A Comparative Study of Maoism and Buddhism
CW28:No.20
Yogi C. M. Chen

http://yogichen.org/cw/cw28/bk020.html

The Motive
When I arrived in America in December of 1972, I met many of my
readers and friends who had been to my hermitage once or many times
and also some new visitors. However some of them have more or less
mistakes in their recognition of Maoism and Buddhism. Many Buddhist
countries such as Burma, North Vietnam and North Korea have already
become Communist countries. The practice of almsgiving, helping the
poor, internationalism and Bodhisattvas attitudes are similar to the
Communist false ideals. Some people are not able to, nor have they
tried to discriminate between Buddhist philosophy and Marxism.
Actually Buddhist philosophy is not even based upon psychology, much
less based upon physiology as the Communist theory of Materialism.
Maoism is, in fact, a group of robbers being utilized by a few
ambitious persons, and the differentiations between them and Buddhists
are very easy to distinguish.

Just like a snake moving inside a bamboo, the upside toward the open
sky is Buddhism and the downside which falls into hell is Maoism. The
American New Communist Party is quite different from Maoism, except
for those who have been brainwashed by Maos bloody water! Hence a
Buddhist should keep himself in the purification of Hinayana and
sublimation of Mahayana according to the doctrines. Dont confuse it
with Maoism!

Maoism
Along with his teachers Marx and Lenin and followers Lin Piao and Kuo
Mo-Jo,

1. Established Castes

In a non-caste country Mao created castes. In China there were no
castes at all, neither in ancient times nor at the beginning of this
century. Confucianism (551 B.C.), which is a powerful ethic to every
Chinese, gives us a most influential proverb: "All within the four
seas are brothers." Mao himself was not a Proletariat nor was Lin Piao
who had enough money to stay and study in Moscow, nor was Cho En Lai
who was a student in Paris.

In short, among all those robbers, there was not even one proletariat.
But Mao created the class of Proletariats by setting fire to all those
villages which he had robbed. He wrote a book named "Analysis of the
Classes in Chinese Society" in which he created the Landlord class,
compressor class, middle bourgeois, semi-proletariat, and the
proletariat. They are neither known to the Chinese historians nor
really appeared in that society.

Mao just utilized the poor to kill the rich. He enslaved the poor
farmers to work in the fields and send the full harvest into his own
pockets, allowing them a little food to support their lives of a
meager existence. Most classes were created by Mao himself, and
neither by birth nor by society. They are changeable; a proletariat
may become a rich man and a landlord a burglar. Chow En Lai was once a
bourgeois and was driven out from Maos party.

Buddhism
Along with other religions of the heaven-and-man-yana, (Maos
contradictory actions against his own memory are also mentioned on
this side!)

1. Abolished Castes

In caste-countries Gautama Buddha got rid of castes. In India, every
historian knows, that there were four classes or castes: viz.,
Brahmana (priests), Ksatriya (warriors), Vaisya (Merchants or
landowners), and Sudra (laborers). Gautama Buddha was a Ksatriya but
neither looked up to the Brahmana nor disregarded the Sudra.

In Sutta-Nipata, Buddha says:

No outcast is by birth;
No Brahman is by birth.
By deed an outcast be;
By deed a Brahman be!
Who is no man-of-worth,
and makes claim to be.
Robber of all world is he (Mao);
Lowest outcaste is he.
Such are all outcastes called
This I declare to thee.
And Buddha voluntarily took from beneath his bed a Candle, who was of
the lowest caste of Sudra, to be his disciple and helped him to become
an Arhat, even before Ananda, who was of the same caste as Gautama
Buddha.

In the Dhammapada Sutra there is a chapter which particularly
emphasizes the merits and virtues a Brahman should possess; and Buddha
is called a great Brahman.

Maoism
2. Proletariat is Emphasized

Mao himself admitted that there were only two million proletariat
among the Chinese population of 700 million, as is written in his
booklet "Analysis of the Classes in Chinese Society," "Because China
is economically backward." Actually two million is not the real
number; there may be even less. Chinese industry had not yet been well
developed before the rise of Mao to power. The workers had good wages
and never joined his group of robbers. All the people Mao had gathered
together were lazy man: robbers, thieves, pick-pockets, highwaymen,
burglars, shoplifters, poachers, and small mobsters. As the so-called
revolution is based upon such a class of proletariat, it has no
foundation at all.

