Errrh, What are you trying to say? Sorry Eric -- author's opinions kills interpretive thinking. But Suhana LIM's on the right track.

Da jia ni men hao IF YOU CHASE THE WORLD, IT RUNS AWAY FROM YOU. IF YOU RUN FROM THE WORLD, IT CHASES YOU. Cheers Suhana kor kor, reading all your "cheem cheem" stuff, I am fast turning into a BLUR SOTONG. Sort of like my Shaolin teacher who talked to us like this:- What is Zen? What is not Zen? Everything is Zen. Everything is not Zen. I only start to understand this kind of secret coded message after a few Carlsberg. So I think the Carlsberg is better at grasping Zen. hahahahaha ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Eric Di Di ni hao This sort of question and answer stuff is called "KUNG-AN" or the Japanese called it "KOAN," which means "public dictate." They sound simple but got wide and deep meaning. Since you are with your Carlsberg, I'll add another which sure will make you the BLUREST SOTONG ;D X: Master, how do I prepare for death? Y: Learn to live. X: Then how shall I learn to live? Y: Prepare yourself for death. Cheers.

Suhana, I just noticed - you have "god" under your name. What is this all about ? aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh I swear handling you and Pit is pushing my blood pressure up - too yang. Need more ying food - Carlsberg.hehehe ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Eric ni hao Eureka! I can solve the error now. Please disregard my email to you. Xie xie. Yes, at first I also felt (and still) uncomfortable with that term. Is it the automatic code that will appear if someone has posted certain amount of postings? As the "Toa Pek Kong", I am sure you can do something about this. ;D My advice, to have high blood pressure is very bad for your health. Not only your chi will scatter everywhere, but it can attract cung fung (stroke). Or maybe you consume too much ikan asin (salted fish) ;D ;D ;D. They are yumbo, but eat in moderation only. Carlsberg is good if we want to forget the real life and enter the imaginary / dream world. Where everything is according to our wishes. But after certain period, we'll comeback facing the real world. And the good (or bad?) thing about Carlsberg is, we can use it as the "helping hand" if we are affraid to speak up about something in sober condition. Personally I prefer Oolong or Green tea for "cleansing" the fat and reduce the blood pressure. My sincerest apology if all this time I caused your "high blood pressure." Cheers.

Q: How many Zen masters does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: None! They're already enlightened.

OK being a bit more serious here:
I think the illusion of separation exists in each person as an ingrained instinct from the earliest of times - it is as old as man. Early man banded together in tribes for protection, and later to hunt as a ‘pack.’ Then one tribe wanted what another one had etc etc
I think what marks us as humans - is how we deal with the trials and prejudices of being human. Its easy to sink to the level of barbarism, its another to know when enough is enough and when things are not right. Knowing your prejudicial and overcoming it – that is no illusion.

Hungfist ni hao The so called "standard" unfortunatelly different. What is norm in one region might be frown upon in another place. I think this is sometimes contribute to the misunderstanding and misjudgement. Cheers.

Da jia ni men hao Who are we? Why in the world? Where after life ? Cheers. Relativity perfectly confuses oneness. We are here to remember that there is nothing we need to remember. Bodly be who you are now, for who else is there? There is the truth of the Self. There is the truth of the Surroundings. There is the truth of Nothing Matters.
