143. ( Zazenyojinki - Dogen Zen - Zazen, Soto-Zen, Japan And Israel) Zazen clears up the humanbeing mind immediately and lets him dwell in his true essence. This is called showing one's natural face and expressing one's real self. It is freedom from body and mind and release from sitting and lying down. So think neither of good nor on evil. Zazen transcends both the unenlightened and the sage, rises above the dualism of delusion and enlightenment, and crosses over the division of beings and Buddha. Through zazen we break free from all things, forsake myriad relations, do nothing, and stop the working of the six sense organs. http://www.zenki.com/Keizan01.htm

Zazenyojinki (Points to Watch in Zazen) Chapter 8 (from the book: Soto Approach to Zen) Introduction Keizan, the founder of Sojiji wrote this manuscript, while he was staying at Yokoji , a temple in Ishikawa prefecture. Dogen, in Fukanzazengi gave the basic rules for zazen, but Keizan made these rules more explicit. In Zazenyojinki he goes into such details as choosing a sitting place, precautions against weather, harmony of breathing, and ways to calm the mind. Zazenyojinki even covers sitting posture, eating habits, proper clothing, inhaling and exhaling, psychological condition, and sitting rules. It thus gives the trainee a detailed set of precautions for nearly all-foreseeable problems. Together with Fukanzazengi this work provides a base for Soto Zen practice. The trainee will find here all he needs to avoid the major pitfalls of zazen. Manzan (Dohaku (1636-1715) published Zazenyojinki in 1680 and wrote an introduction for it. Since then the work has prompted a number of commentaries - the most famous being one by Shigetsu Ein (died 1764) called Zazenyojinki Funogo. Text (Zazenyojinki) Zazen clears up the human-being mind immediately and lets him dwell in his true essence. This is called showing one's natural face and expressing one's real self. It is freedom from body and mind and release from sitting and lying down.

144. Enlightenment II The enlightenment Continental. Among Germans, the enlightenment was studiously academic. Development of the German universities http://www.philosophypages.com/hy/5d.htm

Philosophy Pages F A Q Dictionary ... Locke The Enlightenment: Continental Among Germans , the Enlightenment was studiously academic. Development of the German universities fostered a preference for synoptic philosophizing: the goal of German philosophers was often to combine rational and empirical elements in a single comprehensive system. Both Leibniz and Christian Wolff had tried to develop complete metaphysical systems that could explain the phenomena of nature in rationalistic terms. Lessing fondly recalled the metaphysical monism of Spinoza , and Moses Mendelssohn mounted a lofty defense of the immortality of the human soul. But many of these efforts ignored the force of Hume 's skeptical arguments, rather than responding to them constructively. The greatest philosopher of the German Enlightenment, Immanuel Kant , took a different approach. In France, the skepticism promoted by Bayle helped to promote opposition to the church and to encourage political revolution. The Encyclopedists and "free-thinkers" of the eighteenth-century sought to undermine confidence in established social positions of every sort. Voltaire's , for example, was a brilliantly mocking voice that aimed to deflate any and all claims of certitude. If we agree that god exists, he supposed, we must then face the severe difficulties presented by the existence of evil in the world. (In

Information Literacy as a Liberal Art Enlightenment proposals for a new curriculum By Jeremy J. Shapiro and Shelley K. Hughes Sequence: Volume 31, Number 2 Release Date: March/April 1996 What does a person need to know today to be a full-fledged, competent and literate member of the information society? As we witness not only the saturation of our daily lives with information organized and transmitted via information technology, but the way in which public issues and social life increasingly are affected by information-technology issues - from intellectual property to privacy and the structure of work to entertainment, art and fantasy life - the issue of what it means to be information-literate becomes more acute for our whole society. Should everyone take a course in creating a Web page, computer programming, TCP/IP protocols or multimedia authoring? Or are we looking at a broader and deeper challenge - to rethink our entire educational curriculum in terms of information? According to Condorcet, the spread of knowledge through the improvement and democratization of education would contribute directly to political freedom and human happiness. The Enlightenment's conception of the link between knowledge, liberty and happiness - a conception that is reflected in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution but is now widely under attack by postmodernists, technocrats and political conservatives - raises profound questions for those of us involved and concerned with not only the implementation and uses of information technology but with providing for knowledge and literacy about this technology.

