[Disbasing Zen Stories]

Toxic Zen Story #31: The Zen-Tantric Wing of the Democratic Party.

Mitt Romney is Barack Obama's challenger, but his true challenger is
Obama
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The question will be: can Obama avoid association with the Zen Men
(and women) of Hollywood and elsewhere? They so earnestly want to
infect good causes with their poison.

His association with the Zen coach of the L.A. Lakers, after their
victory over the NBA, cost him heavily in the first summer (2009) of
his first term (the rise of the Tea Party). Has he learned from this?

Perhaps: after the last victory of the Lakers and Zen Phil Jackson,
their Roshi or coach, instead of being allowed into the oval office,
they met at a charity event with young people. This was wise, and
probably the best that could be done, politically.

He also had the (slanderous) Dalai Lama ('his Holiness', indeed!) into
the White House to undermine his administration further.

Lamentable choices.

Can Obama survive the incredible hole he has dug for his presidency? I
sure hope so, because the alternative is REALLY quite bleak.

. Sweeping Generalization:

. Democrats Love Humanity, but Despise Principles.


From the Democrats.Org web site:

. Thomas Jefferson founded the Democratic Party in 1792 as
. a congressional caucus to fight for the Bill of Rights
. and against the elitist Federalist Party. In 1798, the
. "party of the common man" was officially named the
. Democratic-Republican Party and in 1800 elected Jefferson
. as the first Democratic President of the United States.
. Jefferson served two distinguished terms and was followed
. by James Madison in 1808. Madison strengthened America's
. armed forces -- helping reaffirm American independence by
. defeating the British in the War of 1812. James Monroe
. was elected president in 1816 and led the nation through
. a time commonly known as "The Era of Good Feeling" in
. which Democratic-Republicans served with little
. opposition.

So, the Democrats started out initially in an ad hoc way as a "means
to an end", to fight for the Bill of Rights.

Once that end was accomplished, and not being founded on basic
principles, the Democrats have never historically had any firm
principles, except Jefferson's heavily-flawed love of humanity (He
kept slaves, but treated them well ...)

This mistake in not settling on the core beliefs is one that will take
a long, long time to rectify. Right off the bat, things go astray:

. The election of John Quincy Adams in 1824 was highly
. contested and led to a four-way split among Democratic-
. Republicans. A result of the split was the emergence of
. Andrew Jackson as a national leader. The war hero,
. generally considered -- along with Jefferson -- one of the
. founding fathers of the Democratic Party, organized his
. supporters to a degree unprecedented in American history.
. The Jacksonian Democrats created the national convention
. process, the party platform, and reunified the Democratic
. Party with Jackson's victories in 1828 and 1832. The
. Party held its first National Convention in 1832 and
. nominated President Jackson for his second term. In 1844,
. the National Convention simplified the Party's name to
. the Democratic Party.

After that the Civil War, the Reconstruction Era, the era of Jim Crow
in the South, and all of these turbulent changes betray the political
expediency which comes from a Democratic Party with no clear and basic
principles.

It was during the First World War under Wilson, the Depression and
Second World War under Roosevelt, and the Marshall Plan and Cold War
years under Truman where the Democratic Party finally forged its
principles: a love of humanity, and a basic distrust of "isms", except
for the Jefferson-ism of his intent which underlies the Declaration of
Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Jefferson's
intent to serve Humanity is truly the basic root and core belief of
the Democrats. But how do you grasp intent? It is very hard to isolate
what intent is.

The search for this meaning placed them on a path, where one principle
after another had to be discovered, grasped and then discarded ... in
a desperate and continuous search for a belief system that could allow
Humanity to flourish.

In the terms of the man who most clearly defines modern Democrats,
Bill Clinton's ... "Whatever works" is appropriate. This is an
unequivocal upholding of a Positive Moral Relativism, which seeks for
good ends, but allows bad means (like lying to the American Public).

Of course, lying about girls in the Oval Office is nowhere near as bad
as lying about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, or any of the vast
quantities of lies by the Bush II White House.

The problem of Democrats grasping around for principles at a critical
moment of need ... is that sometimes you can come up with someTHING
toxic, or a complicity with someONE toxic.