According to Marxism, Communism will develop in industrial countries
but not in agricultural countries. And Lenin predicted that although
Russia had begun the road to Communism first, yet England would become
a real and perfect communist country before Russia due to its higher
level of industry. Today neither Russia nor China nor England have
become real Communist countries. Ironically, those Communist countries
must purchase wheat from Canada and America to feed their people. If
Canada became communist too, all communists will surely die of
starvation. Obviously, the farmers under Communist leadership get
little in return for their labor, and therefore do not work well!

Buddhism
2. Poverty is Emphasized

In Buddhism the poor men were those who did not give alms to others
and had robbed rich men in their past lives. Hence, they were born
into poor families or even into rich families which cannot keep their
properties well and fall into a poor state. Or they are very foolish
and cannot learn the skills of some art or commerce to support their
livelihood. But it is very easy for them to receive religious
teachings if they have good will and good motives. Confucius said,
"The good man may indeed have to endure poverty, but the bad man when
he is poor gives way to unbridled license," that is, becomes a robber
or Communist (a Communist is a robber without shame, while a robber is
a Communist with shame). In every religion all the sages were poor. It
is said, "Among every ten sages almighty, there are nine Dhalum
Kargyus; among every ten Dhalum Kargyus, there are nine of poverty!"

Is there in the Chinese Communist Party any proletariat poorer than
the Sage Milarepa who ate only herbs and lived in a cave, and resulted
in his whole body changed to a green color. But at last he became
Buddha and many rich and poor men were blessed by him. Mao actually is
not a proletariat and has now become very rich. He is more so than any
capitalist in America, yet he is still not satisfied.

All other religions emphasize poverty. The Christian Sage St. Francis
was praised by every Westerner and even by Easterners.

Maoism
3. Landlords Should be Killed

Landlords are said to always side with Imperialism. See page 1 of Maos
work, "Analysis of the Classes in Chinese Society." Eventually the
Imperialism of the Ching dynasty was abolished by the so called
revolution of Kuomintang at which time there was no Maoism. Even in
the time of Imperialism, the taxes for the land were paid by landlords
and not by farmers.

This tax was only a small percentage which would be paid even in a
democratic country. As the landlord were required to pay the tax, they
would be allied with the farmers and not with Imperialists as Mao has
said. As Mao wanted to rob all the profits for his own pockets, he had
to utilize the farmers by advising them to love their nation by
sending all their production to the nation, not even a grain of corn
is left at home.

Prior to Maoism, the farmers sent half of their harvest at the time of
the first ripening to the landlord , keeping the other half for
themselves, and keeping the entire harvest of the second ripening.
Now, they only get a little food; no wonder they do not work as
diligently as before. Russia suffers from a similar problem. This type
of communist system will never succeed.

Buddhism
3. Native Land to be Renounced

The practical foundation of Buddhism is renunciation. Even the hippies
who emphasize dropping out have no attachment to their homeland. All
the land of Taiwan was distributed to the people; the landlords were
not killed, but were given money for the take over of their land. Now
the landlords and farmers are both enjoying their own harvests which
are never gathered into the pockets of their president.

Buddhists practice the twelve Dhuta-gunas. First, dwelling only among
tombs, then living at the root of a large tree, then dwelling in the
open air. Never desire to occupy more land. A very good poem is found
from Tibet:

Mind depends upon Dharma.
Dharma depends upon poverty.
Poverty depends upon death.
Death depends upon solitude.
I myself lived in a cave for two years, in tombs one year, in the
mountains of Kalimpong for 25 years, and I never had an inch of land,
but I lived in a happy state which Mao could never dream of.

Jesus had no place to lay his head as St. Matthew said, "The foxes
have holes, and the birds of the heavens have nests; but the son of
man hath nowhere to lay his head."

But Mao robbed all the land of the great land of China and the price
was the landlords?heads strewn everywhere! What a great pity this is!
Those who shared Maos money should also share his punishment very
soon.

