"The more the farmer increases the scale of his operation, the more his body and spirit are dissipated. He falls away from a spiritually satisfying life. A life of small-scale farming may appear to be primitive, but it allows me to study the great way. I believe that if one deeply understands the everyday world from which one lives, the greatest of worlds will be revealed." Masanobu Fukuoka

understanding the empty bowl...

'In meditation, i had stumbled on a new way to be with myself. I did not have to run away from my emptiness, or cure it, or eradicate it. I had only to see what was actually there. In fact, far from being "empty," i found that emptiness was a rather "full" feeling. I discovered that emptiness was the canvas, or background, of my being. I did not understand it, but i was much less afraid. My condition had no name, but i could reach down into it...

This is the positive, Buddhist relationship to emptiness; it is not the same imagined void, a terrifying abyss we are in danger of toppling into, but rather the direct body-mind experience of our true condition, of who we really are. Sri Nisargadatta expressed it perfectly when he wrote, "Love tells me I am everything. Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Between the two, my life flows."'

Masanobu Fukuoka inspired me while reading his book 'The One Straw Revolution'....so much so that i found my life path in the search for food security without eroding the top-soil...blessings to him and all others striving for perfection
