With all due respect, you know not what you are talking about
and yet felt that you have more glimpses or already have arrived at
the promise land to pass such a judgement.
I had endeavoured to explain what I had said and to point out
what is not "very correct" with what you had said. You sued zen
approach and I replied in kind. How is that reactive ? I did not
REACT to your taunt or your insults but instead endeavoured very
patiently to explain my position and I had asked you to do the same.
You should take a long hard look in the mirror and see if what you
have just said is more applicable to you.
How have I not been able to hear and to "stop speaking to
myself" ? That is a rather strange accusation. Look at how I posted.
I endeavoured with great patience to explain my position and to point
out why what you had said was less than correct. And what did you do
in return ? Have a nice look at the mirror Keynes.

Jeez....I am at a lost at how you arrive at this understanding or
misunderstanding.
If I call you a fuckwit you will say I am troubled. If I reply
patiently and gently and would not respond to your childish sarcasm I
am also troubled. So what gives ?
| Quote: |
When bodhidarma said "I don't know",
you claimed "Not Important". Are you the
Buddha? Not even the Buddha is the Buddha!
That was a big personal mistake.
|
And you know why bodhidharma said 'I don't know" ? And you know
why I said Not Important ?
You wanted to use zen approach and yet do not appreciate the essence
of the play of words in zen. And you pass judgement from your total
lack of discernment. Why are you so complacent with your own state ?
Take a good look at the mirror.
| Quote: | There's a ways to go yet. Do you watch the breath?
One has to know mind and body before he can

Actually who died and made you buddha )))) ? |
Knowing your mind is to be fooled by it. Knowing your body is to
be led by it. To drop it is to take it up.
Try figuring that out...oh Buddha .

Natural mind do not distinguish between holy, divine or profane.
Try figuring that out...oh Buddha .
******************
The fact that I don't respond to you has nothing to do with how
"bad" I feel. You have been fucked and you still don't know it.
My time is very limited especially these past few months. I
choose my "fight" and I only engage fully if ti is useful. With you,
it had been very disappointing. As I had said you just want to teach
and talk down to whoever you are engaged with.
Is there some value in what I have just said above ? I hope so
, not to you perhaps but to others. |

Some of what you said was alright, but some of it wasn't.
I poked you with a stick to see which way you'd jump.
Although my opinion is of no value to you, I'll give it
anyway.
One of the local scribe also use this dirty trick whenever he found
himself in an intractable position.
If you had been here long enough you will learn a few dirty tricks as
well .
You have had a glimpse but have not reached the
promised land. You don't yet have present awareness
of yourself, so you are reactive and unreceptive.
Mindfulness is lacking as shown by your self-defensive
posture and inability to hear because you can't stop speaking
to yourself.
With all due respect, you know not what you are talking about
and yet felt that you have more glimpses or already have arrived at
the promise land to pass such a judgement.
I had endeavoured to explain what I had said and to point out
what is not "very correct" with what you had said. You sued zen
approach and I replied in kind. How is that reactive ? I did not
REACT to your taunt or your insults but instead endeavoured very
patiently to explain my position and I had asked you to do the same.
You should take a long hard look in the mirror and see if what you
have just said is more applicable to you.
How have I not been able to hear and to "stop speaking to
myself" ? That is a rather strange accusation. Look at how I posted.
I endeavoured with great patience to explain my position and to point
out why what you had said was less than correct. And what did you do
in return ? Have a nice look at the mirror Keynes.
You are trying to share your joy, but in misleading terms.
And you would know ? So what you are looking for is terms use by
buddhists ? Wouldn't that be a sign of being bound by name and
form ?
If you truly believe what you say in the way you say it,
you are at an impasse, a blocked state, and will go no
farther. Self-satisfaction has set in prematurely.
But it isn't the real thing as shown by how our
conversation has been a trouble for you.
Jeez....I am at a lost at how you arrive at this understanding or
misunderstanding.
If I call you a fuckwit you will say I am troubled. If I reply
patiently and gently and would not respond to your childish sarcasm I
am also troubled. So what gives ?
When bodhidarma said "I don't know",
you claimed "Not Important". Are you the
Buddha? Not even the Buddha is the Buddha!
That was a big personal mistake.
And you know why bodhidharma said 'I don't know" ? And you know
why I said Not Important ?
You wanted to use zen approach and yet do not appreciate the essence
of the play of words in zen. And you pass judgement from your total
lack of discernment. Why are you so complacent with your own state ?
Take a good look at the mirror.
There's a ways to go yet. Do you watch the breath?
One has to know mind and body before he can
drop them.
Actually who died and made you buddha )))) ?
Knowing your mind is to be fooled by it. Knowing your body is to
be led by it. To drop it is to take it up.
Try figuring that out...oh Buddha .
See through time and space with natural mind,
and don't speak of divine or profane, and the
long and short of time.
Natural mind do not distinguish between holy, divine or profane.
Try figuring that out...oh Buddha .
******************
The fact that I don't respond to you has nothing to do with how
"bad" I feel. You have been fucked and you still don't know it.
My time is very limited especially these past few months. I
choose my "fight" and I only engage fully if ti is useful. With you,
it had been very disappointing. As I had said you just want to teach
and talk down to whoever you are engaged with.
Is there some value in what I have just said above ? I hope so
, not to you perhaps but to others.- Hide quoted text -
