a fascinating
insight into
8th,
9th and
14th century ch’an monastic life
thieving monks, incompetent officals
hidebound in endless stupid ritual
no peace in retirement !
----------------------
i loved the monks running away with the furniture and the old monks having to come out of retirement to run things because their replacements were so bloody useless !
he also gives the size of these monasteries as several hundreds to a thousand which i think would have been ch’an monasticism at its peak !
large monasteries sure don’t sound environmentally friendly !
“ today, the monastic residents gathered together in a large temple have multiplied to as many as hundreds or a thousand in number
providing their provisions exhausts the temple’s granary,and burning wood for cooking has stripped the mountainside into a barren wasteland ”
“ I could buy it and read it, I heard its a classic but the title threw me off thus far ”
your problem is being stuck in “ low brow ”

“ The relatively narrow therapeutic range of selenium and its toxicity are partly related to the ability of some selenium compounds to generate reactive oxygen species
In the presence of reduced glutathione, selenite and methylselenol (a metabolite of selenomethionine and a likely intermediate in the selenium elimination pathway) continuously generate superoxide
(O2) in vitro
Under conditions of oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species may
increase insulin resistance and affect pancreatic
β-cell function
It is thus theoretically possible that high serum and body selenomethionine paradoxically result in oxidative stress and increased diabetes risk ”

“ each molecule of ketone bodies (ed. produced from fats when carbohydrates are restricted ) produces more energy than glucose, but less oxidative stress, so the brain and the muscles work more efficiently
this effect of ketone bodies as energetic boosters is very important in migraine patients, or migraineurs, because they have
an energetic deficit in the brain
ketone bodies also have an
anti-inflammatory effect. This is also important because ‘ sterile inflammation ’ — inflammation caused by damage rather than by microbes — is at the heart of migraines
the ketone bodies dampen the neural inflammation that’s both common in epilepsy and migraines and modulate the cortical excitability, the firing rate of neurons ”

zen is only nihilist if you exclude an understanding of what it is really about

you treat it like buying a madonald’s product, you paid for it in time and reading, you think you have the object, yet when

Regarding certain autistic spectrums :
I got a job as a summer camp counsellor and had to go to town for a week long conference.
We had to introduce ourselves in front of everyone. There was about
50 people, possibly more.
Anyway, this dude came up to me later and we hit it off right away. This never happens with people for me.
I guess he was sorta on the autistic spectrum, like me ?
Regarding those that injure those on the autistic spectrum :
I remember as a child that I was learning to skate and this dude made a beeline to me.
We had a solid collision but it wasn’t too bad.
Another time my brother and I were sitting around at a gym and the same guy was shooting plastic pucks near us. He kept getting closer to us until eventually he shot directly at us, nearly hitting my brother. We both left after that.
Also, it snowed here last Wednesday and it’s here to stay.

give up soccer, its too dangerous to you, don’t go to another practice !

a lot of people smoke pot to help with sleep, but there are much better ways to approach the problem
see pot is toxic to the brain and that’s the big problem with drug use, brain and other organ damage or cancer induction !
so the basic issue with drug use is damage and on the self medicating aspect there are better ways to deal with the problems and i don’t mean meds though that cannot be entirely ruled out !
drug experiences are almost meaningless in terms of what zen is about, they lack the necessary coherence
i know pot is toxic for sure because tiny tiny amounts have a protective hormetic effect against strokes, that is, pot in very small quantities is toxic enough to induce a stress response in the brain !

“ relative frameworks of thought formed by a continuity is all anyone can claim to experience ”

