 Buddha

Who is Buddha and what he is not?

Who is Buddha and what he is not? 

 

It is very difficult to answer this question either in positive or negative sense.

    BUT;   

 

I will start with the negatives.

    1. He was not a philosopher and Buddhism is not a philosophy.

    2. He was not a scientific scholar.
    The science and technology were not his domain.    

 

In fact, it was a bane by his subtle insinuations of scientific goals which are by nature local or global in nature and not absolutes truths. 

 

In fact, rational investigating mind is a hindrance to mental awakening, which he prescribed for understanding of the uncertainty or the unsatisfactoriness of the greed, ignorance and selfishness within every human being. 

 

What it means is basic understanding of nature is OK but looking for absolutes is a vain exercise of no use except of temporary benefit.

    3. He did not proclaim a rigid dogma of God and a Creator of the Universe.

    He was part of the cosmos and all living beings are part of this cosmos and not outside (this cosmos). 

 

Simply put God is outside of this cosmos and the God is not part of it (in literal sense, he cannot exist on his or her own domain apart from becoming part of the cosmos).

    The god is only a clumsy and flimsy human creation with no substance at all.

    Coming to positive side of  Buddha's Teaching he was one of us and was a perfect human being.

    1. He lived in the present moment (of mind and associated mental formations of infinite variegation) not in the past or in the future tense.

    No two human beings are alike and no two thought moments are alike.

    2. He was a born environmentalist and lived all his enlightened life (except the rainy season) under a tree and not away from the nature.

    3. He gave equal opportunity to all living beings and a wild cat living on another living being for survival was not an antithesis.

    In other words, wild cats were born of their own karmic exposition and escape from that  predicament is possible at the time of patisandhi citta or linking to  the next life.

    It is not eternal hell but escape is possible from animal kingdom to a better life BUT not being born again is his ONLY goal to eternity.

    It is not a Void but a Signless existence of equanimity.

    4. It is an individual responsibility of each and every individual to seek for his or her own salvation of the inescapable "human suffering and bonding". 

 

I have excluded some difficult areas of Pali rendering and unfortunately English is inadequate to explain the "Wisdom of Buddha" I have put the conceptual framework of Buddha's thinking would have been.

    By the way, I do not claim I understand all of them clearly.

    Do not hang on to Kalama Sutta and questioning the Kalama Sutta itself, is the entry point to Enlightenment.

Buddha was never a saviour of humanity but who showed the way of compassion, boundless kindness, sympathetic joy and above all equanimity.

In his world there is no ground for Killing and War whether due to ideology or religious sects or humiliation of a different faith or sector.

Religion by all means a Brain Virus.

 

Meditation Weaponized

 Meditation Weaponized

Please standby with me for a moment.

By default I am not  Google YouTube guy.

All my years I produced only one YouTube presentation as a part of a University Education Session.

I used that opportunity to make a YouTube on Linux.

This is long time ago when nobody talked about Linux. Since there were no page hits I removed it and archived it. 

It is gathering dust in Ceylon.

Then I used seriously academic writing in Google Blogs. 

The attempt is simple. 

It is bearing fruits.

Target is to make Linux penetrate 10% of PC market.

Yes I did a penetration study with a young guy and it was micerly low.

Sorry, I used even this space to target a few and get few people out of meditation practice or trap. 

I have done a relatively specific study on meditstion. There is already a book on Amazon and currently I am working on a book. Meditation Commercialized.

Unfortunately, two ofy classmates were trspef in the Weaponized Meditation.

One is already gone and other is undergoing a daily misery.

The book came to my mind because of the second guy. He has two doctors in his immediate family but they missed the bus.

I did not want to use the word Weaponized but I use that word to promote my book before publication.

Google algorithm is not logical but based on advertisment revenue. It is skewed or I called it screwed. Google algorithm died not following statisticsl conventions or log natural curve.

In other words it can be doctored to favour some and more of misinformation than reality.

Budhhist Meditation does not follow occultism.

It does not follow logic.

It follows reality or Dhamma compensation.

It gets to the bottom but Hindu occultism to the top. I will leave with one statement. Lot of Kundalini oculists have ended up in tragedy whereas Buddhist Meditation warns of the trapping within even Jhana.

