<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong> which I may give a help. &#8212;&#8211;</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong>non</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>“I just giving you a help since I think there was a Karma behind of this encounter. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>No other reason”</strong></span></p>
<p>( The reason why I needed to say this, is because of a lot of cases people mistook “ There must be a hidden</p>
<p>intention” &#8212;&#8211; Don&#8217;t make me laugh.   Dubious relation would bring much more risqué )</p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>It&#8217;s mean it is just a passive reaction = If it was in the Karma, it is the absolute = no choice.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Eventhough,  giving a help, sometime having quite a complicated heavy task = the work</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong> required serious concentration = so-called Mindfulness &#8212;&#8211; it needs to have quite heavy</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong> commitment = active involvement )</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">non</span></p>
<p>It is obvious, even if it started seemingly by chance = passive, it end-up with quite active involvement.</p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;">&#8212;&#8211;<strong> This is the inherent paradox in Zen Buddhism.</strong></span></p>
<p>You are born to this world without your consent or choice at all.  Absolutely non. <span style="color:#000080;"><strong> This is the Karma.</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>So that you are absolutely passive and no escape.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Yet still, once you are up on the ring = You got to fight with your full force.</strong></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>This is the FUNDAMENTAL  NATURE of the LIFE.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Buddha did simply pointed out this fact.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">non</span></p>
<p>Buddhism is not his invention.   It is the TRUTH which is always there though,  we simply don&#8217;t want to</p>
<p>face straight.   That&#8217;s all.</p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>When Buddha saw this Truth straight, he noticed that knowingly live with this Truth, the Life</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong> would be much lighter as it doesn&#8217;t carry heavy burden of ignorant expectation or delusion.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Four Noble Truth in the Buddhism Teachings which was taught since his earliest teaching is,</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong> all about this Truth.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Then Buddha taught further into the mechanism of how Karma and the Dharma works.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">non</span></p>
<p>Strange myth of the Buddhist is that they are<strong> peaceful people hence, passive and soft touch.</strong></p>
<p>It is wrong.   If the life is just for passiveness,<strong> there couldn&#8217;t be any achievement = just random</strong></p>
<p><strong>momentary this and that.</strong></p>
<p>Karma comes not by chance &#8212;&#8211; it shows direction,  that is why it is Karma.</p>
<p>You got to embrace the Karma in its full extent. ( But without the ego which was emanated from inside</p>
<p>of yourself &#8212;&#8211;<span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong> Karma comes somewhere else,  Ego boreout of yourself </strong></span> )</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">non</span></p>
<p>If the universe is only following<strong> The Law of Entropy</strong>, everything  (in fact even a thing couldn&#8217;t be existed in</p>
<p>the first place ) was just dispersed and only the space of nothing has expanded.</p>
<p><strong>But there was the Gravity</strong> ( don&#8217;t ask me where it came from &#8212;&#8211; even a top scientist doesn&#8217;t know) which</p>
<p>configured the energy into the matter, then more and more matters created the particle, and more particles</p>
<p>into as the atom, then even larger heavier atoms &#8212;&#8211;&gt; and so on.</p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>The direction of creation created the Lifeforms on the end. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>This system of the Rules is the Dharma.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>To create something, it needs to DO.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">non</span></p>
<p>When you DO, you got to do &#8212;&#8211; otherwise nothing would happen, nothing would be achieved.</p>
<p><strong>It got to be highly active process.</strong></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Be an active Buddhist.   Don&#8217;t be just sitting there    😀</strong></span></p>