Maoism
4. Deprived Labor Value

Labors value is much lower under Maoism than in the free world.
According to the records of the international statistics list of
wages, no countrys wages are as low as that of Chinese laborers. Hong
Kong is geographically very close to China, but wages for a Hong Kong
Laborer for one month is equal to six years of wages for the Chinese.
What a large deprivation this is!

Mao always asks those laborers to love their people, but each laborer
is himself people, and it seems Mao is only asking them to love Mao
himself. All the surplus value of every laborer goes into his own
pocket. If the definition of a Capitalist is based upon the
deprivation of the labor surplus value, then Mao is the only great
Capitalist in the entire world, and there are no Capitalists in the
free world.

Mao speaks very beautiful and sugary words to cheat all the Chinese
laborers. They all suffer with overtime work. The system of eight
hours of labor, eight hours of recreation, and eight hour of sleep,
has been abolished by Mao. Labor in the free world is regarded as
sacred, but in the robbery of China, labor is a kind of punishment.
Many people have died in Maos labor camps. Liu Shao Chionce a so-
called Chairman of Chinawho had helped a lot of labor movements to
create a lot of trouble for the Kuomintang, now suffers the hardships
of a Mao labor camp. Those whose positions are next in line to Liu
should be careful.

Buddhism
4. Free-will Labor

Buddhist monks?labor is based upon free-will, and the laborers of the
free world have been well protected.

The Chan monasteries of China had their own rules arising from their
own free will. The law in China did not require the monks to worship
the Emperor, but the Emperor should worship his Guru, who is a monk.
Nevertheless, the Chan monasteries always had some work to be done, a
few hours to gather wood for fuel, and to plant and care for
vegetables for their meals. A favorite proverb says, "The day without
work is the day without food." But the time needed to work was short
and the work was light, so every monk liked to do it.

In America, laborers have been protected by many organizations. Their
wages are the highest in the whole world. They have labor banks to
keep their money in until they can purchase shares and become so-
called capitalists themselves. In America there is no set class of
labor or of capitalists as Marx so easily created. In the government
there is the Labor Department which contains the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, the Childrens Bureau and Womens Bureau, Labor Standards,
Public Contract Division, and Wage and Hour Division. Labor has been
so completely protected. Abraham Lincoln declared, "The strongest bond
of human sympathy outside of the family relation should be one uniting
all working people of all nations and of all tongues."

Maoism
5. Contradiction

The contradictions in Maos works are not only showing up within all
the above classes, but also amongst their own party. On page 316 of
Maos work called "The Selected Work of Mao Tze Tung" it is written,
"There is nothing which does not contain contradiction; without
contradiction nothing exists." On page 317 the fact of contradiction
within the party is proved, "If there were no contradiction in the
party and no ideological struggles to resolve them, the partys life
would come to an end." In Maos theory and Maos actions, contradictions
are also found. He emphasizes the equality of all people on the one
hand, but also dictatorship on the other hand. On page 39 of his small
booklet of quotations, it is written, "The aim of this dictatorship is
to protect all people so that they can devote themselves to peaceful
labor." Before Maos dictatorship, there were many strikes amongst the
laborers. But since Maos regime took power there have been no strikes.
Things seem to be peaceful, but this is because strikers are now
executed. One striker yields one murder, one thousand strikers yields
one thousand murders. Very mathematical, but what a terrible peace it
is! In Mao Country, peace means death! On the other hand, Mao
emphasizes leadership. But after he lost his political leadership, he
created and utilized the Red Guard through which he betrayed Liu Shao
Chi ten years ago. Since then, China has had no head of state. What
nation has ever been like this in the history of the world!

Buddhism
5. Harmonization

Besides Dhammapada verse No. 332 showing harmonization, much has been
written in Confucianism: "One humane family can harmonize a whole
state. But one grasping and perverse man can drive a nation to Chaos."
It is also said: "Happiness, rage, grief, delight, to be unmoved by
these emotions is to stand in the axis, in the center. Being moved by
these passions, each in due degree, constitutes being in harmony. The
axis is the center, is the great roof of the universe, and that
harmony is the universes outspreading process. From this roof and in
their harmony heaven and earth are established in their precise
modalities, and the multitudes of all creatures persist, nourished in
their meridians."

It is also written "through the principle of harmony, order is
restored in the physical world. When the parents and children are
affectionate toward one another, the juniors respect the elders, and
this respect is extended to all people in the country."

