Only force can be triggered:
ONLY FORCE OR PLANS (EG OF HOW TO LAUGH) DRIVEN BY FORCE CAN BE TRIGGERED AND SO IT IS THAT HIS LAUGHTER IS A PLAN OF HOW TO LAUGH ACCORDING TO HIM THAT HAS BEEN TRIGGERED BY SOMETHING SAID AND IT IS REHASHED AND ROBOTIC AND FAR FROM UNADULTERATED BLISS, IT IS STRESSFUL AND DISTURBING TO THE MIND THAT ALSO CONDITIONS HIS MIND FURTHER THAT WILL END IN TORMENT. HE IS LAUGHING FOR SHOW TO IMPRESS OTHERS HOW HAPPY OR APPRECIATIVE HE IS.
WHEN YOUR BEHAVIOR (EG LAUGHTER) CAN BE TRIGGERED, YOU ARE A SLAVE NOT MASTER OF YOUR BEHAVIOR. WHILST HE IS LAUGHING THUS, HE IS DETACHED FROM REALITY, IN A DAZE AND IN DANGER SHOULD SOMETHING REQUIRING ACTION LIKE THE APPEARANCE OF A TIGER REQUIRE QUICK THINKING FROM HIM.
No such thing as illegal in Buddhism?
By Cheong Knooi Cheng
Dr. Mohd. Ridhuan Tee, our so-called Islamic scholar has proclaimed a very wrong fact about Buddhism when he mentioned that the existence of sexual relationship before engagement or marriage is illegal. The very truth is that there is no such thing as illegal in Buddhism but only abstaining or refraining. One would wonders from which Buddhist authorities or texts he gets his facts.
There are precepts and discipline in Buddhism that are clearly spelt out and all faults are to be confessed and eradicated, otherwise you can be expelled from Buddhism. Thus if as a lay follower or monk you do something that the rules clearly spell that you should abstain, you are doing something illegal and not only is it to be confessed, you have to desist and you can be expelled if you do not.
This is an emotional deluded man who thinks he understands Buddhism and is an authority when he misrepresents Buddhism. Truth is truth, there is nothing very about truth. Wrong is wrong, there is nothing very about wrong. You can only be wrong, if you perceive that it is possible to be very wrong you may be right or have false perception that will end in mad perception.
He is sarcastic, calling the person ‘so-called Islamic scholar’ and pretentiously ‘wonders’ from which Buddhist authorities or texts he gets his facts (as if what he says is fact).
What do you mean by illegal?
Illegal means not legal or lawful or correct or it is wrong.
The Buddha’s teaching is called the dharma and it spells out clearly what is right and wrong.
The Buddha said such and such is virtue, such and such is concentration, such and such is wisdom and so virtue can be clearly defined and it applies to everyone. Thus whatever is not as defined by the Buddha is wrong or false and therefore illegal in Buddhism.
Buddhism is not founded by you but by the Buddha and so whoever is said to be Buddhist must abide by rules and teachings that the Buddha has clearly set down and is not negotiable and whoever infringes against the teaching has committed an offence or done something illegal.
Jesus said he who obeys what I command is the one who loves me so can you still call yourself a Christian if you disobey what Jesus commanded?
Whatever is wrong must be illegal:
If you commit a wrong according to a religion then it must be illegal according to the religion. If you think you can commit a wrong or follow a religion wrongly and it is nevertheless not illegal you may be right or you have muddled thinking and false perception that something impossible is possible that is the path to future madness.
IT MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOMETHING WRONG TO BE NEVERTHELESS LEGAL OR NOT ILLEGAL. IF YOU THINK YOU CAN COMMIT A WRONG ACCORDING TO BUDDHISM AND IT IS STILL NOT ILLEGAL YOU MAY BE RIGHT OR YOU HAVE ADVANCED FALSE PERCEPTION.
What is the use of teaching as in Buddhist teaching if it is not to be followed? If you don’t follow the teaching or follow the teaching wrongly then if that is not illegal it means it is legal or legitimate to not follow the teaching or follow it wrongly. If you follow the Buddha’s teaching wrongly or do not follow it, what kind of Buddhism are you following if it is not false or non-Buddhism?
