Bruce Lee's Class of '67 and Death by Black Hole: Physical Zen +^

[Disbasing Zen Stories]

Toxic Zen Story #7C: Physical Zen: Bruce Lee's Class of 1967 and Death by Black Hole.

What kills you is the tidal force, when you get close enough to the massive gravitational source, that one end of you (the closest) has a greater gravitational force on it than the other end of you (the farthest). So, at first you are divided into halves, then quarters, then eighths, sixteenths, and so on. Finally, your molecules and atoms are ripped into halves, lined up in a longish line pointing to and away from the black hole.

Here's a picture of a supermassive black hole feasting on the heart of a galaxy: http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0312/feature3/zoom2.html

The only question you need to answer, as you experience the tidal division from a black hole you are apparently orbiting (after ignoring copious warnings of trouble), is the following:

How big is this black hole in terms of mass?

For small black holes, the tidal effects are experienced outside of the event horizon, from which even light cannot escape (and therefore not yourself). So, if you hit the jets, there is hope of escape.

For massive black holes, when you feel the tidal pull, it is already too late, and there is no escape.

____ Background for Toxic Zen Stories ____________________

____ Introduction ________________________________________

It is by patriarchal chain of Master-Disciple, that the Zen Mind is transmitted in its most potently toxic form.

In the Buddhism of the Lotus Sutra, you make your mentor the Buddha's highest teachings, but you learn sincere faith from a person. Mind of the Buddha's highest teachings, heart of Sensei, but dedicated only to the wonderful Law.

In Zen, you cast aside the Buddha's highest teachings, and lose your faith in life and humanity, by subjugation to the mind of a master. Mind of the master, heartless, and dedicated to the emptiness inherent in life.

No other two ways of belief can possibly be more different than these. Zen is most definitely NOT Buddhism, no matter how often Zen believers quote the Lotus Sutra, like Dogen does to deceive the foolish.
_______________________________________________

All forms of the Martial Arts either derive directly from Shaolin Kung Fu (by remote source or defilement), or were heavily changed by contact with it (by mixing).

As Chuck Norris, the former kickboxing champion and television star puts it, "All of the Martial Arts are based on Zen." To be specific: Physical Zen.

When a karate blow is aimed at the head or body, the strongest force is applied by imagining the target of the blow to be on the other side of the strike zone: punching through the head or body. This means to imagine that person as a void.

The greatest martial artist in history is thought by many to be the swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. He won 60 bouts in his life, losing none. At the end of his life he holed up (in a cave, some say) and wrote his "A Book of Five Rings" (Go Rin No Sho). Many martial artists seek out this book, to find the great slashing moves, like the shoulder to hip cut with the katana.

Each seeker in turn is surprised to find nothing of the sort in Musashi's book, it is merely a depiction of the four elements, air, earth, fire, and water. And the fifth element, the void of the Zen mind, which Zen believers use to replace the True Entity of All Phenomena as the core reality of life. This slander of the Buddha's teachings, by those identified as Buddhists, is the source of Zen evil. It is possessed by every martial artist, such as the instructor and 3 students who blew up the London Underground. "Zen is the invention of the heavenly devil" - Nichiren Daishonin.

____ Toxic Zen Story ______________________________

Bruce Lee writes about Zen when he discusses liberating yourself from classical karate, and moving up from that slander of the Law to the greater slander of Jeet Kune Do. In his bio it states "In 1967, Bruce opened a third school in Los Angeles and started to attract celebrity students such as Steve McQueen, James Coburn, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Roman Polanski which he trained privately."

So, let's take a look at how the Jeet Kune Do - Roshi Bruce Lee - Class of 1967 turned out.

____ 1967 Alumnus Number 1 - Steve McQueen ________________

Steve Mcqueen had really a flourishing career, before meeting Bruce Lee and being trained by him, AND being his pallbearer at his funeral, AND narrating his bio documentary twice, in 1973 and 1977. Steve Mcqueen is the voice of the Bruce Lee Legacy.

. "If McQueen had attended the house of actress Sharon
. Tate as planned on August 9, 1969, instead of going on a
. date, he could have been murdered along with 5 others by
. the followers of Charles Manson." - Wikipedia.

So I guess the trace presence of Bruce-Lee-Zen from both Mcqueen and Polanski [Tate's husband], at Sharon Tate's house was far too attractive for the Manson Zombies to pass up. Of course, those who toxify an environment are never present for the zombie-detox.

