How does Afro Latin play in east asian buddhists´everyday

Ordinary days are great. Productive, quiet and meditative, besides I get terrible headaches in crowds. However yesterday something persuaded me to go out and supposedly listen to a Secret Garden dj at the Styrbord Babord in Gothenburg.... but before I go on, how does afro latin actually look like in the everyday life of the rice eating east asian buddhists?

.......yes, ...offerings for their ancestors at the temple, try to be obedient towards their parents, respect for the teachers and then off these kids go happily and polish their skill in street fighting dance. Some street scene in Taiwan: Taiwan vs Japan.... in earlier time ... shiaolin desciples vs samurajs







... so anyway first we sat at the Da Matteo in Viktoriapassagen with eco gelato ( Italian sorbet ), Iced latte, and some panini etc. The atmosphere was very relaxing. The people helping us with our order were effective, friendly, available and helpful whenever we need something.

I read how the coffee shop´s profile goes its way back from an Italian life experience. As I mentioned earlier, I find italian culture similar to east asian in many ways. The generosity, the easy, direct and simple way of talking to another person. I have always wondered over the keywords to this. And it always goes back to one chinese everyday philosophy. The generosity of giving another person and the present circumstances your time at that moment. When you have this ability, only in this manner may you give others the chance to experience you in your ultimate intellect and understanding of things, and therefore only then will you feel appreciated and confirmed as you really are.

Anyway, later with the Secret Garden, I didn´t exactly understand if they were the ones performing just when we came in at around 8 ´clock pm or were they supposed to be expected a little bit later. However, we sat in there and enjoyed something to drink. The people were friendly, and the music was playing it cool and in rythm and tempo with the place which was slowly filling itself up with people. That kind of music which encourages hesitating people to sit down, and see what is going on. It has a certain class of its own which is intellectual, friendly, warmhearted, generous and fire enfusing, yet absolutely a peacemaker. A complete balance of yin and yang, and therefore extremely giving to the essential needs of human being, I thought.

But what more that has made me listen to the music, was somehow the east asian clang in it when it comes to the art of skill polishing. Both the music, the composing master behind it, and DJ exhibit great potential in what they do. So whatever more they shared that evening, or if they later increased the tempo to the R. Massip´s which was the one that has persuaded me to this place in the beginning, whatever I missed later was really a pity, but I really had to run to the bus that will bring me back to Tanumshede just before midnight, back to my ordinary everyday life.

... but like I said a pity, because just like east asians say about skill ... it´s not the expertism that is target. it´s the polishing of the skill ... the potential to perfection.... and many are really getting it right ....

.... so as I understand, no matter if it is music, martial art, or kitchen skill ... the principle of doing things in east asian meaning is the same: the goal is in polishing your skill to perfection...

.... yes, that reminds us to see things with a little bit of humor too, laughter is afterall an important ingredience in buddhistic understanding. Anyway the truth is perhaps, afro latin funk techno mixed mood really do have a great place in the everyday life of east asian buddhists afterall ...