in other words, just a form of materialism, material reality is the ultimate which for example in ewk’s case seems to be some form of imagined psychiatric orthodoxy!
the problem with that is there’s too much ground to cover to understand what reality is ultimately about, one lifetime doesn’t scratch the surface
so this is where the “ real zen ” comes in
“ The fourth type is the pure meditation of the Tathāgata, the meditation of those who have reached the Tathāgata stage in which one attains the uncaused universal wisdom of the Dharma realm ”
without the uncaused universal wisdom its just hopeless
visionary experience and fugues with infinity are the strongest forms of that “ uncaused wisdom ”
it also occurs unconciously
i find even buddhists completely diss this real zen which is why to me they are also “ buji ”
dog_barking replies
This uncaused dharma you speak of is no different in life or death correct ?
my reply
the uncaused dharma is the actuality of the contact of infinity with ourselves
life or death has no context there . .
“ I don’t know what would be nonsense ”
well its zen to sort out what is and isn’t
i have no hope you will understand that
zen is beyond insanity and sanity, why not go there
, that is beyond . .
i asked ewk if he ever had an alcohol problem at one point or had done drugs ?
he deflected in his answer so i replied
i asked you a question that you haven’t replied to !
how can you understand zen if you box yourself away so you can’t be seen ?
what zen master did that ?
the whole art of zen is revealing yourself in a way that is useful, though the hurt that often follows is too much for the bullshitters, that’s what sorts the sheep from the goats
just can’t see yourself as impaired can you ?
ewk replies
we can’t have a conversation about anything as long as you make your mental health problem the start and end of every conversation

askreddit “ What is your CraigsList ‘ horror ’ story ? ”
When I was
21 I tried to kill myself by taking half a bottle of xanax and posting an ad to craigslist asking for someone to come get me. Someone did. He took me back to his place and as soon as he gave me a glass of wine I knew something bad was going to happen, but I’d asked for it. Well, I hadn’t asked for it, but I’d made a CraigsList posting saying I took a bunch of pills and need someone to get me. I was practically comatose and only vaguely remember, but he proceeded to date rape me and beat the shit out of me.
To be fair, I hated my life so much at that point I wasn’t even mad. And to his credit, had he not kept me up all night raping and beating the shit out of me I might have died. At the end of it he threw me unceremoniously in a shower and showed me all the bruises and welt he gave me before driving me home.
afterwards its a bit fuzzy, but he took me home and I never heard from him again. He had a giant, almost life size, bloody (paint) crucifix in his bedroom facing his bed. Added to the creep factor of the situation. I always remember that.
I never pressed charges. I’m not even mad about it. But, I became aware of how fucked up the people of craigslist can be that night. Had he not saved my life, it would’ve been a complete horror story.

from heaven fall icy petals
in the sky not a spot of blue remains
a dusting of jade covers the ground
and buries the blue mountains

the chill pierces my bones
silence prevails
my restatement
minature petals fall from a snow cloud sky
a soft white dusts the ground
gone are the mountains
a blurred sun rises
a whisper silence
what i admire about ewk is his lack of battle
fatigue !
:o)
its always going to be like this because buddhism is logocentrist and zen is aporetic and if you look at the zen records the masters are always fighting against buddhism although its a bit masked on account of them supposedly being in that religion !
it really opened my eyes to actually read some buddhist sutras and how they are just meaningless logocentrist hypnotic nonsense . .
they cannot be reconciled with zen, no wonder some zen masters openly voiced their loathing of them !
basically its a clash of buddhism versus zen and buddhists just appear unable to accept or even grasp that logocentrism is different from the aporetic !
i think the buddhists are winning here and as soon as ewk retires the mongol hordes will overwhelm the subreddit, there’s a lot more of them . .
you get this in real life too, aporetic zen versus logocentrism, an example is
toni packer’s split from the rochester center . .
so the friction in reddit zen is a tension that has always occurred and its there in the records and history

jason writes (3rd october 16)
i decided to go for a walk today when i felt slightly tired but also wanted to get some thinking done
i stepped onto the road and immediately felt like i had a lot to think about and i did
i was walking, not paying much mind to the changing leaves, even though in the woods the leaves seem to change not as quickly as the leaves on the driving roads
anyway i was lost in thought and i happened to pass a car that was parked along the side, i hope like always that i don’t see anyone else walking
somehow some person ends up behind me, i don’t know how far as i didn’t look, talking to her dog and almost instantly i cannot focus on my thinking anymore, i almost wish this person would run past me and i never hear of her again
well i continue my circular route not getting the thinking done that i wanted, at the end i realize i should’ve been resting as i donated blood earlier

