In 2000 in the jungles of Panama, a young journalist, named Ana, has a chance encounter with a tiny orphaned sloth, which she names Velcro. For nearly two years, the pair is inseparable until finally Ana travels up a remote river to reintroduce Velcro back to the wild. This is the story Ana’s return to Central and South America to see how much has changed since Velcro came into her life. Sloths, once largely ignored, have become a hot topic of scientific researchers. New studies are showing that they’re not so sloth-like after all, that they have social structures, they move like primates, and that males keep small harems. Sloth sanctuaries and rehabilitation centers are also springing up throughout the Americas as development displaces these gentle creatures. Shot on location in Panama, Costa Rica and Colombia this is a story of friendship and a growing network of people working to learn more about sloths in order to protect them.

 ana becomes emotional releasing sloth back to its natural habitat … :  suggestive of ann powers of ann arbor and the graduating classes of the university on the eve of the celebration of the year 2000 millenium … “the nightmare before christmas” movie … suggestion to “outsiders” who would jump in to manipulate the situation is that there were no “quarantines” [tectonic separation of island of japan from mainland china and kho^ng ddo^.i tro+`i chung yarmulke properly interpreted as humbleness to a common God not as defiance quarantine of peers in previous note and “uniqueness” in Original Sin of Creation] … only “love” … between university or michigan at ann arbor and former students alumni professors emeritus researchers etc. who left the university on the commotion-filled eve of the judeo-christian year 2000 millenium celebration …

to^n an bought both above books at about the same time before graduating leaving university of michigan at ann arbor the joshua seemingly at urging of another book browser happens to be browsing near him in the book store just before the year 2000 millenium celebration: “THIS arises; THAT arises” we are all in this together now and it is best if we aim for zoroaster goodness if [it is sometimes hard… e.g. in the heat of anger that could “blind” one to reasons … but we must try to not imagine/dream to not see/hear/say the states “you’re not ok/well; i’m not ok/well”, “you’re not ok/well; i’m ok/well”, “you’re ok/well; i’m not ok/well”:  no one in their right mind … meaning no one who is well and not afflicted with e.g. blinding anger or such … would advocate/suggest/broadcast negatives … would even be associated or found in company with negatives …. well enough people would try hard to be associated with positive “you’re ok/well; i’m ok/well” and only open their mouths/eyes/ears to suggest “you’re ok/well; i’m ok/well” that’s why to^nan prayed for the people to get better [because something or someone they’re getting is not best for them is not well for them] to get well who would shooed him away with threats e.g. “next [negative]…”

… because threats are rather “negative” … c.f. previous notes about positive reinforcement and b f skinner behavior modification the star ba’c ho^` “tra(m na(m tro^`ng ngu+o+`i” grandiose …

“Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I’ll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select–doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief, and, yes, even beggarman and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors. I am going beyond my facts and I admit it, but so have the advocates of the contrary and they have been doing it for many thousands of years.” –John B. Watson, Behaviorism, 1930

versus the stripe’s more humble “cha me. sinh con tro+`i sinh ti’nh” … c.f. yarmulke humbleness in previous note …

Cùng nhau đi tới Saigon
Cùng nhau đi tới Saigon
Thủ đô yêu dấu nước Nam tự do
Dừng chân trên bến Cộng Hòa
Người Trung Nam Bắc một nhà
Về đây chung sống hát khúc hoan ca

Ngựa xe như nước rộn ràng
Ngập muôn sức sống tiềm tàng
Đèn đêm tung ánh sáng như hào quang
Lòng vui chân bước dật dờ
Đường đi quanh khúc Bàn Cờ
Cùng nhau vui sống ấm say tình thơ

DK:
Người ơi Saigon chốn đây
Là Ngọc Viễn Đông
Vốn đã lừng danh
Nắng lên muôn chim đùa hót
Muôn hoa cười đón
Vinh quang ngày mới

Cùng nhau đi tới Saigon
Là nơi du khách dập dồn
Từ năm châu tới viếng thăm Thủ Đô
Dòng sông chen chúc tàu đò
Ngựa xe buôn bán hẹn hò
Người dân no ấm sống đời tự do