For instance the Buddha teaches that it is wrong to take life (euthanasia is taking life, killing even insects is taking life) and so if you kill, aren’t you not following the Buddha or following wrongly? If this is not illegal according to you (nothing is illegal in Buddhism) then it is legitimate to kill in Buddhism which is preposterous because Buddhism says it is wrong to kill.
ALL RELIGIONS TEACHES WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG AND THERE CAN BE NOTHING WORSE THAN COMMITTING A WRONG ACCORDING TO THE RELIGION. IF IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO COMMIT A WRONG ACCORDING TO THE RELIGION THEN YOUR RELIGION PREACHES ‘EVERYTHING GOES’ OR NOTHING IS WRONG AND THAT IS MAD OR IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE ALL RELIGIONS PREACHES THAT THERE IS RIGHT AND WRONG AND SO WHATEVER IS WRONG IS ILLEGAL AND THERE IS ILLEGALITY IN BUDDHISM.
What the Buddha preached applies to everyone:
What the Buddha taught does not apply to Buddhists only, it applies to all beings not just humans but gods and animals, it does not matter if you are atheist, Christian, Muslim or Hindu, if you infringe on what the Buddha taught you are setting yourself up for suffering that may be a vast as an ocean and as long as an eternity.
Not only is there right and wrong in Buddhism but he taught right and wrong that embraced every aspect of a being and whoever departs from the Noble Eightfold Path: right view, resolve, mindfulness, effort, livelihood, concentration, speech and conduct is in danger of future suffering.
Thus even laziness and love of sleep is censured by the Buddha who says sleepiness and laziness is one of five hindrances that detain a being in suffering.
Again what Jesus said that woe to you who laughs for you shall weep applies to everyone who laughs, Muslim or Buddhist or Christian not just Christians.
THEREFORE ANYONE WHO SAYS THERE IS NOTHING ILLEGAL IN BUDDHISM IS MISREPRESENTING BUDDHISM. NOT ONLY IS THERE WRONG AND WHATEVER IS WRONG IS ILLEGAL, WRONG IS FAR MORE EXTENSIVE THAN IGNORANT PEOPLE PERCEIVE AND HE HAS DESCRIBED WHAT IS RIGHT UNDER THE NOBLE EIGHTFOLD PATH:
"And what is right view? Knowledge with regard to stress, knowledge with regard to the origination of stress, knowledge with regard to the cessation of stress, knowledge with regard to the way of practice leading to the cessation of stress: This is called right view.
"And what is right resolve? Aspiring to renunciation, to freedom from ill will, to harmlessness: This is called right resolve.
"And what is right speech? Abstaining from lying, from divisive speech, from abusive speech, & from idle chatter: This is called right speech.
"And what is right action? Abstaining from taking life, from stealing, & from sexual intercourse. This is called right action.
"And what is right livelihood? There is the case where a noble disciple, having abandoned dishonest livelihood, keeps his life going with right livelihood: This is called right livelihood.
"And what is right effort? There is the case where a monk generates desire, endeavors, arouses persistence, upholds & exerts his intent for the sake of the non-arising of evil, unskillful qualities that have not yet arisen... for the sake of the abandoning of evil, unskillful qualities that have arisen...for the sake of the arising of skillful qualities that have not yet arisen...(and) for the maintenance, non-confusion, increase, plenitude, development, & culmination of skillful qualities that have arisen: This is called right effort.
"And what is right mindfulness? There is the case where a monk remains focused on the body in & of itself -- ardent, alert, & mindful -- putting aside greed & distress with reference to the world. He remains focused on feelings in & of themselves...the mind in & of itself...mental qualities in & of themselves -- ardent, alert, & mindful -- putting aside greed & distress with reference to the world. This is called right mindfulness.
"And what is right concentration? There is the case where a monk -- quite withdrawn from sensuality, withdrawn from unskillful (mental) qualities -- enters & remains in the first jhana: rapture & pleasure born from withdrawal, accompanied by directed thought & evaluation. With the stilling of directed thought & evaluation, he enters & remains in the second jhana: rapture & pleasure born of composure, unification of awareness free from directed thought & evaluation -- internal assurance. With the fading of rapture he remains in equanimity, mindful & alert, physically sensitive of pleasure. He enters & remains in the third jhana, of which the Noble Ones declare, 'Equanimous & mindful, he has a pleasurable abiding.' With the abandoning of pleasure & pain -- as with the earlier disappearance of elation & distress -- he enters & remains in the fourth jhana: purity of equanimity & mindfulness, neither pleasure nor pain. This is called right concentration.
