Short-tailed Babbler

 Passeriformes - Pellorneidae - Pellorneum malaccense (Kekicau Ekor Pendek)

Long-legged babbler with an almost nonexistent stump for a tail, found in primary and secondary evergreen lowland and foothill forest. Warm brown overall with paler underparts and a gray face with slightly moustached appearance. Upright stance and general profile make it seem almost pitta-like. Forages on or very close to the ground. Not as social as other forest babblers: typically encountered singly or in pairs. Calls are often dry and insect-like or mechanical. Song comprises a beginning phrase of dry chattering notes and a series of around half a dozen descending whistles.

Abbott's Babbler

 Passeriformes - Pellorneidae - Malacocincla abbotti (Kekicau-Belukar Biasa)

Plain, sandy-brown babbler with distinct orange-tan tones to the sides. Note grayish tones to the face and the large heavy bill with a hooked tip. Prefers degraded and secondary forest, where it forages quite slowly and methodically on or near the ground, without the frenetic energy of some other babblers. Moves singly or in pairs. Call repertoire is wide, and includes harsh churrs as well as smooth whistles. Song consists of melodic whistles, usually 3-4 notes.

Experience

Opportunity


An extension, a path - an opportunity.


Apprehension, fear - mainly imagined.

To overcome delusion




The people not fear death,
in what way
how with death 
one frighten them?
If we make people always fear death,
but make innovations,
that one,
I take seize and kill him,
who will dare?
Always there is an executioner to kill,
one kills.
Now taking the place of the executioner to kill,
of the one kills,
this is called taking the place of the great carpenter hews.
Now takes the place of the great carpenter hews,
the one,
rare it is not he injures his hands.

Not having source



 

Reason [is] empty, 
and in employing it apparently [it is] not exhausted.
Profound [it is]
Oh! it resembles the ten thousand things of the ancestor.

It blunts its [own] sharpness.
It unravels  its [own] fetters.
It harmonises its [own] light.
It identifies itself with its [own] dust.

It is tranquil
Oh! it seems like to remain.
I not know whose son [it is].
It seems to be God's antecedent.
