Short story: The Zen master knew when to call it a day, and not force things against his own soul's wishes for him, and his life

emptychair @innertalks (23540) • Australia 22 Feb

The old Zen master had been struggling with the decision of whether he should keep being the head monk at his monastery, as he was getting old now, and to his annoyance, his memory was not what it was anymore. He knew that...

Forcing authorities to take action

Judy Evans @JudyEv (372729) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Feb

Australia has its ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation); Britain has its BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) and I’m not sure what other countries have. These stations are meant to be above the influence by political...

Shiva It is good to have investigative journalism that can be trusted. This was a criminal act as the trust reposed on the doctor had been misplaced to the chagrin of the victims. That this had happened in a developed country is even more shocking. In worst...

Shiva I always carry some cash as digital payments need time for maintenance etc. and can catch us unawares. It is a boon that cash is still accepted though it is going out of fashion.

Shiva It happens to all - the conflict between the mind and heart. "Never the twain shall meet" is apt. It is never easy for anyone to take step to step away from life as it were. The ego acts up even for Zen masters. The mind pulls us down, tough to control,...
