Road to Neverland

While we are talking about satisfaction, let me take it to one step further. Ever one has a right of an opinion and mine has a lot to do with religion. You talked about "Zen" Culture. What i understand from your post is that it is a short of way of living with peaceful gardens and beautiful environment. Well it is not the philosophy that makes you relax or satisfied. It is the pleasant change which is portrayed through the pleasant gardens and whatever there is. But important factor is that someone is there to tell you how you should think.

This is the way all the religions are designed; they tell you how you should think. And their nothing wrong with it, our mind is a complex processor, if left without proper directions it may go on its own where things get tangles with each other. Just like any other machine.

What is interesting to know that not many people understand the actual reality, or should I say differentiate between different philosophies? Infect every thing is real, its people who tries to create a difference of real and not real.

Zen, may have essence of many past religion. But if I am not mistaken, it talks about peace, live and let live. The basis of every religion which exist today. I do not have particular interest in history, but there is a logical connection of emerging religions, one after another, each tries to give us something better or more than the other religion. But it is us who through our limited knowledge without going in dept start following whatever is new or in front of us.

Go back to the story of Adam; there was a religion that was what Adam believed. Each religion after Adam took something from him and through the evolution process it became to what most believe or at least I believe that last complete one. Jewish, Christens and Muslim, if the essences of these religions are explored the basic is same. It is human mind which has made them different.

So the idea of satisfaction is what we believe in, for some it is a long vacation, for some a good dinner, etc. Satisfaction is what your mind tells you, and many times somebody brain feeds you about what you want. It is the illusion around our mind which made us believe when we see something out of ordinary. Be aware to control your mind before it controls you and take you to neverland.
