All beautiful creations deserve the frame of eternity on earth, not to be burnt away as invisible inked haikus in a far away cave.<br /><br />I am commenting independent of the scope of your koan.Parvatinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9766640.post-61288742883983887522009-07-01T22:06:46.665+05:302009-07-01T22:06:46.665+05:30Dear O,

You have apparently not understood the koan. Teruo-san was not prescribing seclusion and reclusivity. Teruo-san simply portrays the end in creation. Marketing it or not is inconsequential to creativity per se.

So it doesn't teach me anything, this attitude of the great man who creates and destroys for himself. The second the world is and its innumerable components, the zig zag of relationships is what throws one into a tizzy. To renounce it all in a self sufficiency is the easiest death like solution, but not a solution in light, love and relating from myself to others.<br /><br />So I disagree with the koan in its quite blatant idolising and idealising of seclusion, reclusivity visavis creativity and actual manifestation in this world and on this objective earth.Parvatinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9766640.post-24928589200263682072009-05-30T11:28:30.267+05:302009-05-30T11:28:30.267+05:30I read your blog and found it very informative.
