Tao Te Ching Chapter 73-7 I shin den shin / No call


Today's Tao

It doesn't call any, but they come somehow. (Ch.73)


You don't call them.

You don't even say anything.

But they will respond.

They will even come to you somehow.

It sounds like the ultimate form of non-verbal communication such as Hara gei, the belly art.

In the domain of art in Japan, particularly martial art, non-verbal communication is a must.

We call it 以心伝心 [i shin den shin], which means "by heart, transmit heart".

This is a Kanreisu (=a bar or a spring) to better understand Zen.

This Kanji / Chinese character 心 [shin] is often translated as heart or mind.

Like the English word "heart", it also signifies "the center".

The word 心 [shin] suggests the center of the mechanism.

By the mechanism, transmit the mechanism.

In this Tao/hologram mechanism, everything comes about by itself, 自然 [ji nen].

Tao Te Ching Chapter 51-7 By itself


Today's Tao

No one has given them a title or something, but it always so comes about by itself. (Ch.51)


Today we have a Kanreisu (a bar / spring) of Tao and Zen.

You project your hologram, but you are not responsible for it.

We think the society or the world exists outside you, but in fact it exists inside you.

You project your hologram.

But the one who projects it is part of the hologram itself.


In Zen Buddhism, they say:

"是什麼物恁麼来 [ze inmo butsu inmo rai]

Where on earth did this «what on earth» thing come from?"


In your hologram, everything "comes about by itself".

It is 自然 [ji nen].

☞Sometimes, the language you use is crucial. It enormously affects the way you think. The Japanese language is composed of the mixture of Kanji Chinese characters and Hiragana / Katakana phonetic letters. In the olden days, soft-looking Hiragana letters were not considered official or "masculine", and it was women who started using them with imagination and creativity. «The Tale of Genji» is one of the oldest works written by a female Japanese novelist. «The Housekeeper and the Professor» is one of the latest. It is written by an up-and-coming star in modern Japanese literature, Yoko Ogawa. She tells you about mathematics and love.
