Meditation Weaponized

Metta Meditation 

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 miserly 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 meditation. 

 

There is already a book on Amazon and currently I am working on a book. Meditation Commercialized.

 

Unfortunately, two of classmates were trapped 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 advertisement revenue. 

 

It is skewed or I called it is screwed. 

 

Google algorithm does not follow statistical conventions or log natural curve.

 

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

 

Buddhist Meditation does not follow occultism.

 

It does not follow logic.

 

It follows reality or Dhamma dispensation.

 

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 two names in my book.

1.One is Dr. Greer.

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

3. Third guy (he is Darrel Anka) 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 wants 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 he 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 a 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 to 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 guys with a stroke of luck come back to human life and from childhood shows the tendency to go back to their 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.

 

Ranil Wickramasinghe-American stooge who wants to Destory Free Eduction in Ceylon

 My single grouse with this Ranil is that he destroyed the career of Professor Ranjith Mendis.

I used to call Professor Menidis a man with a Golden Heart. 

Ranil is man with a wooden heart (using iron is and insult to the ubiquitous metal but only Mrs. Margret Thatcher was called a women with an iron heart. Moment she became the P.M. I left England vowing never to return to UK).

I was lucky to join the university under Professor Ranjith Mendis and twisted him arm to introduce Quality Teaching in Peradeniya.

 

We established a Quality Forum, it went into defunct state within three months of Rail becoming PM under Chandrika (2003 or 2005).

 

Now my grouse with the Ranil Wicramasinghe who like JRJ wants to destroy the universities (not only Pali and language departments, which JRJ initiated) is that he replaced Professor Ranjith and also the university reforms envisaged -long term- by the team of University Dons.

 

He put a stooge with no knowledge in Quality and University Education as the UGC Chairman and his selection of Ministers of Education is arbitrary.

Good guys are leaving and bad guys are coming to roost.

By the way I visited the private hospital years later for courtesy call and sadly quality had a nose dip with an Indian guy running the place.

 

Who wants to Destroy Free Education and Buddhism in Ceylon  

None other than Ranil Wickramasinghe

 

I must remind that the current Prime Minister is an extension of Ranil's Project.

But her major project is to REMOVE the Special Provision for Buddhism from the Constitution. 

 

She is the biggest danger but she must be having many other hidden projects.

 

They have 2/3rd majority

 

That is why I say our citizen's are absolutely STUPID and MAD.

Beware.

Ranil is anti- youth anti-university guy from Batalanda Wadakagaraya.

 

He was used by JRJ as an agent.

In other words he is a C.I.A Agent.

He was sent home for good and he should never be allowed to come back to power, by indirect means.

I have no problem with him flashing  his U.N.P mantle without a politically clout.

He destroyed Professor Ranjith Mendis's University Career. 

 

That is my single grouse with him.

 

He was then, the U.G.C. chairman, unceremoniously removed. 

 

I remained in the University to scuttle all his subsequent attempts.

He has left a big TRAP for current president AKD. 

 

His shuttling up and down the Palk Straight is ominous.

 

He is a snake under the carpet.

Out of power he is more venomous.

He has no SHAME, too.

BEWARE!

Wisdom vs Meditation vs Linux Code

Wisdom vs Meditation vs Linux Code 

I am not a Meditator.

In fact, I avoid it by default.

Meditation is only an entry point to Wisdom.

I was one who wasted my time on Knowledge.

Knowledge exposed in physics is only 15%. 

One cannot gather that information of physics by meditation. 

Mathematics may help to a certain point but quantum physics is beyond mathematics.

It needs different jargon.

65% of the rest is dark matter and dark energy. 

20% is unknown and that unknown part is glimpsed only by Buddhas. That knowledge is not relevant to the Path ENTRY and was never discussed by Buddhas.

In biology 40% is unknown.

30% is hereditary.

30% is induced or environmental factors.

Pattern is similar but percentages are different.

20% to 30% that is glimpsed by Buddhas is called the Wisdom ENTRY which we are unable to grasp.

What we can grasp include:

Kamma Niyama.

Dhamna Niyams.

Utu Niyama

Bija Niyama

Those four principles drive the pattern of Rebirth. 

Rebirth is wrapped in "Uncertainty Principle". 

One cannot determine what is going to be the next birth.

Glimpse of it or "Gati Nimitta" is seen at the time of leaving the present birth.

That is the essence and there is no "Maha Brahma" who determines the fate of living beings.

This process is automatic and determined by the "Mind Principle" which I have not fathomed. 

The meditators including Darrel Anka are ones who make a mess out of this whole Mind Principle SAGA.

Those who try to becomes Sages other than Buddha are like blind leading the blind.

The beginning point is to see that our eyes have a very narrow spectrum but our mind has a wide spectrum.

Dhamma is the part that evade us.

Uncertainty Principle propels it.

Dukka in my understanding is a wrong connotation of Buddha's Teaching, most likely brought in by Indian Niganntayans.

Unsatisfactoryness is a better term.

What is uncertain, including REBIRTH  by nature is unsatisfactory. 

It is only a label but not a sign of wisdom but in essence an academic entity.

