“ hakuin
interprets a certain practice, and thomas cleary disapproves ”
“ question : are not voidness and extinction both false concentrations? later on in the scripture, they are referred to as a high plateau, on dry ground.
how can they be referred to as seeds of buddhahood?
answer : when practitioners' minds suddenly open up clearly in concentration, the light of insight shines forth, splitting even an atomic particle to reveal the whole body of vairochana buddha. then demons and buddhas are one suchness, wrong and right are simultaneous. all beings, animate and inanimate, are all without exception elements of the seed of buddhas ”
( ed. the above quote is from hakuin ekaku's essay “ the seventh consciousness stabilization ” )
hakuin ekaku was enlightened, Thomas cleary is not, that's his problem !
if you are enlightened, you just reinterpret the rubbish called “sacred texts” to give some real insight, that's what hakuin was doing !
the moronic retards like thomas cleary imagine there to be some secret truth in the voynich of the texts they translate and they themselves to be guardians of it !
well a guardian of a rubbish tip and he gets offended with the fragrant rose rose gardens of hakuin !
“ just to portray it in literary form is to stain it with defilement ”
this is the kamakura/samurai/meiji militarist form of zen as

the nazi
view of zen,
quote by count karlfried dürckheim
zen is above all a religion of will and willpower; it is profoundly averse to intellectual philosophy and discursive thought, relying, instead, on intuition as the direct and immediate path to truth

it's interesting that this

andrew, do you have any close friends in real life that you connect with?
besides my fiance, i do not have any other friends.
my
reply
i notice some people are friendly to me and some are not but personally i tend to treat people evenly, even if they have injured me !!!!!!!!!!!!!
people are always disturbed by me even if i say something innocuous (or not! :o)
just something in the way i think upsets them, too deconstructive !
some people often hold it against you showing them things
clearer in the light of day (so to speak!) against you !?
“ one day, ananda bowed before shakyamuni buddha, paying respects before taking his seat next to him, sitting a while and then saying "admirable friendship, admirable camaraderie is an important part of the holy life"
"don't say that, ananda! don't say that!" the buddha scolded ”
so i sorta have friends and i sorta don't, people who i have built up a relationship with as trustworthy and are not going to shoot me down, but for all that, i don't care for people.............
i can only tolerate people in quite small doses, and they me i think :o)
everyone on reddit zen is like this, (i think ! :o)( , minimal social skills, dysfunctional (life dysfunctional !), (but!) in addition they get things wrong and are victims of a voracious self esteem that puts them on self made gallows ! :o()

no, i'd have to travel an hour at least to find one. i learned that for satori you don't need monastic experience. that's for the gradual cultivation stage. so, i most likely will find one (or perhaps try the life of a hermit), but no, not yet. how about you? :)

cut back on wheat and
grains, get some fresh animal fat in your diet and eat a big meal at breakfast !
there is a circadian meal clock, eating at the same time every day is more efficient !
zen mind is plagiaristic and anti intellectual, so clichéd you can stand a spoon in it, so retarded a chicken looks bright by comparison and so dead a ten year old corpse looks alive ! :o(
“ a special transmission outside the scriptures
no dependence on words and letters
direct pointing to the mind of man
seeing into one's true nature and attaining buddhahood ”
this is typical voynich, first two lines right, second two wrong !
well “ seeing into one's true nature ” is also right !
this
guy with his wife Elizabeth Hamilton behaved so badly that joko beck took back the transmission/approval she had given both !
when you read the nonsense he writes you can see he's just a load of crap, typical white plum crap artists !
“ have you taken your medicine? ”
your stock reply ! early (late?) dementia ?
this board (ed. reddit zen) is so full of the senile and mentally incompetent regardless of age !
“ you know it sounds like nothing and it is nothing
you know in my world, the wronger something feels the righter it is
so to waste this much time on something this stupid is
that felt good to me ! ”
it sorta cracks the acting facade to/and lets the real bleed through .........:o)(
what's unusual about seinfeld is the strong charisma of all the main characters, it wasn't that popular at first but it sorta created its own audience which it continued to do even after the series stopped being made !
yeah I worked in quality assurance for years, all you can do is be careful to skill yourself up, that is everything you do should develop skills in you so that you can benefit and not just the company and hopefully one day you can go out and work for yourself !
you could look at the lean quality management system, even get the company to send you on a course or something !
the sort of work you are
doing makes a huge improvement to the viability and profitability of the company, but if my experience is anything to go by, the pay is poor and people resent you, yet all you are doing is making (good !) money for the shareholders and senior management !
“ I get sick with the same thing everytime I come to America. How can I prevent this?
I'm an international student from India and so, everytime I come back for a new semester to America, I always get a fever/sore throat/runny nose. It's really frustrating and happens without fail every single time
I'm assuming it's because of the weather change as I when I go back to India (considerably hotter) nothing happens. How can I prevent this? ”
what makes you vulnerable is jetlag or the circadian
rhythm being out of wack !
this depresses immune function until the rhythm normalizes again !
you can look at trying to adjust the rhythm with for example red light, apparently
melatonin can also help !
it's a bad move to get the gall bladder
removed !
you now have biofilm/microbiome issues and anal yeast/digestive fluid irritation and possibly as you suspect some degree of haemorrhroids !
spices can worsen haemorrhoids !
the BCD

