Becoming a Bodhisattva

This is a short story about Buddha.

One day some people had killed a woman and buried her body in the grounds of the

Buddha monastery and then told the police. The police came and discovered the body

and began to spread the word that the Buddha and the monks had killed the woman

and then buried her. In the morning when the monks went into town, they were looked

at by the townspeople with contempt and anger. The monks came to the Buddha and

said, “Dear teacher, we can’t do it anymore”. Everytime we go into the town the people

look at us with those eyes. We suffer very much. The Buddha said “The essential thing

is that you have not done what people condemn you for doing. You know very well that

you did not kill that woman. So this is our practice. One day, by the way you live your

life, by the way you practice, misunderstanding will vanish. Things like this do happen in

the world and if you have understanding and compassion you don’t have to suffer.

There are groups of people who are jealous and try to create circumstances that will

smear our prestige. Such people must suffer a lot from their jealousy in order to do such

a thing. So we have to deal with them with compassion. With your practice, some day

you may be able to wake them up and see what they have done is not worthy of people

on a spiritual path.” And with that, the monks did not suffer anymore.

A few weeks later, a student of the Buddha hired detectives and they found the people

who had committed the crime. The community of the Buddha had to suffer for almost a

month because of this incident. So if you suffer a little bit or you suffer a lot or you do

not suffer at all, that depends on you. On whether you have insight, whether you have

compassion or not. It depends entirely on you. So if you need to suffer, embrace your

suffering tenderly. This will allow you to bring about compassion and understanding and

you will not hate the people who try to make you suffer.

Reflections:

There is a special phrase “Demons Hand and Buddha's Heart” that helps us understand

how we might deal with conflicts.

Develop the Demon's Hand while at the same time maintaining the Buddha's Heart.

Be a Monster but be under control.

In Chinese we have a loose translation -

菩萨心肠 (Púsà xīncháng)

Bodhisattva Heart

I am not saying we want to become a devil or monster. I am saying that sometimes we

need to be one. I would compare this idea to an injured animal surrounded by other

animals who are attacking it. It will tap into its inner strength and bite, claw, tear at these

attackers with the most vicious and uncontrollable anger and rage, only to protect itself.

The idea of Demons Hand and Buddha’s Heart is expressed in the Chinese cultures

special martial arts technique called Drunken Fist 醉拳 (Zuì quán). In this fighting

technique, the master does not care if the solution looks ugly or bad or evil or demonic.

The master has let go of his own vanity. So this has the enemy attacking him as they

perceive him as a weak opponent and this very perception is why the master will win.

He has let go of his vanity and said in this fight “I am an upset person, I am tired and

have an injured body, my enemies will all be defeated, I will not put up with attacks from

people who are intentionally harming me.” So, we actually want our opponent to look at

us and think “No, that attack won’t work on me.”

There is a very good reason to defend ourselves like this when we are being caught up

in situations where others are falsely judging us and trying to cause us to suffer. Their

suffering is merely spilling over onto us and we should deal with it in a compassionate

but firm way. The greater evil that happens is our own vanity increases when we fail to

say no or fail to stand up for ourselves. We are often afraid we will not be looked upon

well by others or not impress others if we are seen as fighting back when sick or upset

people are harming us. I suspect in these cases, by not defending ourselves, we would

be cheating others and ourselves out of real self-fulfillment. I noticed lately that I do this

a lot with others by giving too much, giving large tips and paying for things and even

giving others things so I can feel good about myself and get validation from others so I

can be viewed as a good person. But I do this to avoid confronting my own emptiness

inside and fail to admit that I am just as broken and damaged as everyone else and that

is ok because this is part of being a flawed human being.

--------------------------------

What is the Buddhist perspective on vanity?

- Master Sheng-Yen

“Vanity is certainly related to feelings of inferiority. Someone who doesn’t have a sense

of self-fulfillment may want to show other people they possess something remarkable.

Even when their wisdom, their learning, and skills are nothing particular, they still want

to show people that they are a person of status and are thus worthy of people’s

admiration. They want whatever material things other people own, though these might

be well-earned or required by some. To attend meetings and receive important guests,

they need to dress up in smart clothes. In order to fit in with their job environment, they

need these fineries. But some people don’t, they don’t really have a need for such

things. But they feel that since celebrities and the famous wear such fancy clothing, they

want to dress the same way too. They get a sense of importance from others. However,

this kind of satisfaction won’t do anything for their income or the development of

character and wisdom. It’s just about putting on a show to impress others.

It sometimes will bring them a lot of trouble.

Why?