So Democratic campaigns under Clinton and Gore had to deal with
scandals related to supporters who were unsavory. In 1996, convicted
Chinagate figures John Huang, Charlie "Yah-Lin" Trie and Johnny Chung
all donated money which actually came from Chinese Military sources.

Not having learned his lesson, Gore in his incredibly close losing
effort in the 2000 campaign, was caught in a front page photo in a
(slanderous) Buddhist Temple, taking money from a bald-headed Buddhist
Priest.

As Nichiren (Japan 1222-1282), who had extremely negative views of all
Buddhist priests and monks in general, stated many times:

. According to the Buddhist teachings, prior to Shakyamuni
. slanderous monks would have incurred the death penalty.
. But since the time of Shakyamuni, the One Who Can Endure,
. the giving of alms to [or receiving from] slanderous
. monks is forbidden in the sutra teachings. Now if all the
. four kinds of Buddhists within the four seas and the ten
. thousand lands would only cease giving alms to [or
. receiving from] wicked priests and instead all come over
. to the side of the good, then how could any more troubles
. rise to plague us, or disasters come to confront us?
.
. - On Establishing the Correct Teaching
. for the Peace of the Land.

This is because in all the vast proliferation of Buddhist priests and
monks, those ones that practice the Buddhism of Shakyamuni in this
time, without distorting his teachings and ignoring his intent, are
impossible to find.

All the remaining (slanderous) priests are doing something incredibly
different from Shakyamuni Buddha: either distributing sutras that do
not resemble his teachings, or that he did not want taught, or doing
strange practices, like hand-to-hand combat that he would have
profoundly abhored ... and they do it all in his name, under the
umbrella of Buddhism, even worshipping his statues like some kind of a
god.

An often-repeated Zen saying is: "If You See the Buddha on the road,
kill him." That would be the ultimate act in the identity theft, fraud
and counterfeiting that is perpetuated by modern "Buddhist" priests.
(Zen believers will try to explain away the "real" meaning of this
phrase, but that teacher would have stated it differently, had his
intent been other than murderous. And successive Zen believers would
not have retained and re-stated it endlessly, had their intent not
been equally vicious.)

Anyone who has ever met a slanderous Buddhist priest (in modern
times), particularly IN Asia, where their arrogance and cruelty is
unbounded, would know that they are definitely NOT NICE PEOPLE.

Brutal expedients are part and parcel of the technique of a Zen
Master:

| Gutei raised his finger whenever he was asked a question
| about Zen. A boy attendant began to imitate him in this
| way. When anyone asked the boy what his master had
| preached about, the boy would raise his finger.
|.
| Gutei heard about the boy's mischief. He seized him and
| cut off his finger. The boy cried and ran away. Gutei
| called and stopped him. When the boy turned his head to
| Gutei, Gutei raised up his own finger. In that instant
| the boy was enlightened.

This story is Japanese, but is about a Chinese Ch'an Master (Ch'an was
the parent of Zen). This profound act of blatant child torture is
considered a religious text to Zen Buddhist monks and priests. It
would also not be treasured down through the centuries, unless it had
a resonance with a hidden evil: the 'cold joke' of a superior crushing
and subjugating the life condition of his inferior, complete with
heartless gloating.

And just who are the Zen-Tantric Wing of the Democratic Party?

Democratic Zen believers:

. Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Kevin Bacon, and Laurence Fishburne,
. who meditated every night at the Boston Zen center during the
. filming of Mystic River, and others.

Democratic Physical Zen (martial artists):

. Uma Thurman, Quentin Tarentino, John Cusack, etc.

Democratic Tantric (Tibetan) believers:

. Sharon Stone, Richard Gere, etc.



>>>> addendum after the 2006 election:

The Democrats didn't screw themselves this time with the usual array
of Zen-Tantric corrupted elites.

Smart move, I'm sure you will make the big mistake next time, though,
it's too hard to avoid those celebrity opportunities for a hard-
working campaign-funds-seeking elected official.

It's the Democratic Death Trap !!!

Because of that careful and close control of the election, the
Republican Red banner went down to ignominious defeat:

Sexy Republican antics with the page boys ... coverups by the House
higher-ups ... echoing trouble in the top supporters in the Christian
right ... continuing trouble on K Street

And that Iraq War...

The final excuse for that fiasco is "... fight them over there, so
that we don't have to fight them over here."

