Dedicating all works to Me in a spiritual frame of mind, free from desire, attachment, and mental grief, do your duty. (3.30)
Those who always practice this teaching of Mine, with faith and free from cavil, are freed from the bondage of Karma. (3.31)
But, those who carp at My teaching and do not practice it, consider them as ignorant of all knowledge, senseless, and lost. (3.32)

One develops attachment to sense objects by thinking about sense objects. Desire for sense objects comes from attachment to sense objects, and anger comes from unfulfilled desires. (2.62)


Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion. Reasoning is destroyed when the mind is bewildered. One falls down (from the right path) when reasoning is destroyed. (2.63)

The core of Byobu is made with lightweight wood in order to make it as light as possible. Depend on the painting, it is carefully planned to have a good balance of matting and painting.

Major processes

Design: Style and size are planned depending on the painting and the most suitable materials are chosen.

Framework: The core and frame are made as light as possible using lightweight wood such as Sawara cypress or paulownia.

Preparation : Four layers of handmade Japanese paper are repeatedly pasted to increase its strength. This process ensures a foundation of lightweight yet strong Byobu.

Making of paper hinge: Each of the frameworks are bound together with paper hinges to make a 6-folding screen.

Shaving frames: Any gaps which may be seen when the 6 frameworks are put together will be corrected by shaving the wood.

Layers of base papering: To make a smooth surface finish, only edges of the frame are pasted.

Surface preparation: The surface is first covered with matting-paper then strips of gold textile are pasted.

Siding: Paper is pasted on the side of the frames.

Attaching fittings: Real lacquer-ware edges are attached around the Byobu.

Metal fittings: Metal fittings are attached at the edges and corners of the Byobu.

Mounting art: Finally paintings are lined and mounted onto the Byobu.

And then came the day when the art student saw clearly what she was meant to concentrate on for the next three or more years of her life... it stuck her so completely suddenly that she nearly fell from her chair. she thanked God for that awesome idea and got to work. Future is clear... of course, time changes its course constantly so it is impossible to say for sure, but now she had a plan. And she was happy.

Get out a sheet of paper to write on.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you ever known someone who died? Yes
Who was it? Sakari Rautaheimo, a boy in my class
Is there anything you wish you could have said to them that you never did? I fancied him very much, and I never told him...

Here is the scenario: You are dying in four weeks of a painless disease, and they moved you to a room where only four people can fit in, and you can bring three of your posessions. List these:


People:
1. Mum
2. Isabel
3. Gautam
4. Dad


Posessions:
1. Book I'm reading at that moment (want to finish before, y'know)
2. Any unfinished drawing I might have.
3. Computer with net access so I could sort my shit out


Alright. Why did you pick these people?
I wanted to see them before, y'know (I dont want to say the word so I wont jinx anything), and out of courtesy too a little bit, I doubt I'd really want to see my parents in this sort of state.

Is there anything you'd like to tell them?
Write it down.
"It's ok, it don't hurt or anything. Don't worry bout me, my score with God is settled. I'll get to that green field after the rain soon, real soon. I'll finally meet Him, and I'll get to talk to him, it's gonna be awesome." I'd ask how my dog was doing and would it be possible for him to come see me too.

Next: Two weeks later, your case has worsened, and you can only have two people with you now. Who would they be?


1. Mum
2. Isabel


Why these two? Mum will hopefully bring my dog to see me (no way I'm dying in a hospital, so it's ok). Isabel, because I can tell her anything.
What would you like to tell them? Probably repeat earlier stuff, maybe kid a bit to try to make them feel better "You don't need to worry anymore Isabel, now you have an insider up there, I'll ask God to go easy on you... He'll give you a new nice roommate, ok?"


Next: It is your final hour, and you are ready to die (painlessly). You may see one person.
Who would it be? Gautam
Why them? I would insist to see him last so I'd have something nice to remember.
What would you like to tell them?"You are the best thing ever happened to me" And I'd kiss him (taking that I'm not contagious or icky or anything) and say I'm sorry we never got round to the actual sex-part.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The question is, why haven't you told them already?
Why didn't you get to say that final word to the one who died?
What if you died in the next five minutes, without warning? What you wanted to say has gone unsaid.
Why wait?
If you would tell them when you die, why not tell them now?

