Sekedar mengingatkan bahwa setelah Zen dibawa oleh DT Suzuki ke Barat, dan mendapat sambutan postif, maka dalam waktu singkat muncullah penulis2 yang sangat kreatif mengembangkannya spt OSHO. Itu semua berkat adanya iklim kebebasan.
Tapi pihak zen sendiri melihat itu sebagai sekedar intro saja, pembukaan dari perjalanan panjang yang masih hrs ditempuh melalui latihan dan terus berlatih. " perjalanan ribuan kilometer dimulai dengan langkah pertama " (Lao Tzu)
Dulu waktu di SD kita diajarin mencongak. Gurunya memberikan soal supaya dijawab secara spontan.
Misalnya : 25 x 7. Sang murid hrs spontan bisa menjawab 175 sebagai tanda telah menguasai ilmunya.
Kalau dia mengambil kertas dulu dan menulis angka 25 x 7 lalu secara bertahap menghitung 7 x 5 = 35.
Kemudian angka 3 + 7 x 2 = 17 + 5 = 175, maka tidak lulus.
Mencongak bukan ilmu yang didapat ujug2, tapi buah latihan terus menerus menghitung diatas kertas dan tidak bisa dipelajari secara kognitif saja.
Apalagi ajaran supaya memaafkan , sabar dsb. Betapa sulitnya antara yang diomongkan dan dikerjakan.
Kalau ' makan , minum, tidur, kencing, bernafas dsb' harus dikerjakan sendiri dan tidak bisa dititipkan pada orang lain untuk mengerjakan, apalagi memaafkan, bersabar dsb.
Konfusius mengatakan ' kalau kamu mengingat dan melihat saja, maka akan lupa, tapi kalau kamu kerjakan, akan menjadi bagian darimu '. Tujuan latihan zen adalah supaya kebenaran bisa dipraktekkan secara spontan dan akurat.
=====
Zen tidak menafikan kogintif knowledge, tapi hanya menempatkan pada porsinya yaitu seperti telunjuk yang menunjuk ke bulan, bukan bulan itu sendiri. Kalau kita berhenti pada telunjuk, maka tidak pernah sampai ke bulan.
Sebaliknya tanpa telunjuk, kita tidak tahu dimana posisi rembulan.
Ini pernah ditulis juga oleh Gede Prana beberapa waktu lalu di harian Kompas.
Karena itu zen bisa compatible dengan agama apa saja. Misalnya di Jepang hal yang lumrah rohaniwan Katolik mengunjungi Zen temple dan sebaliknya. Pusat meditasi zen banyak dikunjungi juga oleh orang beragama lain.
=======
Pak Wolker mengutip pandangan tentang ilmu menurut anak2 Cartesian yang pendekatannya " saya berpikir karena itu saya ada ". Ini juga tidak sepenuhnya salah, tapi hanya kini mulai semakin disadari kekurangannya dan bermasalah.
Puncaknya spt dikatakan oleh Socrates adalah I know that I don't know.
Padahal di Timur berpendapat I don't know that I know sehingga bisa keluar spontan dan akurat.
Kalau masih I know that I know, maka itu masih cetek.
Forum spt millis ini adalah tempatnya untuk mengexplore sampai dimana kekurangannya supaya bisa silih asah-asuh-asih.
Kalau dibicarakan di lembaga resmi ya akan susah berkembang.
Yudi Latif dalam Sekapur Sirih di buku Kearifan Timur membuka dengan perumpamaan 4 orang yang menemukan sekeping uang dan bertengkar masing2 mau dipakai untuk kepentingan sendiri : membeli anggur (Persia) inab (Arab) uzum (Turki) stafili (Yunani). Setelah ketemu seorang bijak , akhirnya dibelikan anggur dan semuanya puas karena itulah yang dimaui.
Sebenarnya banyak pertanyaan yang sudah terjawab bila penanya sudah membaca buku Kearifan Timur.
Tapi kalau saya merekomendasikan spy dibaca dulu, nanti dikira mau jualan !
======
Millis ini bermanfaat bagi orang yang terbuka dan tidak berpretensi sebagai pemenang karena yang diajak diskusi toch pakai nama samaran. Sikap yang tepat adalah bersedekah ilmu pengetahuan supaya bisa saling memperkaya.
Siapa tahu bisa menyelamatkan orang buta yang sedang berjalan menuju lubang mengangga di depannya.
Kan pahalanya besar bukan ?

Topik: Re: [psikologi_transfor
There is wisdom in Nature and knowledge in Scholarship. Nature
teaches us what works and what doesn't work. Knowledge teaches us
how to use our senses, how to observe nature, how to evaluate it, how
to record life lessons, and how others before us did the same. We
first learn wisdom in life by experience, (usually painful
experience) and then as we grow, we recognize wisdom in life by
example. Through knowledge and wisdom, we eliminate fear, which
produces understanding. We begin to understand who we are and why we
are here. We recognize with generosity, others stumbling while
seeking their way, and develop a keen awareness and love for the
miracle that is all Life - and that includes oneself.
There is no spell to achieve this. Wisdom is a life long
experience. You must seek knowledge to awaken wisdom. The more we
know, the more we realize how much we don't know. The wiser we grow,
the more wisdom we sense is yet to be discovered. With each step, we
grow larger in each other´s sight, we grow larger in the sight of the
gods, and it follows, the gods grow larger within us. Experiencing
this knowledge, we find true humility and peace from the inside out.
But do the spell anyway, to open that first door.

Sewaktu Hendrik Syiah menjawab "PEDAS " terhadap 'tantangan' Pak
Jusuf soal rasa cabe, maka saya menilai jawaban itu menukik tepat di
jantung penanya.
Berlebihan dalam sesuatu pandangan akhirnya akan jatuh pada sisi
dimana pandangan tersebut kurang mempunyai landasan nalar yang sehat
dan seimbang.
Pengetahuan dan pengalaman berjalan beriringan.
Bisa jadi petugas travel akhirnya bisa pergi ke tujuan wisata, karena
pengetahuannya membuat dia bisa menjalin relasi dan menciptakan
network. Dan memudahkan dia menjadi guide. Dengan begitu suatu saat
dia bisa pergi wisata. Hal seperti ini barangkali tidak berlaku bagi
teller bank.
Knowledge management tidak mengharuskan orang mengalami dahulu.

nature shg bisa muncul spontan dan akurat pada saat diperlukan. Kalau
hanya konseptualisasi dan verbalisme saja. maka seperti petugas
travel agent yang mengumpulkan berbagai brosur dan menawarkan tujuan
wisata di seluruh dunia, tapi dia sendiri belum pernah pergi
mengunjunginya

Solitariness is just physical aloneness, solitude is spiritual
aloneness. If you are just