. "Chuck Norris taught Steve Mcqueen's son karate, and
. later Steve McQueen convinced Chuck to attend acting
. classes." - Wikipedia.

Ever the glutton for more punishment, Steve launches Bruce's successor as well. LET HOLLYWOOD TAKE NOTE OF THIS: When a Zen Star is born, all the mentors and supporters will wane and suffer greatly. And the audience and the world at large suffers the most, ultimately, when the box office gifts to evil subsequently undermine our lives.

So, Steve Mcqueen offered up his career as a sacrifice to the bright new Zen Star (black hole) of Chuck Norris. And that was definitely an unworthy replacement for our blue-eyed Cincinnati Kid.

After giving loyal service to his Zen Master and passing the baton to his Zen Protege, Steve McQueen ended up transforming into a "Brian Wilson"-style recluse and finished off dying far too young (50) from a heart attack, while trying alternate therapies to cure his mesothelioma (fast spreading cancer). So, the most loyal follower of Roshi Bruce Lee is the first to die.

____ 1967 Alumnus Number 2. - James Coburn_________________

James Coburn had a flourishing career until meeting Bruce Lee.

. "However, he became associated with martial arts legend
. Bruce Lee and the two trained together, traveled
. extensively and even visited India scouting locations
. for a proposed film project, but Lee's untimely death
. (Coburn, along with Steve McQueen, was a pallbearer at
. Lee's funeral) put an end to that." - Wikipedia

After that, James Coburn contracted rheumatoid arthritis, which happily ended his martial arts career and sadly ended his action movie career, too. In the latter 1970s, it was all speaking parts, and the 1980s was dead for him. He made a comeback in the late 1990s and won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in "Affliction" in 1998.

But I guarantee you, that his rheumatoid arthritis was not allowing him to practice his Jeet Kune Do !!!

As his remaining pallbearer, James Coburn was the second most loyal follower of Bruce Lee's Class of '67, and so he was the second to die.

____ 1967 Alumnus Number 3. - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar _________

So, who's the greatest player in NBA history? Michael Jordan? Wilt Chamberlain? Magic Johnson?

Who scored the most points in his career?

Well, he's a nearly forgotten man, by the name of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

. Statistics (Wikipedia)
.
. NBA Rookie of the Year (1970)
. Played on NBA champion teams (1971, 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988)
. NBA MVP (1971, 1972, 1974, 1976, 1977, 1980) (a record 6 times)
. NBA Finals MVP (1971, 1985)
. First player in NBA history to play 20 seasons
.
. * Jersey Number - 33
. * Points - 38,387 (highest in NBA history)
. * Minutes - 57,446 (highest in NBA history)
. * Field goals attempted - 28,307 (highest in NBA history)
. * Field goals made - 15,837 (highest in NBA history)
. * Games Played - 1560 (2nd highest in NBA history)
. * Field Goal % - 55.9 (8th highest)
. * Free Throw % - 75.1
. * Rebounds - 17,440 (3rd highest)
. * Rebounds per Game - 11.2 (25th highest)
. * Assists - 5660 (29th highest)

. * Steals per Game - .74
. * Blocks - 3189 (2nd highest)
. * Blocks per Game - 2.6
. * Points per Game - 24.6 (12th highest)

Kareem was a loyal disciple of Roshi Bruce Lee - Jeet Kune Do - Class of 1967.

Jabbar also acted in the 1978 hacked up Bruce Lee movie "Game of Death" where his character Hakim lost a death match to Bruce Lee's character Billy Lo.

That's right, Abdul-Jabbar lost a fight and was killed by a dead man.

So, you'd think someone would remember this forgotten man, wouldn't you?

Ah, but those final two statistics are ruling the end of his career. More from the Wikipedia ...

