Tell you something interesting--- the Chinese character "HATE" (恨 hèn) has the heart prefix and GEN suffix.
Ken says:
Heart prefix means heart or "thought", GEN suffix as in the Gen trigram, which means stagnation or stopped. When you hate, your heart stops.
Ken says:
When you kick away the heart prefix, then you stop hating! The word is no longer "hate".
Friend says:
Interesting.
Friend says:
Stopping the heart
Friend says:
Pretty much correct
Friend says:
Actually westerners talk about mind. Easterners talk about xin or heart. But they are talking about the same thing.
Ken says:
Yes.
Friend says:
In the end, it is neither.
Friend says:
Because mind is associated with brain. Heart is associated with feelings and the physical heart.
Friend says:
The thing that is discussed is actually a formless thing, almost like a ghost or water.
Friend says:
Water has no form until you put it in a container.
Friend says:
Same with conscious awareness.
Friend says:
Enlightenment simply means free-- not attached to the container.
Friend says:
That's why Lao Zi talks about behaving like water.
Ken says:
Bruce Lee liked to say something similar, "Open your mind, be water, be formless, be shapeless. If water is poured into a cup, it has the shape of a cup. If water is poured into a teapot, it has the shape of a teapot."
