You ever think of moving? sounds like a tough area mate.
Im lucky I can go out an leave the door wide open and its about a 95 to 5 risk in favor of me comming home to everything ok.
I feel for you ,thats added pressure you dont need in life.

Thanks for the concern. I have kinda gotten used to it so I don't consider it as too much problem or pressure. It's not only nightwatch I do at night, I also bring some of the works I miss during the daytime sleep with me so as to make the best of my time, as well as meditating, and browsing the net and posting whenever I have time to spare. Pretty busy night.

There's a reason for everything and the robbery I told you of had some to it too. We were treading on a dangerous path and the robbery sort of cut that off and perhaps saved us. It's a long story so I won't go into that but all was not lost in that seemingly unfortunate incidence, something was regained. So I have a very mixed feeling about the incident; I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be angry and sad about it or to be thankful. Not only that, it was also a lesson for me to be a bit more careful. I have to say I had been a bit careless then...

Andre, I'll post some zen questions here. This is more easy then the last time, I can just borrow some stuffs from the net and share it here. You don't have to reply to every one of these though...


The Monk Mayo asked this question of the Sixth patriarch: "What is Zen?" the Patriarch replied that, "when your mind is not dwelling on the dualism of good and evil, what is your original face before you were born?"


Hmmm, that's a tough one. Actually, I've got no idea.

Not sure either mate ! about the face or whats ment by that ; but originally like the Sun, at one completly within the All.
The choice made by us to come here tells a story of both all of us and the divine force or God within.

Discontent at knowing without experiencing .
Thus we chose to go down in frequency so at to experience ourselves in the material dimensions.

I would have thought the answer to "what is Zen"? would be, Allowance of all things?
FOr him to answer a question with a question is a nice way of saying you have chosen a journey and yet you want to know how it ends! it is the road that you need to look upon now, not the end. So he asked about the begining so that the journey becomes the realization.

Hmmm, let me think about it. But wait, we are not supposed to think in Zen, we are supposed to be inspired...

If your opponent is arrogant,encourage his arrogance-
The Art Of War

Which means, 'to let him fall on his own folly,' the same principle used in Japanese martial art of Aikido.