PATH and path ENTRY is the Way of Dhamma. 

Only the wise enter the path. 

Ones who has entered the path never declares that fact but look forward to the next entry point. Moment one enters the path one tends to become non delusional.

Delusion is a major hindrance to path ENTRY.

Moment, one realizes the Teacher or the Master is in "Delusional State" just quit the guy or girl and become FREE again.

Darrel Anka by nature is a nice guy with a better vocabulary than me. I like him but never follow him or understand what he is trying to say.

I take him as a model for point of reflection.

I am a guy with sound understanding of principles, not formula, of physics and the Universe is only a mystery to me. Understanding it does not make me smarter but a guy wrapped in mystery solving until another guy disproves me with another theory or thesis to be disproved by yet another guy. 

That is why science progress albeit at a slower pace but Linux is taking Giant Strides since the CODE is open to scrutiny and enhancements.

By conviction, I am out of CODING knowing very well that Linus Torvalds is doing a good job.

 

I am already taking Forky or the Debian TESTING as my daily driver. 

I am in holiday mode and the NUC is switched off, so that "Jail Breakers" cannot have a FREE ENTRY.

Pali as a Language

Pali as a Language

Professor A. D. P. Kalansuriya

This piece is dedication to Professor A. D. P. Kalansuriya who introduced me to "Language Games" long after I matured into C and dropped it at C++ PLUS.

Even, in Computer CODE, if one adds more and more Commands Modules, one is left with an endless loop with no Work Output. 

Google's Visual Code suffer the same fate. 

PYTHON or the Anaconda which I was never interested in has long twists of CODE is only GOOD for automation since, if one loop fails another loop tightly binds the PREY for later consummation loop or rather maintaining the automatic loop.

I am not sure how AI would solve this problem of many computers languages.

Would it build another language of it own?

Pali
Pali as a language has failed to Express Dhamma in a pristine form. 
This is what as an astute philosopher Professor A. D. P. Kalansuriya tried to do without opening a can of worms in his time, among the so called Buddhist monks who are entangled in a mess of Pali words.

My conviction of Pali is bit beyond the attempt of the professor. 
I want it to get rid of the jargon.

This is the very reason I did not want to be named a professor in my retirement (partly technical and partly I did not want to be tagged to University of Peradeniya, in my retirement to avoid visiting their Conventions by invitation. 
Now our ulma mater is devastated, one is not sure, when the next convention is going to be held).

With a post of professor one is bound by conventions if not convictions.

I want to be free of conventions. 

Free of convictions I can now state or lash out;

1. Pali is not the language of Buddha.
 
2. Pali is an adopted or "cooked up" language by Indians to distort Dhamma or the very Teachings of Buddha.

3. I was made to believe that to understand Dhamma one has to know Pali. 
I tried.
I collected (they are collecting dust in CEYLON ), all the dictionaries and glossaries, thinking Dhamma is an academic exercise.

I am proven WRONG.

4. If I did not meet Professior A. D. P. Kalansuriya, I would have been trapped or entangled.

5. The word entanglement is colossal.
It even embraces the meaning of python in computer coding. 

6. Dhamma is for unentanglement.

7. Pali is for entanglement and the moment I realized this, I dropped Pali knowing Buddha  only spoke in simppe language.

8. If Buddha was not born in CEYLON, he certainly embraced the original Sinhala language which Jayarathne Pathiraarchchi tries to bring out in style.

9. Buddhagosha and Mahanama were vested by Indian kings to destroy Sinhala language. 

By doing so destroy Dhamma.

10. Why did they translate Dhamma into Pali?

11. Why did they burn the original Sinhala Texts?

12. What happened at Abayagiri?

13. Pali is a creation by Indian Pandits to distort Dhamma.

Dhamma does not give "two hoots" to God or Maha Brahma.

14. Idea was to propagate gods of many kinds with that  also the castes of many kinds.

15. If Pali is not a creation, why there is no place on this Planet people speaking Pali?

16. Sinhala, letters originated first.

They are still present in CEYLON as Stone Edits or SelLipi.

17. Anura and Niragamikayan are trying to perpetuate this Indian mythology on present "Helayans" who are only a few that are left in this country.

18. We have to destroy this Indian propaganda.
Ranil Wickrasinghe and Milinda Moragoda have taken this contract.

19. Our history has to be rewritten.
Now is the time.
Help Jayarathna Pathiraarchchi.

When good things come out or try to resurface Marayan wakes up.

Marayans = Indians 

That is the simple equation.

20. Current natural catastrophe washed away all the hopes of Indians, Nigantayans and Niragamikayans.

21. Thanks to European guys who recorded our Stone Edits.

22. Down with Paranavithana C. B. E who was an agent of the Church of England who distorted our history.

23. Down with Raj Soma Deva who is an agent of L. T. T. E.

Triad of Anura, Soma Deva and Rump L. T. T. E. are the bane of this country, called Ceylon.

Unholy Trinity.

All originated from Vidyodaya University background to ascend to some  questionable CREDIBILITY.

It seems as all the Archaeologists are Bone Liars except only a few.

Wake up.

Jayaratne Pathiraarchchi is shaking up the foundation of credibility.