I have used the chapters in my book.

1.One is Dr. Greer.

2. Other is Ajan Brakmabanso who talks about Jhana within Jhana.

3. Third guy I cannot remember and he he had dropped out of the Google algorithm.

After scanning over 300 YouTube presentations on Medication and I found it was a direct advertising for homosexuals and divorce agencies.

This guy has gone into oblivion.

I presume he is gone totally mad or end his life prematurely

That is the end result of weaponizing Meditation.

I use Indika Totawatta as a role model of the misguided Mahayana Tradition who want to become PaseBuddhas which is futile. Instead of the third guy I would use Indika Totawatta and his YouTube algorithm that is going down drastically after some comments made in the web space.

Manio syndrome and pseudo astrological prediction fall into another category. Unfortunately, in CEYLON this category is growing after Anura came into power. When the economy is sinking these manios or maniacs have a free for all gaming chance.

My prescription is Metta Meditation.

 

The next Buddha is Maithree and it is timely appropriate.

It is simple, become a vegetarian to begin with.

 

That stops killing by Muslims and Israelis except pigs.

Israelis of course kill Muslims with the help of Americans.

I must say, some Buddhist monks also can get weaponized through, YouTube.

Bona fide of YouTube is advertisement and propagation of hate 

Hate is infectious but Metta is rare to manifest in the Web except the Business Enterprise of Meditation .

I tend to end up with a slant to rebirth manifestation.

What follows below is for guys who has the urge to go to the jungle cave for meditation.

I say for Metta mediation one does not need a cave or jungle.

Any place where there are dogs one can begin Metta meditation.

Just dish out some bread crumbs to begin with.

 

My belief of those guys who want to pursue a jungle track or cave were guys who had been trying to meditate in their pass life but failed miserably due hard living condition there. In their dying bed (patisandi citta) they remember flashes of their failure and they want go back that state.

It is natural tendency.

However, there is a caveat here, one is rarely born again as  a human but in a lower animal kingdom or higher Deva realms.

These meditation guy with a stroke of luck come back to human life and from childhood shows the tendency to go back to tier failed state.

In psychology this is called rumination. 

My suggestion is stop ruminating but try Metta mediation to come back to real life and reflect.  

It is soothing to begin with once sleeps well without dreams.

Facebook Weaponized

Facebook Weaponized
 

How to Delete your Facebook Account?

After lot of trial an error, I managed to delete my Facebook account.

However,  I have to wait for another 14 days to take that into effect.

If you are old and visually handicapped, I tell you that you will not be able to do that.

They have made it awfully difficult and if you are old you must do that two weeks before your death.

In the first instance,  I could not find the logout menu.
After I posted a blog report on Facebook, it appeared faintly.

One reason (out of many) for my decision is that they are sharing my information with people I wish not to be associated with.

Why I hate Face-Book?
Why I hate Face-Book?
About three years ago unwittingly,  I joined the Facebook and there is noway I could opt out.
 

I am one who spent lot of time on the Web promoting Linux, Cloud Computing and Blogging for fun.

I have many connections including Dropbox, JoliOs-JoliDrive, Ubuntu One and WordPress in addition to Google.
 

None of the above providers insist that I use them obsessively and neurotically.
In fact, I have not used Dropbox for a long time and my password had expired but they did not remind me of that fact.
Just as good to illustrate the difference between a service of a professional cloud server (Dropbox) and a social media (Facebook) with very little relevance to my day to day work.

To illustrate the point I get an invitation from some unknown baby (under two years) Deelip Kalum to join his page (these parents do not understand the principle of privacy and little child’s rights).
 

I stopped them by writing a stinker bud did the same to two of my friends to get the message across to all and sundry.
 
The Message went like this,
 

I rarely use Facebook.

Fortunately, I have given very little information about me on the page.

In fact, I hate it since I cannot opt out or log out.

It is like the a “Pissige Pala Malla”-literally means the “mad woman’s belongings"-life jacket of survival of the illiterate- and I just keep it running by default for my friends to realize that I do exist in the sea of Junk world.

After hour an half of searching I could not sign off or opt out.
 

