Lunar New Year






Passing on to All

New Year greetings
from Monk Dae Yo
Hwa Eom Sa
The 19th Branch Temple of Korean Buddhist Chogye Order

눈이 많이 오고 강추위도 잦았던
겨울이 지금도 기성을 부리네요

화엄사 향기님들 모두 평안하시지요

기축년이 어느덧 가고

경인년 신년이 시작이면서
민족 고유의 명절인 설날이 오네요

올해는 연휴가 짧아
고향에 머무시는 시간도 많지 않고
혹여 길이 막히지 않을까 싶은데
느긋한 마음으로 안전운전 하셔서
무사무탈하게 잘 다녀오세요

복 많이 지으시고 평안하시길 바랍니다

♬까치까치 설날은 ♬

♬ ♬ Magpie Magpie New Year is ♬ ♬

Heart Play

My thoughts are wounds in my head. My brain is a scar. I want to be a machine. Arms to drag legs to walk no pain no thinking. (Heiner Müller , 'Hamletmachine' ) Heartplay A May I lay my heart at your feet. B If you don't make a mess on my floor.. A My heart is clean.. B We'll see, won't we.. A I can't get it out.. B Would you like me to help you.. A If you wouldn't mind.. B It'll be a pleasure. I can't get it out either.. A cries. B I will remove it surgically. What have I got this penknife for anyway. We'll have this sorted out in no time. work will keep you from despair. Right, there we are. But this is a brick. Your heart is a red brick.. A Yes, but it beats only for you.. (1981) A beats B to death with the brick.. (Addition, July 1991). ------------- Heiner Müller ----------------- from Heiner Müller Theatremachine translated and edited by Marc von Henning

 ... moved into a new place ...  ... first night there in a deep sleep was visited by a short middle aged man ... well dressed in a black suit ... seemed to be Korean but not sure ... although silent the figure's presence was so strong i was pulled out of dream to fully awake ... as I lay in bed the after image of him remained standing silently in the hallway just outside the open bedroom door ... he wasn't really looking at me but i felt he sensed i was now aware of his presence and didn't wish to startle me ... finally assured he was a dream figure i fell back to sleep ... only later to be visited again ...  this time not in dream but upon waking saw him standing fully in the doorway ...  a serious, calm face he looked directly into my eyes ...  ...  i knew he was an apparition  & examined his demeanour ... he was likewise examining me with a gentle questioning look ... oh a previous owner of the apartment i thought ... he didn't move or speak ju...

* The teacher rarely tells students what he thinks. * Generally, he does not accept a single statement as an answer to a question. * He encourages student-student interaction as opposed to student-teacher interaction, generally avoids acting as a mediator or judging the quality of ideas expressed. * His lessons develop from the responses of students and not from a previously determined "logical" structure. (Postman & Weingartner, 1969, p. 33-36) * Generally, each of his lessons pose a problem for students. * He rarely summarizes the positions taken by students on the learnings that occur. He recognizes that the act of summary or "closure" tends to have the effect of ending further thought. "* He rarely summarizes the positions taken by students on the learnings that occur.
