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 !

those

suicide

girls

are

a

mental

hook

to

you

brad

warner !

crippling

really !

zen

buddha

god

jesus

infinity

all

higg's

bosons

; o )

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 

a  criticism  of eckhart tolle

bet a million dollars he never replies !

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 !

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 !

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 !

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 !

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 !

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 !

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

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

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

:

(

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

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 !

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