I am really hooked to my grave with Facebook.
 

Will you be sending some “Flowers or Wreath"?
 

Thanks a lot social media.
 

What are going to do when I am dead?

Will you be willing to join me in Hell ( Apaya).
At the moment I am in connection with the Apaya Computer Administrator to sort this out before my departure..

His administration of my Facebook from Hell will be Handy with Gory Pictures, from Hell.

Please note that individuals are not allowed to communicate in Apaya by email.

 
I have already figured out a way to deal with my email (dead email) after my death but not FACEBOOK.

Why it is so painful to cancel an account in a Social Media

This time Hi5
Why it is so painful to cancel an account in a Social Media

This time Hi5
 
I still wonder why social media are behaving like leeches.
They are hell bent on increasing their share in the open but dirty market

1. They start by offering you a free account.
That is the final bait.
In this consumerist world who will offer a free lunch?

2. Then they get every bit of your personnel data which even (probably) government agencies are not interested in.
 

The governments want to know you are security risk and or a xenophobic.
If you are an average criminal, they are not worried about.
It is a civil matter.
They only want big fish.
In this country of ours, some government agencies actually promote average tricksters and they take them into their fold, get the dirty work done and dispose them unceremoniously like a pulp when it is a liability (we have a police ex-chief and a Sanganayaka involved in plundering archaeological artifacts) to the beholders.
 

Guys / Girls include those who steal our ballot paper for election rigging.
Some of them steal even the vote of old people in "Incarcerated Homes''
 
They (the criminals) are a wanted commodity come elections.

3. These social media know that the governments steal their data whenever and wherever possible.
Earlier it was done at the airport.
Now they scan you in your kitchen doing daily chores.
They do not have to be on the beat but remain in air conditioned cubicles.
 
What a luxury?

4. This government paranoia for no reason to remain in absolute power has now infiltrated the social media.
They fear a bubble like in the credit crunch.
They fear the  credit crisis.
 
Their profit margin that come free due to technology and that infiltrates into every nook and corner (luckily we have only 10% Internet penetration in spite of the massive drive) one does not have to sweat for one's tasks.
 
These guys also live in air-conditioned living rooms and sit in front of the computer and do not have to travel like the ordinary guys and girls who toil, every day of the week.
 
They have cushy IT jobs.
The network of computers and various search engines do the talk.
They talk tall!

5. Invariably they become the worst pests of this century and of any country
So they fear when a old guy like me want to opt out of their site for an ornamental coffin for the eternal peace six feet under.
 
They make de-registration, the most difficult job on this planet.
Why?
I do not know.
As a doctor, I can say it is an early sign of serious pathological entity not yet defined by the medical fraternity.
I coin the word digital Mafia that metamorphoses to Digital Morphea
 
Getting out of Hi5 was as difficult as with Facebook.

The details are hidden in the Full Site out of reach of the folks.
 
You have to contact them by email and tag with another entity and a token obtained for one to see the Full Site.
Even after getting there they will ask you various (FUD, Fear Uncertainty, and Doubt) silly questions.

Now they try to keep the data in their server and promote a reactivation scheme.
 
I don't think I can reactivate it from my coffin unless, I take a Tablet with Wireless connection to my final resting (rights) site, the TOMB.
 
Rest in Piece Social Media.

I have raised this many moons ago.
 

What happen to my emails when I am DEAD and Disposed?

What happen to it when I am disposed or dispossessed?

Have I got to declare a Dying Dispossession?
 
In spite the technology they are unable to device a full proof method.
 

That is the case in point.
 
I tell old people please do not use Internet.
 
Visit your friends in person and enjoy a cup of Tea/Coffee or a pint of Larger.

That is more user friendly than social media.

Real people (not digital) need personnel touch.

I now practice digital zeroing when I am on holidays.

I really enjoy my privacy and holiday but enjoy every bit of flavor of food and drinks, I used to enjoy as a young guy (but going up in price for an average citizen).
I practice bit of Moment Meditation, too.
Life is to live.
Not to sit in front of an idiot box.
Creativity comes naturally, then.
See you next time.
I am trying to devise a method to opt out not log out.
Hope, I will have a Brain Wave when on digital holiday.
