Guest guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Whenever, in one way or another, someone is telling that " ego " must end or has to be killed, just give him a blow on his nose and you can see how his " ego " will react. That way any hypocrite's masquerade called " spiritiuality " instantly will drop off. This also is a very good medium to remind nihilists of their physical reality. It works !

It works ! > > Werner damn wernie.. you stole that from an old zen story. and that won't eork at all. let's see though what it was really about: One day, a student of Zen Master Seung Sahn went up to him and said, " I have attained emptiness! " So the Zen Master said, " Oh! You have attained emptiness! Then tell me, who attained emptiness? " The student said, " Me! I have attained emptiness! " So the Zen Master took his stick and hit him. The student said, " Ow! " And the Zen Master said, " If there is 'Ow!' then where is emptiness? " This emptiness cannot be expressed in words or languages. We give it a name, however; that name is primary point. This primary point has many names and forms. Some people call it enlightenment. Some people call it mind. Some people call it Buddha. Some people call it God. Some people call it Tao. Some people call it nirvana. Some people call it substance. The Sixth Patriarch said, " Originally nothing. " Zen Master Seung Sahn says, " Only don't know. " But the true primary point has no name and no form. When you attain this emptiness of pure substance, then your eyes will freely open. Then your ears will hear clearly, your nose will smell clearly, your tongue will taste clearly, and your body will feel clearly; and your mind will be very clear, until it reflects like a mirror. Green comes, we reflect green. This point cannot be expressed by languages. of course we don't expect that you'll " get it " . you never do. ..b b.b.

How about that smooth wordy awful zen lecture from Bob? I have never seen a podium so steep! Barfy Bob turned serious professor! Oh well, I appreciate the sentiment, anyway. Naturally, spirituality hypocrites inspire a whack on the nose. i just find the results so futile. Cheers, --C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When reading those responses I almost was shedding tears of happinmess. What a lovely sound egos make when released. Similar like birds when freed from their cages. Wonderful ! You must know I am an advocate of ego liberation. In my understanding egos in no way are hostile. They are one's best friend. Don't touch the ego, let it do its job as it has to.