i think what zizek is
saying is the dissociation in zen is inevitably turned toxic and dehumanizing in any sort of political or communal context, easy to see in the meiji zen involvement as an imperial propagandist, the sexual predator behavior of western zen masters and actually the chronic mind control one sees in zen and buddhist centers !
btw his outlandish movements are tourettes syndrome !
transcript
in ewk’s world doctors and psychiatrists have the final say on “ the meaning of life ”
recently he has been telling me to ask a psychiatrist to prescribe a pill, that is chemically wipe out attaching any significance to “ mystic visions ”
because he has no real life zen experience and can’t see the need he doesn’t know that the whole structure of zen is built around visionary experiences called ‘ dai kensho ”
!
his viewpoint is simple western materialism, there is nothing !

go shugen, winner of the ryushin versus shugen battle !
for those who don’t know, ryushin’s experiences with ayahuasca disillusioned him with zen despite him being a certified zen master and dharma heir of john loori and he walked away/was pushed out as abbot at the mt. tremper zen monastery at the late age of
60 !
obviously the current abbot, geoffrey shugen arnold has never taken ayahuasca

jason asks and quotes a reply from gesshin/claire greenwood
i thought you said gesshin banned you from her blog, maybe she just doesn’t publish your comments ?
Hi Jason,
Thank you for reading my blog. I actually haven’t banned Andrew. There’s no way to ban anyone on blogger
I’ve had the donation button for pretty much forever. As for getting page views . . . I’m not sure how I did that ! I write about what’s true for me and what I’ve learned
Thank you for reading,
Gesshin
well obviously from my write ups i have been reading her blog
in her reply to you, she has simply taken advantage of the ambiguity of the word “ banning ” to not mention she deletes my posts after reading them herself and sometimes taking the advice on board !
in other words she is a typical bitch !
i don’t actually blame her for removing my replies since with me commenting on her blog she would get no donations from the “ buddhists ” as well as being obviously outclassed by me
the present arrangement suits and actually since she is no longer dead broke in japan without the catastrophic stress and interesting cultural “ fish out of water ” aspect
, she has become a lot less interesting, though readers i am sure eagerly await her next disaster which in fact already seems to be happening !
to be fair this
post is sheer comic genius !
another good
post !
gesshin at her best !
“ Back out in the countryside, I walk down the hill to the last house
I’m surrounded on all sides by farms, flower gardens and green, rolling, mountains
I wish I knew the names of the flowers growing up between the rocks, and the fields of tall, yellow grass that look like wheat but aren’t wheat
It’s hot, the sky is bright blue and the sun is straight above me
I realize that if
no one comes to pick me up I’m completely lost, no cell phone, nothing, in the Japanese mountains
As I walk I can hear the sound of a nearby stream
Other than the sound of the mountain stream and my feet on the dirt road, it’s completely silent
I feel the same way I did four, five years ago : unhinged by the beauty of the countryside and the mountains
I remember years ago in the monastery, before I ordained, after everything was cleaned up from lunch I would go walking through town
The valley was so quiet it felt like it belonged to me
The roads were empty, and I would look around at the mountains encircling me, and watch the bamboo lining the hills bend in unison in the wind
I would walk pass irrigation ponds, rice paddies, yellow grass and shining, tile roofs
There were tiny flower gardens, gigantic, terrifying insects, and one, white heron who would always come to the irrigation pond and sit beside it
The green mountains seemed to melt into the valley and also hold everything in silence ”
that’s an exceptional bit of writing
, she goes from complete crap to writing the above, its a mystery !