“ after 3 years of high school football, i have received 1 fairly bad concussion with memory loss, loss of conciseness, etc. as well as many less severe concussions with little to no side effects
after the worst one i had in november 2011 i started noticing i was having frequent headaches, difficulty concentrating, trouble reading large sections of text (if its on a website i have to scroll down so the line i am reading is the last line showing on the page) having to read sections over and over again because i cant remember what i read, forgetting if i had turned something off or locked something seconds after i did it, and balance issues when i stand
now it's been 2 years and 2 months and besides the headaches being very rare (but much more painful) i'm still having problems with those issues. is it normal to have these issues over 2 years later? And is there anything I can do to combat these symptoms? ”
fish oil is supposed to help !
quality krill oil is good !
you have a life long issue unfortunately, it's a known problem with football, only nobody tells you !
any, even the mildest concussion is a problem !

then there is the development of “ the band ” as Emily dickinson calls it or “ the sacred aspect ” is I might put it in religious terms
that takes a heap of many many years and you really need to be confident what it is because the world is just like reddit, a bunch of self aggrandizing hubric nay sayers.............
“ i am often very cold, even when others around me are not. i am a 19 year old female, at a healthy weight, and active -- i run nearly every day. i eat a healthy vegan diet. however, strangely, i often feel cold after eating, especially after a larger meal
my blood pressure is a bit lower than normal, but this is actually normal for me, but i'm wondering if that could have something to do with why i'm cold all the time
besides just wearing more clothing, is there anything else i can do?
i feel like i get cold from the inside out, and it's uncomfortable and makes me want to do nothing but sit under a pile of blankets ”
inefficient mitochondria, not much you can do about it !
I have always been like this ! :o(
do you get migraine ? (ed. no !)
migraine is associated with mitochondrial insufficiency too !
actually low
iron helps, might be why you are vegan ?
i'm not vegan, but I donate blood !
-----------------
ok, when i look at what you say where we differ is i always get quite hot, or at least warmer after a meal, whereas you get cold.........
i'm just going to give you some thoughts and please take with a pinch of salt since i am always upsetting people unintentionally........:o)
when we eat there's a strong immune response as the body labels the digested food, so basically there's an induction of a function of the immune system
so this activation of the immune system is causing an abnormal response imo
could be pre-fibromyalgia, raynard's or something ! :o(
anyway i am sure i am writing nonsense !:o)
i find the biofilm/microbiome carbohydrate
diet helpful, it's not vegan but can be modified to it !
there's no one size fits
all , somewhere between 300 and 1500 of D3 for you ?
quality and the state of preservation varies too !
for me it's between zero and 500 to 1000iu a day depending on summer sun exposure !
too much vitamin D does have negative effects !
the other thing is how much vitamin D is really in the capsule or whatever ! ?
it's fragile and degrades and really needs a preservative in !

mudinapuddle, do a retreat for god's sake, get some of that self-righteousness out and some reality of people in !
d.t “ i am a nazi sympathizer ” suzuki and “ acidhead ” alan watts are NOT zen ! :o)(
what amazes me is that most if not just about all the people who post (ed. reddit zen) claiming to know so much about it have never been to a retreat/sesshin !
their lives are drugs or computer games or anything except some real life zen

your zen isn't as profound as you think it is
my
reply
yet it drags you into it :o)
well zen is basically about enlightenment, that's the reality of it, until you are enlightened you should shut up !
you are just playing the “ priest
game ” man !
grab a piece of crap writing from the past, pretend it's meaningful and parade it for all to bow down and worship with you as the high priest of course :o)(
you will never get/be enlightened so you will never have this insight but meander along a dull and decayed wanna be high priest with the turds falling out of the idol you hold up :o(