Lies cannot last long or have long legs.

They get invariably exposed.

Small steps are necessary.

Now is the time.

Big Linux from Brazil

I recommend Big Linux with cautious optimism, since I got it to behave the way, I wanted it to be.

It is not going to be my Daily Driver.

It is bit confusing.

The Desktop is neither GNOME nor KDE but total mixture.

By strange coincidence, I got Gnome and Plama both booting perfectly OK.

Its behavior is similar to REBORN OS but somewhat confusing.

Desktop manager is SSDM of KDE.

I am going to use it until it crashes.

Getting GNOME is the plus point uptil now.

This distribution comes from Brazil.

When I tried last time, I could not figure out how to install and gave up.

What attracted me was the different Desktop appearance from classic to vanilla to modern.

It has produced a new ISO Image for the New Year 2026.

This is the first distribution I am testing for this year.

I am impressed.

The Calamares Installer had made it easier for various distributions to work on their distributions without worrying about the installation antics.

In fact, I tried Ubuntu Studio and the UBUNTU installer took almost 8 hours and could not install it. To recover the Partition Table, I had to install REBORN OS.

I have BlueStar Linux and the rest 3 distribution were all Debian GNOME.

I am using one of the instances of GNOME installed to install Big Linux.

I have to wright something good about Big Linux in my book.

Not having tested on a Virtual Machine but after real installation.

By the way, Box Utility did not mount it.

I did not persevere, since I am going to install it any way.

Hope it would not destroy my GRUB.

It is finishing its installation.

I want to see what applications, it supports.

It looks like it is a KDE Desktop which I HATE.

Booting was verbose but I could not read them.

Desktop looks like Plasma Wayland.

No additional desktops.

Only one file to UPDATE.

Instead of Discover Add and Remove utility is there.

It works and I Remove the KWalletManger I hate.

I would try GNOME desktop which is finicky on top of KDE.

Thankfully, Desktop is GNOME and I am going to add Plasma now.

Box Utility to begin with.

It looks like it is KDE desktop with lot of GNOME utilities.

It is a good effort and I am going to promote it.

But let me install real Plasma Desktop to begin with.

It is based on MANJARO Linux and is pretty good.

බුදුන්, ජේසුස් සහ අල්ලා

මෙය අවුරුදු 2500 කට පෙර වූ සිද්දියක් 

ජේසුස් වහන්සේ සුරුට්ටුවක් දල්වාගෙන එල්ලෙන්න (රනිල් ගෙ එක නෙවෙයි) පාලමකින් එගොඩ වන්න ආවා.

Installing UBUNTU Studio - 25.1

I was not happy with ARCH based Ultimate Linux and decided to go for UBUNTU Studio.

It is comprehensive.

I found it accidentally in the bottom of the www.distrowatch.com.

I think it deserves to be higher up.

It has all the Audio and Videobpackges in one place, some of which I have never heard of.

As usual, my advice is to install offline.

But connect it to the Internet for after install UPDATES.

It is very SLOW in progress from one Step to the Next Step which is ideal for a newbie.

No different to other distributions it took a hell of a long time to read my Partition Table.

It is still probing and I did not bother to note the time but it was before midday.

Ubiquity in progress but not in panic mode. 

Still at partition 12 of 29 partitions and time for me a cuppa.

I skip lunch but stll does not need Liquorice for healing peptic ulcers.

In retirement panic modes comes rarely especially instsllinng UBUNTU.

If calls Happy Path when mounting a disk partition. Thank YOU-UBUNTU.

It took 35 minutes to probe my disk but still not installing.

It is in false mode not in true mode.

50 minutes gone still in false mode.

It is no surprise I left UBUNTU 30 years ago.

But I will keep it until I get ged up with Linux Media profiles.

I get feeling it would go on with endless loops without doing the installation.

After 55 minutes gave curtin command install.

Thank YOU-UBUNTU.

One got to be very patient in Linux.

It is KDE desktop that adds to the slowness.

LibreOffice 25.2 and not the LibreOffice Fresh.

Firefox does not go to its home site and no canvasing or asking for money.

Plus point is unlike the current UBUNTU which does not support Synaptic Package Manager, it supports it.

Not short of additional packages.

It does not need any.

UBUNTU installer is pain with or without online support.

It took 21 minutes to write the compressed image to the USB.

Uncompressing and installation taking 50 minutes is realistic.

But I like the MANJARO method, just install the desktop without applications in 15 minuts and add additional applications of choice after initial install and configuration.

No wonder I am hooked to ARCH Linux specially REBORN OS.

Reborn OS unlike MANJARO, UPDATE the system in live instalation. No UPDATES necessary after first install.

Picking a distribution is YOUR Choice.

Two (2) solid hours of installation and still not finished.

Took a long time to configure LibreOffice localization.

It has security checks but failed to upgrade even simple applications.

UBUNTU Studio confirms that KDE Desktop is a PAIN.

GO GNOME is my GOAL.

I want to see how GRUB perfoms.

Updates went on four over 10 hoirs and I had a long nap.

GRUB was OK and I am again booting to Ubuntu Studio.

It is OK and no UPDATES.