Because they have to keep up appearances by accumulating things they don’t need at

all. They will go out to eat and order many dishes and offer to pay for everyone although

he doesn’t have much money. Though he cannot really afford it, he’ll still go beyond his

means to impress others.

This is related to his feelings of inferiority. So it evolves into an intense desire to gain

face. This will create a lot of pain and suffering.

Is there anything good about vanity?

Acting within the scope of your abilities isn’t vanity. But one who doesn’t know his own

limits and wants to do what he sees others do puts himself in a tight spot that he can’t

get out of. Like a rat caught in a trap. Then it’s extremely painful. What’s more, vain

people, because they lack the things they desire, may hurt many other people.

For instance, if they haven’t any money but simply want to put up a front and gain face

by pretending to be rich, they borrow money from their friends. They cheat their friends

out of cash and embezzle money. All to put on a show of affluence. So as a result, they

harm themselves and others. So we have to be careful when we’re with vain people.

Suppose they obtain something through their own efforts, rather than by borrowing it.

Say, for example, they saw a pair of shoes, and they think of a way to earn money. Then

they buy a nice pair of shoes. That can’t be considered a bad thing. But earning money

just to buy shoes to satisfy vanity is wrong.

What about craving fame or wanting approval from others?

That would be fishing for fame and reputation. But it’s hard to say whether this attitude

is vanity. Sometimes, people who pursue fame may have substance. But they may just

want something in return. Say when they make a donation, they want to place an ad

making their good deeds known widely...this is vanity.

However, it’s a bit better than most false vanity, because they really do have this ability.

It’s not totally fake. There was a total fake in a movie I once saw in China, that guy wore

a jacket, a suit, but underneath his jacket there was nothing. The shirt was just a collar,

along with a necktie. There really was no shirt. He was a fake, people like that we call

vain. In fact, on the inside, he had nothing.”

Alan Watts - Thusness

https://alanwatts.org/transcripts/thusness/

Now, I can exemplify this a little more strongly by relating Buddhism to the social system

in which it arose. A Buddhist monk is sometimes called a śramaṇa. This is closely allied

to the word “shaman.” And a shaman is the holy man in a culture that is still hunting. It

isn’t settled, it isn’t agrarian. There is a very strong and important difference between a

shaman and a priest. A priest receives his ordination from his superiors; he receives

something from a tradition which is handed down. A shaman doesn’t. He receives his

enlightenment by going off into the forest by himself to be completely alone. A shaman

is a man, in other words, who has undergone solitariness. He’s gone away into the

forest to find out who he really is. Because it’s very difficult to find that out while you’re

with other people. And the reason is that other people are busy all the time telling you

who you are in many, many ways: by the laws they impose on you, by the behavior ruts

they set on you, by the things they tell you, by the fact that they always call you by your

name, and by the fact that when you live among people, you have to be in a state of

ceaseless chatter.

But if you want to find out who you are before your father and mother conceived

you—who you really are—you almost have to go off by yourself, and go into the forest

and stop talking, even stop thinking words, and be absolutely alone and listen to the

great silences. And then, if you’re lucky, you recover from the illusion that you’re just

little me, this so and so, and you attain the state of nirvāṇa, which means the blown-out

state, the relieved state; the sigh of relief. Nirvāṇa may be translated into English as

“phew!” I’ve at last discovered that I don’t have to survive. I can survive, of course, but I

don’t really have to. Because you discover, you see, that what you really are doesn’t

have to survive, because it’s what there is. The real you is It, or that. Tát tvam ási: “that

art thou,” as the Hindu say.

So then, in the normal life of India—which is not a hunting culture, but a settled

culture—there are priests, but there is something beyond the priest. That is to say, when

a man or woman has fulfilled his or her life in the world of society, it’s the normal thing to

do for a person to quit their status in society and become what’s called a

“forest-dweller.” That is almost, you see, to go back to the hunting culture. They divide

people into two classes: gṛhastha, which means “householder,” and vānaprastha, which

means “forest-dweller.” And the older people all hand over their occupations and

positions to their children, and go into the state of vānaprastha or become a śramaṇa,

and go outside the stockade—I’m speaking metaphorically; they sometimes do actually,

they sometimes don’t—and become a nobody. They give up their name—that is to say,

the label which designates who they are in terms of caste or class. They become

unclassified people. That’s why, strictly speaking, you see, Hinduism and Buddhism are

not religions. You can classify the religions. You can say: what’s your denomination?

Baptist? Methodist? Catholic? Presbyterian? Episcopalian? Quaker? Et cetera, et

cetera, et cetera, you see? But strictly speaking, a vānaprastha, a śramaṇa, has no

label. He is an unlabeled bottle.