. Retirement
.
. On June 28, 1989, after a record-setting twenty
. professional seasons, Jabbar announced his retirement.
.
. Coaching
.
. Abdul-Jabbar had been interested in coaching since his
. retirement, and given the influence he has had on the
. league, he had presumed that opportunities in that realm
. would come easily. However, during his playing years, he
. had developed a reputation of being introverted and
. sullen, often refusing to speak to the press, leading to
. the impression that he had nothing to say. It is widely
. believed, including by Abdul-Jabbar himself, though he
. acknowledges his own culpability in creating that
. impression, that this reputation has contributed greatly
. to the lack of coaching opportunities that have thus far
. been presented to him. Since he began lobbying for a
. coaching position in 1995, he has managed to obtain only
. low-level assistant and scouting positions in the NBA,
. and a head coaching position only in a minor
. professional league.
.
. He has worked as an assistant for the Los Angeles
. Clippers and the Seattle SuperSonics, helping mentor
. their young centers, Michael Olowokandi and Jerome
. James, respectively. Abdul-Jabbar was the head coach in
. 2002 of the Oklahoma Storm of the United States
. Basketball League (winning that league's championship
. that season), but he failed to get the head coaching
. position at Columbia University a year later. He then
. worked as a scout for the New York Knicks. Finally, on
. September 2, 2005, he returned to the Lakers as a
. special assistant to Phil Jackson [Zen Roshi] to help
. develop the team's young center Andrew Bynum. Abdul-
. Jabbar has also served as a volunteer coach at Alchesay
. High School on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation in
. Whiteriver, Arizona since 1998.

A person of astonishing ability like Abdul-Jabbar, is actually serving as a "special assistant" to a weasel like Phil Jackson, who got his job back with the Lakers by sticking it to the owner's daughter.

Holy crap.

At the end of Zen glory lies the void. But it doesn't have to end this way, Kareem is still alive, unlike McQueen and Coburn, and he can still find the Lotus Sutra, which is the only medicine powerful enough to overcome the destructive momentum of Zen in one's life.

____ 1967 Alumnus Number 4. - Roman Polanski ______________

Truly, I tell you. What happens to these guys is not their fault, it is merely their circumstances playing out.

The circumstances for these four is the presence of a major Law-devouring hungry spirit, a Zen demon, perched perpetually upon their shoulders driving them straight away from anything approaching happiness and into hellishness. When they seek something good, it eludes them. Or, for some reason they destroy it by "accident", because they are minions to their own destroyer.

That black-eyed Zen demon is not visible, because it is a colony entity of mind, with a birth back in the middle ages, and a death when the last instance of it is finally eradicated. Zen wants to spread its influence throughout the sea of humanity, and has a desire to reproduce that makes a 16-year old athlete look like a tired old man. "It" wants to live, and gloatingly feed on the sorrows and terror of humanity. Zen is the sponsor and perpetrator of the eternal Holocaust. A worthy opponent, yes?

Roman Polanski has artfully dodged the death blows that his life has tried to deal him, through the agency of others and his own human imperfections, while still courageously refusing to give in to his fate. This is noble, but he can't last forever against the crushing weight of his "passenger".

From the Wikipedia ...

. Polanski was born in Paris, France as Rajmund Roman
. Liebling to Ryszard Polanski (aka Ryszard Liebling), a
. Polish Jew, and Bula Polanska (née Katz), who was born
. in Russia to a Jewish father and Roman Catholic mother.
.
. In 1937 his family moved back to Poland, where they were
. eventually captured and imprisoned by the Nazis, along
. with millions of other Polish Jews. His mother died in
. an Auschwitz concentration camp, but Polanski avoided
. incarceration there, escaped the Kraków Ghetto and spent
. the war wandering the countryside of Europe.

The Nazi guard who let him "escape", sensed something ... that dwelt in Roman's future ... something kindred.

More from Wikipedia ...

. He was educated at the film school in Lódz, Poland, from
. which he graduated in 1959. Polanski speaks six
. languages: Polish, Russian, English, French, Spanish,
. and Italian.
.
. Several short films made during the study gained
. considerable recognition. His first major film Knife in
. the Water (1962) was the first significant Polish film
. after the war that was not associated with the war
. theme. It was Polanski's first nomination for the Oscar.
.
. Polanski then made films in Britain; Repulsion (1965), a
. disturbing tale of madness and alienation; Cul-de-Sac
. (1966) is similar in tone to the plays of Samuel
. Beckett, telling the story of a couple living on a
. remote island (Donald Pleasence and Françoise Dorleac)
. who are visited by two gangsters (Lionel Stander and
. Jack MacGowran).
.
. The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967) is the American
. title for Dance of the Vampires, an unusual combination
. of comedy and horror. Polanski's visuals give the film
. the feeling of a fairy tale, and at the same time he
. continues to explore the darker side of human
. relationships. The director was not happy with the
. American version of the film, which was re-cut in
. addition to having its title changed.

