- [Quantum Theory and Buddhism](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/quantum-theory-and-buddhism/) - When you play any sports, it is better to know the rules of the game, otherwise you can’t play it, and there is no way you can enjoy it. To know about how this world works and to live with it, it is called the practice of Dharma in Buddhism. Science and Quantum theory were
- [Simple truths are simple truth.](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/simple-truths-are-simple-truth/) - Recently I heard people saying “My truth” a lot these days. I feel a bit strange when I hear that, so I will try to find out where those feelings come from. Tao Sangha study the teachings of Saint Bennei, who is called Shakyamuni Buddha in the modern age. He wrote a book “Skin
- [Life is Suffering?](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/life-is-suffering/) - Occasionally, I get told“Buddhism is pessimistic, because they teach that life is suffering. Right?”. It’s kind of like when you say to a Canadian guy “You are Canadian, you must like beer and hockey”, or thinking Japanese women are quiet, love cute things and follow what men say. As you see, these are shallow ways
- [Let’s Be Human](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/lets-be-human/) - “Let’s Be Human” In my last blog I talked about humans in the ten realms in Buddhism. I’ll explain a bit more about that this time. One school of Buddhism is called Yogachara, literally “yoga practice,” “one whose practice is yoga.” It is an influential tradition of Buddhist philosophy and psychology that emphasizes the study
- [Bloom Like a Lovely Plant!](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/bloom-like-a-lovely-plant/) - “Grief and pain are but the soil from which springs the lovely plant — unselfishness. Be gentle and learn how to suffer. … Whatever you can do to live bravely — without impatience and without complaining — will help you to live some future day in joyful contentment.”— Helen Keller In my last four blogs
- [Live with Enlightenment Body Sensations](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/live-with-enlightenment-body-sensations/) - These are the most important things for humanity: to create Ki that produces the future, what you want to realize or see happen, and knead this Ki continually. An enlightenment body sensation is the feeling that you have unified with Something Great (you can call this God, Buddha, the Great Spirit of the Universe, or
- [Live for Others](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/live-for-others/) - My last blog was “The Most Important Thing For Humanity,” and that is to Create Ki. And to create Ki, we need these three things: Live in the Future, Live for Others, and Live with Enlightenment Body Sensations. And whereas my last blog talked about “Living in the Future” a lot, this time I’m more
- [The Most Important Things For Humanity](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/the-most-important-things-for-humanity/) - Tao Sangha teaches that the most important things for humanity are to “Create Ki” and “Knead Ki.” Kneading Ki is like kneading the dough for a loaf of bread. And to create Ki, you need to: Live in the Future, Live for Others, and Live with Enlightenment Body Sensations. Nothing is more important than this.
- [Ki Directs Everything](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/ki-directs-everything/) - Tao Sangha is based on this. Actually, “Ki Directs Everything” is how our universe works. You can say that this is a law of the universe. Ki is usually explained as Universal Energy — the energy that is around us and within us. Do you know how this Ki is made? Ki is created by
- [Limitless Joy is Emptiness](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/limitless-joy-is-emptiness/) - The concept of “Joy” often appears in Buddhist sutras. But this Joy doesn’t come from outside us. People usually feel joy because they got something they wanted, or someone gave them or did something for them that they liked. But these are joys that come from outside us. At Tao Sangha, you can experience four
- [On the Thin Line](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/on-the-thin-line/) - Self-identity and otherness, holding ego and caring for others, self-actualization and others’ happiness. These are my concerns these days. To say it more simply, “Who am I?” and “What is my purpose in life?” I thought this was clear, but it wasn’t. Actually, I thought I knew this and was carrying it out, but this
- [Move a Mountain?](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/move-a-mountain/) - “The next morning as they passed by the fig tree he had cursed, the disciples noticed it had withered from the roots up. Peter remembered what Jesus had said to the tree on the previous day and exclaimed, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree you cursed has withered and died!” Then Jesus said to the disciples,
- [Let’s Be Stupid](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/lets-be-stupid/) - “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me” (Matthew 16:24; Mark 8:34). The cross is a symbol of sin in Christianity. What did Jesus mean by “take up your cross”? Think of it as a symbol of taking responsibility for
- [Make Your Heart Lighter](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/make-your-heart-lighter/) - If you feel you are stuck, with no way to escape, please keep looking for hope. I guarantee that there is hope out there waiting for you to find it. This time of COVID, lockdown, fake news, people monitoring each other and judging others if they don’t do what they believe is right is a
- [Hope Is Here!](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/hope-is-here/) - As humans, we selectively perceive only what we can see, only what is convenient to us. And even though less than 1 percent of the world’s information is visible, we look only at what we want to see. We don’t even recognize the world as it is, and we don’t understand that we don’t recognize
- [Has God Betrayed You? There is Still Hope!](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/has-god-betrayed-you-there-is-still-hope/) - The hopes and wishes we have are usually pretty shallow. We usually wish for what we want, something convenient for us. But maybe God/Buddha’s love is not so straightforward. It’s like when we were children and our parents made us eat broccoli, carrots, green peppers, etc. — vegetables or something that we didn’t want to
- [Sense of Wonder](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/sense-of-wonder/) - “Your Sense of Wonder” Sometimes the phrase “sense of wonder” is used in science fiction, and it’s also part of the title of Rachel Carson’s book The Sense of Wonder, but here I’m using it in its literary sense, to mean a kind of curiosity. What I mean is, it’s like a kid full of
- [Frozen Brain](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/frozen-brain/) - “Don’t Let Your Brain Freeze — Keep Thinking!” Buddhism teaches that if someone stops thinking, that state is called “Dark” and it means “no wisdom.” Buddhist practice is to keep thinking, and that wisdom dwells within you. But these days, people are “freezing” their brains. They’ve stopped thinking. And that’s why the world feels so
- [Desire to Be a Bodhisattva](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/desire-to-be-a-bodhisattva/) - This is a continuation of my last blog. In my previous blog, I talked about the way acceptance is taught in Christianity: “You are good as you are.” This is used as the foundation for self-confidence. There are so many people, especially in North America, who don’t have self-confidence, or won’t let themselves be self-confident.
