"Open sez me" -Popeye the sailor man

(My daughter, and apparently a lot of other people, thought that was the original version of 'open sesame' ...but it was a play on open sesame from a popeye cartoon. :rolling: )

"You're scared, ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
Whisper in a dead man's ear
It doesn't make it real!"

-Spike

Suitable quote from the pastor of muppets.

However and of course, everything posted here in Words when translated back to original Turkish better sense even makes.

Where do we go from here?

The battles done and we
…kind of won,
So we sound out victory cheer!
[tell me..]
Where do we go from here?

The past is already past.
Don’t try to regain it.
The present does not stay.
Don’t try to touch it
From moment to moment.
The future is not come;
Don’t think about it
Beforehand.
Whatever comes to the eye,
Leave it be.
There are no commandments
To be kept,
There’s no filth to be cleansed.
With empty mind really
Penetrated, the dharmas
Have no life.
When you can be like this
You’ve completed
The ultimate attainment.

- Layman P’ang

Empty mind. keep it simple.
Too see something you don't have to think.
so, it is. what you see.
When practicing don't know even the practice.
If you don't see it is not yours.
whenever you wish there will automatically match; now, then and the intuitive (inner light) with the subject in the most suitable and correct way.
So take that way in this secret of empty mind.

Empty mind. keep it simple.
When practicing; don't know even the practice.
Sure, you will see.

Upon entering into exile, Honen Shonin said:
Honen the Buddhist Saint p. 121 wrote:Everyone, whether living the life of illusion and passion or transcending them and entering into enlightenment, is like one dwelling in a house on fire. The man who has found reality, as well as the man who is still in the coils of the phenomenal, is like one traveling over a flooded road.

Rock’n roll is to live not for to listen. Addiction for many. Without taking anything as a basis.