"This is called the noble truth of the path of practice leading to the cessation of stress.
The four higher states of mind:
According to the Buddha there is the ordinary state of the mind that is the default state of foolish stylish emotional beings enmeshed in this world and there are four higher states of the mind that are denied them, that they are unaware exist and they are superior with increasing freedom from suffering.
These higher states of mind must be cultivated, they will not instantly reveal themselves and even when sought, unless the wise disciple practices meditation correctly he may never experience these states. Thus you may meditate forever but if your mind is imbued with preoccupations about the world, selfishness, ill will, self identity views, you meditate with force not to dissociate your mind from force you will never attain these higher states of the mind.
The first higher state of mind: rapture & pleasure born from withdrawal, accompanied by directed thought & evaluation.
You can sit alone and still be involved in the world with sensual fantasy but if you are not only withdrawn physically but also mentally, you have set aside all your troubles and desires, then you will experience rapture of your body and mind that is accompanied by directed thought and evaluation.
The second higher state of mind: rapture & pleasure born of composure, unification of awareness free from directed thought & evaluation -- internal assurance.
There is rapture but it is now freed off all directed thought and evaluation.
The third higher state of mind: With the fading of rapture he remains in equanimity, mindful & alert, physically sensitive of pleasure. He enters & remains in the third jhana, of which the Noble Ones declare, 'Equanimous & mindful, he has a pleasurable abiding.'
The third higher state is characterized by equanimity or the absence of stirring of the person’s mental force to like or dislike whatever is happening. There is still pleasure, he is physically sensitive to pleasure. As the Buddha said, 'Equanimous (neither liking nor disliking) & mindful, he has a pleasurable abiding (there is still pleasure & pain).'
The fourth higher state of mind: purity of equanimity & mindfulness, neither pleasure nor pain.
With the fourth higher state his equanimity or neither liking nor disliking is pure and in addition he no longer experiences pain nor pleasure, he has entered a realm where there is no longer pain or pleasure, no longer any suffering.
Style precludes access to the higher mental states:
It does matter what religion you belong to, as long as you have style or use force to constantly stretch syllables, change speed and loudness that necessitates regurgitation and so you are a robot, you will never attain the higher states of the mind that will remain shut to you.
The road to attaining the liberating higher states of mind is the absence of the use of force to constantly stretch, change speed and strength that are not only meaningless, serves no useful purpose but is harmful to one’s mind and others and requires you become a mindless rehashing robot.
THUS BECAUSE EVEN THE HIGHEST PRIESTS LIKE THE DALAI LAMA EXHIBIT STYLE AND EMOTION, THEY HAVE NOT ATTAINED THE HIGHER STATES OF MIND THAT THE BUDDHA DESCRIBED, THEY HAVE FALLEN FAR SHORT AS ALLEGED DISCIPLES OF THE BUDDHA. EVEN THE LOIN CLOTH OR NAKED ASCETICS YOU SEE ALONG THE BANKS OF THE GANGES MANIFEST STYLE AND HAVE NOT ATTAINED THESE HIGHER STATES OF THE MIND.
A week is a long time in politics:
You hear many people bandy this cliché and it must be copied and regurgitated from each other without understanding that it is meaningless and irrelevant to the matter at hand.
What the person means is that politics is so fast moving, things can change so fast that things can suddenly change in one week. This is a falsification to exaggerate how volatile or fast moving politics is. It is driven by emotion (force) intended to stir emotion that nothing is certain in politics and things can change very fast even beyond recognition.