But Mao has no faith in such doctrines. He emphasizes the
contradiction between each pair of opposites. He has trained many
children in each family of China to be a spy on his own family. The
spy-net extends in every direction, to every corner, every cave, every
village, and every family. Many parents have been killed by their own
children. Lin Piao escaped at night in an airplane, but this secret
information was sent by Lins own daughter to Mao and enabled the
killing of her own father. Mao also doubted his own son who was sent
to battle. Mao borrowed the gun of his enemy to kill his own son. What
a great pity!

Maoism
6. Contradictions as Illustrated by Lenin
On page 317 of "The Selected Works of Mao Tze-Tung, Vol. 1," Mao
quoted Lenins illustration of the universalness of contradictions as
follows:

In mathematics: + and -, differential and integral

In mechanics: action and reaction

In physics: positive and negative electricity

In chemistry: combination and dissociation

In social science: the class struggles

On the same page he said, "Opposition and struggle between ideas of
different kinds constantly occur within the party. This is a
reflection within the party of contradictions between classes and
between new and old society. If there were no contradiction in the
party and no ideological struggles to resolve, the party life would
come to an end."

Would it not be very good if the partys contradictions come to an end?
In contrast, Confucius said, "The gentle man takes every group as his
friend, but has no party!"

Actually Lenins examples mean only co-operation or identity. Negative
depends upon positive and vice versa. A bank needs both + and -;
without +, how could they total the deposits? Without -, how could
they balance records after disbursements are made? Male and female
organs are opposites, but compliment one another in harmony. Even in
homosexuality, one partner must assume the position of female. If Mao
fights with Lin Piao, the same organs fight together. What
brashness!!

Buddhism
6. Harmonization in the Best Tantric Sense

In the social sciences, women and men are said to be of mutual aid to
each other. Neither side should fight with the other. In Buddhism we
read in the Hevajra Tantra, "The yogi conceives the diversity
(contradiction, as Mao says) of existence as the process of emanation
and realizing the dream like nature of this diversity, he renders it
undiversified by means of its diversity." In yogi and yogini, their
organs seem to be contradictory but the ritual of sexual intercourse
brings them into harmony.

Recently we have been shown an example of harmonization through
research of the biochemistry of cells. A living cell is driven to work
repetitiously to acquire and anabolize adequate quantities of right
quality of nutritional substances; an individual who is either
predominantly male or female, is driven to seek the complimentary
opposite sex. Every bisexually differentiated individual is forced to
restore his internal with external equilibration, and the
counterbalancing biodynamic organization of integration as a whole.

In Taoism, the contradiction is between yin and yang. In Hinduism, the
contradiction is between shakti and Shakta. Both religions emphasize
harmony rather than struggle.

Our new hermitage is named Adi Buddha Mandala, situated on an
auspicious geomancy as the Tai (peace) hexagram. It says the receptive
(earth-yin) and the creative (heaven-yang) meet and are in harmony.
The result of their meeting is peace, not struggle.

Maoism
7. Mao emphasizes Struggle and War

Mao interprets the theory of contradiction as struggle between each
faction of classes. Therefore, many kinds of war result and will
continually occur without end. His experience yields the conclusion
found on page 3 of his booklet of quotations, "Political power grows
out of the barrel of a gun." This is the real truth of evil that Mao
has found out. Imperialism, or Communism, both operate under the same
principle of warlordism. If the warlord of capitalism should be
killed, Mao the founder of warlordism should be killed first. He also
emphasizes that struggle is absolute, but that unity is only
conditional. In his "Selected Works," page 342, volume 1, he writes:
"We say that the unity of opposites is conditional, temporary and
relative, while the struggle is absolute." Again on page 334 of the
same book, "Contradiction and struggle are universal and absolute." On
page 344 he pointed out that struggle is ubiquitous, that means
omnipresent. But in his book of quotations he says, "War should be
abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is
necessary to take up the gun." Which is the truth? If war is
omnipresent, why get rid of it? Why is there such a truth as
omnipresent war? And why did he say, "War is the continuation of
politics?" Did he ever have a good motive for getting rid of war? He
certainly did not! Those American Women for Peace should give their
advice to Mao instead of to the American President.

