<p>Anybody who is patient enough to read through all those posts which started  March 09,</p>
<p>may spotted the funny contradictions here and there, this and that.</p>
<p>For instance, at &#8221; Lemon Zen &#8221; I wrote &#8221; While cutting lemon, you have to think</p>
<p>&#8221; I&#8217;m doing  Zen &#8221; &#8212;&#8212; and much later post &#8221; Forget the Buddhism &#8220;.</p>
<p>How come ?</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Buddhism is the wisdom, how to live one&#8217;s life, and change it to achieve one&#8217;s</p>
<p>maximum potential to fulfill the roll ofwhich the one has born to be.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>The process of change is in steps or stage by stage.</p>
<p>But the hard part of this change is, it has to be changed in the person&#8217;s subconscious</p>
<p>level, which is not visible and not easy to manipulate like a piece on the chess board.</p>
<p>So that, on the beginning, you have to start the practice under the tag of &#8221; Buddhism &#8221;</p>
<p>or &#8221; Zen &#8221; and imprint it deep into your subconscious.</p>
<p>Once the file was established and you got used with it as a routine, and on the end,</p>
<p>you have to get rid of even the file name, as it is no longer a part of you but whole of yourself.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Often it was described as a boat to cross the river, you need the boat only on</p>
<p>that stage which you don&#8217;t need to carry after crossing  ( boat is heavy isn&#8217;t it.  🙂  )</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>The process of this, is like a mathematics   -A x -B = +AB.   ( ! ! ! )</p>
<p>First you negate the existence, then apply the negation to its idea itself, so,</p>
<p>everything become + (positive !&#8212;&#8211;but they are not the same as before ).</p>
<p>The first negation was reflected in the Hinayana and the second process is Mahayana.</p>
<p>So that a beginner has to start to learn the denial of ego, greed, desire etc, while following</p>
<p>strict rules and the way of the life to achieve quiet subdued (peaceful) life as a good boy.</p>
<p>Then the Mahayana revolution put the eyes on the ordinary forks on the street, (not the</p>
<p>professional monks)  who has to carry ordinary daily life on, running business, making love</p>
<p>etc etc, as a man was naturally born as it is.  And shifted the emphasis from its appearance</p>
<p>of the life, to the way how the person&#8217;s mind inside works.  Do it in selfless way.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212; Therefore, the solution in  Mahayana can be utterly contradictive in Hinayana.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>As the Buddhism had evolved in its own logics, a person&#8217;s steps follows in similar  way.</p>
<p>Micky couldn&#8217;t be in the Hinayana, but yes it can be in the Mahayana.</p>
<p>Enjoy to be a Micky.  All of your life ahead.</p>

<p>Jharte Jharte Para Jharte, Para sum Jharte Bodhi sowaka.</p>
<p>PS: I&#8217;ve been wondering  many years to find the meaning of this word  Jharte.</p>
<p>One day, I noticed this word was spoken in an  Asian Radio.</p>
<p>So, I asked a man in a news-agency.  He replied &#8221; Oh, its mean, Go Go Go &#8221; ! ! !</p>
<p>( Its same as the call in the Flamenco Dance, Ohlle, Assa or Amajha.     Cool     🙂 )</p>
