Ebola virus disease is a rare but severe illness caused by the Ebola virus that causes symptoms like fever, headache and bleeding. It is initially spread to humans from animals but can then spread between humans through direct contact with body fluids. The current 2014 outbreak in West Africa is the largest in history affecting countries like Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. While the risk of an outbreak in the US is very low, people should avoid non-essential travel to affected areas of West Africa.

The document is a poem titled "Walking Meditation" written by Hitoshi Tsuchiyama. It consists of 6 sections where the speaker describes different actions and states of being - such as walking, touching, blooming, sitting - while in a meditative state without thinking. Each section emphasizes experiencing the present moment fully without internal mental chatter. The overall message is finding peace and freedom through mindfulness during walking meditation.
The document discusses implicate and explicate order according to Hitoshi Tsuchiyama's theory of body awareness. Implicate order refers to body (matter) enfolding into awareness (mind), while explicate order refers to awareness (mind) unfolding into body (matter). Both orders involve the phenomenal world enfolding or unfolding into the noumenal world through thinking and insight.

The first four are based on the teachings of Thích Nhất Hạnh and involve breathing in while visualizing being that object, then breathing out while repeating qualities of that object, such as "fresh, fresh, fresh" for flower and "solid, solid, solid" for mountain. The last meditation, sunshine, was created by the author and involves breathing in while visualizing being the sunshine, then breathing out while repeating "love, love, unconditional love" and visualizing shining love to all unconditionally.
All sufferings are caused by separations, discriminations, or duality. That's because the separation between oneself and others cause all afflictions such as fear, anger and despair. And the root cause of such separations and discriminations is thoughts and notions created by human brain. In this book, I will share the "concrete practice methods to stop thinking" and the "concrete practice methods for the extinction of all notions" and explain their details. These methods have been verified through my own experience and many of them are based on the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, namely the teachings of Buddha. It is my great pleasure if you will awaken true self, touch the wonders of life in the present moment and be filled with peace, joy and happiness through the practice.
The document discusses different levels of self-awareness - ego, temporary true self, and full time true self. Ego is the separate self that is unaware of the interdependence of happiness and suffering. Temporary true self can recognize both positive and negative phenomena but still experiences duality between birth and death. Full time true self has reached enlightenment through realizing the interdependence of all things and experiencing non-duality, resulting in ultimate peace and extinction of all notions. The evolution of humanity involves progressing from ego to temporary true self and ultimately to full time true self.
The document is Hitoshi Tsuchiyama's translation and commentary on the Heart Sutra. It explains that the Heart Sutra aims to guide readers to the non-duality of enlightenment by transcending the duality presented in the Four Noble Truths. It also discusses how interdependent co-arising can help one overcome duality and attain non-duality or emptiness.
