«My Koan Horoscope»

(available in Taoísmo en Español)

1. Thanks to this emptiness, the room is useful. / Gracias a este vacío, la habitación es útil.
(Ch.11 / Emptiness)

2. I have big trouble because I have my body. / Tengo un gran problema porque tengo mi cuerpo.
(Ch.13 / Emptiness)

3. Though we can't understand him, let us force ourselves to picture what he is like. / Aunque no podemos entenderlo, debemos esforzarnos en describir lo que es. (Ch.15 / Bad luck)


«Interpretation»

Emptiness - Emptiness - Bad luck. Do you wonder who you are psychologically? Do you wonder what you are socio-economically? Do you wonder if the oriental Nothingness really exists? Isn't it contradictory? You might suspect that behind the enigmatic oriental smile they are hiding something and inventing a religious machine to steal occidental money. Well, I personally understand your spiritual irritation and financial frustration. Today's Koan Horoscope will answer your questions once and for all. Nothingness = Tao = Buddha = Love = True You. Your body and mind are not true You. They are part of your holographic world like mountains, rivers, and lands. But don't despise your hologram (=room) because it is the manifestation of Tao (=emptiness). Your trouble is part of the hologram like your body, so accept it with plenty of Love/Tao. If you are aware that the trouble is part of a hologram, it must be easier to accept it as the catalyst to stimulate the circulation of Love/Tao. Tao projects Hologram. Hologram stimulates Tao. While projecting Hologram, Tao emits itself. It is called Nothingness because there is neither space nor time in Tao. Is it difficult to picture this mechanism? If so, just remember this: "Buddha and you are the same." (Zen Master Dogen, Genjokoan 現成公案, «Shobogenzo»)
