Now I Can See the Moon

Masahide wrote the following haiku:


“Barn's burnt down … Now I can see the moon”. Can you see the moon?

God and Man

God and Man

 

You know, the theologians – always they were perplexed with the dilemma of God being Man (Christ, the Third Person of the Holy Trinity). “How is it possible for a perfect God to be an imperfect man?” they asked, and proceeded to do all types of intellectual contortions to reconcile the two, even going so far as to call the entire affair a Mystery – as if that were an explanation. But to me there is no problem with the sacred being a man … or a bug for that matter. So why not

 

God and Bug

?

 

To a Christian, only a Christian is a Christian. To a Hindu, only a Hindu is a Hindu. To a Muslim, only a Muslim is a Muslim. But to a Buddhist, everyone is a Buddhist – even a bug!

But maybe to a bug, everyone is a bug …

or a God …

Gods eating Gods

It’s an unexplored concept.

Railroad tracks are the fastest way to get one to the same place every time.

 

Going off the tracks, what do you have to say?

“How is it possible for a perfect God to be an imperfect man?” they asked

How simple.  “How can a Perfect God make anything or anyone that was not made perfect first?”  God does not make mistakes.  God makes everything and every one Perfect.  Perfectly capable of becoming God-Like.  Perfectly capable of following in the footsteps of the Perfects that went before us and became Enlightened Beings.

All of of were made perfect.  We are perfect when with Love we decide to fulfill our Purpose.

ok - i'll bite.  (bzzzzzzzz…..)

i am -  thinks not the bug - entirely absorbed in the bugness of existance… that 's all there is  - knows not the bug…  on the tracks or off…  matters not  - it is all bug dream…. bug perspective, bug warm or bug cold…  neither one better than another …  bug slow  or bug fast or bug pheremone…….  not interesting… but there is a magnetic kind of pull to the bug source of it ….  leading to …  the continuation of bugness… 
 - or - 
this could be full of crap… perhaps there are bugged bugs… and buggered bugs… slowly crawling toward the realization that they are already bug buddha….

could be.