Patience counts in Linice and it is not optimally configured and rebooting again.

It is now on sddm and  yrying systmD and SystemV.

It is totally corrupt.

I have to ERASE it.

My Audio/Video configuration is a failure.

It is prudent to select one application after one as in Debian GNOME.

Bye Bye, UBUNTU.  

Accurate Archaeological Records

Gotama Samana has created a cave and donated it to all the Samanas that come all directions.

This is an error kids in the kindergarten make.

However, our eminent archaeologists of the West and CEYLON do similar mistakes when reading Stone Edits consistently.

1 Mueller

2. Parker 

3. Bell 

4. Paranavithana 

5. Ellawela Medhananda 

Correction made by Jayaratne Pathiraarachchi

BaXxx or So and So, created a lens or cave and donated it to Gotama Ssmana and all the Samanas that come from all directions.

Result 

He was impridoned at Angods Mental Hospital by?? Hagoda Vipassi or Hantana?? 

Outcome 

He is now exposing all the monks with corrupt dispensation.

Monks have disturbed a Buddhist hornet nest. 

Unradical Dons in Our Time

This is one of the many incidents and I had to pay dearly.

I was a Third Year Medical Student.

This was the time we even had industrial action, even if a single human hair was in our String Hopper Evening Meal. 

We could finish 30 string hoppers effortlessly.

This day was ordinary.

I had come after a game of Hockey and had a bath and I was having a quiet time in my adopted room in Jayathilake Halls of Residence. My regular Halls of Residence was Arunachalem which I really like. Right in front of the Univerity Grounds where we had a major tussle with our Army and also P. M. Dudley Senanayake. 

Yes, P. M could come and address the students, those days.

I heard a commotion and came up to the balcony and I was watching from above. 

I was not part to the incident but a passive watchman.

Closer look at the scene, I saw five of our dons having a heated argument with the students. They were numerically outnumbered.

We then had the Faculty Club, literally the University Bar with low priced alcohol.

These guys have had a round of drinks and were probably high in spirits. 

One of the insane guys, most likely Brian Seneviratna had had proposed, "Let Us  go and catch some senior guys ragging juniors" or something to that effect.

This was going on for long with no sight of ending, now growing into a tussle with almost the fists  landing on dons.

I thought this is a bad joke and entered the dons side and said to my seniors these are my teachers and they ought to be released. Then of course the sane seniors intervened and we went on our own ways.

It is was getting dark and the dons were drunk and they could not physically identify them to panish.

This Brian Seneviratna guy had called the our President of the Union to hold an emergency meeting.

In the meeting he demanded that I should give the names of the guys involved. 

I said NO WAY and I did not know most of them and had I known them, I would not volunteer. 

I thought the incided ended there but not really.

I had to sacrifice my Second Class in the Finals. I was confident I would at least get a second class. 

Now I think it was a blessing, I hated medicine and I would have become a hopeless clinician except perhaps in Neonatal Medicine.

One of my close relation was the Assitant Registrar and he told me I missed the second class by a wisker and that guy Brian Seneviratna stongly opposed me getting the class I deserved. Had I not reached that level this guy would have failed me in the Finals.

I confronted him and said he won't last long in the Facilty.

I reported  all the sodid things he did as a Seconded Officer from the Deparment of Health. 

He did not last long.

Bad Egg by all means.

I do not know what happened to him afterwards.

No interest at all to know and I vouched myself never to join the Faculty. 

Then again there was another Professor of Medicine who was distorting Buddhism and I confronted him and said teach Medicine not Buddhism. 

He did some below par work on Rebirth which is my current interest.

Fate was such, I ended up in Faculty of Dental Sciences and prerended to be more Dental than Medical but I have a bad set of teeth due to lot of Sugars as a kid. I love sugary stuff and thankfully I not a diebetic.

Then, of course, Professor B. R. N. Mendis hand picked me to lead the team of very efficient Dental dons to develop the Faculty of Dental Sciences from the ground up.

J. I. C. A lead Dr. Handa and Hagiwara were leading the team of Japanese experts and I was in charge of developing the Computer Network. We were short of money and Kandy Lions helped us. To save money I was involved in training a guy to manage or doing the wiring in house. It was a Samba Neteotk and those days PHP Admin was my interest. Not given up on Linux Just now trying to mount Gnome on KDE.

Failed.

GDM failed and trying SDDM.

Try to be Human

This sounds ridiculous statement but it is not.

Let me explain.

This is not the first time but I am rephrasing it, again with a few and new living examples.

 

We are 3 dimensional beings.

 

We not the most evolved beings but there are higher beings and lower animal beings.

There are humans who are like animals who are engaged in perennial wars.

Americans

Ukrainian proxy of Zekendkyy

Israelite

Muslim advocate all are in the animal realm.

Since nobody in the world saying it upright, I would say it and stop there.

Then there are guys like Elon Musk who is a very nice guy with lot of money and wanting to go to Mars. He is the classic example of guys who wants to enter the 4th dimension in theoretical sense (I have no objection) but haven't achieved it.

There is an inherent tendency for beings to become one step ahead which is not bad.

