Ten ways to be pretty dumb
“I bow at the feet of Marpa Lotsawa.
Listen, you with faith who support the Dharma.
It is quite foolish to commit negative actions without thought
While the genuine Dharma is spreading everywhere.
It's pretty foolish to waste all this life
When you have what is so difficult to find, a human body with leisure and resources.
It's pretty silly to stay forever
In this cemetery of a city in ruins.
It's pretty silly to fight and fight
In this family, a mere passing crowd at the fair.
It's pretty silly to think that your bad attitude is important.
When these words of fame are nothing more than the sound of the illusion itself.
It's pretty foolish to risk your life fighting
When an enemy's anger will fade like a flower
It is quite foolish to grieve at the moment of death.
For deceitful relatives, false home of devious.
It's pretty foolish to let stinginess tie you in knots
When this wealth like dew is nothing more than a temporary loan.
It's pretty foolish to polish your image, wanting to look good
When this form skandha is just a bag of filth.
It's pretty foolish to trade for food and wealth. These oral instructions, supreme food of pure nectar.
In a gathering of many fools
If you are intelligent, you will practice the sublime Dharma and know your own way.
If you are brilliant, then do what I, the yogi, have done.”
- Milarepa

Neither mercy nor compassion are weaknesses.
False ego and insecurity masquerading as strength
certainly are.
Calm power shows largesse, gratitude, understanding, forgiveness and emotional control.
It is only when those are taken advantage of or disregarded that power becomes a crushing force.

Yesterdays poll result really put such a huge smile on my face, 45% of you are Buddhists.
This wasn't really a thing on the Right about a year ago. What we are all doing, is important.
You should think of yourself as akin to the first few generations of Christians coming into Europe. Our gurus came out of Tibet, and some are Westerners who first broke through and came into contact with these perfect, ancient initiatic mystery schools and lineages, this great heroic path across the celestial waters which Evola talked about.
They've made it easily accessible - this is something that we haven't seen since pre-Christian Rome. It is amazing.
But now we have to actually set up shop.
Right now, there are a few Dharma Centers scattered about, which act more or less as Tibetan cultural centers, full of alt-spirituality hippies of yore. Most of the time, you wouldn't know if they are a Dharma Center, where Shakyamunis Lions Roar of Truth is blazing like a fire, or a yarn knitting convention.
That is on us to rectify. We need to inject some much needed (and appreciated by our Gurus) masculinity. Likewise, we need to tastefully, respectfully, and organically start assimilating Buddhism and our own European cultural heritage. This isn't to change anything in Buddhism, but to make it our own, just as the Tibetans made it their own, and the Japanese, and the Chinese, etc etc etc.
Our Gurus are not only open to this, they want to pass it off to us - but we need to be worthy recipients.
That means, we have to do more than merely taking initiation ... we have to be doing retreats, really putting in the time and effort at cultivating real spiritual achievement and realization, creating sacred places in our own enviorment through our own practice.
We can have a great spiritual renaissance here in the west via Buddhism, or a return to the dark ages with an encroachment of Islam. Take your pick.

This is called Tonglen Meditation
The short and skinny of it is, you are inhaling the suffering of other beings, and exhaling happiness to them. Here is some more detail (and yes, you can do this without smoking).
I always begin any meditation with "9 Round Breathing". This clears up your inner channels.
Without getting too deep here, sit up straight, use your right forefinger to block your left nostril. Inhale with your right nostril. Then use your left forefinger to block your right nostril and exhale with the left.
Do this 3x.
Then switch, and inhale/exhale with the other nostril.
Do this 3x.
Then without any blocking, inhale through both nostrils fully, then exhale fully.
Do this 3x.
At this time you can take refuge and cultivate Bodhicitta.
"In my heart I go to the three Jewels for refuge, may I free suffering beings and set them into bliss, may the compassionate spirit of love grow within me, that I may complete the enlightening path."
Recite this 3x.
Okay, now - in the space in front of you, imagine some being whom you wish to make the focus of your meditation. Preferably someone you feel connected to - a family member, or someone hurting. Someone whose pain you wish to take away. In absense of this, you can simply find a critter running around, and focus on them.
When you generate them in front of you, truly, deeply try to bring them there. You are essentially bringing their astral body to you - which is not bound by space or time (yes, you can do this for the deceased as well).
Now you can light your cigarette if you'd like.
As you inhale, visualize black smoke entering into you (or literally, with the cigarette smoke). This smoke is not simply "mundane" smoke any longer - it is their suffering. You are breathing in their delusions which cause them unrest and anxiety, that suffering which separates one from the bliss of the primordial ground of Buddha Nature.
You become deeply connected with them. Put yourself in their shoes. Feel their fear, their pain, their problems. Deeply feel it. It may even cause you to cry. But do not judge them, just come to a place of deep connectedness, empathy, and understanding.
As this suffering enters into your body in the form of black smoke, it contacts your own "smoke" - that smoke that keeps you trapped in your own Egoic Selfhood, and keeps you un-connected to others. Your own suffering.
Their membrane of smoke, and yours, collides with one another - and when they make contact, they cancel each other out - the smoke all disappears into the void.
You are now deeply connected with that person, in a state of fufillment and happiness. Ridden of that which plagues you and them alike - namely, the false conception of the self. You recognize your mutual interdependence.
At this time, you exhale out into the world, a purifying clear light. This is the light of your Buddha Nature (since you cleared out all of your "smoke", all that is left is this primordial light).
This healing light, then shines outward, like the sun, and purifies the suffering of all suffering beings. Like a holy nectar, it descends upon their heads, and fills every cell of their body with bliss and peace.
Together with the loved one whom you have imagined, all the world is healed by your meditation. The better you get at this, the more real you will find the effects of this are, in the world.
Do this for as long as you'd like.
When you are finished, offer the merits of this practice.
"From the ocean of suffering, may I free all beings. So too shall I, by following the noble example of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, be freed from the chains of samsara. I dedicate the virtue of this pure motivation and practice to the benefit of all."
That's it - enjoy an esoteric smoke break.

If you put fleas in a shallow container they jump out. But if you put a lid on the container for just a short time, they hit the lid trying to escape and learn quickly not to jump so high. They give up their quest for freedom. After the lid is removed, the fleas remain imprisond by their own self policing. So it is with life. Most of us let our own fears or the impositions of others imprison us in a world of low expectations.