WHAT HAS THINGS CAN CHANGE VERY FAST OR A WEEK IS A LONG TIME IN POLITICS GOT TO DO WITH AN EVENT IN POLITICS THAT THE PERSON IS REFERRING TO? IT IS TOTALLY BESIDES THE POINT, AN UNNECESSARY MUSING OR DISTRACTION FROM THE MATTER AT HAND THAT IS NOT HARMLESS BUT IT IS CONTROLLED NONSENSE THAT WILL END IN MADNESS FOR THE PERSON AND HE HAS KARMA FOR TRYING TO INDUCE OTHERS TO PERCEIVE THAT A WEEK IS A LONG TIME IN POLITICS IS A RELEVANT OBSERVATION, IS INVOLVED IN THE MATTER AT HAND.
A week is just a week, not long or short:
A week is just what it says, ‘a week’, it is not a long time or a short time in politics or whatever else. ‘A week is a long time in politics’ is a fabrication driven by emotion (the person likes what he is saying, he thinks it is attractive or stylish or profound when it is nonsense) intended to stir emotion in others and it has nothing to do with meaning because it has no meaning.
A WEEK IS AN AGREED MEASURE OF TIME AND IT IS STANDARD, NEITHER SHORT NOR LONG BE IT IN POLITICS OR ANYTHING ELSE AND TO PERCEIVE THAT A WEEK IS A SHORT TIME IN POLITICS IS TO TRAIN YOURSELF TO PERCEIVE FALSELY THAT WILL END IN MAD PERCEPTION.
IF YOU LET YOUR YES BE YES ONLY AS JESUS COMMANDED YOU GO TO THE POLITICAL MATTER AT HAND, IF YOU DON’T, YOU BEAT AROUND THE BUSH, YOU DIGRESS, YOU SAY ‘A WEEK IS A LONG TIME IN POLITICS’ THAT IS TOTALLY IRRELEVANT AND FALSE AND YOU ARE COURTING INSANITY.
She is angry, sad and disturbed:
Thus she is experiencing three emotions together, anger, sadness and agitation and it is a potent cocktail that is not only suffering but conditioning and whoever you are, no matter how good mankind say you are, you are consigning yourself to future woe.
It is impossible that a person who has a calm clearly thinking mind can have an expression like this on his face and such an expression is a sign of danger even doom.
Charging Tiger takes early lead:
It is unlikely if not impossible that Tiger Woods can be charging at such an early stage of the championship.
Just because Tiger Woods is in the lead does not mean he is charging.
Charging means throwing caution to the wind or playing aggressively taking risks.
If in the latter stages of the tournament Tiger is far behind then it is possible that he will charge or play aggressively.
At such an early stage it would be reckless for Tiger Woods not to play a game of controlled aggression because charging risks wrecking his chances.
Air controller’s fatal phone call:
Apparently the air controller in a recent NY fatal air crash involving a plane and helicopter was on the phone when the crash occurred.
What he and others do not realize is that he may or will have to pay even with his life even many times in the future for a dereliction of duty.
You want to exist, you will not give up existence and you relish being a air traffic controller for the prestige and money it brings but you refuse and cannot see the existence comes with a very heavy price, even the man who calls his brother ‘you fool’ is in danger of the fire of hell and the Brahmin who sacrificed a goat had to be sacrificed as a goat 500 times.
For a being who craves existence, he should remind himself that existence is expensive and ordinary people have suffering due to them that is as vast as an ocean for debts they owe.
NHS attack by MEP 'unpatriotic'
Labour steps up its attacks on a Tory MEP who criticised the NHS on US television, with the health secretary calling it unpatriotic.
The only valid reasons for not criticizing something are because there is nothing to criticize or it is unbeneficial, there is no gain to criticize.
‘Un-patriotism’ is not a valid reason not to criticize and that person is courting mad logic and creating karma for inducing others to embrace false logic that they should not criticize because it is unpatriotic.
THE ONLY REASONS FOR NOT CRITICIZING IS THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO CRITICIZE OR IT WOULD NOT BE USEFUL OR BENEFICIAL TO DO SO, NOT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE UNPATRIOTIC TO CRITICIZE. ANYONE WHO PROMOTES PATRIOTISM AS A REASON FOR DOING OR NOT DOING SOMETHING IS COURTING FALSE LOGIC THAT WILL END IN MAD LOGIC.