- [A Creed For Those Who Have Suffered](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/a-creed-for-those-who-have-suffered/) - “A Creed For Those Who Have Suffered” I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey … I asked for health, that I might do greater things.I was given infirmity, that I might do better things … I asked for riches, that I might be
- [“Gran Torino” and “Scent of a Woman”](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/gran-torino-and-scent-of-a-woman/) - “Gran Torino” and “Scent of a Woman” – Acting with Determination and Imagination I watched two movies last month: “Gran Torino” and “Scent of a Woman.” “Gran Torino” was directed by Clint Eastwood and screened in 2008. Clint Eastwood plays old, disgruntled Korean War veteran Walt Kowalski, who sets out to reform his neighbor, Thao
- [Making a New Year’s Resolution](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/making-a-new-years-resolution/) - For the first blog of the year, let’s talk about New Year’s Resolutions. Realizing a New Year’s Resolution is actually a way to realize any wish. You just need to be determined about it. And there are two things you need to be determined about: one is that you’ll “do whatever is necessary” and the
- [Walk Alone Like a Rhinoceros](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/walk-alone-like-a-rhinoceros/) - This is a continuation from my previous blog about feeling the god within yourself. When you have faith in this, then you can stand on your own and be free from the effects of any situations that occur around you. Also, in this state you can follow the Ki (universal energy) easily, because you are
- [My Soulmate](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/my-soulmate/) - Sometimes I hear people say “I’m looking for my soulmate” or “I’m not sure my partner is truly my other half.” It seems like the concept of “I am only half a person — half of me is missing, and when I find my other half, then I’ll be complete” is embedded very deeply in
- [Opposite is Equal](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/opposite-is-equal/) - In Japan, there is a game called “shogi.” It’s a two-player strategy board game like chess, also known as Japanese chess or the game of generals, with rules that are pretty much the same as chess. But there’s one significant and unique difference: you can use your opponent’s piece after you take it. The rule
- [How to Overcome Karma](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/how-to-overcome-karma/) - Recently, someone asked me “how can I overcome Karma?” So, let’s think about this. She said, “When I’m in a certain situation, I always react in the same way, which I don’t want to do. I don’t want to be like this. I want to stop this Karma, and sometimes I succeed, but a lot
- [Butterfly Effect](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/butterfly-effect/) - The Butterfly Effect “Does the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas?“ is the title of a famous speech by meteorologist Edward Norton Lorenz; it’s a part of the Chaos theory. Science hasn’t answered this question yet. But in Buddhism, there are very similar concepts that have been taught
- [Let’s Ferment!](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/lets-ferment/) - The Power of Invisible Things One way to explain Spirituality is the ability to believe in invisible things. God, the Great Spirit of the Universe, energy, a state of heart — these are things you can’t see in daily life, but when you start to cultivate the ability to believe in those invisible things, your
- [What Is the “Right View”?](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/what-is-the-right-view/) - The Right View is the first part of the Buddhist eight-part practice called the Noble Eightfold Path, which will lead you to Nirvana, or the Pure Land. The first of the eight paths is called the “Right View,” and it is very easily misunderstood. Does it mean to see things in the “Right” way? What
- [Break the Illusion of the Retirement Plan Attitude](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/break-the-illusion-of-the-retirement-plan-attitude/) - After I retire: “That’s it! I’m free, I’ll do whatever I want to do.”After I die: “That’s it! It’s finished, done, it’s over.”After I’m enlightened: “That’s it! I don’t have to practice anymore.” These are illusions. Actually, I’m not denying your retirement plan (if you have one). What I want to say is that the
- [Are You a Drifter?](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/are-you-a-drifter/) - My last two blogs, “Expiration Time on Emotions” and “Stand on Our Own,” talk about our responsibility as human beings and, in relation to this, I just read Napoleon Hill’s book called Outwitting The Devil. He wrote how the Devil controls 98 percent of people, and how this makes them irresponsible. He calls those controlled
- [Stand on Our Own](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/stand-on-our-own/) - My last blog topic was about taking responsibility for our emotions, and this time I’ll talk about what motivates us to do that and what makes us not do it. Those who take responsibility for their emotions are taking the initiative for their own lives. In other words, they “stand on their own.” They are