The Gospel of Jesus in a Nutshell

- Rodney Norman

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MF49Xmfr5c0

Some folks were meeting with Jesus

The group said

“What’s the most important thing we should know about this life?”

Jesus says

“Ahh, hey, you know that God person I talk about all the time. The love that you have for

God, you should have that same love for everybody else”

The group said

“That’s it?”

Jesus says

“Yeah, that is pretty much the point of the whole thing. Just love everybody.”

The group says

“Are you sure about that? Well, what about those stupid, rotten, horrible, miserable

people who don’t deserve love?

Jesus says

“Well, yeah. Them, too.”

The group says

“So you mean even those stupid people who live over there, over the hill? Do we have

to be nice and love them?”

Jesus says

“Well, actually, yeah. That is what I meant by everybody.”

“You are given free will to do nice things to people then you will deserve more free will.

But don’t focus on getting the stuff, just focus on being a nice person and then you will

get all that stuff. If you are just doing nice stuff to get stuff then you’re really not a nice

person, you are just pretending to be a nice person so you get nice stuff. God will know

when you are trying to fool us.”

“Pretty much that’s it. Just love everybody and let God work out all the details and stuff.

God is really good at punishing people. He doesn’t want to punish people but it is for

their own good.”

Always be the Mermaid

Weeping near the water

Watching the world go by

Limping with weakness

But still able to replace the roof.

The seagulls will eat the shrimp

But only if you toss it to them.

Always be the Mermaid,

simply watch while weeping and laughing.

The tears of the mermaid are pearls.

Happiness hides inside sadness.

Bushy the 松鼠 (Squirrel)

In a world where humans were consumed by the trappings of technology and

materialism, a 松鼠 emerged as an unlikely beacon of wisdom. This 松鼠, however, was

no ordinary creature – it was an enlightened Taoist sage, whose profound

understanding of the natural world and the Way of the Universe was unparalleled.

Perched atop a mighty oak tree, the 松鼠 observed the frenzied lives of the humans

below, scurrying about like ants, oblivious to the beauty and harmony that surrounded

them. It was then that the 松鼠 realized its calling: to awaken these lost souls to the

importance of studying and embracing nature.

But how could a mere 松鼠 communicate such profound truths to a species so

consumed by their own devices? The answer came in an unexpected form – a social

media app called TikTok.

With a deft paw and a keen eye, the 松鼠 began to create captivating videos, each one

a masterclass in Taoist philosophy and a cautionary tale of humanity's disregard for the

natural world. In one video, a once-pristine forest lay decimated, its ancient trees felled

to make way for towering skyscrapers. In another, a polluted river choked with plastic

and debris, its once-vibrant life force now but a whisper.

Through these dystopian visions, the 松鼠 sought to jolt its human viewers into

awareness, reminding them of the delicate balance that exists between all living things

and the consequences of our actions. And yet, amidst the bleakness, the 松鼠 also

offered glimpses of hope – images of untouched wilderness, where nature reigned

supreme, a testament to the resilience of the Earth and the cyclical nature of life.

Slowly but surely, the 松鼠 videos began to captivate audiences, its message resonating

with those who had long since felt disconnected from the natural world. Some were

moved to tears, others inspired to take action, planting trees, and advocating for

environmental causes.

And as the 松鼠 following grew, so too did its influence, its teachings spreading like

wildfire across the digital realm. For in its own unique way, this enlightened Taoist sage

had managed to bridge the gap between the human and the natural, reminding us all

that we are but a part of a greater whole, and that to truly understand ourselves, we

must first study and embrace the world around us.

Tang Dynasty Family Travels

Through swirling mists of time he flew,

To ancient days when China's Tang Dynasty held reign.

Forbidden City loomed, great palace halls in view,

As he searched for she, his sister he'd not seen again.

In simpler dress she walked the garden's pebbled path,

Her face upturned, gazing at the painter's eaves.

He called her name, she turned in aftermath,

Their tear-filled reunion under mulberry leaves.

Though years apart, their bond was still the same,

Brother and sister reunited despite the ages.

No distance great nor time's erasing rain

Could end the love found in history's pages.

Author: Claude AI

Tang Dynasty Love Travels

Across the swirling sands of time he flew,

To ancient days of China's glorious Tang.

In Chang'an's streets he wandered, longing grew-

To find his love, for her his heartstrings sang.

In palace halls, among embroidered sleeves,

At last he saw her by the garden pool.

Her face tilted up, looked to the maple leaves,

While he called out her name, his voice the tool.

No distance great nor time's erasing rain

Could end the love these two were meant to share.

