Dark Hawk-Cuckoo

Cuculiformes - Cuculidae - Hierococcyx bocki (Sewah Tekukur Gunung)

Large long-tailed cuckoo with a distinctly raptor-like appearance. As with most other hawk-cuckoos, often perches deep in tall trees; best detected by its song, a piercing and repetitive “wit-CHEW-WEE”. If seen well, note adult’s dark gray back, rufous chest, and barred white belly; juvenile has streaked throat and browner upperparts. Found in montane and foothill forest.

Silence need not mean consent, the interaction is simply not right.

Nourishing (one's) person

 

In the world, [when] all know beauty in its acting as beauty,

then [there is] ugliness only.

[When] all know goodness in its acting as goodness

then [there is] not goodness only.

For existence [and] non-existence mutually are produced.

The difficult the easy mutually are perfected.

The long the short mutually are shaped.

The high [and] the low mutually are inclining.

Tone [and] voice mutually are harmonised.

The before [and] the after mutually follow.

Therefore the holy man dwells in not-doing in his business.

He practises not-saying in his education.

The ten thousand things arise there! and not he refuses [them].

He produces and not he owns.

He acts and not he claims

Merit he accomplishes and not he dwells.

For as much just [as] not he dwells therefore not he departs.

Certainty

Certainty ... not even beauty is

 

"Form is ...."

"Form is exactly Emptiness;

Emptiness is exactly Form."

revel as it is

and what it is

and it is as it is