Buddhism
7. Buddhism emphasizes Love and Peace

In Dhammapada Buddha advises Mara:

Live and do good,
Live holy and taste reward,
Why do you struggle?
Hard is struggle,
Hard to struggle all the time!
Dhammapada also includes these thoughts:

Better than a thousand vacuous speeches
Is one sane word leading to peace!
In the Chinese Tripitaka Fo-sho-tzan-king, it is written: "Conquer
your foe by force, you increase his enmity; conquer by love, you will
reap no after-sorrow!"

The Dhammapada states: "Never does hatred cease by hating; hatred
ceases by love!," and states further on, "Let a man overcome anger by
love; let him overcome evil by good."

In Ashokas edicts it is written, "Wherein does religion consist? It
consists in doing as little harm as possible, in doing good in
abundance, in the practice of love, of compassion, of truthfulness and
purity, in all walks of life!"

Our Maha-bodhisattva Manjusri developed twelve vows; among them, one
is loving his enemy.

In Christianity, a Bulgarian proverb runs, "Where there is love, there
is God." In the Bible, 1 John 4.15?God is love, and he that dwelleth
in love dwelleth in God and God in him." A Spanish proverb runs, "a
piece of bread with love is better than a hen with suffering." In Red
China all people suffer in their doubts for one another and never get
a hen.

Maoism
8. Maos Warlordisms Final Aim is to defeat America

Maos quotation pointed out that the final aim of his warlordism will
be to defeat America. "The struggle against U.S. imperialism and its
lackeys will assuredly win still greater victories." He also pointed
out that the first World War was followed by the birth of the Soviet
Union and that the second World War was followed by the birth of the
Chinese Socialists. Mao wants to lead a third World War to defeat
America and make the third international society successful. It is
quite a dream. Actually, the last two World Wars were won only after
America had joined in. Did not the German military almost occupy
Moscow? If the Americans did not join the war, Moscow would have been
captured. If the Japanese had not surrendered to America, how would
Mao have gotten the chance to rob all over the great land of China.
But Mao wanted to cover the eyes of those fools and kill those learned
persons who realized what he was doing. He could kill only those in
China, but not those in the rest of the world. However, he still
emphasizes the fight with America. In his quotations he says, "People
of the world unite and defeat the U.S. aggressors and all their
running dogs."

Now Mao seems to follow the example of Khrushchevs revisionism whom he
had criticized for becoming connected to the U.S., by setting up the
Sino-U.S. Joint Communiqué. Yet Chou En Lais name is on this document,
not Maos, for in this way Mao can repudiate the agreement and prepare
the way for the killing of Chou En Lai. Sino-U.S. contact will be
broken again. At present, the Central Committee members are Maos wifes
running dogs. It is a starting point of preparation!!

Buddhism
8. Buddhism takes America as its Center

In each important generation for a certain yana there is a central
country. When Buddha was alive, India was the central country for the
Hinayana, the foundation of all three yanas. When Mahayana flourished
in China, the center had moved from India to China. Tibet was the
central country of the Vajrayana. Now America will be the center of
the whole world for the whole system of Buddhism, which I alone loudly
emphasize. I was sent by Buddha to come here to America, was welcomed
by the great Dragon King and got the auspicious geomancy for my
hermitage which is in the form of the Tai Hexagram that fits the
purpose of propagating the whole system of Buddhism to the whole world
for peace.

Buddha chose America as a center not because of her economic
conditions, or military conditions, but for the innocent, kind,
generous, and humanistic attitude of her people, on the one hand, and
her naturally flourishing development of Buddhism, on the other hand.
Among all my free gift addresses of the whole world, Americans occupy
thirty percent. Now in America many Chan centers have been
established. Many college students have become Buddhists. Many
universities welcome my books and booklets even though they were
written in my poor English. Though the heavy Tripitaka has no legs;
they have arrived in many libraries; not only the Chinese Tripitaka,
but also the Tibetan Tripitaka.

