. MSNBC: "James Everett Dutschke, a 41-year-old
. martial arts instructor, was at his home in
. Tupelo, Miss., when federal agents arrested him

____ Introduction ________________________________________

It is by 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 was arguably the most talented proponent of the Martial Arts in television and the movies, and is regarded as the principal mover in making movies on the Martial Arts a staple in Western theatres.

His most bold move to put the Martial Arts onto American television was his concept for a show called, "Kung Fu" as a Shaolin monk named Caine. He lost the role to David Carradine in the Summer of 1972, the show started late in the 1973 season (October).

. 1973, January: Production on Enter The Dragon
. begins in Hong Kong, despite Bruce's feuds with
. screenwriter Michael Alin and producers Fred
. Weintraub and Paul Heller. Bruce is now mobbed in
. public, forcing him to don disguises. He also
. receives challenges--even by mail and phone--from
. scores of tough guys. Too often Bruce accepts the
. challenges.
.
. 1973, Winter: Bruce injured several times during
. shooting. Said to look alternately pale and dark.
. On the set he hangs out with stuntmen from rival
. Triad gangs. The staged fights with 400 extras
. "often degenerated into a vengeful brawl." Bruce
. also vows to his buddies that "at the end of our
. big fight scene, I'm going to kill (co-star) Bob
. Wall." He is later talked out of it.
.
. 1973, May 10: During final edit session for
. Dragon, Bruce collapses, convulses, loses
. consciousness. Hong Kong doctors prescribe drugs
. to reduce the brain swelling they detect, but
. doctors at UCLA later find no trouble after
. series of tests. Bruce reportedly drinking as
. many as 20 sakes a night.
.
. 1973, July 20: Raymond Chow and Bruce meet at
. apartment of actress Betty Ting-Pei to go over
. new Game of Death script. Bruce complains of
. headache, Betty gives him a prescription
. herbalist pill called Equagesic, he lies down and
. hours later is dead of a cerebral edema, or
. massive swelling of the brain. Attempt to move
. body from Betty to Bruce's house exposed by Hong
. Kong critic Mel Tobias and fuels speculation of
. foul play. Original cause of death listed as
. "marijuana poisoning," later changed to "death by
. misadventure." An estimated 20,000 people attend
. his funeral in Hong Kong. Normally restrained
. Chinese weep in public.
.
. 1973, Summer: Rumors fly: he died while making
. love to Betty; he died because his house had bad
. feng shui; he died from the "Iron Fist" or
. "Vibrating Palm," a killing technique certain
. Kung Fu Grand Masters allegedly possess which
. channels all their energy into a single touch. In
. this last scenario, a Master put his hand on
. Bruce's shoulder purportedly because he had
. revealed too many martial arts secrets to
. Westerners.

Bruce died on the brink of great stardom in Hollywood. Whatever killed him, it happened as soon as he stopped being the speartip of Zen penetrating into America. First embracing the void, then used by evil for a purpose, then discarded.

Bruce Lee Chronology

Brandon Lee, his son and a person of similar talent and charisma, tried to ride his father's star to fame with the younger generation, in a movie called "The Crow", about a dead man who takes his revenge. He also died suddenly in a disaster on the movie set, with a gun supposedly loaded with blanks. Also on the brink of great stardom.

____ 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.
