<p>And it is well known that the Masonic people has been trying to figure out<strong> the fundamental rule of</strong></p>
<p><strong>the universe in its proportion or mathematical formula,</strong> hence the architectural proportion of</p>
<p>the old temple etc.</p>
<p><strong>Fibonacci number / its rule of consecutive numbers are one of the rules</strong> found in nature &#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>since they thought, it should have the ultimate power of rule of universe. etc etc.   ( It is true, some plants</p>
<p>and its order of distribution of  leaves or seeds on the pod shows certain pattern, hence certain formula</p>
<p>which lead to the discovery of the very Fibonacci number )<strong> &#8212;&#8211; so what ?</strong></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">non</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Unfortunately, there is no such magic formula to solve the trouble in the human life.</strong></span></p>
<p>If the perfect proportion of the old temple have had any mythical protective power of the universe,</p>
<p>it couldn&#8217;t have been destroyed.</p>
<p>It is a tendency of the dream of lazy and yet greedy man &#8212;&#8212; to grub the power and the fortune</p>
<p>by tricking using the simple and easy formula &#8212;&#8211; and believing such things could ever exist.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Non</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Of cause, Buddha taught no such things could ever exists, and such idea is nothing </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>but a delusion. </strong></span>&#8212;&#8211; though, some Mahayana Mantras having many fancy super natural stories.</p>
<p>A man who read Diamond Mantra and wanted to gain such super natural power, asked me to teach</p>
<p>the secret of Zen. (since he believed I&#8217;ve got it &#8212;&#8211; how nice complement 😀 )</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">non</span></p>
<p>Give a thought or two to what Buddha taught &#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Fixed formula which got only few parameters only works to the fixed, limited condition.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Buddha said, nothing stays permanent and keep changing moment to moment = out of </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>reach of any fixed formula.</strong></span></p>
<p>Such formula is a product of our poor thinkings &#8212;&#8211; how we can rely such idea<span style="color:#000080;"><strong> when the author,</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>ourself is unreliable.   Even its existence is not certain.</strong></span></p>
<p>Above all, what is the intention to get such secret formula for &#8212; to get the good result quick ?</p>
<p>To get power and the fortune in easy way ?<span style="color:#000080;"><strong> = What a greed and the arrogance.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Such greed or arrogance negates any virtue of the Buddhism.<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p>One Buddhists sect recruiting the people saying “Get happiness quick“&#8212; though, such idea to appeal</p>
<p>the people&#8217;s greed negates Buddhism itself.   ( You can see, despite they are taking a lots though they</p>
<p>are the most miserable people &#8212; only able to repeat what was written in the book, and thinking  Happy)</p>
<p>Strange Paradox of  Goodness in the  Buddhism only came  out of  absolute nothing. From No expectation.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">non</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Buddha didn&#8217;t give an answer to many questions</strong></span> &#8212; long time myself has been thinking, because</p>
<p>it was not necessary for us to know, &#8212; though I realized, it was the very answer Buddha intended to give.</p>
<p>The answer itself is a notion, whether it was said by Buddha or not.  When the notion itself and</p>
<p>the condition based upon it couldn&#8217;t exist in a fixed form, <span style="color:#000080;"><strong>there couldn&#8217;t be</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>a fixed answer = no answer is the very answer.</strong></span></p>
<p>&#8212;&#8211; Then all the another pieces of his teachings fallen into the jigsaw &#8212;&#8211; that&#8217;s why the clear eyes to</p>
<p>see the Dharma is essential <span style="color:#000080;"><strong>= Dharma itself is not fixed entity, it changes a moment to moment</strong></span>,</p>
<p>hence the flow of response is essential. The free mind, not cringe to any fixed idea, away from any</p>
<p>deluded idea or belief is essential<span style="color:#000080;"><strong> = Mind of No-Mind is the key to see the Dharma.</strong></span></p>
<p>Its mean, the compliance to the situation is the matter.<span style="color:#000080;"><strong> See the situation as it is.</strong></span></p>
<p>And the response on this moment may not be the same to a response a moment ago.</p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Its mean, there is no fixed formula. Or no-formula is the ultimate formula.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>No quick fix with anticipation exists.</strong></span></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry with bad anticipation, until its happened, it hasn&#8217;t happened yet.</p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>When it&#8217;s happened, then, take best action &#8212;&#8211; as long as you keep your eyes clear,</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>the situation you see is far better than misguided anticipation.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Flexible structure is much stronger even in an earthquake.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>This is the Buddhism.   Buddhists never miss the moment.</strong></span></p>
