horse, please. Life is a mixture of the good and the bad, right? Why? For in fact there is no good nor bad. There is just the act of judging. Let's think what Old Sai might say when you have questions.

2. A non-good man is the resources of a good one. / Un hombre no-bueno es los recursos de un buen hombre. (Ch.27 / Middle luck)

3. This essence, or the root of energy, (as clean as polished rice), is very genuine. / Esta esencia, o la raíz de la energía, (tan limpia como el arroz pulido), es muy genuina. (Ch.21 / Emptiness)


«Interpretation»

Tao - Middle luck - Emptiness. Don't be obsessed with life. How? By accepting: "No life, no death / Fusho fumetsu" (Zen Buddhism). Life is death as a samurai would say. Or, as non-good is good. Everything exists in the Tao/Hologram cycle. You are the root of energy. You are Tao. If you know it, can't you accept life without obsession?

(Ch.57 / Emptiness)


«Interpretation»

Tao - Good luck - Emptiness. "One" means Tao. To exist, everything needs Tao's energy. In fact, everything exists in your hologram whether it is a god or your own body. If you understand it, you don't have to "work" in order to change your holographic world. All you have to do is emit the energy of Tao/Love. Then, Tao is richer than before, right?