Like Sir Arthur C Clerk, who had the vision but did not live long enough to see the giant feats but predicted them in advance.

He ultimately ended up doing the search in "Ran Mutu Duwa", the treasures hidden deep  on the sea bed.

As a medical guy I was fascinated by the physiological effects on our body. We are one gravity people and cannot take 2 or 3 gravity strain without adequate adaptation.

This is true of the moon with low gravity without pressurized suits. 

I did a nice article as a medical student and published it on our Journal which was known for very good YARNS.

Medicine was boring for me and my satire trend developed in an early stage with those yarns. 

If not for them, I would have given up medicine for good.

 

I am doing this while installing CachyOS which could not read my long Partition Table.

 

So sorry for any incoherence.

This is the entry point for Rebirth Concept.

We all have the potential to remember past lives but our long incubation period to learn the language of this life start with erasing the past life so that we can get on with this life. 

I certainly do not want to no my immediate past life for good reason. But as a kid I felt some of my mathematical and talent in physics came from life before. 

I was certainly not a medical man before. 

If I was, I really hated that past medical career. 

I used to kick doctors in this life. 

It is strange I became a pathologist, after the fact guy.

Very easy and no stress at all.

Coming to  Rebirth, this part is about Jayarathna Pathiraarchchi. 

He is born with the talent with recollecting past lives. 

He has put that to good use by rediscovering ancient CEYLONESE dialect or Hela Basa.

That has put him loggerhead with the corrupt monks to the extent he has gone nutty in literal sense.

I want to get him out of this mess with monks as a doctor in the past and not as a psychologist.  

He should not be part of their sordid SAGA. 

Even Buddha could not stop division in his time.

Devadatta his cousin comes to my mind.

 

Anger is a all consuming and destructive whereas Metta is reinvigorating.

 

Do not be an angry man.

 

Be a happy man. 

 

He would have been a monk in past lives but in this life he is layman.

 

I am now coming to the crunch point.

 

Only a human can become a Buddha.

Try to be more human.

Do not sink to the animal life like American, Israelite or Muslims.

 

Be human and that was my entry point in this article.

 

Human life is rare to come.

 

Make good use of it by being human.

 

CachyOS is finishing.

British Distorted the History of Ceylon

British Distorted the History of Ceylon

Yes, British distorted our history, to their advantage.

They were here for over 150 years and that period was enough to plant a bogus history including Buddha was born in India.

 

What is more true is Indian invaders (I do not know whether Soli, Pandyan or Tamil but the last were the Tamils), tried to capture Ceylon for an extensive period of over 800 to 1200 years.

But they could not.

 

It was not continuous domination  but there were breaks in their domination and the chain of command.

 

Those breaks were never recorded by the Invaders.

 

There was a long period of famine going up to 11 years recorded in our history.

It is called Baminitiya Saya.

 

Baminitiya or Indian Abhayagiri Clan was born in this period.

 

All the local literature was torched. 

 

Fahian's famous "Alu Len" story has recorded these events of torching for posterity. 

What is the reason of buring if not to erase the existing history and plant a new one.

 

Like what British planted Abayagiri Clan planted another bogus history.

 

Mahanama and Buddhagosha did plant their own hearsay story.

Mahanama had to flee due to internal conflict before finishing his book. 

It is good literature book but not an 

accurate history. 

Gaps were filled with what we called YARNS during our campus days.

The YARNS in time become recorded history.

 

Mahayanaya writings cannot be taken as an accurate account by any means.

 

To me history is filled with bull shit most of the time. 

 

Thank god I was not a historian but I have the right to be critical of all writers present and past including Eisenstein.

Accordingly, my writings are open to criticism, at all times.

It is another RANT but it keeps me occupied in my retirement but those writings outlasts me. That is why I say everybody should write at least one book in their lifetime. The collection of those books become the Contemporary History.

 

One book does not become REAL History but only an approximation.

 

Internecine wars (prehistoric man) of Sura and Asura were perennial and there were at least 4 prehistoric Tribes (Yaksha, Deva, Naga and Manussa).

 

The Yaskha or the RAVANA were the predominant. They were the dominant but there would have been numerous minor regions (assuming Ceylon was a much bigger and part of it sank). With difficult terrain and no proper roads but only footpaths, breaking into minor regions was plausible and real.

 

Simple truth is that the imported Indian soldiers got integrated with the locals and they also become very corrupt with no control from Indian Kings, of India.

 

Then there were large scale burning of local literature belonging to the tradition of Buddhism and Buddha. 

 

If Buddha was born in Ceylon that 800 to 1200 year period was enough to plant a Hindu Culture here with Hindu Gods.

 

By the way, if one follows genetic analysis retrospectively, one ends up 3000 years back in China and there is no way to go back from that point to Africa in genetic pool. This falls into what is called general dispersion and no scientific trend afterward.

Using that analysis one cannot conclude that humans originated from the Chinese, however much, the Chinese would love to hear that bottleneck.

 

There are limitation to every type of analysis. 

 

Similarly we cannot say prehistoric man did not exist due to lack of bony evidence. Bone calcium also can become elements given time.

 

Uncertainty principle in action. 