Maoism
9. Mao Insults America as Imperialistic and Instigates the Youth to
Struggle Against Their Own Nation

In Maos booklet titled "People of the World, Unite and Defeat the U.S.
Aggressors and All Their Lackeys," on page 8 it is written, "U.S.
Imperialism is the most ferocious enemy of the people of the world."
Once I took my friend who had ear trouble to a free clinic. On their
wall I saw a printed announcement which said, "Unite and defeat the
American Imperialism" as well as Maos whole quotation. I immediately
wrote the following poem:

Here has imperialism who say?
Its written on the wall in May!
Did she not fight with the real one?
(English Imperial.)
Such history who can deny?
Has she an Emperor or Queen?
Does any slave on the ground lay?
Has she no constitution?
Nor election in the same way?
Didnt she let the Japanese be free?
Become rich and no more decay?
(Is there any Eastern European Communist Country to compare with?)
I am an old Chinese refugee,
As long as possible, here I would like to stay!
I put it on the wall there and asked to talk about it but received no
reply. Actually Mao is the only real Imperialist for the reason that
his dictatorship is anti-liberalism, emphasizes the power of the gun,
is anti-every-religion, has the killing habit, and a cruel policy. All
his conditions are more than enough to prove that his evil is the only
Imperialism that world history has ever known.

Buddhism
9. Buddhist Views America as a Real Communist Country

I am a Buddhist who has found out that the U.S.A. is a real communist
country without blood-shed, i.e., communism in the true sense as
proposed by Karl Marx. First of all I go to the post office,
university, and bank and found many black Afro-Americans and white
Americans working together. On the street I see many beautiful Afro-
American women arm in arm with handsome white American youths. But
Maos booklet says, "19 million Afro-Americans in the U.S. have been
enslaved, oppressed and discriminated against." It is quite a rumor.
Mao just likes to instigate a civil war in the U.S. In China there are
five different races: Chinese, Manchu, Mongol, Mohammedan and Tibetan
with different languages, literatures, religions and customs, but Mao
never asked them to struggle against one another. They are all under
his dictatorship.

In America I have also found out that every man and woman has a smile,
sense of humor, love and kindness. They all more or less have
religious interest either in Christianity or in Buddhism. By lifting
your thumb up to hitch-hike you can freely get a car to take you where
you are going. By application you can get food stamps for your months
food. By going to a certain place at a certain time every day you can
get a free dinner-through the Food Project. By the time you reach 65,
everyone may get social security pension to live on until they die.
Old men and women as well as children are given many kinds of special
treatment. Free clinics are available everywhere. The good quality of
the dog food is better than that received by many Chinese people; the
small quantity of cat food is still more than that received by many in
China; but this is not the case in Hong Kong or Taiwan. What a
comparison of Heaven and Hell!

Maoism
10. Maos Poems are of Heroism

In the work "Ten More Poems of Mao Tze-Tung" he writes:

In heroic triumph heaven and earth have been overturned! Over
Chungshan swept a storm headlong. Our mighty army (in Chinese this
also means heroic), a million strong, has crossed the great river. The
city, a tiger crouching, a dragon curling, outshines its ancient
glories. With power to spare, we must pursue the tottering foe, and
not ape Hsiang Yu the conqueror seeking idle fame. Were nature
sentient, she too would pass from young to age. But in mans world seas
change into Mulberry fields!
Mao is a robber, so he uses blood as his ink, a gun as his pen, a
skull as his inkstone, and mans skin as his paper. Full of terrible
words such as "overturned," "tottering foe," "crouching tiger",
"power" and "swept"; he never makes the reader feel happy but only
afraid.
A poet at least should have a heart. Mao indulges in materialism and
has no heart. R. W. Gilder has written a good poem which might be good
advice for Mao:

"Give me a theme" the little poet cried:
"And I will do my part."
"tis not a theme you need," the world replied;
"You need a heart!"
Mao only wants every man, woman, boy and girl to deliver their hearts
to himself.