Consequences? Whats the worst that could happen? If you would trust them with your secrets at your time of death, the time of which they will remember you the most, why not tell them now?

Argument for art. From "Dead Poets society"

John Keating: We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless--of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life? Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse." That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?

Some poor village is missing they're idiot.
Not all who wander are lost.
Never under estimate stupid people in large groups.
Why do Cats get 9 lives and I don't even get 1?
Reality is a nice place to visit but I don't think I want to live there...
If time is a waste of life and life is a waste of time, lets go get wasted and have the time of our lives!
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but by the moments that take our breath away
I can only please one person everyday... And today isn't your day!(Tomorrow isn't looking too good either.)

You know the worlds going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the American's cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany dosent want to go to war, and...and... the three most powerful men in America are named Bush, Dick, and Colon!

DEEP THOUGHTS ABOUT LIFE
(38) Do you live in the moment?: Not often
(39) Do you consider yourself tolerant of others?: I really do try.
(40) Do you have any secrets?: Not since my mum picked up the hints about my Indian Boyfriend
(41) Do you hate yourself?: Au contaraire, I love me
(42) Do you like your handwriting?: Sometimes, specially when I write in devanagari.
(43) Do you have any bad habits?: Not many, eating in bed might be the worst one.
(44) What is the compliment you get most from people?: Too many people tell me I'm sexy but I don't like it too much. And I get compliments for my drawings.
(45) If a movie were made about your life, what would it be called?: The secret life of Bees.
(46) What's your biggest fear?: Sickness, so I'd have to stay in a hospital, being helpless...
(47) Can you sing: Quite well too I think
(48) Do you ever pretend to be someone else just to look cool?: I am cool on my own, or so my roommate told me...
(49) Are you a loner?: Yes, but not lately...
(51) If you were another person, would you be friends with you?: If I wasn't too shy about me... I can get shy around people I like and I kinda like me... o.O
(52) Are you a daredevil?: Occasionally, when there's an opportune moment for it. Not in the same sense as stupidity goes...
(54) Are you passive or aggressive?: Deffinately passive
(55) Have you got a question?: Do we really need money?
(56) What is your greatest strength and weakness?: Weakness first: being easily intimidated, strength: Having a positive outlook on anything and adapting into anything
(57) If you could change one thing about yourself?: Which one would it be? Is that the question? Well, I'd fix a few outer things I guess, because inside I'm all adamantium.
(58) There are three wells, love, beauty and creativity, which one do you choose?: Oh no, usually I'd go for creativity, but recently I've sort of enjoyed love very much... I can't live without creativity... but would I give up love for that? No, or maybe... T_T
(59) How do you vent?: I don't. Or if I do, I just cry.
(60) Do you think you are emotionally strong?: Humm, interesting... no, I don't think so. I can be stubborn emotionally, but not strong.
(61) Is there anything you regret doing/not doing in life?: Yes. Not telling Sakari I fancied him before he died.
(62) Do you think life has been good so far?: Yes.
(63) What is the most important lesson you've learned from life?: Just go and talk to the scary people, they will probably want to help you...
(64) What do you like the most about your body?: Legs and feet...
(65) And least?: What do I like least? I dunno, I'm so used to being me, that I don't care anymore... I hate my stomach when it hurts, because other sort of pain I can take but not stomach ache.
(66) Do you think you are good looking?: 'Good looking' ... well, I'm not bad looking.
(67) Are you confident?: In some things.
(68) What is the fictional character you're most like?: At the moment Wolverine, tho [iippo] is quite nice too :P
69) Do people know how you feel?: Isabel can just look at me and she knows perfectly... and to some people I tell, so if they remember what I said, they should know...
(70) Are you perceived wrongly?: Occasionally, but that could be the language-problem... and some people think I'm stupid, but that is also based on the language problem.