 

What is amazing is Buddhism survived all these onslaughts and the cooked up story that Buddhism was  brought in here by Mahinda from India had to be planted here for the survival of the diminishing numbers of Indian Invaders.

 

This I call the ruling class. 

 

My stance here is defending Dhamma if not Buddhism. 

 

What Buddha taught had universal claim and is global. 

 

I won't call it an absolute truth but more realistic than any other religion on this planet. 

 

It is based on "Uncertainty Principle" .

 

There  is book coming by me soon by the name of  "Uncertainty Principle".

 

It  is somewhat similar to the Scientific Principle of Physics, the "Change of State" aptly demonstrated by the "Water Cycle".

 

My analogy, that the same rain drops that fall on my head in this moment would go and come back and fall on my head again is statistically improbable but plausible given that time is a linear concept but time in physics is again a concept and not a real entity which we can put in a Test Tube and analyze. 

Our Galaxy moves in a spiral fashion. 

To explain its behavior, two time dimensions, at least in 90 degree angle is necessary. One dimension expands and the other dimension contracts. 

Linear physics does not apply to that phenomenon. 

Besides, there is something called dark force and dark matter which is 95% of the total quantity which we cannot comprehend. My belief is that phenomenon determines the reality of the rest of the 5% of the physical matter we human inhabit. One cannot apply human mathematics to explain those incomprehensible phenomena. 

We live in 3 dimensions and we cannot comprehend 4th dimension and beyond.

I think this is why Buddha never ventured to explain life beyond (external phenomena) our own life. I now do not talk in terms of what I call the "New Physics". It is only a futile exercise and has no relevance to my own existence.

But I do entertain Linux in my own "Computer World" not Microsoft Windows.

 

The problem is,  that the average man cannot grasp the Reality of Uncertainty, and a permanent Soul is created after death. 

 

There is no permanent "Soul" in Buddhism but the Concept recurring Rebirth.

 

The Concept Rebirth is cardinal to the understanding of Dhamma and the Uncertainty Principle.

 

Energy cannot be destroyed and the  Mind Energy cannot be destroyed, but only the Greats like Buddhas and Arhants have achieved that state of "Unborn State".

I am not yet ready for that unborn state.

Let recurring born cycle takes me forward a better person in this life and the next life which we have no control at all.

It is similar to the natures anger that befall Mother Lanka, saying YOU are not in control but I am.

 

Aneka Jathi Sabsaram - Pean of Joy

Aneka Jathi Sabsaram 

Pean of Joy

 

Aloka Udapadi
 

Light that shines the World and beyond.

Viddya Udapadhi
 

Truth that penetrates all knowledge.

Panga Udapadhi
 

The transcending Wisdom of all.

Anekajati Samsaram Sandhavissam Annnibisam
Gahakarakam Gavesanto Dukkha Jati Punanppunam
Gahakaraka Ditto Si Puna Geham Na Kakahasi
Subbe Te Phasuka Bhagga Gahakutam Visankhitam
Visankaragatam Cittam Tanhanam Khayamajjhagaa

Through many a birth wondered I,
Seeking not finding, the builder of the house,
Sorrowful is repeated birth.

O' Householder, thou art is seen.
Thou shall built no house again.
All thy rafters are broken.
Thy ridge pole is shattered.
Mind attains the unconditioned.
Achieved is the end of craving.

At the dawn on the very day of enlightenment, the Buddha uttered this pean of joy or Udana which vividly describes his transcendental moral victory and his inner spiritual experience.

The Buddha admits his past wandering in existences which entailed suffering.

A fact, evidently proving the belief in Rebirth in Buddhism.

The fundamental ingrained in Dhamma are Kamma and Rebirth.

He was compelled to wander and consequently suffer as he could not discover the architect that builds the house, the Body and Mind.

In his final birth, while engaged in solitary meditation, he had highly developed in the course of his wandering in Samsara, after relentless  perseverance and search he discovered by his own intuitive Wisdom, the illusive architect, residing not outside but within the recess of his own Mind.

It was Craving or Attachment to the self created mental compendium of enormity.

This latent compendium of mental forms drives the Samsara.

How and when this Craving or Attachment originated is incomprehensible.

What is created by oneself can be destroyed by oneself only.

An external agency is not envisioned but by oneself alone one is created and one is also responsible for (his/her) one's own suffering or happiness.

(The word suffering include both Joy and Unhappiness but due to transitory nature of both feelings, it is wrapped as unhappy or suffering. This word should not be used to belittle and  downgrade absolute Dhamma meaning.There is no negative feeling or thinking implied but the the true nature of its -life- rendering)

The discovery of the architect, the craving or Thanha leads to its irradication or ending of all cravings and attaining the Nibbana or Arahathship ultimate unborn (not reborn) state.

The rafters are:

Kilesa or Passion

Loba or attachment

Dosa or hate and aversion

Moha or illusion

Mana or conceit or self disception

Mittyaditti or Wrong View

Vicikiccha or doubt

Thina or sloth

Uddhacca or restlessness

Ahirika or moral.shamelessness

Anottappa or moral fearlessness

The ridge pole that supports the rafters are:
Ignorance or Avijja the root cause of all passions.

