bearable




sitting: just going on the same  rails   to nowhere forever is not useful imo  : o )




since


infinite


possibilities


can


occur


then


infinity


can


occur


it's


such

a


wonderful


marvellous


thing !




“and with this "lite" zazen schedule, most participants have absolutely zero chance of reaching full enlightenment...they'll reach only "lite" enlightenment at best...”


all


zen

is


based


on


the


fiction


of


dogen


getting


enlightened


during


zazen


in


song


dynasty


china


in


fact


he


didn't


get


“ enlightened ”


until


several


years

before


his


death


and


it


wasn't


through


zazen !


it


was


through


thinking !


as


for


buddha


he's


just


a


story !

for those who want to be enlightened it's this simple, i can tell you but you still won't get it and spend your lives in rubbishy denial !


why


is


it


so


hard


i


don't


know !


  reluctant to take on basic truths 


  being broken enables the light 


  zen constructs fake seeming 




criticism  of eckhart tolle


bet a million dollars he never replies !


Thursday 20 October 2011



to


see


infinity


you


have


to


be


in


love


with

everything


how


beautiful


and


cruel


that


is !

discussion
the truth
c'mon you wimps, too scared to post ? too scared to be yourselves fucking buddha cocksuckers i always had your number you pathetic drivel !
epitaph to the hardcore zen blog
explanation
i


don't


miss


those

thick


aggressive

morons


on

hardcore


zen


i'll


say


that !


can't


do


anything


about


me


here


can


you


: o ~


just


ignore


me


and


go


on


digging


your


latrines !



your


view


is


that


a

vision


occurs


in


existance


but


existance


occurs


in

a


vision !


Sunday 16 October 2011



you


have


to


squeeze


something


to


see


it !


it's


not


quite


true


you

have


to


put


it


out


of


shape


to


see


it


but


you


see


it


truely !


if


you


squeeze


zen


what


do


you


see?


flakes


cowards


and


shitholes !




can't


handle


me


can


you


brad


what


r


u


doing


with


your


life ?


playing

a

game

on


zen ?



basically brad warner has been deregistered as a zen teacher because he's too stuck in voynich and pierre tesuten has been registered cause of a real poetic talent which makes the registration list: bowman, rizzetto and tesuten


all other zen teachers are deregistered and can engage with me on the blog comments if they wish to be registered


i

bet


not


one


of


these


deregistered


teachers


has


the


guts


to


front


up


here


up


thems


selves


wankers !



brad


warner


it's


interesting


what


upsets


you


you


are


pissing


your


life


away


on


something


futile


and


meaningless


teaching


voynich


to


nutters !


you


are


degregistered

a

s


a zen


teacher !


the


seventh


patriarch !




the stupids posting stupidly endlessly how's that for in a aline zen teachers and students mutual suckers in a sucker's kingdom!






the


southern


cross


on


a


white


blue


sky


of


a

rainy


dusk


gusty


cold


wind


from


the


south


zen


and


sitting


are


senseless !


Friday 14 October 2011



i


wonder


if


i


could


have


"7th


patriarch"


put


on


my


tombstone?


“ you


won't


have

a


tombstone ! ”



all


sitting

is


about


is


solitude


sitting


is


something


that


arose

a

s


a


cheap


way


of


keeping


monks


occupied


and


in


their


place !

Thursday 13 October 2011


it's


not


that


zen


teachers


are

obscure


but


they


have


learnt


the


art


of


what

i

call


voynichese


that


is


they


have


learnt


the

art


of


rattling


off


bullshit


as


though

it

means


something !


Wednesday 12 October 2011


in


three


hundred


years


people


will


be


claiming


lineage

from


the


7th

patriarch


it


has


come


right


with


me


and


will


go


wrong


again !

“those who greatly realize delusion are buddhas. those who are greatly deluded about realization are ordinary beings.”


the above is a bit of a crappy translation of dogen, my rectification is below !



to


be



a

buddha


is


to


understand


yourself

as



a process


of


mistakes


to


not


understand


yourself

as


a


process

of

mistakes


is


just


the


usual


human !


Monday 10 October 2011


zen


is


not


meant


to


be


hidden


the


way


it


is !

zen teachers not deregistered


you'd think it would be simple but like everything else shades of grey rule !


registration is not the same as approval, i just think there's something to them and they are not the usual toxic blight that zen teachers are !


george bowman i like and think sorta on target, he would be better known except for his health dragging him back, thyroid issues ?


i also think diane rizzetto is helped in a real way by her work with developmentally disordered children and tho i don't know her, it seems she is worthy of being registered


there diane, what you haven't asked for but deserve !


she's dead now of course but i always though joko beck was an interesting on and off track, she was wrong about not reading and doing sitting tho, she did get the fundamental insight but was on the wrong road and kept to it !


toni packer who i approve is not a zen teacher so doesn't come under this ruling, one of her "dharma heirs" is also ok i think !


pierre tesuten has some sort of real poetic streak and is not deregistered ! anyone interested in this approval/transmission question, if it's given by humans and not infinity the bar is pretty low so to speak, most people could jump over the level i set if they are at all real which unfortunately is not the case at all !


so that's bowman, rizzetto and tesuten not deregistered, the rest are and if they want to contend they have to engage in some dialogue with me !


Andrew Levin  7th patriarch

spiritus  sanctus,  i have to be fair !


