  • I’m not gatekeeping at all. That’s a simple factual statement. I don’t look down on them, they do good things, so does the Catholic church.

    Real Buddhism is not a religion. It has no baggage. It’s a practice. People who do the practices are Buddhists without needing to say. They simply are, you are what you DO. Not what you say.

    The entire dhamma could be obliterated and it could be regenned with the practice.

    Zen Flesh Zen Bones has an account of that… Monk sees master burning the books… “What are you doing?!”

    Master says, “What are you saying?”

    Religious people have holy things, practicers don’t.

    Try remaking a religion from scratch with prayer.

    So religions are what they are, not my cup of tea. Static, unyielding to change. Outdated.

    Can’t gatekeep the truth.

    Pulling into an area, the odds of unwanted clinging proximity decrease with more turns made and the more gnarly the road choices appear.

    Simple flow chart with unpopular choices. Three gnarly turns in a row is pretty solid.

    If it’s ugly looking, of course walk it first. Even big puddles will deter weaklings and tweaklings.

    Thus I’ve woken in the middle of the night because the moon has come up and I’m surrounded by lowing cows, or being bumped by a bear, or being practically deafened by profound silence (mostly).