The shattering of Avijja leads to Wisdom unparalleled or Nibbana.

 

Soul Talk

Soul Talk

A soul to another soul on new arrival.

Shall we upgrade him or downgrade him?

Wait.

Why?

He is a politician.

His loots are not yet demonized (digitally converted) on earth (for posterity) due to a legal wrangle.

Bugger, the Bankers who Buggered US

 Thursday, December 14, 2017
Bugger, the Bankers who Buggered US

The Christmas is around the corner it is time to cheer yourself.

Best song I recommend is in the YouTube and it is Bugger the Bankers.

Lyrics of Bugger the Bankers
When I was a lass I was proud of me class
Like my father and mother before me
They taught me to fight for my civil rights
But it’s always the same old story.
The rich reign supreme while the poor only dream
And they don’t give a damn, Tory, Lib’ral or Labour.
Chorus
Bugger the bankers and politicians
Bugger the bureaucrats too
Bugger the buggers who make up the rules
And if you’re one of them – bugger you!
The system is bad and the money’s all spent
We’re buggered from every direction
The workers are taxed, the wealthy relax
With nary a moment for reflection
Chorus
Now all you good people with passion to vent
Don’t give up your struggle for justice
I’ve done my time in the protesters’ line
And these days I show my dissent
By loitering within my tent, my tent.


Five Ds

Five Ds are related to our Commercial Banks.
It is no different, NOW in our state banks, too

Death

Disease

Divorce

Debt and

Depression

All the Ds are depressing enough.

1. Death is of course the best of all.
If somebody dies 50% are happy (owns his or her assets) and other 50% are unhappy that they did not have legal access his or her assets.

2. Disease is inevitable if one live long.
Only way to avoid is kick the bucket in one's prime health in old age.

Otherwise our doctors fatten their pockets by diagnosing the diseases you never have or had.

Their bill is the major cause of depression.

3. Divorce contributes to most of the other Ds.
If one does not understand the Ds mentioned here one should not marry or at least delay it as much as possible.

4. Debt is directly proportionate to the number of commercial banks in a country including Central Bank.

The difference of the Central Bank is that the P.M. and President take the debts and 
poor citizen has to pay till s/he dies.

Political term is 5 years and debt is eternal stretching up to a century.

5. Depression is inevitable if you own a credit card or that matter a bank account.

It is part and parcel of the banking process.

Only way you can get out of it is to tune to the song or by heart the lyrics every time you walk into a bank to pay the debts you own.

I suppose I must end my digital connection with this song, since the whole Internet is depressing to say the least.

I also get some comments (most of the young and old guys do not know have how to organize the social life and debts).  

Facebook is their only outlet which I never use.

Facebook itself is a depressing.

So do not join or cancel your registration.
I tell you they never allow you to quit.

That itself is depressing.

This advice is for married people.

Moment you marry you get into debt mode.

Only way to avoid is to delay it or marry late when one is not fertile.

Then you do not have kids around that make you to conceal your depression and blame them for your own faults.

1. Not to have a credit card or destroy them the earliest possible.

2. Have only a saving account ideally two.
One for day to day expenses.

The other for real saving if you can afford.

This should be in a state bank nearest to your residence.

If I have to travel one hour one way another hour back home it is a pain.

3. Do not keep the money at home.

4. Your pocket should be always empty except for onward and backward travel ticket to the nearest till.

If somebody asks for loan show your empty pocket.

5. If the bank offers you a card try to forget its pin number earliest possible.

Then you go to the bank only when you really need some cash.

Any number above is prohibitive in Ceylon.

They can remember only three.

Try at least to remember 3 of the above five and death is redundant by default.

Above all enjoy the song bugger the bankers and your politicians who takes loans on your behalf.

Ultimate (MANJARO) Edition

Ultimate (MANJARO) Edition 

By the way, it is MANJARO based and I did not have problems with GRUB.

With this my criticisms of Manjaro ends for good 

No problem with GRUB and no hesitation to recommend it to a newbie.

It is plasma 6.5 and I am not a KDE supporter by default. 

It is using 1.3GB of my 7.3GB RAM at idle which is remarkable.

It is using 14.9GB of my 23.9GB /root partition and I have 9GB free space.

No Synaptic Package Manager but I would get my AbiWord and I am happy without LibreOffice.

I got, Audacity, Firefox and Blender.

Transmission and Deluge added.

With all that 3.7GB of my spare space is left. 

This is why I say Linux and ARCH Rocks.

Dolphin is mandatory.

VLC is already there.

OBS is already there.

Thank to All at Ultimate Gamers.

By the way, I am not a gamer in my old age. I only play little kid's games.

Ultimate Linux is a gamer distribution I have not tested for ages.

These guys quietly do their work without funfair and they have come out with their latest image in December, 2025. 

I am going to install it on top of Manjaro, since Manjaro cannot coexist with other ARCH distributions.

It has grown huge and is 6.8GB in size. 

