The Sun can be a god, a demon, a mischievous spirit, an omnipotent creator
or a ruthless taker of life. Whatever role it plays, most cultures have
recognized the significance of the Sun as prime controller of all life on
Earth. As you read these, remember they were not stories created to entertain, nor were they written for children. These accounts represent their culture's worldview, a peoples' attempt to explain, understand, and come to grips with nature's phenomena. To the people who tell them, the accounts are as relevant and true, as deeply meaningful and spiritually important, as any scientific explanations. |

ULs often have a basis in fact, but it's their life after-the-fact (particularly in reference to the second and third points) that gives them particular interest." |

| This web site is a collection of stories from the Orient, mostly Zen and Taoist tales. Why am I suggesting that you tell these stories to your neighbors? Is it because these are among the oldest stories in human history and have withstood the test of time? Is it because Zen and Taoism are ancient religions offering profound insights into human nature, the cosmos, and spirituality?... Maybe. Or maybe it's just because they are fun to tell. |