Buddhism
10. Buddhist Poems are of Compassion

Buddhism emphasizes non-egoism; nothing of heroism was ever created by
its pen. It never kills others but only its own evils. See the
following stanzas from the Dhammapada:

Throw away anger, give up pride,
Give up worldly desires;
How can grief touch you,
If nothing is your own.
It is not by hunting creatures
that a man becomes excellent;
Only by non-violence,
Is excellence achieved!
He kills his lust and ignorance;
He kills ambition and pride;
He slaughters all the evils of the body,
and the saint unaffected, proceeds as he is!
In my booklet New No. 41 on Ahimsa there are many good poems written
by ancient Chinese Buddhist sages. Here I select one for your
comparative study:

Hundred and thousand years of meat soup, red and white,
The deep ocean of hatred made by a thousand knights,
If one wants to know the cause of war and fights,
Listen to the slaughterhouse groans at midnight!
Maoism
11. Maos Poems are of Warlordism with Rancidity

Most of Maos poems describe war; every reader knows this. Hence a
rancid smell is prevailing in his poem book. In the following example
you may discover this. According to Mao, monks may be killed and flies
are not to be loved:

Only heroes can quell tigers and leopards;
And wild beasts never daunt the brave.
Plum blossoms welcome the whirling snow.
Small wonder flies freeze and perish.
Confounding humans and demons right and wrong.
The monk was kind to foes and mean to friends;
Endlessly he intoned the incantation of hope;
And thrice he lets the demon escape.
The monk deserved to be torn limb by limb.
According to the original Chinese, the last line makes reference to a
thousand knives. It means the monk should be hacked by a thousand
knives. What a cruel statement But this is not only a poem. An ironic
occurrence happened in Kwantung. A very well known old Chan monk, Hsu-
Yun (whose Chan teaching has been translated into English and sold by
Rider & Co. of London) was beaten to death four times by the Maoists,
and each time through his deep meditation power he was resurrected.
The last time he had already met the next Buddha Maitreya, who advised
him to come back here again. He was 111 years old, but he still lived
another nine years with broken ribs, till the last monastery of the
Chan school was repaired by him.

Buddhism
11. Buddhist Poems are Anti-war with Tears

When the poem book of the Tung Dynasty is opened, one may find many
Buddhist poems which gave advice of non-war. But unfortunately none of
the translations has rhyme. Therefore, I have translated a few below:

"A Spring Sigh for her Husband in the Battle of Liao Hsi"
by Chin Chang-Hsu

Drive the orioles away.
Dont twitter here and stay!
If you wake up my dream,
I might miss my sweet way!
"Anti War" by Chen Tao

In battle who cared of body?
Died in vain, left his lady.
Though bones remain in the stream,
Still a lover in wifes dream!
"Crossing the Han River" by Li Pin

Away from home, for news I was longing!
Winter after winter, Spring after spring!
Now nearing my village, countryman meet,
I dare not ask even a single question!
"Return after War" by C. M. Chen (in Chinese calligraphy at the
beginning of this booklet)

My burnt house is close to the waste land.
Spring signs still grow up on the willow!
The old nest of course has the same end,
But no address to tell the swallow!!
All foolish readers who have the "market idol" as Bacon said, like
Maos poems only because of his high position.

Maoism
12. Maos Poems Prove His Killing Habit Even Reached the Mountains.

In one of Maos poem books it is written:

To Kunleen now I say,
Neither all that height
Nor all that much of snow are needed.
Could I draw the precious sword that
Leant upon the sky.
To slice you into three bits:
Giving one to Europe,
One to America,
Leaving one in China.
If others were to write such a thing, Mao would have them killed as
traitors. Kunleen belongs to China; every geographer knows it. But Mao
is envious of its height and wants to divide it into three parts. In
thus doing Kunleen would be shorter than Mao himself. He has killed
landlords, rich persons, his political enemies, the red guards whom he
created to kill others, and then he became afraid of their killing
himself. He killed many sparrows, and forced other people also to kill
the sparrows. Burma followed and also killed many of these birds. He
is quite a robber without even the knowledge of a primary school
student who knows that the sparrow is a valuable bird to mankind.
Mountains are certainly not harmful and in fact Mao was saved from
being killed by hiding in them. Who could find any reason for him to
kill the mountain?

Buddhism
12. All Buddhist Poets Do Love the Mountains

Some of my poems which describe how I love and am beloved by the
mountains, I jot down below. Even poems of non-Buddhists, both East
and West, are more or less concerned with mountains.