… see universe with size/shape in previous notes .. you won’t have to deal with evil and good circular/sized/shaped expansion of a “point” which causes “the way of all flesh” dissipation/aggregation “see/hear/say evil” cycles as pointed out in previous note and by buddha’s “there is a way to cease suffering” and to “see/hear/say no evil only good” … even when you seem to have expanded/sinned/chosen/sided  e.g. north korea and south korea by viewing north korea and south korea not as mutual nemesis but as parallel worlds on parallel tracks/grooves c.f. independent pendula pendulum waves … incidentally pendulum waves says “you’re only racing thi … die^~m thi … or rushing or ca’o delay in the sense of you’re trying to keep up or to synchronize with the universal Perpetual Motion of things that be” c.f. dhammapada saying about “racing” “one’s own self conquered/out-raced is the greatest of conquest/out-race”  …

 mushroom tofu soup with side dishes = “samples” in previous note about nyquist sampling theorem at tofu house in dublin california …

… when you ‘tu”/”stay” ye^n with the “beyond evil and good”  … which is the same as “all-good” as zoroaster “all-good” … “point”  aim “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng; everyone live well and long”  … negatives do not cancel/balance positives e.g. “you’re not ok/well; i’m ok/well” because the you and the I are or might be independent … bob dylan’s song “did you think I made contact” …  like the pendula in pendulum waves instead ho`a and balance is mutual independent co-existence is “all good” is “all positives” is “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng so^’ng la^u; everyone live well and long” … if you believe in eternal co-existence you would nha^~n endure the best you can barring “acts of God” to suppress the negatives and only broadcast zoroaster good/goodness “you’re ok/well; i’m ok/well” for Mr. “Eternal/Eternity Now” Ecclesiastes warns of the negatives you broadcast coming back to haunt you “Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty. 14God … or “the way of all flesh” that has chosen to expand the “point” “form” into a “form” with size/shape that takes sides evil/good, star/stripe, small/large, black/white  etc. {even though we live in a universe with size/shape we can learn/earn/achieve the “see/hear/say no size/shape” “mind our own business” way that effectively/practically puts us in our own groove”} … will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad.”] we aim for “you’re ok/well; i’m ok/well”  … jesus christ could not be resurrected if buddha is also not resurrected if it is not true that “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng so^’ng la^u; everyone live well and long” and when there is perfect cooperation between the two … e.g. in buying the two books … between everyone and  “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng so^’ng la^u; everyone live well and long” then it doesn’t matter the resurrection because everyone muo^n loa`i would be here and there and no one would know the difference … that is jesus christ and buddha would be with us would stay with us and we wouldn’t know any difference … that is the nature of the equilibrium path or the an pha^.n path or the path of wellness or the middle path … when one is well and live long and contented an pha^.n one thinks not of resurrection … for the notion of resurrection is an illusion born of not following the equilibrium path of wellness and an pha^.n …[one might ask how could it be that one is not following not desiring/driving/loving/aiming the path of equilibrium and wellness and contentment and an pha^.n for isn’t it true that everything is/are paths of equilibrium and wellness and contentment and an pha^.n?  well, true everything is/are paths of equilibrium and wellness and contentment and an pha^.n, …. and the past the present and the future are all points on this  path of equilibrium and wellness and contentment and an pha^.n  … but Perpetual Motion enforces the switch from past to present to future as though the past is not an pha^.n contented well enough or equivalent to the present is not an pha^.n contented well enough or equivalent to the future …. and the illusion of resurrection/re-incarnation/return and not contented not an pha^.n not well originates in one seeing/hearing/saying the switch from past to present to future … e.g. usually switches suggests discontent otherwise wouldn’t you stay if you are contented? thus why switch from daytime to nighttime if you are contented with daytime and the answer is because without nighttime there would be no daytime  … ubuntu … “THIS arises; THAT arises” … “daytime arises; nighttime arises” … to contrast and define it … similarly with the seasons autumn winter spring summer … :  to^n ddi.nh and die^~m and mother bought to^nan winter coat so that the switch from summer to autumn to winter and eventually to spring and return/resurrect/reincarnate to summer won’t be obvious to to^nan so that to^nan would have eyes/ears/mouths but as though not see/hear/say the evil of the switch from summer to autumn to winter …previously mother and to^nan tried at ross to winterize but not succeeding so we bought guylian and turtle chocolates instead to keep us warm … either way or both ways food + clothing winterize … turns out to^n dddi.nh & die^~m had done bought us some clothing before we return to cali but we forgot …] …. for otherwise everyone and everything are here in the here and now past present and future all roll into one in the moment although everything won’t be able to recognize/sense everything’s presense for everything would be practically “invisible” … the “invisible everyman” …  because the state of equilibrium and wellness and an pha^.n is characterized by senselessness/insensibilities by “have eyes/ears/mouths but as though cannot see/hear/say evil only see/hear/say good/goodness/godliness/god” …

