Muso Soseki on Compassion

From Cleary's translation of Dream Conversations on Buddhism and Zen,

> There are three kinds of compassion. One kind is compassion whose object is living beings as such. Another is compassion whose object is elements. The third is objectless compassion. These three kinds of compassion are very different.

> The compassion whose object is living beings as such is the compassion of one who thinks beings are real and their delusions are real, and who wishes to liberate these real beings from their real delusions. This is sentimental compassion, which is limited by feelings. It is still just emotion and desire, not real liberative compassion.

> The compassion whose object is elements is the compassion of one who sees all beings as conditional productions of causal relations, as compounds of elements that have no real person or thing in themselves. This is illusory compassion for illusory beings, using illusory means to liberate illusory beings from illusory delusions. Although it transcends the sticky emotion of sentimental compassion, this dreamlike compassion still retains the image of illusion, so it is not yet truly liberated compassion.

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

I did it, I finally did it. After 4 years and 92 days I went from being a father, to a dad.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

Insight Behind the Naming of Zen Equipment

Here's a brief and very simplified background on the mythology behind the Zen names, and other equipment. I'll include the wikipedia links for further reading.

Let's start with Izanagi (head), a male, and his sister-wife Izanami (head). They are both gods created from other gods. Their name is probably derived from θͺ˜γ† (izanau) which means 'to invite,' with '-gi' being the male suffix and '-mi' as the female counterpart. Izanami gave birth to a son, Kagutsuchi (flamethrower), the incarnation of fire, but during the birth she died. Upset by his wife's passing, Izanagi killed Kagutshuchi with the Ame-no-Ohabari (sword).

The Zen swords in Japanese all have the γ‚’γƒ‘γƒŽ (Ame-no) part, meaning 'of Heaven,' in front of their names. Ame-no-Ohabari, Ame-no-Habakiri, and Ame-no-Murakumo. The sword names are a bit difficult to translate, but Ohabari is a sword with a double-bladed tip, Habakiri is a feathered sword, and Murakumo is 'cloud gathering' sword.

After Izanagi killed Kagutsuchi, he went to the underworld to retrieve his wife, but was unsuccessful. Upon returning to Earth, he bathed himself from the underworld filth in a river, which lead to the creation of many other dieties, including Takemikazuchi (laser rifle), a deity of thunder or sword, and Susanoo (legs), a deity of the sea and storms. Susanoo would go on to have many stories told of his adventures, one of which is about meeting an elderly couple who had had seven of their eight daughters eaten by a giant serpent, Yamata-no-Orochi (acid gun). After Susanoo slayed the serpent with his Ame-no-Habakiri ([sword](https://orbital-database.gitla

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...

Notices there's only 2;

Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."

I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