191 Malays decide who is PM:
Quote RPK: 191 Malays (UMNO division heads) decide who becomes the Umno president. So 191 Malays also decide who rules over 27.7 million Malaysians. This is not democracy. This is power being concentrated in the hands of a very few. This is worse than colonialism. This is worse than having a Monarchy system. This is even worse than having the army ruling over Malaysia. Only 191 Malays decide the fate of all of us.
UMNO members do not vote for the president, it is the select few who are division heads, who can be much easily bought with money than ordinary members who decide who is UMNO president and thus PM.
THUS MALAYSIA IS A DEMOCRACY IN NAME BUT NOT REALITY BECAUSE BEHIND THE SCENES THE RULING ELITE CAN MANIPULATE THE SELECTION PROCESS SUCH THAT ONLY 191 MALAYS DECIDE WHO RULES MALAYSIA.
DPM weighs in on Ong-Tiong spat
PUTRAJAYA: Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has asked Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd CEO Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing and MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat to be cautious about making their current spat public as it would affect the image of the Government and Barisan Nasional.
Affecting the image of the government is not a valid reason for not making a spat public and so anyone who does so is practicing false logic (in the name of deceiving the public) that will end in mad logic. It is an admission of dishonesty, of hiding dirty linen from public view and that this is isolated dishonesty is impossible.
In what ways is it false?
The statement, ‘one week is a long time in politics’ is false in more than one way.
Firstly it is false logic that just because a major upheaval or many things can and did happen in one week therefore ‘by logic’ a week is a long time in politics. This is a dangerous false conclusion because even though many things can and did happen or there was a major unexpected upheaval, it does not shorten or lengthen a week.
YOU HAVE FALSE PERCEPTION IF YOU THINK THAT ‘MANY THINGS CAN HAPPEN OR A MAJOR POLITICAL UPHEAVAL CAN HAPPEN IN ONE WEEK’ IS SYNONIMOUS WITH ‘A WEEK IS A LONG TIME IN POLITICS.
Secondly, if even you accept the false logic and perception, there can be many weeks where nothing happens in politics and so it is false to say a week is a long time in politics; it CAN BE but it is not IS a long time.
Thirdly it is totally irrelevant, a diversion or waste of time and energy to say so, what has a week is a long time in politics got to do with what happened except to say stir poignancy (an emotion) that is blind and meaningless?
Fourthly what is so special about politics that a week is a long time? Is a week a short time in poetry or science?
IF WHAT I SAY IS TRUE AND PERTINENT, HOW COME PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY UNDERSTAND, FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT THEY SAY OR HEAR IS FALSE AND IN WHAT WAYS IT IS FALSE? THIS LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OR FALSE UNDERSTANDING IS NOT ABOUT EXOTIC TRUTHS BUT EVERYDAY TRUTHS OR FALSITIES IN WHAT IS SAID AND DONE BY THEMSELVES AND OTHERS AND SO IT IS THAT IT MAY BE A DELUSION THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND FALSELY AND THEREFORE DON’T UNDERSTAND, THEIR UNDERSTANDING IS PROGRAMMED ROTE REHASHED RULES LOGIC.
What is poignancy?
Often what people say is intended to stir poignancy and they perceive it as meaningful.
Poignancy is mostly sadness (the consciousness experience of a person’s mental force prolonging for the sake of prolonging) with some emotional agitation thrown in.
THUS POIGNANCY IS A FANCY WORD FOR SADNESS AND WHEN YOU WANT TO STIR POIGNANCY IN OTHERS YOU WANT TO STIR BLIND MEANINGLESS HARMFUL MENTAL FORCE AND SO YOU ARE INCURRING KARMA.
Japan’s economy leaves recession:
Such headlines that include ‘how France & Germany beat recession’ are misleading; they are too eager to celebrate what may not be in reality.
If you threw a cat down a cliff, it would bounce a bit after it hit the bottom and if you think that bounce is a recovery when it is a ‘dead cat bounce’, then you have false perception, you are too emotionally presumptuous to jump to unwarranted conclusion.
Just because it has reached the bottom does not mean it will recover to the top of the cliff or the bottom is not a ledge with further depths below.
Thus after this bounce of the bottom there may be further declines if fall is merely arrested by a ledge that have further depths to plumbs.