“ Would you say that there is an original identity ?
One that can be known in the possibility of completely reversing this ‘ fugue state ’ ? ”
the approach to the fugue state is a loss of identity so you are really positing a contradiction in terms !
“ Well, in terms of psychology there is an assumption that reversing the fugue state one returns to their actual identity
The amnesia and loss of identity can sometimes allow the formation of a new identity
So you’re saying there’s a fundamental identity ? ”
its more like a traversal from the fugue state and if its truly that then the return point is different which is why it is so frightening to people
the fugue state needs to be
non-amnesiac so that it can be linked with your life as an identity
if it really happens you will become more aporic, not so much a new identity . .
in fact aporism is the best that can be hoped for
but the substrate of aporism is meaninglessness, people have extreme difficulty with this . . !
what has freaked me out in recent years as i understand more about this is the degree to which parallel or
look-alike constructs can be forged and people go through these fake processes and end up disaster areas and total arseholes . .
“ Sometimes, though, that’s why these provisional frameworks can help. Recreating
look-alike constructs, while adhering to principle, can diminish being an arsehole ”
where zen helped me was retreats and weekly sitting
since all the “ provisional frameworks ” were garbled i was able to ignore them and just work from my own reading and thinking
the
look-alike constructs unfortunately just seem to reflect the natural human hubricity, amplify it into a truly schizophrenic disaster which is what zen turns out to be !
“ Do you think there’s a possibility that somewhere along the way you drew a line between yourself and everyone else that doesn’t live up to your expectations of what you believe is “ best ” ? ”
the world marches to the drum of “ breeding ” and if you say there’s an eternal light that “ breeding ” is only a dim reflection of, it gets nasty !
there’s no such thing as best, there’s this light and fugue states of it . .
the fugue is the marvel of infinity . .

i feel you are coming more from a “ monolithic ” or asian view of buddhism, rather than the japanese who are extremely eclectic, buddhism is just one of a number of religious toys/anime super powers they “ play with ”
so with western zen which is predominantly japanese (or korean) there’s an ambiguity about the “ buddhist ” aspect, you know, its just something we do while the “ real work ” is done . .
that is, there is an denial of the validity of buddhism which you do not get in mainland asia
----------------------
the way i view buddhism is its really a “ wiki ” and the way it appears is due to the historical technologies and with gutenberg press publishing and now the internet the technologies have changed and i really hold to heidegger’s view of human history being shaped by technology !
“
Religion and
Cowardice go together ”
historically i think you can take “ murder ” as being the real life reddit downvote equivalent, in the end that’s the bottom line that keeps people kowtowing to whatever !

it doesn’t take courage for a group of people to kill a dissenter !
history is full of it !
ewk got heavily downvoted for his
comment on the heart sutra, what i find amusing is that not one of the downvoters will have ever in fact attended a service and chanted it, they are all pursuing some imaginary idea . .
reddit zen is an imaginary zen . .
disrupt it with any sort of reality and you get downvoted . .
“ all phenomena bear the mark of emptiness ”
ed. quote is
from
my
r e p l y
phenomena is an illusion, how much more so “ the mark of emptiness ”
when i was in zen and we used to chant the heart sutra, i thought, what a load of shit, but now i can see its part of the hypnotic process of liturgy, i don’t know why i escaped and the others didn’t ! ?
----------------------
yeah escaped the crap and moved into the real
!
well i guess i was always into the real
!
my childhood dai kensho meant i was always into “ the real ”
, ‘ ultimate reality ’ is another way of putting it
this experience is so what differentiates zen from other religions, until it occurs you will never believe or see or understand what is beyond

success in life comes from being paid for something you have a strong natural talent for, one needs to work out what those talents are in fact because some of us, finding everything difficult, expect that as the norm and only are attracted to what we find difficult which is the wrong way to go !

buddhism has these vast bodies of writing they call sutras. like i was looking at the “ flower ornament sutra ” and its just endless unmitigated bullshit, so its been around in various forms probably for thousands of years, the question is why since its just junk, there must have been an interested group of people pushing it for their benefit!
so reading a bit of that
sutra it becomes apparent that it is a sophisticated, hypnotic device for encouraging donations !
‘ faith ’ is actually a hypnotic device for proxying any real doing into financial support for others who will ‘ do ’ for you !
it both sets up monks etc as people doing something worthy and says that such people should be supported financially !
this fits with buddhism’s early origins as a
merchant bank !