Has anyone analyzed the extreme evil of taking the war, not to
Afghanistan where 9/11 was planned and based, but instead to Iraq,
whose 600,000 dead have now been shown to be completely innocent of
9/11 and any serious Al Qaeda connection?

I think we probably deserve some serious shock-and-awe karmic
retribution for this astonishingly evil ends-justify-the-means
genocidal rampage.

Of course, chanting Nam-myoho-Renge-Kyo allows changing even this
unavoidable poison into medicine (hendoku iyaku).



>>>> addendum after the 2008 election:

Barack Obama's Difficulties Become An Asset.
--------------------------------------------

Because of Obama's 'alien-ness' problem, being pitched first by the
Clinton campaign and after that by the McCain campaign ... His
campaign would not allow him to be seen or photographed in connection
with anything weird (slander of the Lotus Sutra), such as Buddha
statues on his desk (like John Kerry), or walking hand-in-hand with
the Dalai Lama (both John McCain and Lindsay Graham did), or in a
Buddhist Temple receiving money from a priest (Al Gore).

No matter how hard they campaigned, nothing broke their way (Gore,
Kerry, McCain). They made one mistake after another, wrong action and
wrong inaction.



Barack Obama made only one serious mistake in two years of
campaigning: speaking in front of a collection of California donors
[read this as the Zen-Tantric-Physical-Zen(martial-arts) afflicted],
he was recorded BY A SUPPORTER [read this as Devadatta (the Buddha's
cousin who betrayed him and tried to murder him)] trying to explain
the people of Pennsylvania "... God, guns and religion ..." to them.
The demons lurking within know all about this topic.

That one plagued him in both the primary and general election
campaigns. His White House staff should beware of this, and not expose
the President to the slander of these Hollywood new age and Zen
people.

The Mystic River Zendo crew members, Sean Penn and Tim Robbins were
huge supporters of John Edwards during his primary 2008 campaign.
Edwards really blossomed into something astonishing in the grip of
their Zen embrace. And since then, his total self-destruction is now
complete. Zen has just that kind of almighty destructive power.



If Barack Obama's White House handlers have a brain in their head,
they will keep the President as far away from slanders of Buddhism as
possible. Just do it. Be smart this time. Give us all a big fat break
from this evil for eight years.

And keep the Zen-Tantric-Martial-Arts wing of the Hollywood elite at a
safe distance. They will want to infect the President, that demon
inside the afflicted wants to live and breath inside the White House.
They will also be coming after his family, just like they did with the
Bush girls.



>>>> addendum on the May 2012 finale of the primaries of the 2012 election:

The question will be: can Obama avoid association with the Zen Men
(and women) of Hollywood and elsewhere? They so earnestly want to
infect good causes with their poison.

His association with the Zen coach of the L.A. Lakers, after their
victory over the NBA, cost him heavily in the first summer (2009) of
his first term (the rise of the Tea Party). Has he learned from this?

Perhaps: after the last victory of the Lakers and Zen Phil Jackson,
their Roshi or coach, instead of being allowed into the oval office,
they met at a charity event with young people. This was wise, and
probably the best that could be done, politically.

He also had the (slanderous) Dalai Lama ('his Holiness', indeed!) into
the White House to undermine his administration further.

Lamentable choices.

Can Obama survive the incredible hole he has dug for his presidency? I
sure hope so, because the alternative is quite bleak.

____ Epilog _______________________________________

The Buddha's highest teachings were the purpose of the Buddha's advent
on this earth.

The Buddha did not appear on this earth to drain people's compassion
with discussions of the emptiness and meaninglessness of life which is
just a void.

The Buddha did not appear on this earth to teach people to live in
such a narrow and momentary way, that there would be no context for
self-examination and conscience.

The Buddha did not appear on this earth to possess people's minds with
such illogic as to befuddle their ability to choose correctly between
what is good and what is evil.

The Buddha did not appear on this earth to teach people how to commit
atrocities and genocide, in the exploration of their "infinite
possibilities", or "new states of being".

The Buddha did not appear on this earth to teach people how to maim
and kill with their hands efficiently, quietly, loudly, with increased
terror inflicted, or to maximize their subjugation to control the
public sentiments for political ends.

