Gudo was the teacher of the emperor of his time. but always traveling alone as a wandering mendicant. Once, while on their way to Edo, the cultural and political center of the shogunate, he found himself near a small village named Takenaka. It was evening and it poured.
Gudo was soaked.
his straw sandals were in pieces. In a farmhouse near the village he saw four or five PPAI of sandals on a windowsill and decided to buy a pair.
The woman who sold him the sandals, seeing how wet, invited him to spend a night there in the house.
Gudo accepted with thanks. He entered and recited a sutra in front to the shrine of the family. Then then she introduced him to her mother and her children. noting that all had an air of sorrow, Gudo asked if some misfortune had happened.
“My husband plays to chance and is a drunkard,” the hostess explained.
“When he happens to win get drunk and become abusive. When you lose the money paid by others. Sometimes, when drunk, not even coming home. What can I do?”
“It will help me,” said Gudo. “That’s a bit ‘of money. Get me a gallon of wine buonoe something appetizing to eat. Then go away to sleep. I’ll stay in meditation front of the shrine”.
When, around midnight, the woman’s husband came home drunk, began yelling: “Hey, wife, I’m home. There is nothing to eat?”.
“Something I have it,” said Gudo. I was surprised by the rain and your wife kindly invited me to spend the night. To thank she I bought some fish and a bit ‘of wine, so you can enjoy too”. The man was overjoyed. He drank the wine and immediately lay down on the floor. Gudo remained in meditation next to him.
When her husband woke up the next morning, he did not remember anything the night before. “Who are you? Where you come from? ” he asked Gudo who was still meditating.
“I am Gudo of Kyoto and I’m going to Edo,” replied the Zen master.
He felt immense shame. Not stop to apologize to the teacher of his emperor.
Gudo smiled. “Everything in this life is unstable,” he explained. “Life is short. If you continue to play and drink, then you will not have time to make another, and you will suffer even your family”.
It was as if the consciousness of her husband awakens from a dream. “As I can never compensate for this wonderful lesson? Acompagni Let me and let me bring your stuff for a piece of road”.
“As you wish” Gudo agreed.
duee the set off. After three miles Gudo told the man to turn back. “Other five miles only “asked him that. They walked on.” Now you can go back “Gudo said.” I’m still ten miles, “the man replied.” Now go back “Gudo said when they had walked the ten miles.” I want to follow for the rest of my life, “the man said. In Japan, the teachers of today are descended from a famous Zen master who was the successor of Gudo. his name was Mu-nan, the man who never returned back.

Nin-in, a Japanese master of the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a visit from a university professor CEH had come to him for questioning about Zen.
Nin-in served tea. He filled the cup of his host, and then continued to pour.
The professor watched the overflowing tea, then he could no longer contain himself. “It ’s filled! Not enter more there.”
“Like this cup,” Nan-in said, “You are as full of your opinions and conjecture. How can I explain to you Zen unless you first empty your cup?”.

Some reasons why you should stop drinking coffee today. Caffeine is the most widely used stimulant in the world. Coffee, tea, chocolate, cocoa, many soft drinks, diet pills, aspirin, various analgesics used for headache and vascular pain, and even some herbal preparations contain caffeine (or similar substances). Many may not know as analgesics and stimulants are harmful to your health and how natural and healthy eating makes it completely unnecessary chemicals. And in your personal growth you can not neglect this important truth on nutrition. When caffeine is taken in excess, your body will inevitably respond with these symptoms: anxiety, nervousness, insomnia or light sleep, various types of heart problems, stomach and intestinal disorders and mood swings. And if you regularly use, it takes as little as two cups of coffee, to experience these symptoms. Of all the products that contain caffeine, today I want to focus on one in particular: coffee. Regularly consumed by thousands of people, coffee is a diuretic and stimulant. These features, however, does not make it a healthy product. Who drinks coffee, in fact, is likely to be affected by various diseases. Thirty different studies have shown that drinking coffee increases the chances of developing cancer of the bladder and urinary canal of 20%. Also: - The regular consumption of significant amounts of coffee may be among the leading causes of pancreatic cancer and stroke. - Even moderate drinking coffee (such as two cups a day) can cause an increase in cholesterol. - Most of the heavy drinkers of coffee is a lack of calcium and other minerals, because of the acids produced in the body by the digestion of coffee. - The intake of coffee during pregnancy may help to increase the risk of miscarriage and fetal malformation at birth. - The acid in coffee can corrode the villi of the small intestine, reducing their effectiveness in promoting the assimilation of food. In all of these reasons is the fact that the collection and production of coffee are used very hazardous chemicals: toxic pesticides in the cultivation, petroleum-based solvents to remove caffeine and other chemicals. If you have been an avid coffee drinker and you begin to take care of your small intestine in pain, you can drink two or more cups of nettle tea leaves per day for at least six weeks. “Detoxify” the coffee is difficult for many people. The best thing is a gradual decrease. As with most of intoxicants, in fact, if you suddenly stop drinking coffee you can feel a headache, constipation and sleepiness (or fatigue in general). In the transition can help beverage made of barley or other grains, which are also beneficial for constipation. For a few days you may also assist them to herbal laxative. In addition, there are attractive alternatives in organic supermarkets from roots, seeds and fruits such as coffee yannoh. You could also try this remedy to calm the nervousness of the typical period of detoxification: mix one or more teaspoons of carob powder in a cup of hot water and Bevin a couple of cups a day. Be careful, though. The carob powder can make constipation. I wish you all the best, Andrew