when prisoners escaped from
a gulag they would take a “ korova ” with them
this was a prisoner that the other escapees tricked into coming with them to serve as nourishment when the time came during the long escape
korova means cow and they would consume his liver and blood, the only parts you can eat raw without getting sick
so my great uncle was an imprisoned carpenter in one of these gulags
the story goes that he was told by the intending escapees to put a secret compartment in the wagon/trailer he was building for them so that they could smuggle him out
he knew he would be going to get eaten so he said heʼd build the compartment but he was not going with them
he tried to track down his friend who went with them but that was the last record of him
the friend knew they intended to eat him but he said heʼd take his chances and hope he could work out a deal or kill them first

my Grandmom once helped a women who was a “ Displaced Person ” from Poland who resettled in the US (Polish Philadelphia)
One day the woman fell down and clearly needed help getting to a hospital (appendicitis)
She refused to pay for a cab and only did so once my Grandmom gave her money and forced her into the cab
Turns out the women had been sent to a resettlement/Gulag area in Siberia during the war
When my grandmom questioned her later about why she didnʼt want to pay for a cab to the hospital when she had money the woman said it was a waste of money
When she had been in Siberia there was no food so when the children died they ate them
You donʼt waste money on a cab after you've been through that

“ I was
pick-pocketed a few months ago in Dublin, was absolutely kicking myself over it as Iʼd just gotten back from a week of being hyper vigilant in Barcelona only to have my phone stolen in my own city
This
gypsy woman came up to me and a group of friends and started trying to get the lads to buy a rose and was being really pushy about it, saying “ oh you sexy, so sexy you want to buy a rose hmm ? ” so I told her to go away and she immediately got right up in my face really threateningly and started stroking my hair/face and yelling at me to buy a rose
Pushed her off me and she stormed off swearing to herself. Half an hour later went to check my phone and realised my bag was open and it was gone
At first I wasnʼt
100% sure whether sheʼd taken it or Iʼd just lost it but then I signed into my Google account the next day and could see it had last been used hours after that

has reddit zen become increasingly attractive to the more “ clinically disabled ” schizophrenics ?
its now a playground for schizophrenia ! ?
how it ended, not with bang but by mentally ill babble ?
i did notice with my previous ownership of message boards that it was necessary to ban schizophrenics, however the ability to call that with finesse is a skill that will be beyond the r/zen moderators so i guess it will lurch on in that way forever !

2000mg of some form of lithium for her bipolar disorder
i think she took it on a need basis, and maybe it was
2000mg at the time because she was very sick ? according to her psychiatrist
my
r e p l y
2 grams a day of lithium ? i donʼt know how people do it ?
her liver will be fucked !
you wouldnʼt last a week on
2000mg

with my usual clumbsiness i dropped a punnet of blueberries on the floor at the checkout and it burst open spilling blueberries under the shopping cart !
it was before rush hour and quiet enough that there was only one woman behind me in the queue, she appeared to be an expert on this subject and told/advised me not to move the cart as this would result in squashed blueberries, the avoidance of this horror the checkout clerk also chimed in about and the woman behind me and myself both scrabbled about on the floor picking them up !
even further she answered my query as to whether the blueberries came from tasmania or the mainland and she said the mainland, they were having a very good season this year, whereas the blueberries grown just further up the coast had some sort of “ rust ” problem !
the clerk offered to replace the punnet but i declined . .
interestingly i remembered her as a young girl maybe
15 years ago in the same job and now she was
30 or so, the usual suburban life, quite a change !

reddit zen is a junkyard of developmental and drug damaged wreckage !
“ recreational drugs ” of necessity directly affect the brain
most medical drugs are not designed to do that, though of course they may
but the heft of “ recreational ” is damage on that very plastic organ !
you can tell the casualties, they canʼt think straight or write coherently
i donʼt say “ recreational ” is evil, my only objection
is
drug use leads to a faux zen road, screwing oneʼs brain up and to get a glimmer of having done that to oneself must be upsetting !
----------------------
lol, yeah meth or something for the brain with holes in !
i have about
50ml of red wine a day in the cooking to help with my digestion, thatʼs sort of a self medication . .
so maybe thereʼs windows of utility
people use pot to help with
sleep but even small amounts of it are toxic to the brain
however from a zen point of view, the altered states of recreational drugs are simply the wrong road
which leaves the question of the brain being permanently damaged .
i have never seen anyone who has taken drugs to any significant extent have the sort of understanding the real zen requires !
for them zen is just some nice wallpaper for the smoking room !
anything that affects the brain must have flow on effects on plasticity
this in itself is problematic
look at all the idiots ayahuasca is churning out and all the lsd wrecked pop stars back in the day !
i know of no drug that accesses the brain in the right way !
these people just litter the world as
semi-schizophrenic wrecks, here on reddit zen as well !
then toft began thinking of himself, his dream about meeting the family again had become so enormous that it made him feel tired, the whole of moomin valley had somehow become unreal, the house, the garden and the river were nothing but a play of shadows on the screen and toft no longer knew what was real and what was only in his imagination