Through space and time, forever to remain-

Reunited now, no more in despair.

Their teary embrace below the mulberry tree

Fulfilled the dream of their destiny.

Author: Claude AI

Traveling to the year 690 to the Tang Dynasty of China

Strolling through Chang'an City, the palaces and pavilions are dazzling

Silk embroidered clothes, elegant calligraphy and painting, literati and poets all show

their superiority

Yang Guifei laughs and is charming, Li Bai will is charming in poetry and wine

By the Qujiang Pool, peonies and peonies compete for beauty

The fragrance is fragrant, the passion is elegant, the comfort is leisurely

Although the dynasty was prosperous, extreme happiness gave rise to sadness.

The dynasty is like a dream, the prosperity and splendor disappear in an instant

Only the country remains the same, the beautiful years will remain in the world forever

我將用中文寫一首關於690年中國唐朝生活的詩:

漫步長安城,宮殿樓閣耀眼生輝

絲綢繡衣,風雅書畫,文人墨客盡顯優越

楊贵妃笑美豔動人,李白 will詩酒風流

曲江池畔,牡丹芍藥爭奇鬥豔

香氣撲鼻,豪情逸致,愜意閒適

雖朝代盛世,樂極生悲乍現

王朝如夢,繁華絢爛轉瞬消逝

唯江山依舊,芳菲歲月永留人間

庄子在逍遥游里面说,至人无己,神人无功,圣人无名。

Zhuangzi said in the writing “Free and Unfettered You” that a perfect person has no self,

a god has no merit, and a saint has no name.

https://ctext.org/zhuangzi/enjoyment-in-untroubled-ease

Section3

逍遥游

Free and Unfettered You

故夫知效一官,行比一乡,德合一君而征一国者,其自视也亦若此矣。而宋荣子犹然笑之。

且举世而誉之而不加劝,举世而非之而不加沮,定乎内外之分,辩乎荣辱之竟,斯已矣。彼

其于世,未数数然也。虽然,犹有未树也。夫列子御风而行,泠然善也,旬有五日而后反。彼

于致福者,未数数然也。此虽免乎行,犹有所待者也。若夫乘天地之正,而御六气之辩,以游

无穷者,彼且恶乎待哉!故曰:至人无己,神人无功,圣人无名。

至人,神人,and 圣人 are three different types of people. Their achievements on

pursuing 道(dao) can be ranked sequentially. 至人 (the perfect man) made the highest

achievement, and the the 圣人( the true sage) made the lowest achievement. There is a

popular translation for this sentence: The perfect man ignores self; the divine man

ignores achievement; the true Sage ignores reputation.

Ignoring reputation is the lowest place, where the sage dwells.

Here is my understanding of this part of his writing....

He is trying to express how an enlightened person or sage will have the ability to take

advantage of special powers from the heavens but this will lead this person to be

mocked and treated badly by society. Much like Jesus and Socrates. So, to best deal

with this conflict, we have 3 choices as enlightened folks: 1. The greatest - have no self.

2. the next greatest - have no merit 3. the least greatest (saint) - have no name.

In my view, we cannot be perfect and dissolve the self, we cannot be Gods and have no

merit, but we can be a saint or sage and have no name. 无名

There is a saying in Christian concepts that explains this in a way. The phrase "No good

deed goes unpunished" is a sardonic commentary on the frequency with which acts of

kindness backfire on those who offer them. In other words, those who help others are

doomed to suffer as a result of their helpfulness.

Having no name means one does not exist and will not be offended or harmed by the

poor treatment from others when you help them.

Spiritually, the gopher nudges us to dig deeper into our inner realms, unearthing hidden

truths and concealed talents. It’s a call to venture beneath the surface, a journey of

introspection and self-discovery. A guide in the darkness, the gopher encourages you to

shine a light on your hidden fears and bring them into the light of day. And just as

gophers store food for lean times, it prompts us to conserve our resources and prepare

for the future.

Read the Alchemist:

The boy then encounters a wise alchemist, who teaches him to realize his true self.

Together, they risk a journey through the territory of warring tribes, where Santiago is

forced to demonstrate his oneness with the "Soul of the World" by turning himself into a

dust storm before he is allowed to proceed.

When he reaches the pyramids and begins digging, he is robbed by thieves, who ask

him what he is digging for; he replies that a dream has led him to buried treasure. The

thieves scoff, and the leader remarks about a dream he once had about treasure under

a tree at a ruined church. Santiago realizes the treasure he sought was where he had

his original dream all along.