"The Mountain Loves me Too" by C. M. Chen

Green spring and white stone I love both.
The small rain makes mountain a bath.
It seems to look at me with a smile.
Would it love me too for awhile?!
"Peak Wishes Herself Belonging to me" by C. M. Chen

Sky has those pink clouds as its adorner.
Breeze and Crows detain me as their partner!
Nice peak wishes herself belonging to me.
No matter whoever is her real owner!
(I need not kill its owner and yet can still enjoy the "Mountain")
A poem by Grace Harfard Conkling

Mountains are good to look upon,
But they do not look too long!
They are made of granite.
They will break your heart!
"Mountains in the Twilight" by Keith B. Hanse

Mountains have a dreamy way
Of folding up a noisy day:
In quiet cover, cool and gray!
Nobody wants to kill the mountain but Mao who will kill himself very
soon as in this poem written by Rae ONeill:

Remember Men of Guns and Rhymes
And kings who kill so fast!
That men you kill too many times
May be too dead at last!!
Maoism
13. Some Other Comparative Points of Maoism

A. Mao created new classes.

On page 255 of Maos quotations he creates new classes as follows:

1. "The individual is subordinate to the organization." Now he is
chairman of their party, so he becomes the emperor. When he was only
an individual he created the revolution.

2. "The minority is subordinate to the majority." He was once a local
robber, now he forgets that he was once in the majority.

3. "The lower level is subordinate to the central committee." He does
not remember that when he was a local robber he was of course in the
lowest level only.

4. "The entire membership is subordinate to the central committee."
Because Mao himself is now on the central committee. If compelled to
be only a member, like a spoiled child, he would create another
revolution.

B. Mao rejects Liberalism

On page 248 of his quotations he says,?Liberalism is extremely
harmful, it is an extremely bad tendency." But when he was a local
robber, he fought for liberalism at the cost of many robbers?lives.

C. Mao allows and gives no criticism of himself.

One of his quotations is, "The only way to settle any questions is by
criticism." But Mao himself is never criticized. Following Stalins
example, it will be done only after his death by others and by his
daughter. (Now his wife and red guards leaders were seized in 1976.
This booklet was published in 1973.)

D. Maos poetry books are sold.

With warlordism and rancidity, his book of ten poems sells for one and
half a dollar. This is much more than any poem book by other authors
of similar quantity.

Buddhism
13. Some Other Comparative Points of Buddhism

A. Buddhism has many levels of wisdom and compassion but not of
class.

1. Hinayana has four levels of the position of Arhat, viz.,
Srotapanna, Sakradagamin, Anagamin, Arhat. All may be accomplished by
oneself.

2. Mahayana has ten levels of position of Bodhisattva, viz.,
Pramudita, Vimala, Prabakari, Arcismati, Sudrjaya, Abhimukhi,
Duramgama, Acala, Sadhumati, and Dharmamegha.

3. Vajrayana has some more levels than Mahayana, and one may get full
enlightenment in this lifetime. Every man or woman who follows the
doctrine and practices it has an equal opportunity to become a
Buddha.

B. Buddhism emphasizes real liberation; our great guru Padmasambhava
is called the Great Liberator. In the Dharmapada, Buddha Gautama
personally taught his disciples that, "Let a man overcome the greedy
by liberality, but in everything charity."

C. Self-criticism is even done by emperors. When the Tung dynasty had
a drought for seven years, the Tung emperor cut his hair and nails and
exposed himself in the sun, criticized himself about six events, and
then got rain!

D. Chenian fifty-one poems sent freely.

My poems in Chinese have been sent to libraries all over the world.
Fifty-one have been translated into English and distributed freely to
people. If Communist means non-robber, then I am the only real
Communist in the whole world!

Why this is marked as abuse? It has been marked as abuse.

Report not abuse

We live in a society of law and I am calling psychiatrists CRIMINAL.
Why don't they do something to me in a LEGAL sense because they are
criminals and they can only resort to criminal means since mental
illness is a SCAM! Do you understand what I am trying to say? I know
for a fact that mental illness is a scam that I am willing to put my
LIFE on the line. Why don't psychiatrists put their LIFE on the line
since they believe mental illness is real? Because I have offered
proof that mental illness is a SCAM and they have been caught! They
have no confidence in their scam anymore and act like a little boy who
hides with his hands in his ears ignoring what someone is telling him
hoping that it will all go away. But as people with conscience we have
to teach the child right from wrong because people should not be
rewarded being a CRIMINAL.

so you are a aethist. How much faith will you have in materialism when
you are on your death bed.