the mutlivitamin formulations are so badly put together they cause more problems than they solve !
taking supplements has to be done individually with care and finesse !
lightly cooked black gooseberries, blueberries, cranberries and red currents which have anthocyanins in can help with that sort of
thing , they act on the bacterial biofilm in the urethral wall !
“ anthocyanins, natural pigments which are responsible for the blue, purple, violet, and red colours of fruit, are one of the major flavonoid classes ”
if you get headaches prescription glasses would help !
“ The practice of true reality ” truly psychotic nonsense !
drug dealing is more socially productive !
“ is religion just a trick? ”
is self deception a trick ?
“ is zen just a trick? ”
is self deception a trick ?
kogen writes
if you're looking for “ genuine mystical inquiry ” you're right to stay home
my
reply
but i'm not home !
wherever one is , that is transient :o)
“ the armies separated; and, it is said, pyrrhus replied to one that gave him joy of his victory that one more such victory would utterly undo him
for he had lost a great part of the forces he brought with him, and almost all his particular friends and principal commanders; there were no others there to make recruits, and he found the confederates in italy backward
on the other hand, as from a fountain continually flowing out of the city, the roman camp was quickly and plentifully filled up with fresh men, not at all abating in courage for the loss they sustained, but even from their very anger gaining new force and resolution to go on with the war ”
the above quote from plutarch, in
pyrrhus
just reading on
pyrrhus of epirus and thinking about reddit zen !
in the end he was forced out of sicily and italy, what was the point ! ?
you really are off target, but of course have no
interest in being “ on target ” so will pass your life pretending !
zen monastic
training seems to mean eating a crappy
diet and being a work slave, neither of which is at all conducive to genuine mystical inquiry !
each time brad goes to tassajara for his yearly habitual summer working retreat he seems to emerge more moronic from the wheat flour diet and too much contact with people !
I am not defending “institutional celibacy” which is fact as you point out is often a covert paedophilia, homosexuality or common law wife and family
but having lived most of my life in “ unintentional ” celibacy, that is, being autistic and having enough sense to keep clear of the whole business...................
and being in a relationship when much older it's quite obvious that relationship is such a different dynamic as to make genuine inquiry virtually impossible !
and that's without children !
you yourself have fallen foul of this problem, you are just twiddling your thumbs until you die rather than making any genuine inquiry in terms of what zen is about which is certainly not the sort of blinkered clone you have become !
zen is now some sleazy blurr of sperm, penises and vaginas............. the celibacy, constancy and insight of the ancients is now in a state of continual mockery and debasement by manic breeding arseholes !! :o(
reply to dave st. germain
do you see how we don't agree, my certainly is based on my being true !?
you really have a different view and why this matters is simply because I am finding that dealing with people like you and zakaj is too time consuming !
I have had a lot of experience on the net, mostly on the health message boards and there are endless people and need on the net and if contact is not productive then one should move on !
it's simply time and the purpose of this blog is both for my interest and anyone seeking some real and seasoned advice about this whole business............
you, like zakaj are in repeating circles of yourselves and I am here for your entertainment !
pardon me if I would like to pull the plug !
let me lose it, yeah of “ yourself being right ”
you go by the majority, well here is the minority of one and in fact this is only how the mystical path ever is !
ewk has a 9,849 positive karma and I have a negative 134 karma on reddit, what does that say !
anyway I am really asking that people either desist posting here or accept the context which is some combination of mutual discussion and me giving advice to those genuinely interested in what this is all about, you and zakaj are end of timers which I do not criticize except in so much as you are wasting my time, concentration and attention !
yes, ewk like, all time is wasted etc, but actually I have things to do and have trouble splitting attention so the cost of dealing with for instance zakaj's recent nonsense posts is too high : o )
I am only interested in people with a genuine interest in what this about, not people just wasting my time with their own agenda
in particular I am not happy with either dave st. germain or zakaj who have their own views and we will always disagree.............
go you own way, don't waste my time............
if you think you are so right then you don't need here do you !?
honestly, I just can't burn the time the way you needy people so carelessly demand ! :o()
I am really starting to regret the degree of net involvement i have !
the board is not censored, non-one is being stopped from posting, but really would you take your certainty somewhere else :o()
basically genuine proactive interest otherwise F U C K O F F
“ the HSV
survived four hours in the tap water ”
however I think it's extremely unlikely
you will have caught it!
it lacks some of the
symptoms of hpv in the mouth, but you can get very mild conditions where the immune system is not quite keeping it down !
not saying it is, just a thought !
“ is satori/enlightenment/being "awake" real? is it possible? ”
one just develops a better understanding of life over awhile, but all the same falling into major potholes occurs, life is still the disaster area it always was !:o(
you are asking about dai kensho, the real truth is it has to happen as a child as you can never get the full deal as an adult !
so it happened when I was about seven and then again at about 32 since the childhood experience sorta got lost !
zen and this pursuit of kensho and “satori” is entirely misguided, but 99% of zen teachers are not enlightened so what can you expect !?
the mystical path which is basically solitude/contemplation with intelligent reading and questioning is open to everybody and really this is the road you should be on and forget about satori and all that nonsense , things will move in more natural and productive dimensions
dai kensho literally rips your life up and destroys everything, you do not want it and just be thankful it won't happen to you !
it's like waking up a jew in an eternal austerlitz !
“ zen is a celibate tradition ” (quoting me)
“ except in japan, where monks have typically gotten married since the end of the tokagawa shogunate (ie, meiji restoration) ”
yeah, when they became fascists ! with the failure of japan in world war two, zen was discredited since they had been such strong supporters of it so ironically what we have in the west is a corrupt, subtly militarist zen brought across by these unemployed fascists looking for new digs in the usa
brad warner is a good example of zen gone wrong, a genuine awakening experience that completely screwed up his life by straddling him between the two horses of zen and relationship etc !
far better for him not to have had it and gudo nishijima (that ex officer of the japanese imperial army) was a nightmare of bad advice ! :o(
my retranslation of teishin's last/death poem
waves receding
waves advancing
so
my
life
blown
a cool autistic love/camaraderie if you ask me !
was it really you
i saw,
or is this joy
i still feel
only a dream?
~ teishin ~
in this dream world
we doze
and talk of dreams ‑
dream, dream on,
as much
as you wish
~ ryōkan ~
here with you
i could remain
for countless days and years,
silent as the bright moon
we gazed at together
~ teishin ~
have you forgotten me
or lost the path here?
now i wait for you
all day, every day
but you do not appear
“ ryōkan was a cool dude. he had a young babe nun, teishin. sweet! ”
she was a nurse to an old man who couldn't control his bowels !
“ I have problems with earwax DEEP down in my ear. I clean my ears very regularly, but I have a history of overproducing stuff like that
any ways to get that shit out of my deep ear so I can hear again? ”
I find “earclear” ( 65mg of carbamide peroxide per ml ) ok
, I lie down with my head suitably adjusted for about 1/4 of an hour so it warms up and goes all the way down the ear canal !
zen has been gutted by neo advaita/non duality, more teachers than grains of sand in the ganges in that area ! :o)(