Sit and Forget

Zuò wàng

坐忘

坐忘 or sit and forget or sitting with blank mind is an ancient Chinese Taoist meditation

practice. The idea is to simply sit down and erase your mind of all thoughts. This

practice does take some time to perform but appears to work quite well. When one

practices 坐忘, it empties the mind and allows the Tao to flow through.

This practice seems to bring one to a new realization and one gains an understanding

of nothingness. Coming into the present moment while watching nature and clearing

thoughts allows one to awaken to the true reality..

这揭示了我们最深处的想法。

我们喜欢高高在上,

虽然,我们最深处的渴望,

是要在下面,

心如明镜并让世界带走我们。

温柔和纯净,

偏爱大胆的人。

静静等待着,

臣服于你的

臣服于天堂。

服从上天的命令。

Deepest Desires

To uncover our innermost thoughts,

is to watch,

the endless desires of others.

Staring into the clear blue water,

on a bright sunny day.

The trees, clouds, all above,

simply reflect like a mirror.

This reveals our deepest thoughts.

We like to be above,

looking down at the world.

Although, our deepest desire,

is to be underneath,

gently reflecting and allowing the world to take us away.

Gentle and clean,

favors the bold.

Patiently waiting,

to explode.

Surrender to your,

deepest desires.

Surrender to,

the heavens.

Erase the madness,

please the heavenly mandate,

only within the mind.

Come meet us mystics,

in the mystical realm.

Reflect in the pond,

so you might fly through the heavens.

Lessons from Charlie the living Buddha

Once, I spoke to my dog Charlie and said "You need to walk 5,000 steps everyday and

if you fail to do this you will not get any treats." Charlie looked at me and I assumed he understood. I tracked his steps for the day and

he did not meet my expectations. So, I decided to take him for walks to help meet this goal I was expecting. This required

effort on my part but was successful. Charlie taught me that in order for others to meet our expectations, we are required to

do the work. Expectations from others, require work. If you like to work, expect things from others. If

you do not like to work, don't expect things from others.

We often look at the weather and wonder whether it is worth wondering whether to

wonder about the weather.

Whether we like the weather or whether we do not like the weather, will depend upon

whether the weather will allow us to weather the weather.

I suppose we might wonder whether,

We Can, Or Not....

Although....

maybe this depends upon,

whether we can walk more slowly,

猪拉丁文

Pig Latin

igP atinL

Pig latin was a secret language I observed my own mother using when I was a child. I suppose this was my initial introduction to poetry, although I did not realize it at the time. My mother would often speak this secret language with her adult friends, when English speaking children were around, so the children were unable to understand what the adults were saying.

The sounds my mother made were something like this:

"Tuh-gee too-duh gung"

This is something I did not understand and still do not understand because she made her own rules or encryption for language with her friends. Allow me to show you some examples so you might better understand this technique and secret language.

For words that begin with consonant sounds, all letters after the initial vowel are placed at the beginning of the word sequence. Then, "ay" is added, as in the following examples:

* "pig" = "igpay"

* "latin" = "atinlay"

* "banana" = "ananabay"

When words begin with consonant clusters (multiple consonants that form one sound), the whole sound is added to the end when speaking or writing.

* "friends" = "iendsfray"

* "smile" = "ilesmay"

* "string" = "ingstray"

For words that begin with vowel sounds, one just adds "hay", "way", "nay" or "yay" to

the end. Examples are:

* "eat" = "eatway"

* "omelet" = "omeletway"

* "are" = "areway"

Welcome to the language of Pig Latin my Chinese friends.

查理活佛吃水

Charlie the living Buddha eats water

One cold and snowy day....deep in the mountains, there lived an amazing golden creature named Charlie. Charlie was just as amazing as all living beings with the heart of the Buddha already living inside him. On this particular day, Charlie was very thirsty but also very hungry. As we all know, Charlie is a very wise dog with a remarkable understanding of how nature works. So, he magically opened his mouth, bit the snow, and ate some water. Now that his thirst and hunger were both satisfied, the rest of the morning, Charlie the living Buddha had an amazing time playing in the snow. This is simply another great lesson from Charlie, our wise golden teacher on.......How to eat water?

碰撞

Collisions

Why is it when we are very close to others, this is when we feel so far apart?

物极必反

things will turn into their opposite when they reach the extreme; extremes touch.

We can see this collision,

once we move beyond the desire,

we are left with having to separate.

Watching the pain others feel while separating is unbearable.

This often causes us to hold on

so we can ease their pain.

A desire to sit in the silent mountains,

stare at nature, wither away,

and melt into it.

Seeing this deep pain in others,

a desire to help the best we can.

I am torn in my wanting.

Maybe, both can be done?

when...

we watch mother nature

while using this pen!