Immanuel Kant: "An Answer to the Question 'What Is Enlightenment?'" You may first want to consult the introduction to this reading.] Enlightenment is a person's emergence from his self-sustained dependency "Dependency" is the inability to make use of one's intellect without the supervision of another. One's dependency is "self-sustained" when its cause lies not in defect of intellect but in lack of the decisiveness and courage to make use of one's mind without the direction of another. Sapere aude! "Have the courage to make use of your own mind!" is thus the slogan of the Enlightenment. Laziness and cowardice are the reasons why so great a part of humanity prefers to remain in a lifelong condition of dependency long after Nature (granting them majority in years) has freed them from management by others - and why it is so easy for these others to put themselves forward as their guardians. It is so comfortable to be dependent. If I have a book that understands for me, a pastor who has a conscience for me, a physician who prescribes a diet for me, and so on, I don't need to bother myself. There's no need for me to think when I can just pay: others will take over the whole irksome business for me. That by far the greater part of mankind (and among them virtually the whole of the fair sex) regard the step to independence, quite apart from its difficulty, as dangerous - this is something quite deliberately arranged for by those guardians who have so kindly assumed the burden of supervising them. After first having reduced their domestic animals to

Osho To speak the truth they will have closed mouths. Nostradamus(1555)C5Q96 Out of thousands of seeds only one tree is born. Out of millions of sperm only one flips the ovarian switch to turn on an infant's life. Though the potentials for life are abundant, the critical mass of fulfillment of those potentials is atomically small. The mystics believe the same law works in the evolution of human consciousness. Billions of humans have been born, each carrying within the shell of their personality the potential flower of Christ-consciousness. They are Gaia's near-countless seeds falling upon her earthly cradle. Billions live and die considering themselves blessed if the wings of existence scatter them upon barren, rocky fields of orthodox behavior. Only a tiny proportion of humankind ever reaches a full flowering. The critical mass of enlightenment can be defined as the smallest number of awakened human beings whose collective influence can initiate a significant shift in global consciousness. The process of creating enough enlightened ones to achieve this critical mass can be likened to the transformation of coal into diamonds. The pressure of surrounding human unconsciousness creates an urgency in the potential enlightened one to awaken from illusion. The total weight of so much unconscious 'carbon' exerts a tremendous pressure, through which a few coal stones reach the appropriate mass to become 'diamonds.' These awakened beings embody the crystal clarity of enlightened consciousness which can transform the level of consciousness of the entire planet.

159. FUKANZAZENGI The way is completely present where you are, so of what use is practice or enlightenment? However, if there is the slightest difference in the beginning between you and the way, the result will be a greater separation than between heaven and earth. If th slightest dualistic thinking arises, you will lose your Buddhamind . http://www.dx.sakura.ne.jp/~kameno/zazen/fukan.html

FUKAN-ZAZEN-GI Now, when you trace the source of the way, you find that it is universal and absolute. It is unnecessary to distinguish between "practice" and "enlightenment." The supreme teaching is free, so why study the means to attain it? The way is, needless to say, very far from delusion. Why, then, be concerned about the means of eliminating the latter? The way is completely present where you are, so of what use is practice or enlightenment? However, if there is the slihtest difference in the beginning between you and the way, the result will be a greater separation than between heaven and earth. If th slightest dualistic thinking arises, you will lose your Buddha-mind. For example, some people are proud of their understanding, and think that they are richly endowed with the Buddha's wisdom. They think that they have attained the way, illuminated their minds, and gained the power to touch the heavens. They imagine that they are wandering about in the realm of enlightenment. But in fact they have almost lost the absolute way, which is beyond enlightenment itself.

160. Surveyors Of The Enlightenment By Rick Moody They move first south and then west, surveying the boundary line and its tangents, and as they go, the enlightenment replaces the Gothic and Renaissance wisdom http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/97jul/pynchon.htm

Return to the Table of Contents. J U L Y 1 9 9 7 Thomas Pynchon's powerfully symbolic language gets us beneath the rhetoric of our pretensions by Rick Moody by Thomas Pynchon. Holt, 773 pages T HE novelist Robert Coover, speaking of influences in American fiction, once remarked that apprentices of his generation found themselves (in the 1950s) grappling with two very different models of what the novel might be. One, Coover said, was Saul Bellow's realistic if picaresque Adventures of Augie March ; the other was William Gaddis's encyclopedic Recognitions . Writers my age (mid-thirties), however, don't have the luxury of a choice. Our problem is how to confront the influence of a single novelist: Thomas Pynchon. Despite the reputation of Pynchon's magnum opus, Gravity's Rainbow (1973), many of my contemporaries came to him through his earlier work. His first novel, V. (1963), is mostly concerned with the search by one Herbert Stencil for a woman or place, or concept referred to in his father's journals simply by this initial. The action of the novel which also takes up Stencil's father, a network of European spies, and a Whole Sick Crew of American Navy wastrels goes as far afield as turn-of-the-century Egypt, southwest Africa during the First World War, and Malta after the Second World War, dealing along the way with contemporary Americana up and down the Eastern Seaboard.