- [Expiration time on Emotions](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/expiration-time-on-emotions/) - What’s the Expiration Time on Emotions? Recently, one of my patients told me a story about what his moods have been like lately. He said, “I was in such a bad mood yesterday, all day long. But I’m in a very good mood today, so I’m a good person today. When I’m in a bad
- [Praise: To Share the Joy](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/praise-to-share-the-joy/) - This is the last part of the “Action – Remorse – Gratitude – Praise” cycle. When you praise, the most important thing is to have the heart of a child. The heart of a child is always excited about the future. Children are impressed with everything around them. They say, “Wow!” “Cool!” and “Super!” —
- [Gratitude: To share the warmth](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/gratitude-to-share-the-warmth/) - This is a continuation of my “Action – Remorse – Gratitude – Praise” blog. Gratitude is a very common word, but also a very much misused word. People might say, “I know what gratitude is,” and they might say, “When someone gives me something, and I say thank you for it, that’s gratitude, right?” I
- [Remorse: To Be Free](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/remorse-to-be-free/) - Let’s continue with “Action – Remorse – Gratitude – Praise.” This time I’ll talk about “Remorse” — and you might wonder about the title, about what the connection between remorse and being free is. Remorse usually has a negative image. You do not remorse because you have done something wrong. But this negative image might
- [Action: To Create a Better Future](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/action-to-create-a-better-future/) - A couple of weeks ago I wrote “Action – Remorse – Gratitude – Praise” and this is a continuation of it. About action: In Tao Sangha teachings, action is meant to create a better future for self and others. (Of course, this action includes the three karma explained here.) And to create a better future,
- [The Emperor’s New Clothes: Have a Free Mind, Like a Child!](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/the-emperors-new-clothes-have-a-free-mind-like-a-child/) - A couple of days ago I posted “The Emperor’s New Clothes” on Facebook, and wrote:————————————-Everyone knows this story. But do you see the trick of a scammer?Would you be a kid and say “The Emperor is naked!” or would you say to the kid, “Shhhh!”, or scold the kid, “Don’t see the emperor’s clothes!” or
- [Hold Ego](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/hold-ego/) - This week I was teaching a class, and it seems like the concept of “Hold Ego” wasn’t clear to the students, so, I’ll just try to clarify it here. “Hold Ego” is the first thing taught to students who came to study and practice at Tao Sangha, and all practice starts from and is based
- [Action – Remorse – Gratitude – Praise](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/action-remorse-gratitude-praise/) - My last blog was about creating a happy future by taking responsibility for your own actions, words, and images (thoughts) within the field you recognize. In this blog I‘ll explain about deepening that practice. Action – Remorse – Gratitude – Praise In Buddhist Sutras it says that a person has 840 million thoughts a day;
- [What Is True Human Nature?](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/what-is-true-human-nature/) - The video shows my teacher’s Dharma talk called “Awakening!”It’s about 16 minutes long. If you watch it, you’ll learn more details about this secret of human nature! The post What Is True Human Nature? appeared first on Tao Shiatsu Therapy.
- [This Guy Just Changed the Way We Think About God and the Universe](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/this-guy-just-changed-the-way-we-think-about-god-and-the-universe/) - In my last blog and the previous one to that, I talked about a point of view. This time I’m going to introduce you to another point of view in a short story called “This Guy Just Changed the Way We Think About God and the Universe.” “This Guy Just Changed the Way We Think
- [Memento mori](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/memento-mori/) - In my previous blog I talked about “death,” and this week a patient told me about their fear of death, so this blog topic is about the “future after death.” As I said in my previous blog, I prefer to believe we are beings of energy, and we come to this world and go back
- [What Is the Meaning of Spirituality?](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/what-is-the-meaning-of-spirituality/) - I got asked this question a couple days ago, and it kept spinning in my mind. It’s a very simple question. The definition of “spirituality” in the dictionary is: “the quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things.” I don’t think that person would be satisfied
- [To Look in the Mirror](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/to-look-in-the-mirror/) - “Wow!” When I try to take a picture of something, and my smartphone shows my face instead. Somehow I am surprised each time it happens! We all use smartphones everyday and look at it so many times. In Mahayana Buddhism, especially in the Yogachara, the doctrine of consciousness, and Saint Bennei’s teachings, it says “whatever
- [Learning is opening-up your potential](https://taosangha-na.com/blog/learning-is-opening-up-your-potential/) - This week, I went to my friend’s cottage and had dinner.
