About Me

when contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment to them, and from such attachment lust develops, and from lust anger arises, from anger complete delusion arises, and from delusion bewilderment of memory. when memory is bewildered, intelligence is lost, and when intelligence is lost one falls down into the material pool.

My Interests

There is nothing to practice. To know yourself, be yourself. To be yourself, stop imagining yourself to be this or that. Just be. Let your true nature emerge. Don't disturb your mind with seeking. All that is required is all at once to cease leaving your Self in search of something external. When this is done you will find your Self no different from the Buddhas or patriarchs.

I'd like to meet:

if on the great journey of life a man cannot find one who is better or at least as good as himself, let him joyfully travel alone: a fool cannot help him on his journey.

Music:

Creativity and cultural production in advanced capitalist societies were always already co-opted by the entertainment needs of an economic system that requires sensory stimulation and recognizable cliché and suppressed the tendency for sustained deliberation.

Movies:

Television:

Books:

All knowledge is like the son of a barren woman.

Heroes:

You have grievously misunderstood yourself. To understand rightly, investigate.+++++ Make no mistake, if you don't find it in this life, then for a thousand kalpas you'll be born again and again in the three-fold world, you'll be lured off by what you think are favorable environments and be born in the belly of a donkey or a cow!