gf for how long ! ? he's really autistic and relationship is against the grain :o(
I think it's the women who ditch him tho :o)
if you are open to some sense (reddit anti-sense ! :o) he wants to ditch the music, film and zen and get back into merchandising cult toys!
zen is a celibate tradition and mixed with relationship you have a good explanation for the half arsed idiocy and disaster zen is today, endless morons projecting the way they want the world to be ! :o(
there's really is only anti-money in zen, just costs heaps, I suppose if you want to go bankrupt it's productive for that and that's what I am thinking myself :o(
brad warner is only interested in zen for the potential income (talk about an illusion :o)
otherwise he would be quite happy with playing with monster culture and the untalented punk rock scene forever ! :o(

the book of serenity, case 83 “ daowu tends the sick ” (translated by thomas cleary?)
guishan asked daowu, “ where are you coming from? ”
daowu said “ i’ve come from tending the sick ”
guishan said “ how many people were sick? ”
daowu said “ there were the sick and not sick ”
guishan said, “ isn't the one not sick you, ascetic zhi? ”
daowu said, “ being sick and not being sick have nothing to do with him at all. speak quickly! speak quickly! ”
guishan said, “ even if i could say anything, it would have no relation ”
my reworking
guishan asked daowu, “ where have you been? ”
daowu replied, “ helping in the infirmary! ”
guishan asked, “ how many in there ? ”
“ they were sick and not sick ! ” daowu replied
“ isn’t the one not sick you ascetic zhi? ”, guishan asked
daowu said, “ he is both sick and not sick ! ”
guishan replied, “ who knows what being sick and not sick is? ”
my comment : it's actually a discussion about enlightenment !

“ the genome is a long string that's essentially stuffed inside the nucleus of every human cell
if it were stuffed there like a string inside a pocket, it would get hopelessly tangled, and processes like transcription and replication would be impossible
in a 2009 paper in science,
aiden and co-authors introduced a breakthrough technique for identifying the regions of the convoluted genome that are near one another in three-dimensional space, allowing researchers to infer the string's topography
the authors presented suggestive evidence that the genome formed a “ fractal globule ”, a mathematical shape that's extraordinarily dense yet never tangles
( “ fractal ” means it exhibits the same shape at every magnification ) ”
imo (my observation) human biochemistry is fractal
infinitely
regressible
complex
completely undefinable to anything
