Flint Sparker
Part 3 of 10 of "What is Life?" is the Third Admonition of Lao Mu and this is what she said:
Tao is the most supreme.
Lao Mu advised the cultivators to hurriedly attain enlightenment. Wake up to the truth and Tao; emptiness is not actually empty. Existence is nothingness; nothingness is existence. Both existence and nothingness are of the same essence.
Image is emptiness; emptiness is image.
The void is neither an image nor emptiness.
When discussing about mysticism and talk about the void, not many can understand. It cannot be seen or heard, yet encompass all images and emptiness. It is the true Lord, the great pivot, creates and cultivates all beings, it is beyond images and emptiness. It transcends nine strata of Heaven and with nothing beneath, it encompasses nine strata of Hell and ten halls of Justice in the underworld.
The spiritual world and earth and all beings within will disappear, if departed from it. It is forced to name TAO or the True One, and is used to convert and save the cosmos.
It is the True Origin, The Void or the permanent root known as Wu-Ji (in Chinese).
When Tao is in the spiritual world, it is clear and the cosmos revolves. It moves the sun, moon and the spirit flows smoothly.
When is on Earth, it forms into mountains and streams to cultivate and nourish.
All beings and existence arise and nourish on TAO.
When Tao is in human, it has life and can feel and move. Human has Tao and sadly not aware of it resulting in birth, death and rebirth. The truth embedded in Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism has no difference because all are ordained by Lao Mu. To transmit Tao is to transmit this void and the mystical Three Heavenly Treasures. Ever since the beginning there is only one Dharma and only one Tao. What the Immortals, Buddhas and Saints transmit by meeting of hearts is from the same root and of the same lineage.
Enlightening to the Dharma makes one know all Dharmas. Thousands of Buddhist sutras and scriptures of Saints are expounding the same truth. Thousands of other religion flourished like maze but yet the Truth has not been revealed. The Truth is revealed in Tao of Heaven and is made available to all in accordance to the Heavenly Decree. For the assembly in Heaven known as "Long Hua Assembly" Heaven selects candidates to propagate Tao of Heaven and inherit the secret of the void and the mystical doctrine.
Once you received Tao, you must hurry to accumulate merits and practise the true self through the false self.
Tao is void, if you cannot attain the void then everything you have will vanish.
A human life in this world is like a kernel of corn in the ocean, following the high tide in and the low tide out, unable to distinguish west from east. Alcohol, images and wealth have captivated the original divine nature. The waves of desires never rest and the emotions and love are like shackles chaining and locking you up. Longing for glory, beauty or attaching to wealth and power, one is netted and roped by fame and profit. How could a spark of flint or a flesh of lightning be long lasting?
Taking bitterness as happiness just like ants and flies, how often can you get peace and rest? From young to old age, sweetness and bitterness of life are very sorrowful. In just a flash, karma is formed. Who can escape birth, old age, sickness and death and sufferings? In a blink, a child grows into an old man with grey hair. Coming with nothing and leaving with nothing, you cannot bring along even a penny. Ending up with a lonely grave, your soul reports to the underworld. Regardless of how rich or noble you are, the rewards and punishments are always given. To fulfill karma, animals reincarnate into humans and humans into animals. The more the soul reincarnates, the deeper it is lost and the more it is contaminated.
Those who are awakened become saints or sages and reach the Kingdom of Bliss. Those who are lost become commoners and will fall into the underworld. Deities or Immortals are all achieved by mortals and no one is born as an Immortal, Buddha, Deity or a Saint.
Seek the Enlightened Teacher and receive the Tao so that you can restore your True Selves and return home to Heaven.

Artillery Shells/Fuse thingy?
Okay I'm planning on joining the military soon and would like to know
How much does a 155mm HE artillery shell Weigh?
And also, the thing that they pull to fire the M198-Howitzer. What is it?
Is it some kind of cord attached to flint, or a peizoelectric sparker?
I know I've seen information on the shell weight before but I forgot, and can't find the website anymore. I think it was somewhere between 75-150lbs.
And about the ignition, I was hoping to hear from someone who has expeirience in that.
Okay thx 
Great answers all, really helped me out
M107 155mm Projectile
The M107 is the Army's standard high explosive (HE) projectile used principally for fragmentation and blast effects. The body of this 155mm projectile consists of a hollow steel shell containing high explosive. A fuze adapter is screwed into the body and brazed in place.
The M107, a multi-purpose HE projectile used for blast effect and fragmentation, is probably the most widely used of all United States artillery projectiles and is still one of the 'NATO standard' projectiles by which all others are measured.
The 155mm M107 is a separately loaded munition. The shell is hollow forged of AISI 1045 steel and is a conventional design with a streamlined ogive and a boat tail base to provide aerodynamic efficiency.
A swaged gilding metal drive band encircles the shell casing near the base and is protected by a grommet during storage, transport, and handling.
The fuse-well is occupied by a threaded lifting plug during transit and handling. The plug can be replaced before firing by a wide range of standard and commercial fuses.
Chamberlain is currently producing the M107 at its Scranton Army Ammunition Plant. Chamberlain also has produced the training version of the M107, the M804. This is a hollow forged steel shell containing a small smoke canister in the fuse-well to provide flash and smoke on impact
The cord you are asking about it called a lanyard it is attached to a sear which allows the firing pin to release and iniate the primer by impact, causing the powder charges behind the projectile to burn rapidly causeing gases to expand and push the HE projectile out of the barrel. There are so many different HE rounds the weight is hadt to pin down for you but it can run any where from 13.5 lbs squared weight to well over 55 gross pounds.
