disavailing zen stories

Calamity: Roshi Phil Jackson and the Zen Lakers Sneak Attack on the
Obama White House.

Update: Game 5 went badly. It's going to be verry, verrrry bad.

Once again, Toynbee says that those who adopt the view that what is
going wrong is just destiny they cannot change (It wasn't meant to be.
It's not our turn, etc.) are in fact incorrect. Even at the last
moment, an entire civilization headed towards certain doom can avert
that course in a peripeteia (reversal of fortune). Even now, on the
brink of disaster, the effects can be ameliorated.

EVERYONE WHO CAN, NEEDS TO CHANT A LOT OF DAIMOKU.

The devilish function controls the pacing and size of this horror, but
our great fortune is that the Magic lost in Orlando and there wasn't
the instant karma of the unbridled Zen glee in Los Angeles. So there
is a modicum of good fortune in that.

Events could intervene (human-created) to take the bloom off of this
toxic rose. When time comes for official recognition at every level
(especially the White House), our attention could be diverted and the
impact taken out of the Phil Jackson Zen jubilation. If we are very
lucky, this will happy.

In a sense, already, the misfortune of the downturn has a benefical
aspect. It's hard to party hardy when you need to scramble for food.

But the White House needs to find something else to busy itself with.
Everyone does.

From the "Opening of the Eyes", Writings of Nichiren Daishonin p. 276:
(http://www.sgilibrary.org/view.php?page=276)

.. The seventh volume of Great Concentration and Insight
.. states: "In the past, the Zen master of Yeh and Lo [Note
.. 200: Later commentators identify the "Zen master of Yeh
.. and Lo" with Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen in China.
.. T'ien-t'ai, however, does not mention him or any other
.. contemporary figure by name.] became renowned throughout
.. the length and breadth of China. When he arrived, people
.. gathered around him from all directions like clouds, and
.. when he left for another place, they formed a great
.. crowd along the roads. BUT WHAT PROFIT DID THEY DERIVE
.. FROM ALL THIS BUSTLE AND EXCITEMENT? ALL OF THEM
.. REGRETTED WHAT THEY HAD DONE WHEN THEY WERE ON THEIR
.. DEATHBED."
..
.. In the seventh volume of On "Great Concentration and
.. Insight" we read: "The text speaks of the 'Zen master of
.. Yeh and Lo.' Yeh is in Hsiang-chou and was the capital
.. of the Ch'i and Wei dynasties. The founder of Zen caused
.. Buddhism to flourish there and converted the people of
.. the region. The Great Teacher T'ien-t'ai, out of
.. deference to the people of his time, refrains from
.. naming anyone specifically. Lo refers to the city of Lo-
.. yang."

Lo-Yang is the city, wherein lies the Shaolin Monastery where
Bodhidharma founded Zen and all these other Zen practices arose.

See below for the reasoning behind why we should face this spring-
loaded trap effectively ... Only daimoku can contain this evil.

If Phil Jackson can win the NBA championships he becomes the winning-
est coach in NBA history, passing beyond his current tie with Red
Auerbach for championship rings.

If that were to happen, and the blowout of the Orlando Magic team in
game one makes it likely, the Zen Master and his minions will be
celebrating his victory in the White House, with an unwitting and
vulnerable Barack Obama.

Obama has made himself the target of Zen, for having the impertinence
to really try to change things in the world and put the country and
the world onto a different course that is not headed off the Bush-
Cheney cliff, straight into a Zen holocaust.

This new Camelot is not that much different from the previous one in
the 1960s, in the seemingly flawless nature of the young head of state
and his beautiful family. And his blindness to the hidden danger
placed directly in his path. (They are so perfect.)

So what, you say? Well, THIS is what.

First, an attachment to an evil master and his distortions of Buddhism
develops. Simultaneously, a void forms undermining the ground beneath
the follower's feet. At a crucial point, the Zen master is upheld over
all the world. Then the ground gives way, plummeting the followers,
and their friends and acquaintances into hell. The Zen master always
moves on before the disaster.

--------------------------------------

D.T. Suzuki came to the West just before the 20th century to educate
the seekers about what he called 'Buddhism', which was a grave
distortion. Having sowed the seeds of evil, he went back to Japan to
participate in the build-up to empire as a major cheerleader (in his
Japanese writings) to Imperial State Zen, encouraging the mindless
warriors to be heartless as well: "The hand that holds the sword is
the Buddha's hand." After the disastrous end of the Pacific War, he
changed his tune (in his English writings) explaining how the people
were fooled by their impetuous leaders. He ended his days lecturing in
Western coffee houses, misleading a new generation.

