Death approaches when?
For my dear mom

Stone of discipline
When Zen Master Mark Horemans dedicated and opened the Symondsbury Zen Garden on May 28, 1994, I, as the garden's creator, strictly adhered to the traditional guidelines. This meant placing five stones in the garden.
The Stone of Courage, the Stone of Insight, the Stone of Independence, the Stone of Purification, and the Stone of Wisdom.
Five years after I created the Zen garden in southwest England, I spent some time as a travel journalist in Zimbabwe. In the language of the local Shona, Zimbabwe roughly means "stone houses," which was probably influenced by the Matobo landscape. In this magnificent natural setting, the stones don't just lie around; they reside, indeed, they sit enthroned in the landscape.
These stones from Matobo National Park now inspire an insight I've had. Although the meanings of the five stones at Symondsbury Zen Garden correspond to traditional Japanese Zen, today, I'm adding another stone.
The Stone of Discipline!
Nothing works without discipline, and especially in our time, there is a great lack of discipline. This lack must be remedied with the help of TerLiMa and discipline.

Personal responsibility and prevention
True to the motto, you have to feel if you don't want to listen.
Health insurance contributions continue to rise. And that's just the beginning. The end of the line will be:
Old? Poor? Sick? Sorry, no doctor's appointment.
Unfortunately, the insured are only to blame for the crisis and the current situation. Just take the story of M* published here on TerLiMa-news as an example; it says it all.
Only a radical change of course can possibly save some of the good German health insurance system, which is characterised by solidarity and good benefits.
But since the masses are unfortunately too stupid, nothing will come of it. What a shame, really.
TerLiMa consistently advocates personal responsibility and prevention. The only feasible way!
