Hogen, a Chinese Zen teacher, lived alone in a small temple
in the country. One day four traveling monks appeared and asked
if they might make a fire in his yard to warm themselves.

While they were building the fire, Hogen heard them arguing
about subjectivity and objectivity. He joined them and said:
"There is a big stone. Do you consider it to be inside or
outside your mind?"

One of the monks replied: "From the Buddhist viewpoint
everything is an objectification of mind, so I would say that
the stone is inside my mind."

"Your head must feel very heavy," observed Hogen,
"if you are carrying around a stone like that in your mind."

So that's why I'm not getting laid.


(Is that why every discordian I know has that self-satisfied smirk on their face? :confused: )

I don't want to panic anyone, but we have cause to be paranoid.

We are being monitored, and closely.

OM! Operation Mindfuck! OMMMMMMM!

You see its really all about Zenarchy and Zenarchist anarcho-pacifist teachings. Much different than anarchy - which you have to admit has TOO many rules - hating the government and all that.

Jesus died for your sins, make them count!

Tis an ill wind that blows no minds!

When the spiritual teacher and his disciples began their
evening meditation, the cat who lived in the monastery
made such noise that it distracted them. So the teacher
ordered that the cat be tied up during the evening
practice. Years later, when the teacher died, the cat
continued to be tied up during the meditation session.
And when the cat eventually died, another cat was
brought to the monastery and tied up. Centuries later,
learned descendants of the spiritual teacher wrote
scholarly treatises about the religious significance of
tying up a cat for meditation practice.
 
Shovel bullshit long enough, and it takes on a spiritual significance.

But it's still bullshit.

That reeks of sig line quality ;)
 
So all the thousands and thousands of years behind Zen teachings is nothing more than bullshit?

Very Profound.

Anything can potentially be perceived as bullshit by someone who doesn't understand it.
 
Now, I wasn't referring specifically to anything, other than the fact that the original context of almost anything needs to be considered.

Basically, I boiled down the cat post, put a slightly cynical spin on it, and threw it back into the mix.

Zen is a philosophy I don't ever crap on.

what's this sticker?

"Clark Kent was here?"

Uhm.....
