«My Koan Horoscope»

(available in Taoísmo en Español)

1. They don't want to be like jade. / No quieren ser como el jade. (Ch.39 / Middle luck)

2. And it serves, supervising all the roots of material beings. / Y sirve, supervisando todas las raíces de los seres materiales. (Ch.21 / Middle luck)

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.

«My Koan Horoscope»

(available in Taoísmo en Español)

1. When a low man hears about Tao, he laughs out loud. (Ch.40 / Bad luck)

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.)

«My Koan Horoscope»

(available in Taoísmo en Español)

1. Advancing Tao seems retreating. / El Tao avanzando parece retrocediendo. (Ch.40 / Tao)

2. No crime is bigger than greed. / Ningún crimen es más grande que la codicia. (Ch.46 / Little luck)

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.

«My Koan Horoscope»

(available in Taoísmo en Español)

1. And can you leave it with no blemish? / ¿Y lo puede mantener sin mancha? (Ch.10 / Little luck)

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.

«My Koan Horoscope»

(available in Taoísmo en Español)

1. Body or money, which is more? / El cuerpo o el dinero, ¿cuál es mejor? (Ch.44 / Bad luck)

2. Heaven is long. Earth is eternal. / El cielo es largo. La tierra es eterna. (Ch.7 / Good luck)

3. Let it work, but don't rely on it. / ¡Déjelo trabajar, pero no dependa en él! (Ch.10 / Little luck)


«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.
