While meditating this afternoon, I farted.

It was a very liberating experience I should hold on to forever to help me with my practice.

Interview with Ingrid Jordt, anthropologist and former Buddhist nun, re: Buddhists in Myanmar/Burma

2007-11-04T13:16:38Z

I caught the second half of American Public Media's radio program, Speaking of Faith, this morning and thought folks in this community would be interested.

The program is called Burma Buddhism and Power and is described as:
"A look inside the spiritual culture of Burma, exploring the meaning of monks taking to the streets there in September, the way in which religion and military rule are intertwined, and how Buddhism remains a force in and beyond the current crisis."

It features an interview with Ingrid Jordt, "an assistant professor of Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, former Buddhist nun, and author of Burma's Mass Lay Meditation Movement."

I found her words about the bravery of the Buddhist monks, as well as her take on the need for compassion in confronting oppression, incredibly powerful and moving.

Here's the website, which includes a link to hear the radio program as well as to hear the complete interview with Jordt (they couldn't fit the entire interview into the hour-long show):

Are the sentiments in this video Buddhist or not? Discuss.

OK, so maybe he is an asshole

2007-05-27T21:26:17Z

Those last two minutes were a bit confounding...

OMGZ! IT'S THE FACE OF THE BUDDHA!!!

2007-02-20T19:06:36Z

SEE IT?

Oh, hey. I was just wondering what the Buddhist opinion was on giant dick-shaped rocks. I saw a bunch of them at Chiricahua National Monument and wanted to know what the Buddhist opinion of them was.

THATS IT BUDDHISTS! GET OFF THE INTERNET!

And where did you sleep last night?

Where do I get my "official Buddhist" membership card?

2006-11-18T16:32:41Z

OK, so I've found out that I can't get it at Barnes and Noble or on the Internet... Everyone keeps telling me I'm not a "real Buddhist," and I don't understand, where they got their membership cards, and why I can't get one. What do I have to do to get one? Stop eating meat? Learn another language? Go to a temple? Who do I send a check and a letter to once I've done all these things? I'm sure I'll be that much closer to True Enlightenment!! when I get my card and can say "I'm a real Buddhist now!"

But why do I get the feeling this isn't the point...?

Random comment: You know, when I felt compelled to post shit like this before, I'd just do it in buddhists. And I'm not sure I shouldn't.

My Camaro Says "Samsara" On The Back Window

2006-11-17T16:24:14Z

Oh, man, when I'm a boddhisattva, my mustache is going to be way cooler than that one.

How much more suffering do they have to cure when their mustache causes pain?

What kind of mullet do the Pure Land Buddhas have?

Seriously, I was thinking about looking into Pure Land, but now that I see that they worship 14 year old Puerto Rican boys, well, I just can't support that.

Precepts? What precepts? Does Buddha hate fags, or doesn't he?

2006-11-01T11:13:43Z

What is teh Buddhist position on freebasing Draino?

Is it okay if I use my Buddha-Bong?

I wonder what the Buddhist view of hiphop is?

2006-10-28T21:16:56Z

Heh heh

2006-09-24T17:17:55Z

If buddhists made a "inspirational daily calendar," what do you think some of them would be?

My favorites would be

"What's the Buddhist view on abortion?"

"Rumi says..."

"LIKE OMGZ, I WAS DOING A THOTH READING LAST NIGHT, AND WHILE I TOOK TIME TO HAIL BEEZLEBUB, AND THE ANCIENT SPIRIT OF GODFUCK, I SAW THIS TOTALLY WICKED TIBETAN SPIRIT FROM YEARS OF LSD USE! MY KARMA IZ PWNED!"

Hmmmm....

2006-09-22T15:49:10Z

What kind of underwear does Buddha wear?

Is he a boxers or briefs guy? Or does he go commando?

THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION THIS COMMUNITY EVER HAD, EVER

2006-09-09T17:12:05Z

WHAT IS TEH BUDDHIST VIEW ON THE NEW YORK YANKEES AND THE BOSTON RED SOX?

"Wolf in sheep's clothing," indeed!

2006-09-09T11:45:00Z

Shhh! Don't tell bodhisattvas -- but in case you didn't spot it...

