  • As a hobby and life’s work, I am continuously studying public philosophy, Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism. As a result of his 50 years of study with the I Ching, he has come to understand that the I Ching has a worldview that combines the principles of learning organization and autonomous decentralized organization with the advantages of governance structure (e.g., of a company), and that it preaches a way of life that adapts a self-interested and altruistic moral philosophy to daily situations. It teaches a way of life that adapts the moral values of self-interest and altruism to daily situations.

  • It was not Senge’s “The Learning Organization” but another book with a similar name, I misunderstood at first.

It’s interesting that the commentary says “in my own way.”

• The question “What should I do?” is not appropriate; “How about this?” “What is the situation?” “What attitude should I take in this situation?” is better.
• If there are two options, divine each, both good or both bad
  • You’re talking about choosing the wrong two options.
    • Odo Mumon, there are a thousand roads
• Do not divine the same thing twice. If the meaning is not clear after divination, reverse the divination by saying, “Well, what if I don’t do this?

• Some people avoid dice, but my experience is that they produce a decent oracle, are easy to carry, and take very little time.”
  • I didn’t know they sold special dice.
