«My Koan Horoscope»

(available in Taoísmo en Español)

1. Knowing himself is enlightenment. (Ch.33 / Emptiness)

2. The next is the one that they despise. (Ch.17 / Middle luck)

3. Tao gives birth to this. (Ch.51 / Good luck)


«From Yama Uba»

You are singing about me!

But you don’t care!

«Interpretation»

Emptiness - Middle luck - Good luck.

Do you wonder if they know what they are talking about when they talk about Tao or Zen? Do you wonder if they truly care about Tao or Zen while they academically study it? Do you wonder why they are so desperately looking for Satori the enlightenment while they don't know anything about it in reality. Do you wonder if they know that living is Satori the enlightenment when they complain ignorantly that Satori is too difficult for ordinary people to achieve? One has to learn what Self is. Or rather, one has to learn that the so-called self does not exist. But can you do it while speaking a language that requires a subject in a sentence?

«My Koan Horoscope»

(available in Taoísmo en Español)

1. Tao is to the world under the sky as streams and valleys are to big rivers and the sea.
(Ch.32 / Good luck)

2. Many people are having fun as if they were invited to a feast or as if they went up to a terrace in spring. (Ch.20 / Good luck)

3. Taste no taste. (Ch.63 / Good luck)


«From Yama Uba»

Oh, it doesn’t matter if she is a witch or a human.

But if she is an old woman living in the mountains, precisely it is about me.

«Interpretation»

Good luck - Good luck - Good luck.

Are you jealous of people having fun? Do you feel insulted if you are not invited to a feast at your friend's house? Do you wonder once in a while why your family treats you as a black sheep? Do you feel they avoid you at a dinner party as if you were a witch or an old woman living in the mountains? Are you once in a while incapable of tasting food because of isolation and solitude at dinner? "Taste no taste," says Lao Tzu. But what does he mean by this sad imperative? Yama Uba has the answer to the questions. It doesn't matter if your life is Tao or a hologram (Your life is a series of holograms, which are the manifestation of Tao/Love/Buddha). Tao is the source of your holographic life as streams and valleys are the source of big rivers and the sea (and vice versa). Now, we have to know the real meaning of «Taste no taste.» It means: "Taste the taste of Tao through every moment of your life and cherish it."

«My Koan Horoscope»

(available in Taoísmo en Español)

1. After they start cutting things, there are names. (Ch.32 / Bad luck)

2. I alone don't move. There is no sign yet. (Ch.20 / Tao)

3. Tao never has any desire, so we can name it Small. (Ch.34 / Tao)


«From Yama Uba»

Hag

Right!

One can think that a hag is an old witch in the mountains.


«Interpretation»

Bad luck - Tao - Tao.

Do you wonder if you have to be analytical? Do you think that without surveys and researches you will never be successful in business? Do you wonder if you have to do something? Do you think that you have to act in order to improve this world? Do you wonder if desire is the basis to get this society advancing? Do you think that greed is good? Without greed, our economy might die, you think? If so, you are the kind of person who thinks without doubt that a hag is an old witch in the mountains. You see just the phenomena, not the dynamics behind them. You see just names, not the reality.
Watch out!
In Shintoism, they traditionally teach their spiritual history when the economy doesn't work.

«My Koan Horoscope»

(available in Taoísmo en Español)

1. Three gives birth to everything. (Ch.42 / Emptiness)

2. The high make the low their basis. (Ch.39 / Tao)

3. Twisted therefore complete. (Ch.22 / Tao)


«From Yama Uba»

Valet

Of course, she does.

Everyone knows that a hag is an ugly old witch in the mountains.

«Interpretation»

Emptiness - Tao - Tao.

Do you wonder why you are so ugly? Do you wonder why the others are so beautiful? Do you wonder why you are so unlucky? Do you wonder why the others are so lucky? Do you wonder why this world is so full of inequality? Do you wonder why the world is full of injustice? "Twisted therefore complete," says Lao Tzu. Aren't you judging yourself by the criteria that are created by the media or someone else? Something low is closer to Tao. Tao doesn't have a face. You should know that you don't have a face in reality. That is to say, your so-called self is not yours. Once you accept this fact, your life will be much easier. Have you ever seen your face without relying on the reflection on the mirror, water, or something alike?

«My Koan Horoscope»

(available in Taoísmo en Español)

1. Having lost righteousness, there is politeness. (Ch.38 / Little luck)

2. One who uses people well puts himself lower than them. (Ch.68 / Good luck)

3. The weak beats the strong. (Ch.78 / Middle luck)


«From Yama Uba»

She doesn’t know what she is singing about.

She doesn’t know what a hag really is.


«Interpretation»

Little luck - Good Luck - Middle luck.


Do you wonder why some people are so confident that what they are doing is absolutely righteous? Do you wonder why some people are so impolite that they even criticize a polite person for not being Taoist-like? Do you wonder why some people are desperately trying to be better than others? They even try to be better disciples than others. What for? You may wonder if they don't know that the weak beats the strong eventually. For they don't know what they are singing about. Do you know what you are singing about? You are singing the song of the dragon. It is the song of Tao. The song is your hologram. Behind all the holographic phenomena, there is Tao who is projecting them. Do you know what Tao really is? It is true You: the circulation of the fundamental "light".