These are all profoundly evil distortions of the Buddha's true
teachings, which introduce infinities in the variables holding good
and evil, removing all shades of gray in the propositional calculus of
value.

Simply stated, the Buddha made his advent on this earth with the
purpose of teaching the compassionate way of the bodhisattva, which is
at the heart of the true entity of all phenomena, which is the eternal
Buddha at one with the eternal Law. Which is how to navigate the sea
of sufferings of birth, aging, sickness and death. He originally set
out on his path, because of his observation of the sufferings of
common people and wanting to understand the source of those sufferings
(enlightened wisdom) and how to transform those sufferings into
unshakable happiness (enlightened action).

When you embrace the void and acausality, your initial intention to
explore Being and essence doesn't matter ... the result is always the
same: chaos and misery, and utter ruination and emptiness to you,
your family, and your country.

But things don't have to be that way ...

Nichiren Daishonin writes (Encouragement to a Sick Person, WND p. 78):

. "During the Former and Middle Days of the Law, the
. five impurities began to appear, and in the Latter
. Day, they are rampant. They give rise to the great
. waves of a gale, which not only beat against the
. shore, but strike each other. The impurity of
. thought has been such that, as the Former and
. Middle Days of the Law gradually passed, people
. transmitted insignificant erroneous teachings
. while destroying the unfathomable correct
. teaching. It therefore appears that more people
. have fallen into the evil paths because of errors
. with respect to Buddhism than because of secular
. misdeeds."

Because Bodhidharma discarded the Buddha's highest teaching (the Lotus
Sutra), and due to his lazy nature turned to shortcuts to
enlightenment, he came to the distorted view that life is acausal and
empty, that the true entity is the void.

This erroneous view really comes from a misunderstanding of the Sutra
of Immeasurable Meanings, where the True Entity is described by
negation (the only way it can be): "... neither square, nor round,
neither short, nor long, ..."

The description of the True Entity is logically voidal, but the True
Entity itself is not. Bodhidharma was simply confused, due to the
slander of negligence (laziness), and false confidence. The truth of
life is that at the heart of the True Entity is the compassion of a
bodhisattva for others.

Non-substantiality does not mean empty. Life has value. Humans are
respectworthy. There is a purpose to everything. And every cause has
an effect, so we are responsible for our thoughts, words and deeds.
Zen is acausal. Zen is the greatest poison, which compares to the even
greater medicine of the Lotus Sutra.

Suffice it to say: the purpose of Zen in the world is to corrupt and
undermine everything that is not based upon the truth and the true
teaching. All religions, disciplines, institutions and organizations
which are undermined by Zen will eventually fall after glaring
revelation of their worst defects, sooner rather than later.

If there is some good in your family, locality, society and culture,
or country that you would like to retain, then cease the Zen, and
begin to apply the medicine of the Lotus Sutra to heal the Zen wound
in your life.

[Keep in mind when reading chapter two of the Lotus Sutra, that it is
the core of the "theoretical" first half of the Lotus Sutra. As such,
it expresses theoretical ichinen sanzen, the theoretical wisdom of the
Lotus Sutra.

When you read this section it can raise in your mind the provisional
view of Buddhism, that enlightenment is attained through worshipping
statues or various practices over many lifetimes, which is incorrect
for this time. In fact, the one and only way to attain the
enlightenment related to the Lotus, is the practice of the Lotus
Sutra, which in the latter day of the Law is chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-
Kyo.]

LS Chap. 2

If there are persons who for the sake of the Buddha
fashion and set up images,
carving them with many distinguishing characteristics,
then all have attained the Buddha way.
Or if they make things out of the seven kinds of gems,
of copper, red or white copper,
pewter, lead, tin
iron wood, or clay,
or use cloth soaked in lacquer or resin
to adorn and fashion Buddha images,
then persons such as these have all attained the Buddha way.
If they employ pigments to paint Buddha images,
endowing them with the characteristics of hundredfold merit,
if they make them themselves or have others make them,
then all have attained the Buddha way.
Even if little boys in play
should use a piece of grass or wood or a brush,
or perhaps a fingernail
to draw an image of the Buddha,
such persons as these
bit by bit will pile up merit
and will become fully endowed with a mind of
great compassion;
they all have attained the Buddha way.