Yes, the "oddly familiar" deliriousmonk, indeed, turns out to be none other than our old friend, that ubiquitous and impotently obstreperous Twat Of Twats, synthetikmisery.

Those who didn't smell it coming a mile away may now begin kicking themselves vigorously in the backside.

As you were.

The Teachings of Master Goose

2006-09-02T16:33:29Z

Here are my re-render-imagineerings of the teachings of Master Goose. I feel the term "Mother Goose" overlooks the fact that Master Goose is father and mother to us all, and has great wisdom to share with the whole world, but with the awful translations, that wisdom has been lost for centuries. I think my version explains it so much more clearly.

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall of the Dharma
Humpty Dumpty had a great big fall into Samsara
And all the king's horses, trapped in the realm of beasts,
And all the king's men, trapped in the illusion of future and past,
Couldn't reveal the root-causes of Humpty's suffering,
For only the great truth of the Atman could do that.

Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill's earthly temporal bodies, free from their astral spirits, went up a hill
To seek a well that they may drink of Transcendent Divine Wisdom and attain Nirvana.
Jack fell from the endless cycle of suffering,
And broke the crown of attachment to the physical world,
And led the Bodhisattva path for Jill, who followed him into blissful peace and Moksha.

Namaste, you deluded losers.

Buddha say....

2006-08-29T17:55:29Z

What does Buddha say about sex with midgets and fat women?

Is Buddha down for taking one for the team, or is he all about sayin "we don't love them ho's!"?

question

2006-08-15T01:16:06Z

can anyone tell me where the buddha nature is in this song?

Sir Mix-A-Lot
Baby Got Back

Oh my god, Becky, look at her butt
It is so big
She looks like one of those rap guys girlfriends
Who understands those rap guys
They only talk to her because she looks like a total prostitute, ok?
I mean her butt
It's just so big
I can't believe it's so round
It's just out there
I mean, it's gross
Look, she's just so black

I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waste
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull up front
Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But with that butt you got
Me so horny
Ooh, rub all of that smooth skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz
Well use me, use me cuz you ain't that average groupy

I've seen them dancin'
The hell with romancin'
She sweat, wet, got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette

I'm tired of magazines
saying flat butt's the only thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back, so

Fellas (yeah), fellas (yeah)
Has your girlfriend got the butt (hell yeah)
Well shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake that healthy butt
Baby got back

(LA face with Oakland booty)

I like'em round and big
And when I'm throwin' a gig
I just can't help myself
I'm actin like an animal
Now here's my scandal

I wanna get you home
And ugh, double ugh, ugh
I ain't talkin' bout Playboy
Cuz silicone parts were made for toys
I wannem real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mixalot's in trouble
Beggin' for a piece of that bubble
So I'm lookin' at rock videos
Watchin' these bimbos walkin' like hoes
You can have them bimbos
I'll keep my women like Flo Jo
A word to the thick soul sistas
I wanna get with ya
I won't cus or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna fuck
Til the break of dawn
Baby, I got it goin on
A lot of pimps won't like this song
Cuz them punks like to hit it and quit it
But I'd rather stay and play
Cuz I'm long and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the friction on

So ladies (yeah), ladies (yeah)
If you wanna role in my Mercedes (yeah)
Then turn around
Stick it out
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back

(LA face with the Oakland booty)

Yeah baby
When it comes to females
Cosmo and got nothin to do with my selection
36-24-36
Only if she's 5'3"

So your girlfriend rolls a Honda
Playin' workout tapes by Fonda
But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda
My anaconda don't want none unless you've got buns hon
You can do side bends or sit-ups, but please don't lose that butt
Some brothers wanna play that hard role
and tell you that the butt need to go
So they toss it and leave it
And I pull up quick to retrieve it
So Cosmo says you're fat
Well I ain't down with that
Cuz your waste is small and your curves are kickin'
And I'm thinkin' bout stickin'
To the beanpole dames in the magazines
You ain't it Miss Thang
Give me a sista I can't resist her
Red beans and rice didn't miss her
Some knucklehead tried to dis
Cuz his girls were on my list
He had game but he chose to hit 'em
And pulled up quick to get with 'em
So ladies if the butt is round
And you wanna triple X throw down
Dial 1-900-mixalot and kick them nasty thoughts
Baby got back