dai kensho is actually a vast topic because there are several instances at least of it happening to me personally and also questions of seen and unseen kenshos and dai kenshos and questions of reference frames
dai kensho itself is beyond the ability of human to handle, it is literal death
and actually you have to ask what dai kensho is and what makes it different from ordinary “ insight ”
basically with me it was a vision involving the
6th patriarch, what was different is you are cojoined with infinity in the vision and it is more real than what we call reality !
that perspective cannot come any other way and as i have said before, you donʼt want it, it is too upsetting of a life, the floor gets pulled out from under you and you limp on irreparably damaged in conventional terms for the rest of your life !
the really surprising thing that took me a long while to get, is most zen masters and this includes huang po and daihui zonggao, are not enlightened
that is, they lack this experience because they clearly donʼt have the perspective it gives
so its not something thatʼs taught at all, one knows something for
one-self despite the rest of the world naysaying you
dai kensho has happened several times to me, the first as a child but it needed to happen again as an adult so that i could work it through, which is a process of the rest of oneʼs life
the visions are like going somewhere, i donʼt really know what it is but as you leave there are some words you understand, but its not within the vision where in a way there is both memory and no memory, things have happened you do not remember
“ How would you describe this infinity, if possible ? ”
thatʼs a good question, what happens is you start to recognise fugue states of infinity in life, you say to yourself, thatʼs infinity and you should give it attention . .
“ What was the experience you had as a child ? ”

“ So what would be a way out of disbelieving your own dai Kensho ?
Are you saying

you took the wrong road and entered the wrong building !
it maybe had a few features that were in imitation of the authentic building it was a poor ramshackle copy of
this might be titled “ buddha spoils a good trip ”
i was thinking in fact though you claim to have had dai kensho, in fact you (serenemountain) disbelieve it
you have settled for something different
, that is what i am saying !
its literally like some bad drug trip and its actually opened up my eyes as to how much of buddhism is like or actually is a bad
LSD trip !
its just like you are in a continual bad lsd trip, you might have picked something more
benign like a heaven with apsarases, way more fun, but no you just have to keep flicking through a rubbish bin
the interesting thing is the way zen has a multitude of meanings because it is in the public domain, people really have strongly different ideas about what it means !
people have no idea of what dai kensho is or ever will i guess !
people have no idea of what dai kensho is or ever will i guess

i think its quite obvious whether a person deviates from “ their average ” on an individual basis !
i think what i notice is the way people donʼt deviate from their “ average ”
dai kensho is a drastic shift from your “ average ”
i was thinking about brad warnerʼs “ nostalgia ” but in fact thereʼs more to it, some sort of dai kensho experience moved him away from the real life content of the nostalgia, its some sort of death and that was his previous life and life after that is different . .
there are two sorts of zen
patriarch or dai kensho zen which holds that such a thing occurring is fundamental to understanding and without it, you are just wasting your time, also that it can occur without any reason or cause . . so obviously it is not tied into any system or approach
and buji/system zen which is a wide umbrella covering straight negation techniques to scriptural christianity zen (ewk) to elaborate buddhist zen
this buji zen is based on a disbelief in dai kensho and failing to have that energy they just proxy into whatever suits their mindset so in my view the rather bare scriptural christianity approach is not much different from full fledged buddhism, both proxy systems in denial of dai kensho
so reddit zen is basically buji in its many forms
its a denial of dai kensho