Eugen Herrigel, the author of the book that was to kick off the
widespread popularization of the distortions of Zen, "Zen in the Art
of Archery", was appointed the Rector of Erlangen University (a
stone's throw from Nuremberg) in 1935, just as the Nuremberg Laws were
enacted, codifying the descent of the European Jews into holocaust.
His acceptance speech was an anti-Semitic diatribe, which has never
been translated in English for distribution, thereby protecting his
hoax of a fake Zen. (There is, of course, no 'real' Zen, because Zen
IS distortion.) The support of Nazism by educators was key to the
development of a dialectic regarding Lebensraum (living room) in the
public discourse, which led to German expansionism and the
concentration camp for the unfortunate occupants of newly-acquired
territories. After the war, while other war criminals hung for their
evils, Herrigel's book became a bestseller.

The Mufti of Jerusalem (dubbed Hitler's Mufti by the NY Times) would
regularly review and bless the Islamic SS troops. He later became the
political leader of Gaza. After the war he fled the pursuit of the
British to Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Egypt, planting future
terror organizations, like the Muslim Brotherhood. He was a devoted
and public follower of Der Fuhrer, who had General and Professor
Haushofer (Geographer and father of Lebensraum), the former military
attache to Japan and avid Zen practitioner as his mentor during his
time in prison writing Mein Kampf. After the failed attacks by the
Arab League that caused the founding of Israel, the Mufti was on the
move again, sowing the seeds of defeated and undying hatred across the
Middle East.

David Ben Gurion, a Zen practitioner who was often seen reading D.T.
Suzuki's Zen tripe, was the first prime minister of Israel, which has
to this day, only been recognized by a few of its neighbors as a
legitimate state. He embraced the true cause for the destruction of
the European Jews. Kibbutzes (communes) across Israel are hotbeds of
Zen.

Moments before the dot-com bust of the late nineties, Zen master Larry
Ellison of Oracle, who lives inside a luxorious Zendo, briefly became
the richest man in the world, suspended aloft over a sleeping humanity
poised for financial implosion.

Zawahiri, Bin Ladin and Mullah Omar of the Taliban are among the
inheritors of Hitler's Mufti, and their 19 followers that led the 9/11
attacks were schooled in the martial arts to subjugate their unarmed
victims on the planes. The 4 followers of Al Qaeda that perpetrated
the attacks on the British Transit system were a martial arts
instructor and his 3 students. "All of the martial arts are based on
Zen." - Chuck Norris

Werner Erhard, schooled at Esalen by D.T. Suzuki, Alan Watts and
others, founded EST, which became Landmark Forum - the darling
corporate trainers for the Wall Street elite in the late nineties and
the turn of the 21st century. Landmark Forum moved their headquarters
into the tenth floor of Tower 1 of the World Trade Center in the late
spring of 2001. They wanted to be close to their hottest new clients
at the top of the world, Cantor Fitzgerald. After the plane landed
amongst their willing supporters, the Landmark masters exited the
building without any difficulty.

The darling of Wall Street, Zen master Steve Jobs, of the twin jewels
of Apple and Pixar, was paraded up and down the halls of finance as
the best and brightest corporate leader (ignoring his decimation of
Mac market share after shutting down the open hardware initiative of
his predecessor), all the while the twin jewels of the American
economy, real estate and the stock market, were being undermined to
the tune of 8 trillion dollars each.

-------------------------------------------

There are a bewildering plethora of Zen stories just like these,
endless variations on the theme, yet all the same.

What will inevitably become a disaster, both personal and political,
for the Obama administration and the nation and the world at large
(but not for Rush, Newt and Cheney) is what is called 'fixed karma' or
unchangeable destiny in Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism. Nothing can
stop the downward travel of this large stone towards the unprotected
White House and all of our carefully constructed hopes and dreams ...
save for one thing. Only those who care to chant Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo
to limit the destruction of this event can alter this destiny. Even
now, we can change this.

What danger, you ask? Zen is powerful, particularly when it is so
close to its ultimate goal, to breathe in the rarefied air of victory
within the Oval Office, a great demon passing unnoticed through the
phalanxes of Secret Service agents. Gloating in rapture over the
unfortunate and trapped occupants of humanity's most powerful and now
defenseless office. What a joke, these deluded mortals.

Only the daimoku of the Lotus Sutra (chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo) can
limit the effectiveness of this strike, left unabated, the devilish
function will pause for the Lakers to get to the White House, for
maximum effectiveness of his 'lesson' for us to pay attention to
Nichiren Daishonin. This is the wrong way to learn of course, we would
rather listen and take heed.

Southern California will fare the worst, and take the brunt of this.
The size of the retribution should be directly related to the size of
the celebration, both on the public scale and the private scale.

I will repeat myself in saying that Rahm Emanuel needs to find
something else for the White House to be focused upon at the crucial
moment. Every hero has his Achille's heel. Obama's heel is the NBA, he
cannot possibly perceive the danger of this rightly. Were he to do so,
he would respond that he was rooting for the Magic and is heart-broken
and despondent over it. Too depressed to celebrate the Laker's win.