It’s been veri nice!
Today I’ve downloaded and installed Klango 3.5 version, and thing unexpected surprise: for Klango use, are availables synth voices. Yea! An alternative to the Microsoft voices, that aren’t clars!
I provided to download and install the english and, eventually, the polish languages voices synthesizer of Ivona, that, I know, are total free for use on Klango only, but for me is very interesting, I’m enjoy to use shis synthesizer also on Klango only!
By the way I sent a message on the english Klango to ask if is true that the Ivona synth is totally free for use on Klango only, so I aptend a reply, else, I must wait among therty days to verify that this synth continues or no to work.
For now is all, see you soon.

Hi,
since two weeks, I go to a Buddhism weekly meeting.
It’s very interesting!
I was (or if you want I gave the idea that) I was Catholic, because in my family I lived with my grandparents who are catholics and, I want change traditions, so I’m decided to become buddhist, and I did!
But now, let’s talking about my buddhist experience. From this experience, I’m learning to focalize my mind to a thing per time and this gets you biggest benefits, because you do what do you do better.
Among the concepts, there is the abolishment of any attachment, while enjoying anything.
However, if you abolish the attachment, you have more possiblity to reach any meta.
It’s important to be glade to everything happens, also if it’s a trouble, because you know that you must change strategy or meta you whant reach.
If you contrast the trouble you have, is such as if you whant that injury or burn yourself, you would like don’t feel anything. And if this true, you bathe in blood or damage your skin.And so is a trouble: a symptom that affects you in your goal to change something in your strategy or your attitude.
And here the Buddhism is based.

Hi guys,
I hope I’ll continue to update constantly this blog, because is so long I don’t write anything.
Very well, the topic that I would shere with you is about the control of emotions.
Today we live in a society where we live constantly in stress and so don’t allows our to live emotion that make us feel ok.
What’s the solution?
It’s very easy to see but challenging to practise:
everyone of us know dominate every worlds, has made/makes every decoverys, in truth, how you feel if know dominate yourself, your emotions?
I don’t saying that don’t must live negative emotions, because these can help we to know what’s hour emprovement area, while is important we know equilibrate the same.
If you considerate the childrens, they when feel sad, in few minutes change them emotional state, or in some ways appens the contrary,
In every ways, the childrens remain very few time in an emotional state improductive, because the man nature is the happiness, so remain in this last state (or groped that) for long time, and by the way, live this moments to the 100%.
So, my sudjest for today is the following: feel this empowering emotional state everiything appens.
See you soon,
Andrew

Installing Avira, I’m checked a veri big accessibility mistake, about the field labeling. Infact to video (I think) the fields name and the blank fields and combo boxes are rappresented on two columns, rather than writing the label directly on the field or combobox, so I, to understand what information I must write to compiling the form befor installing the software in object, I must press insert+b to reading all the windows and write the related infos hoping that these are rights.
So I request to all you to sending a feedback where you writing about this hard trouble, together other that only who has instaled succesfully the Avira software encounters.
Thanks very mutch,
Andrew