What's missing from the Wikipedia ... is his metriculation with Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do - Class of 1967, and the remarkable transformation of his life into something far more dramatic and far less pleasant. The "mind-to-mind" transfer between Ch'an/Zen master and disciple (called "Isshin Denshin" in Japanese), is like a forceful insemination and a horrific pregnancy. Roman's baby was about to enter the world, screaming bloody murder.

At the same time, Roman met an angel. Someone so perfect, who loved him enough to step into the path of his fate.

More from Wikipedia ...

. Relationship with Sharon Tate
.
. Polanski met rising star Sharon Tate while filming The
. Fearless Vampire Killers and during their time together
. doing the film they began dating. In 1968 Polanski went
. to Hollywood, where his reputation was enhanced by the
. success of the sophisticated psychological thriller
. Rosemary's Baby (1968), based on Ira Levin's book of the
. same name, about a woman (Mia Farrow) who discovers she
. is pregnant with Satan's baby. On January 25, 1968, he
. married Tate in London, England.
.
. On August 9, 1969, Tate, who was eight months pregnant,
. and four others (Abigail Folger, Jay Sebring, Wojciech
. Frykowski, and Steven Parent) were brutally murdered by
. members of Charles Manson's "Family", who entered the
. Polanski home on Cielo Drive in the Hollywood Hills with
. the intention that they would "kill everyone there".
. Distraught and heartbroken, Polanski returned to Europe
. shortly after the killers were arrested.
.
. ...
.
. Polanski has said that the greatest regret he has about
. his life was not being at his home on Cielo Drive when
. Sharon Tate and the others were murdered. Polanski
. dedicated the movie Tess to Sharon Tate. After spending
. time with Polanski in London, Tate left a copy of the
. book, along with a note saying it would make a good film,
. on Polanski's nightstand. She returned to the United
. States and was murdered soon after.

Roman absorbs this death blow, but somehow he does not die. He goes back to work and makes more movies: Macbeth (1971), What? (1972), Chinatown (1974) and The Tenant (1976).

Now it's 1977, and Roman's baby is ten years old. Like any ten-year old, the inner child is mischievous and troublesome.

. Pleaded guilty to statutory rape of 13-year-old girl
.
. In 1977 Polanski, 43, became embroiled in a scandal
. involving a 13-year-old girl, Samantha Geimer, that
. eventuated with Polanski's guilty plea on statutory rape
. charges. Polanski was initially charged with rape,
. suspicion of sodomy, child molestation and furnishing
. alcohol to a minor, but these charges were dismissed.
. The grand jury transcript describes the alcohol it is
. alleged that Polanski supplied before engaging in oral,
. vaginal and anal sex on the girl. (In Roman by Polanski,
. Polanski alleged that the mother had set up the daughter
. as part of a casting couch and blackmail scheme against
. him.) It was alleged that the director drugged her with
. quaaludes and alcohol, during a "photo shoot", and then
. proceeded to have sexual intercourse with her at the
. empty Hollywood Hills home of actor Jack Nicholson. The
. sister of the girl overheard her describing this to her
. friend over the phone, and the mother reported the
. incident to the police. After being indicted and
. spending 45 days in psychiatric evaluation, Polanski
. fled the United States for Paris when it seemed that the
. judge would not honour his plea bargain deal for no
. prison sentence.
.
. A fugitive from the United States
.
. On February 1, 1978, after pleading guilty to the
. charges, Polanski skipped bail and fled to France on
. learning that the judge was going to disregard the plea
. bargain and that he (Polanski) could be sentenced to as
. much as 50 years in prison. France has a policy not to
. extradite its own citizens, which is reflected in the
. extradition treaty between France and the United States.
. As a consequence, American requests of extradition could
. not be heeded. It was possible for the US government to
. request Polanski's prosecution by the French
. authorities. (The Washington Post, February 3, 1978).
. However US authorities chose not to avail themselves
. of this possibility, because the French have
. traditionally been unwilling to return U.S. criminals.
.
. The United States could still request the arrest and
. extradition of Polanski from other countries, should he
. visit them, mostly travelling between France and Poland.
. As a consequence, Polanski has since avoided visits to
. countries that were likely to extradite him, such as the
. United Kingdom.

So, Roman's life is cut in half by the Mansons, and then his world is divided in half by his own mistakes catching up with him. Still, he will not give in to fate, and even fights back against injustice, under impossible conditions.

More from Wikipedia ...

