This is from the comments on, Anger and the Self.
Is it more important to see how the self operates by extending itself through problems and separation than feel the underlying emotions as they come up? It seems like emotions are always trying to come up to be realized, regardless of what people do about it.

Two weeks ago Akiko and I went to see Zero’s Company dance performance in Tokyo. This particular performance was called BASIC. (The site is Japanese, but you can see some small pics of the same performance here.)
We were both blown away. It was an amazing example of the physical expression of the human body.
The company [...]
It is nice for others to show interest in me, but I hope I can dis-suede them from writing down what I say in order to follow it later. It might be of use to write down various questions and go into them, thoroughly seeing whatever might happen to be within.

I have talked about this new series for awhile, but it is finally about to be rolled out.
What is it?
This will be an ongoing series that explains the meanings behind the words that are used on Takuin.com. It will work as a glossary of terms, more or less.
Subjects that will be included in this series [...]
I received this question some time back.
What affect does food have on the body if someone is liberated?
It is easy to see the effects of food on the body. If one is looking at the body through chronological time, by the clock, then you can see the body transition from one state to another.

Do you think there are levels after enlightenment? Like they talk about the Buddha has somehow having a superior enlightenment as compared to the others… or is that just a belief thing?
It seems that we only hear these things from other people; never from the subject of comparison. Someone is always saying it in respect [...]
