Welcome in Obiterdictum with Mimiles's Zen Gallery, Honni Soit Qui Mal Y Pense

The Zen Gallery

Introduction to Mimile's Zen gallery
Here is the simplest approach as regard Zen matters/ante-matters. Here again, no work to consider... Twelve sections would be the matter of the Stations of the Cross... Then a thirteenth and a fourteenth ones are added in the proposed set of pictures...   Just a little bit of apt meditation, a few hard questions not to be thought about, and nothing to toil on without impeding anything to be made...

Have a good trip, dear reader !

Naked and free

...A costume doesn't measure up to one's happyness,
and seldom provides the latter to others...
Acquire knowledge about doing nothing,
while impeding nothing to be performed...
You do nothing and nothing's not done.

A real Master as the best Housewife

...If you are no longer classed in quantifiable categories,
then you may naturally escape from the proselytism of the Markets...

Flunkosophy

...Everything cannot be found in books, dear reader,
even not on the great World Wide Web...
Then you ought to strive to get out of this conditioning 
you are hanged on without sometime
realizing the ordeal and deep pain it inflicts on your mind...

Mental Monkey and Intellectual Horse

The little monkey leaping within your mind preventing you from meditating, 
 is the worst of the masters if you let him overcome your blankness.
However he may be the best energizer of your creativity 
if you manage to make him your humble servant ...
Furthermore,
Don't keep a tight rein on this powerfull horse of yours who frames your rationale,
and don't forget to stable him before practicing your meditation...
Would your little monkey seize the reins of your horse,
then you could never approach the Zen Master...

...Won't you dare to forget, ô dear reader, that nothing is perennial...

but
it is fortunately so with Tyranny,
Misery, Illness and Death...

this one remains hanging, shackled,

Escaping from things

If it is true that one shouldn't cling to things,
It is more crucial not to cling to try to escape from things...
...You mind may be free only insofar as your approach is genuine and extemporaneous...

Untrammeled

...Amid all pseudo-values within our corrupted actual days,
you duly have to create a secure empty space around you,
to untrammel the ropes of ascendency,
take off your poisoned clothes, and rediscover the unfailing brightness
of your inner mind ...

Off the Cross

...This is no reasoning but arguing,
as you subordinate and tie down every action of yours to your mental...

You must accept not to want nor to be able to analyze everything,
and recant about wanting to keep control on everything...
...Then you shall be able to get down from your torturing cross...

The Nonabiding Basis

...This is getting one's freedom as one chooses to desobey
a person that doesn't deserve his place...
...It is so in all places and times since mankind got memory...
Only in freeing your mind you acquire greatness...
Forget the rules, be untroubled

Don't forget Lao Tseu, dear reader !
"To run things, be undiplomatic:
No diplomat is fit to run things"...

A Mind Lost in Confusion


...Sinking within duality only entails deep confusion,
whereas between Affirmation and Negation stands the palette
fitted with Life's whole colouring, and a mind brush
enabling to move among all its hues...

Isn't it proper to get all the rungs on a ladder than
only getting both end rungs, if you happen to want to climb or get down ?

...Think about it Dear Reader...

A Meditating Place


... Is Life so short or so long ?
Whatever it is, Everyone has to try to build a Meditating Place
within its right reasonable assignment...
Everything is possible, from a tiny winy garden shed, up to
any prospective luxurious white-stoned palace...
Even best should be you way, would you entrust your meditating shelter
to someone intending to develop his own spirituality...

Mimile designed and realized this quaint little kiosk in Brittain,
close to Paimpol, in the XXth century...

...A time for everything and everything at a time...
