[Zen] Re: Black Zen Masters?

2008-10-28 Thread Mayka
Good morning Karen;

You seem to have a very strong aversion towards men.  Why is that?.  
What is it that happened to you to hate them so much?. And don't tell 
me that this is because you're a lesbian because that would be a 
rather pathetic excuse. 

There is a good caring side to you.  Like someone who is protective 
and with heart. Those are amongst the qualities of a Bodhisatva. 
Developing them in awarenes will make you wiser and stronger.  
However, Developing the qualities of a boddhisatva is not posible 
when ve have  our hearts are full of discrimination, aversion, 
hatred...Like a dusty untidy house we need to clean and put order in 
that house.  The house of the mind.  It is said that when the mind is 
free of dust it shines like a mirror all what is real in it.

Aversion, hatred, anger, discrimination...all those are causes of so 
much suffering in us human beings.  If we know that already, wouldn't 
be more clever to work towards the transformation of those negative 
emotions rather than let them to control our mind, actions and life?.

But, thank you anyway for your good intentions and care.
A white lotus flower to you
Mayka

 That is because you are in love with a man. When he breaks your 
heart, 
 turn to another woman for comfort and your mind and heart will be 
 clear!

Edgar Owen  I spoke to Buddha this morning and he recommends English 
on an English group. He also said he never learned Japanese since he 
lived in India all his life.
 

He probably hated the Japaneses. Those Hindus are hard-core racists. 
Look at Mahatmo Ghandi. He was the best of India in 2500 years and by 
most accounts he was a dirty old man and he never washed either. The 
only good thing about India is the beautiful women with their musky 
warm areas and hairy legs.

A short time ago, the forum considered dropping members that did not post 
messages, thankfully that moment passed. Now, we have this entity that clearly 
is delusional and IT is allowed to drag the dialog into the abyss. 
Firstly, as a Black Buddhist, the idea that anyone of us would respond to this 
obviously ill person is a terrible reflection upon us, even me I suppose. 
Additionally, it is obvious that the poster is posing in every way imaginable., 
Race, Zen, Human, whatever is missing is clear with an open mind. 
I apologize for contributing to this dialog, but I wanted to insure that I did 
not get deleted from the Group, while this Dark One prospers in his delusion.

Endymion So you mean to say there's documented evidence of Zen 
masters REFUSING to allow blacks and hispanics to sit zazen and they 
also refuse them entrance to the dokusan rooms to ask questions?
 

No, it is just a coincidence that blacks and Hispanics are not Zen 
Masters. I would think there must be one somewhere. I know that there 
are a few dykes who are Zen Masters. I wonder if they still use their 
dildoes after enlightenment?

RE: [Zen] Re: Black Zen Masters?

2008-10-23 Thread BillSmart
Just for clarification...

I did say 'There are no Black zen masters'; but what I didn't say was that
there are no White, Latino, Arab, Asia, male/female, left/right-handed,
democrat/republican, etc., zen masters.  If you believe that there are
adepts that could/should be called zen masters, then they would be well
beyond such vulgar qualifiers; and if you're focusing on the qualifier
you're missing the whole point.

Mike Brown is discriminating against you in much the same way that the

promoting them to the levels of Zen Masters. 

This Man-Against- Man hate is what drives most successful drama in the

Thus, Dol-E-Mite and black exploitation film genre was born. Perhaps 
what we need is a minority oriented Zen lineage.

I have come to realice that I don't receive posting from two new 
members: Jason and Bob.

Mike and myself are in the UK.  I wonder if there are more people on 
this group posting from the UK.  I post throgh the web and receive 
email in my personal email.

How funny this koan of yours.  I laugh a lot while reading your 
explanations.  You have to admit that you've just created a very good 
koan with the noodles as internal knots and boiled water as the mind 
in turmoil!!.  Our Mr. Macarroni must be pretty confuse by 
now...Hehehe!!!

Enjoy!

 I was actually just making a little joke by adpating a well known 
 koan to specifically address Mac A. Roni.  The original koan 
 is: 'What your original face before your mother was born?' or 'Show 
 me your face before your mother was born.'  Since Mac A. Roni 
 (macaroni) is just a fake name from own of our usual contributors, 
I 
 chose to adapt it to a noodle theme.
 
 Lo siento, yo no puedo reciber su 'postings' en mi email.  Porque?  
 Yo no se.
 
 I also am not getting posts from Mike Brown.  Several months ago I 
 used to get them from both of you.
 
 I have checked all the SPAM and other filters I have.  Everyone 
 else's postings come through okay.
 
 By the way, do you post your postings via email or via the website?

  Hi Bill;
  
  This say sounds a contradition.  How can one show oneself noodle 
  before the water was brought to the boil?. I'm comparing the 
noodle 
  with the internal knots and the boiling water as a non tranquil 
 mind. 
  When the water is brought to the boil, the noodle shakes and 
can't 
  coordinate with reason. Imposible to see and therefore show the 
  noodle!!!.  The noodle will need to be taken away from the 
boiling 
  water, won't it?
  
  As soon as I see your post I open it with curiosity.  It's really 
  great having someone like you in this group.
  
  Hope you can receive all emails now.  Hope the problem of the 
post 
  has been sort it out. I haven't had any problems with this 
website 
  yet.  I did in the past experiencing alike problems as yourself.  
 But 
  now post goes into the group in seconds. 
  
   Have you checked the spam and trash post?.  Check also the 
 antivirus 
  and Firewall, antispy...
  
   May I call the attention of the Administrator of this website 
and 
  check what is going wrong with the post to some members?
  
  A Scottish automn leaf to you

Blue,

Thank you for posting. Your words reflect clearly the state of your 
being. You are obviously a serious practitioner. Not all of us here 
are, that is not a requirement. I agree, I am too-often prone to 
reply to idiocy, reflecting my own while doing so. But I sometimes 
just can't help myself, I (probably mistakenly) believe that 
somewhere in my retort, the offending idiot will see his or her own 
ignorance. I do think that your post below will work much better 
though. 

As much as I like rolling around in the mud, spouting my own 
stupidity. I do find the substantive postings much more enjoying.

Thank You,

Chris

I have not been following this thread very closely. Did anyone post 
the list of black Zen Masters? Are there any Hispanic Zen Masters??

Jackson,

Obama is half white and half black, so he can't be ALL bad. I guess 
he'll do fine as President of the United States. Just as long as he 
doesn't try to become a Zen Master, those damn roshis. I mean Indian, 
Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, just to name a few, and they won't let 
one brother in?  Those nationalities know nothing of discrimination and 
oppression.  

Your Ignorance is my Bliss!

Bill, 

Oh, that. Well if only we all could strip these veils of illusion and 
alienating prejudices. If only there were some method of experiencing 
the here and the now, without societal influences. If only we didn't 
worry about what color someone is or hate a person's gender or 
ethnicity, maybe we could realize our buddha nature. No matter who we 
are, or where we come from. 

Peace be with You!

Chris