 ngu+o+`i chie^’n si~ vo^ danh =  invisible man = lao-tzu “the TAO that can be named or split into sides or who has size/shape or whose size/shape can be seen/heard/mouthed instead of point is not the eternal TAO” = “contented an pha^.n man = anna’s annie’s guy = “there is no nemesis: we have seen the enemy and s/he is us” “vo^ thu+o+`ng” ” muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng so^’ng la^u; everyone live well and long” …:  to^nan appreciated the stars that made made their appearance known to the the world instead of be invisible … though of course you can be stars and be invisible at the same time if you are a humble bie^’t tha^n bie^’t pha^.n la`m ho`a vo+’i stripes according to song “who do you think you are a superstar well right you are we are all stars all superstars we all shine on …”  … invisible = lucky enough to not be the sole focus of other people who “see/hear/say no evil focus” by generally focusing on “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng so^’ng la^u; everyone live well and long” … this thanksgiving co^ be^ will be coming with david lowe who said this about his version of behavior modification “100 na(m tro^`ng ngu+o+`i” “I try to let the other person thinks/feels they have thought it up themselves” …  see note on ghost/spies/specs …if you have to spy/spec try to do it so that  “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng so^’ng la^u; everyone live well and long”  … which usually entail “see/hear/say no evil” in the thing/person you’re spying/spec-ing on … try to see/hear/say  “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng so^’ng la^u; everyone live well and long”  …

John 1: 9The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.

10He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him. 11He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. 12But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. 13They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.

14So the Word became human^d and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness.^e And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.

Bản phổ thơ:
(Thích Nhất Hạnh)

Bồ Tát Quán Tự Tại
Khi quán chiếu thâm sâu
Bát Nhã Ba La Mật
(tức Diệu Pháp Trí Ðộ)
Bổng soi thấy năm uẩn
Ðều không có tự tánh
Thực chứng điều ấy xong
Ngài vượt thoát tất cả
Mọi khổ đau ách nạn.

Nghe đây Xá Lợi Tử:
Sắc chẳng khác gì không
Không chẳng khác gì sắc
Sắc chính thực là không
Không chính thực là sắc
Còn lại bốn uẩn kia
Cũng đều như vậy cả.

Xá Lợi Tử nghe đây:
Thể mọi pháp đều không
Không sanh cũng không diệt
Không nhơ cũng không sạch
Không thêm cũng không bớt
Cho nên trong tánh không
Không có sắc, thọ, tưởng
Cũng không có hành thức
Không có nhãn, nhĩ, tỷ
Thiệt, thân, ý (sáu căn)
Không có sắc, thanh, hương
Vị, xúc, pháp (sáu trần)
Không có mười tám giới
Từ nhãn đến ý thức
Không hề có vô minh
Không có hết vô minh
Cho đến không lão tử
Cũng không hết lão tử
Không khổ, tập, diệt, đạo
Không trí cũng không đắc

Vì không có sở đắc
Khi một vị Bồ Tát
Nương Diệu Pháp Trí Ðộ
(Bát Nhã Ba La Mật)
Thì tâm không chướng ngại
Vì tâm không chướng ngại
Nên không có sợ hãi
Xa lià mọi vọng tưởng
Xa lìa mọi điên đảo
Ðạt Niết Bàn tuyệt đối

Chư Bụt trong ba đời
Y Diệu Pháp Trí Ðộ
Bát Nhã Ba La Mật
Nên đắc vô thượng giác
Vậy nên phải biết rằng
Bát Nhã Ba La Mật
Là linh chú đại thần
Là linh chú đại minh
Là linh chú vô thượng
Là linh chú tuyệt đỉnh
Là chân lý bất vọng
Có năng lực tiêu trừ
Tất cả mọi khổ nạn

Cho nên tôi muốn thuyết
Câu thần chú Trí Ðộ
Bát Nhã Ba La Mật
Nói xong đức Bồ Tát
Liền đọc thần chú rằng:

Yết đế, Yết đế
Ba la Yết đế
Ba la Tăng yết đế
Bồ đề tát bà ha
