    Hi Gary,
    Thank you very much for your note,
    I found it was my wrong because I thought this book is Japanese Haikues (the same book that Shamlu collected).
    anyway I have some Iranian haiku but I'm not a translator and as you know that's difficult to translate them to English,
    can you read farsi?

    "In this world we are on the roof of hell and we are admiring the flowers" I found this in a book about Zen once, I think is by a man called Isa...should I understand that when one understands inside what Zen and Haiku are, when he reaches the proper internal state, one would be able to feel the Haiku and write it? sorry if I'm putting up here total nonsense!

    Dear GG,

    Sorry for being this meticulous) but what then makes buddhism go beyond belief, what kind of knowledge is it that does't intend to comfort but seek the Truth? Please, say, if my reasoning is laming)

    Askar says

    Dear GG,

    The thing that makes me cautious about any religion is that they indeed propose the Answer and monopolise the Truth. All minor and major conflicts around the globe had ethnic-religious mixed background 'cause every nation associates itself with a belief. I mean that we stick to religion 'cause we feel comfortable with the proposed answers, imho, but in fact, the Truth doesn't matter, your belief is what matters, but it is never complete, which really breaks my heart.

    GG, it is real pleasure to find someone with such a really exceptional profile. And no matter what market laws dictate people always wanted to share something, especially ideas. Anyway, I'm happily pretty far from these pre-Christmas and whatsoever vanity af-fairs and more keen on pure Knowledge and action dedicated to pushing the limits. In particular, anything that helps to grope through towards understanding "why live on Earth", "Why all is chymerical", "Then why love, think and suffer". Just an exercise for a mind exhausted by routine)
