Beautiful haiku ! … and in the context of meditation (dharma, ch'an, zen)
” to know everything about the world, but not to know thyself - is very funny! ”
“Buddha's teaching is a way of life, not a way of belief. His teaching is very scientific, very empirical, very practical. He is not a philosopher, not a metaphysician. He is a very down-to-earth man. Buddha says: You can change your life - beliefs are not needed. In fact, beliefs are the barriers to real change. Start with no belief, start with no metaphysics, start with no dogma. Start absolutely naked and nude, with no theology, no ideology. Start empty! That is the only way to come to truth.” OSHO