Sunday 9 October 2011


me being mean to hildegard of bingen ! lol

this is a bit long so will post a link to my web page with it on, might do more of that in future !

hairspray jesus

appeal process against disestablishment !

any zen “teacher” claiming lineage descent or even claiming any right to teach at all can appeal against disestablishment by a bit of dialogue on this board, it will  soon   sort out !


for all the bullshit about dharma combat and the freeness of the old masters in different situations i can guarantee that not one has the courage to poke their nose onto the comments section of this board !


brad warner has, i am afraid, led the way, denial, censorship and suppression !



if


you


don't


get


the


drift


they

are


almost


all


purblind


fools


pretending


to


an


understanding


they


don't


have


and


certainly


don't


live


which


is


actually


proved


by


their


lack


of


participation


on


this


blog !

if


you


deny


me


as


the


seventh


patriarch


you


deny


infinity !


i


disestablish


every


zen


teacher


today


claiming


lineage


for

a


start !

there


is


no


method


to


shikantaza


it


is


neither


method


or


methodless !

i


think


brad

warner


is


censoring


me


being


the


7th


patriarch !


which


is


ignorant


as


i


am


the


only


approved


zen


“master”


alive


today


i'll


put


this


post


on


his


board


and


see


if


he


passes


it


or


not !


your


last


chance


brad !

shikantaza


has


no


reference


point


not


even


in


terms


of


an


adequate


description !

ok brad warner is DEREGISTERED from patriarch zen !


it's funny what it takes to upset me, he removed the post further below from his blog


that is, he's got some limitations and  i DON'T APPROVE HIM !


he's uncomfortable with my presence on his blog anyway, but i'm not posting there anymore, too painful to see really good posts of mine removed cause he's just the typical zen master wanker in the final analysis, when it comes ot the crunch they way they behaves sucks !


the


post he removed is


“last thought. i don't get why some of you think steve jobs is any less of a buddhist than you are just because he is a successful businessman. it could be he is a successful businessman because he is more of a buddhist than you are.”


zen is

not actually about buddhism or being buddhist !


at


least


in


terms


of


the


patriarchs !


yeah


i


know


if


you


have


money


people


worship


you !

what


we


call


the


present


and


moment


is


itself


memory !

michel


proulx


i


hope


there's


more


to


your


life


than


zen


robes


and

a

lot


of


denial !


consider


yourself


upbraided


by


the


7th


patriarch !

i


am


endless


and


inexhaustible


and


go


on


forever . . . .


:


o


)

i


quite


like


kobun

otogawa


anyone


who


can


drown


trying


to


save


his


daughter


called


maya


and


have


her


drown

a

s

well


is

ok


in


my


book


:


o


)


makes


much


more


of


a


“ splash ”


than


the


usual


decrepit


zen


leaving


anyway !

kobun otogawa


“you can speak of self as no-self upon the absolute. only real existence is absolute”


the


world


is


full


of


voynich


:


o


(

the glamorization of steve jobs is zen shooting itself in the foot again !


he's


a


successful


interesting


and


innovative


busnessman


but


he


also


got


arsenic


inducted


pancreatic


cancer


from


eating


too


many


shrimps


: o )


just


goes


to


show


the


buddha


of


too


much


in


one


direction


and


not


enough


in


another


is


everywhere !

last


night


i


sat


down


on


some


rushes


by


the


stream


listening


to


the


tinkle


of


water !


:


o


)


that


is


“ right


sitting ”


why


be


crippled ?

meditation


recollecting


yourself


a


bit


or


a


lot !

it's


the

nature


of


a

vision


that


you


do


not


get


too

fixed


in


historical


reality !

cause i'm the 7th patriarch where i am zen is so i don't need you lot neither do i have to do anything

Thursday 6 October 2011

a


real


vision


is


definitely


an


altered


state


of


conciousness


it's


quite


short


somewhat


dreamlike


and


has


a

very


heavy


semantic


content !


it's


that


semantic


synchronicity


with

infinity


that


is


really


important


and


can't


be


duplicated


or


faked !


it's


not


something


constructed


when


it


happens


you


will


know


and


be


very


surprised !

on being the 7th zen patriarch



“Tell us about your vision when you became the 7th Zen Patriarch.”



good question, i have thought about what i am going to say and really it's one of those things, you won't understand until you have had a real vision so i am not going to talk about it


you also need to understand what a vision is which is a direct communication by infinity or buddha to you so it's an exceptional event to exceptional people, i.e. those few who can see and accept their own crucifixion for infinity  : o )


it


happened


in


1990


and has


taken


21


years


to


make


sense

of


it !

Wednesday 5 October 2011

being


the


seventh


patriarch


i


get



certain


privileges


in


heaven


though


i


draw


the


line


at


drinking


with


monkey !

zen


has


got


right


off


track


visions

are


extremely


important


i


don't


mean


hallucinations


or


substance


induced


i


mean


john


of


the


cross


stuff !

"orange blob andrew, why do you care sooo little about us as to hurt our eyes and brains with those endless one word/line posts?"


but


that's


zen


you


are


going


to


get


your


eyes


and


brains


hurt


or


more


truely


just


see


the


hurt


already there tho some extra hurt and a capacity to tolerate it is necessary


if


that


wasn't


the


case



everyone


would


be


enlightened !


i'm


not


the


seventh


patriarch


for


nothing


you


know !


maybe


it


is

for


nothing


: o )


(ed. note, i think i am going to duplicate this on the 7th zen patriarch blog to transit off the hardcore zen comments blog, let anonymous be king in brads realm !)

why i am the seventh zen patriarch

i had a vision in which the sixth patriarch authorised me to teach !


so i'm the seventh patriarch


i


really


am


wish


he


hadn't


done


that


btw


caught


me


unawares !


i


actually


have


come


across


one

other


instance


of


where


this


happened


in


zen


historically
