Tao Te Ching Chapter 64-5 Before existence

Today's Tao

Do it before it has come to exist. (Ch.64)


華開世界起

[kekai sekaiki].

That's what they say in Zen Buddhism.

It means:

"A flower opens. The world gets up".


A flower symbolizes a hologram.

A hologram opens up and the world comes to exist there.

This is a so-called "reality" that is reconstructed in our "mind" as a catalyst.


Buddha said:

"It is like a man with bleary-eyed vision seeing the flowers in the middle of emptiness."

亦如翳人見空中華

（Shuryogon Sutra Book 4 首楞厳経　第四巻 ☞See also Wild field 53-4）


But, watch out.


Zen Master Dogen cautions.

We must not ignorantly interpret it as: "Since we are lost, we see illusions in the air".

In Buddhism, "a man with bleary-eyed vision" means a man of Satori.

(Kuge 空華, «Shobogenzo»)


Let's decode Today's Tao sentence.

Send love "before" your projected hologram "comes to exist" in the world, asking you to send more love.


[Note]
The world = your projected hologram

Tao answers your question!



☞Was Godzilla "born" with a grudge? Surely, the monster had been asleep when human beings experimented a hydrogen bomb. He was just a gigantic animal asleep in the middle of evolution. In Akira Kurosawa's «Ikiru», was the man living with a grudge against bureaucratic work? Surely, the man was working to earn a living. He was in the middle of spiritual evolution. Godzilla left his body in Tokyo Bay. The bureaucrat left a small park for children. The director of «Godzilla», Ishiro Honda, worked as an assistant under Akira Kurosawa during the production of «Stray Dog».