  

Ultimate (MANJARO) Edition 

OS Type: Linux
    Based on: Arch
    Origin: USA
    Architecture: x86_64
    Desktop: Cinnamon, KDE Plasma, MATE, Xfce
    Category: Desktop, Gaming, Live Medium
    Status: Active
    Popularity: 74 (200 hits per day) 

Ultimate Edition, first released in December 2006, was a fork of Ubuntu and Linux Mint though recent versions (starting in 2024) have been based on Arch Linux. The goal of the project is to create a complete, seamlessly integrated, visually stimulating, and easy-to-install operating system. Single-button upgrade is one of several special characteristics of this distribution. Other main features include custom desktop and theme with 3D effects, support for a wide range of networking options, including WiFi and Bluetooth, and integration of many extra applications and package repositories.

Ultimate Gamers Edition

 

Most of these games age already bundled up in Debian Gnome in 64 bit format.
 

I have not tested but Ultimate Arch Gamers also have bundled their own game pack.

 

Even though, it is 4.4GB the Box Utility of Debian it mounts in a Virtual Session, bringing nostalgia of 32 bit era.

 

It has GDebi Package installer and that it means it is updated to current use and once installed one can install even my favorite Abiword. 

 

Being a gamer, it has no office packages.

I have no hesitation to recommend using it by a newbie or an old hand like me in Linux.

 

Thank YOU guys and Girls developing Ultimate Gamers Edition.

 

I have included in my book "Linux Essentials" in the Gamers section.

 

I am not a fan of MATE and I have not used MATE as a regular user and that is why this Distribution has missed my attention.

 

By the way, I am not a fan of ARCH Linux but ARCH has come up with (Storm, Blue Star Linux, Arco Linux) many editions.

 

Blue Star Linux was 4.7GB and is a very elegant distribution only my lack of experience in ARCH Linux keep me not using it.

 

Manjaro is on top of my selections.

 

I am too, old to learn new tricks and I am happy with Debian.

 

It took almost two hours to download Blue Star Linux by torrents with only 3 seeders. 

I used my old Laptop. 

I use my Laptop (500GB but only half full after loading with all the Linux images) to store store all the Linux images, since my NUC has no space. 

Already filled with over 50 Iso images, mostly old Puppy Linux my favorite.

 

Linux Mint

Mx Linux

Debian

4M Linux (version 5 did not have seeders). 

Majaro

Blue Star Linux

 

By the way, Netrunner KDE derivative has become one of my favorite distributions which has many attributes.

 

Ultimate Gamers Edition is an open source and completely free Linux kernel based operating system derived from the world’s most popular distribution of Linux, Ubuntu, and designed from the ground up for hardcore Gamers. 

The Gamers flavour of the Ultimate Edition Linux operating system is distributed as a Live DVD ISO image that has approximately 4GB in size,    it supports both 32 bit (x86) and 64 bit (x86_64) hardware platforms, but contains software packages optimized only for the 32 bit architecture. It can be written to either a DVD disc or a USB thumb drive of 4GB or higher capacity.
Being designed from the ground up as a Live DVD, the Ultimate Gamers Edition distribution will allow the user to use the entire system directly from the bootable medium, in live mode. By default, it will start automatically when you boot the ISO image from the BIOS of a PC, but various advanced boot options are available on the boot menu.
The distribution’s default and only graphical desktop environment is powered by LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment), which uses a traditional single panel layout for a productive and very fast desktop experience.
Among the pre-installed games are 

3D chess, 

Airstrike, 

Aisleriot Solitaire, 

Barrage, Blackjack, 

Boswars, 

Brutal, 

Chess, 

BzFlag, 

Brutal Chess,

The Play On Linux application, a graphical front end for the award winning Wine software, will allow the user to download, install and play games that have been designed to work only on the Microsoft Windows operating system.

HAPPY New Year, 2026 to All Linux Developers

HAPPY New Year  to all the Linux Developers,  especially the ARCH Rilling Release guys.

On January, First I tried installing all the ARCH derivatives except CachyOS, just to see who can coexist within the same GRUB Boot Loader.

For now, I can say who would not.

1. CachyOS 

2. MANJARO 

The ones who coexist are

1. BlueStar Linux

Thank you BlueStar the most beautiful KDE Desktop for widhing me Happy New Year.

Happy New Year to YOU.

2. REBORN OS

3. Debian GNOME 

HAPPY New Year to PUPPY Linux and KNOPPIX 9.1.

WAKE Up from Slumber.

By the way, I did not try MX Linux and AntiX (stll in beta2 stage).

MX Linux is pretty good but it should improve its Wall Papers.

Blend OS from India and I do not like Achcharu Distribution.

Endeavor OS beautiful but not enough applications.

I do not fancy fiddling with configuration aftet first install.

Well I HATE immutable districtions which defeat the very pronciple of Linux. They are no different to commercial products.

Final word about Gnoppix its December 31 iso does not boot after installation in my NUC, so I did not try it on January First.

By the way, Debian DVD-1 takes a long time to install since it is not modular and every single file has to be configured before booting. It also checks before booting. I made a mistake while installing i

my spare GNOME and  the entire file system including passward file.

With only GNOME, Phosh and Lomiri Cellphone utilities it totals 9.4GB /root file.

I got my GRUB back to normal after nearly 24 hours of hard work.
