Have you noticed that Zen spelled backwards is neZ?

I don't know what zen is, but it helps me let go of stuff.

Sometimes zen for me is watching people on the internet trying to prove to other people how clever they are.  (MY self included.)

hehe

...most if not all of us realise the important of breathing-air at our death bed...

...zen is alive right in our daily wholesome activities life, unlike dust-sutras, it is flexible freshen creative & right down to earth practical thing of thing in our living life...if only we could put an effort into the practice... THANKS & CHEERS~~~

Quote: "I am nothing, compared to Zen. "
.........

nothing to compare it with

the frog in the pond

the raking of the leaves

and to quote baso i believe- "a spray of plum blossoms"

Gautama, The Buddha, was not a Buddhist or a Zen Buddhist.

He was a Hindu. 

Buddhism arose from the following of his teachings.

After spreading into China and Southern Asia, Zen arose out of a derived belief in Impermanence.  That essentially since nothing lasts forever, there is no reality other than constant flux.

That is Zen to me.  The name, word, or Wobba, for constant flux in the Universe.  Nothing is what it was, or is what it will be, it just is what it is now.

In the Hindu religion, of which there are many sects, a Buddha is a person who attains awakening without a teacher.  The world is full of them all the time. 

Siddartha Gautama Buddha was such a person, and became such a great teacher that he has been dubbed The Buddha.  Its an honorary title.

Jesus was not a Christian.  He was a Jewish Rabbi.  It might surprise people to know that Hitler was a Roman Catholic, and he got the idea for the Swastica from a church stained glass window, which means that he worshipped a Jewish Rabbi as God, while simultaneously ordering all Jews in Europe to be killed.

Please.  We have got to think things through.

Shramana:

I like demons.

They dont bother me.

We have had some laughs together.

You have to walk past the gargoyles to get into the church

If you want to find peace.

What is ZEN to me is a question which goes like this:

What is ZEN to me?

What I mean is that Im not who they are looking for, who they are interested in.

Remember that Lucifer and the Demons are angels.  Fallen angels but angels nonetheless.

They are interested in evil people. 

Quote: "Lucifer is not a so-called 'fallen angel'. Lucifer is Jesus, the Morning Star.

"Time Future: The accuser of our Comrades, who accuses them day and night before our God, has now been thrown down."

"Time Present: I, Jesus, am Lucifer.""
.........

Where did this come from?

Source?

Zen, can't see summer

it has no window

there is no 'other'

Zen has no free-ends

Zen is supple 

and not contrived

it has shallow aspects - to deal with

but there is no shallow surmising

And, prising won't do

Zen will make a monkey of you

hmm, isn't it funny how a bear likes hunny...

Quote: "Do the textual research and you will discover that Lucifer (The Light Bringer, Light Bearer, The Morning Star), is not Satan. Post-Biblical (Latin), writers conflated Satan (The Adversary, The Celestial Prosecuter - translated into the Greek 'Diabolos') with Lucifer.

There is no Devil in the Book of Genesis, the interpretation of the Serpent in the Garden of Eden as the Devil is a retro-fit.

In the NT, Satan is not necessarily God's 'enemy'.

The author of the Book of Revelation has Jesus call himself 'The Bright Morning Star, in Latin 'Lucifer' - the name of the planet Venus appearing in the east.

In my dreams and visions I have met Lucifer and some demons as well.  I did not feel any evil from them. 

But I have felt evil from people.

My take on what I have experienced in meditation regarding these personages is not that they are evil, but rather that they seek out evil people to punish or undo them.

I havent made Lucifer any deals or promises, but I do owe a few favors.  I do work it that way.  If someone needs help, I ask God to help them.  But when I see harm or evil I send a message to my brother Lucifer asking him to attend to the matter.  Essentially I say, *Hey Luc, I think this is one of yours....*

Quote: "Immortal1 is on a monosyllabic basis with the Lord of Lies. Be very afraid. "
.........

It is as It is being.  I was not afraid of Lucifer because I believe that God is creating everything all time, so there is never anything to fear but God, and what would be the point of that? 

I have met lots of people in my meditative travels, some of whom I will never know their names. 

This physical universe is only one plane of existence among countless many.  Humans are not the end-all of everything.  Just a small part of the overall population of creatures.

But if that is all you have encountered, naturally then it would be all about humans.