. Vanity Fair libel case
.
. In 2004, Polanski sued Vanity Fair magazine in London
. for libel. A 2002 article in the magazine written by A.
. E. Hotchner recounted a claim by Lewis Lapham, editor of
. Harper's, that Polanski had made sexual advances towards
. a young model as he was travelling to Sharon Tate's
. funeral, claiming that he could make her "the next
. Sharon Tate". Unusually, he was permitted to provide
. evidence over a video link, after expressing fears that
. he might be extradited were he to enter the United
. Kingdom. The trial started on July 18, 2005, and
. Polanski made English legal history as the first
. claimant to give evidence by video link. During the
. trial, which included the testimonies of Mia Farrow and
. others, it was proved that the alleged scene at the
. famous New York restaurant Elaine's could not possibly
. have taken place on the date given, because Polanski
. only dined at this restaurant three weeks later. Also,
. the Norwegian then-model disputed the accounts that he
. had claimed to be able to make her "the next Sharon
. Tate".
.
. Polanski was awarded £50,000 damages by the High Court
. in London. Graydon Carter, editor of Vanity Fair,
. responded "I find it amazing that a man who lives in
. France can sue a magazine that is published in America
. in a British courtroom" while Samantha Geimer commented
. "Surely a man like this hasn't got a reputation to
. tarnish?"

So, far, even though he is being consumed slowly by this thing he cannot escape, Roman has not stopped fighting on his way down the well: Tess (1979), Pirates (1986), Frantic (1988), and The Ninth Gate (1999).

He received the Cannes' Golden Palm for the "The Pianist". He received the Directing Academy Award for "The Pianist" in 2002, which he could not pick up personally, staving off a potential 50-year prison term.

Like all the Alumni of the Bruce Lee's Class of 1967, Polanski's life has been literally ripped into pieces, over and over.

So what's going on, here?

____ Death by Black Hole __________________________________

In Neil deGrasse Tyson's book (title above), he describes that it is not the gravitational pull during free fall into a black hole that kills you, should this unfortunate event occur to a person.

[This was also described graphically in Larry Niven's 1967 (oddly enough) Hugo Award-winning science fiction short story "Neutron Star". So this method of death is also available by neutron stars.]

What kills you is the tidal force, when you get close enough to the massive gravitational source, that one end of you (the closest) has a greater gravitational force on it than the other end of you (the farthest). So, at first you are divided into halves, then quarters, then eighths, sixteenths, and so on. Finally, your molecules and atoms are ripped into halves, lined up in a longish line pointing to and away from the black hole.

Here's a picture of a supermassive black hole feasting on the heart of a galaxy: http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0312/feature3/zoom2.html

The only question you need to answer, as you experience the tidal division from a black hole you are apparently orbiting (after ignoring copious warnings of trouble), is the following:

How big is this black hole in terms of mass?

For small black holes, the tidal effects are experienced outside of the event horizon, from which even light cannot escape (and therefore not yourself). So, if you hit the jets, there is hope of escape.

For massive black holes, when you feel the tidal pull, it is already too late, and there is no escape.

In the Three Existences of life, (the Buddhist term for the eternal moment of Past, Present and Future), all four of the Alumni of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do Class of 1967 are still in orbit around their master's life. If the two survivors can find their way to the Lotus Sutra and practice it, they can still escape death by black hole.

Only escape proves that you were not within the event horizon.

In the same way that the White Lotus is a physical metaphor conceived to resemble closely many of the characteristics of the entity of the mystic Law (at the heart of the Lotus Sutra) ... the black hole is a physical metaphor for a misleading issendai/icchantika who distorts Buddhism into Nembutsu, Zen, Shingon, or Precepts "Buddhism".

Falling into the orbit of one of these evil doers will bring you up close and personal with the tidal force of evil and the function of recursive dividing.

However, while there is life ... there is hope.

____ 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 even become its champion, in that moment you create an emptiness in your future. Each time you embrace the void again, that emptiness grows.

But it doesn't have to be ...
__________________________________________________________

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.

LS Chap. 16 .....

All harbor thoughts of yearning
and in their minds thirst to gaze at me.
When living beings have become truly faithful,
honest and upright, gentle in intent,
single-mindedly desiring to see the Buddha
not hesitating even if it costs them their lives,
then I and the assembly of monks
appear together on Holy Eagle Peak.
At that time I tell the living beings
that I am always here, never entering extinction,
but that because of the power of an expedient means
at times I appear to be extinct, at other times not,
and that if there are living beings in other lands
who are reverent and sincere in their wish to believe,
then among them too
I will preach the unsurpassed Law.