First in meditation then in life:
If you cannot achieve no thinking, neither liking nor disliking or neither pain nor pleasure in the seclusion of meditation, what hope have you of experiencing those states (possible) during daily activities under the incessant bombardment of force from others?
As a result of persistent CORRECT meditation, I can now do daily chores with sparse even periods of absent thoughts, experience neither liking nor disliking what I come into contact and even experience neither pain nor pleasure.
TO ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THE STATE OF NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE HE KNOWS IT IS AN INCOMPARABLE STATE TO EXIST IN COMPARED TO THOSE WHO ARE SUBJECT TO PAIN AND PLEASURE AND HE FEELS NO INCLINATION TO RETURN TO THE WOES OF THE PAST.
FOR ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THE STATE OF NEITHER LIKE NOR DISLIKE HE KNOWS IT IS AN INCOMPARABLE STATE TO EXIST IN COMPARED TO THOSE WHO ARE SUBJECT TO LIKE AND DISLIKE AND HE FEELS NO INCLINATION TO RETURN TO THE WOES OF THE PAST.
FOR ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THE BLISS OF NO THINKING, HE KNOWS IT IS A SUPERIOR STATE OF EXISTENCE COMPARED TO CONSTANT THINKING.
IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THIS STATES YOU MUST FIRST NURTURE THESE STATES THROUGH CORRECT MEDITATION TO CALM YOUR MIND.
CALMING YOUR MIND MEANS PURGING YOUR MIND OF ALL FORCE ACTIVITIES.
IT IS IN THE NATURE OF THINGS THAT A MIND FREE OF FORCE WILL BE CALM.
IT IS IN THE NATURE OF THINGS THAT A MIND THAT IS CALM WILL BECOME CONCENTRATED.
IT IS IN THE NATURE OF THINGS THAT A MIND THAT IS CONCENTRATED WILL BECOME EQUANIMOUS, NEITHER LIKING NOR DISLIKING.
IT IS IN THE NATURE OF THINGS THAT A MIND THAT NEITHER LIKES NOR DISLIKES WILL EXPERIENCE NEITHER PAIN NOR PLEASURE.
The vast majority meditate falsely because they apply force whilst meditation to calm and concentrate their minds instead of allowing force to dissipate by attrition which is why they never achieve any significant fruits.
Nevertheless the Buddha said meditate, don’t afterwards regret. Meditate and if you do it correctly to rid your mind of force then it is the nature of things that soon all thinking ceases (reward is 2 eons in heaven), you become equanimous or neither liking nor disliking (reward is 4 eons in heaven) and neither pain nor pleasure (reward is 500 eons in heaven). What you developed well in meditation can be translated into daily life and you will have a pleasant abiding here and a pleasant abiding after you die for many eternities.
The ten powers of the Buddha:
(No madman or fake can consistently lists his powers as the Buddha has done below in a way that is understandable by those who understand)
ânanda, these ten, are the powers of the Thus Gone One, endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching. What are the ten powers?
Emotional people with muddled thinking perceive what is impossible is possible and what is possible is impossible. The Buddha perceives in its entirety what is possible is possible what is impossible is impossible:
Here, ânanda, the Thus Gone One knows the possibilities as possibilities and the impossibilities as impossibilities. The knowledge of the Thus Gone One, knowing the possibilities as possibilities and the impossibilities as impossibilities is a power of the Thus Gone One endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.
The Buddha knows in its entirety the actions of karma, what actions gives rise to what fruits in pain and pleasure.
Again, ânanda, the Thus Gone One knows the acquirings of actions (karma) in the past, future and present according to place and reason, as it really is. The knowledge of the Thus Gone One, knowing the acquirings of actions in the past, future and present according to place and reason, as it really is, is a power of the Thus Gone One endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.
Again, ânanda, the Thus Gone One knows the method of going out of existence (all beings, including those in the highest reaches of heaven, are trapped in existence do not know the way out of existence, or going beyond all existing), as it really is. The knowledge of the Thus Gone One, knowing the method of going out of existence, as it really is, is a power of the Thus Gone One endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.
Again, ânanda, the Thus Gone One knows the innumerable and various elemental worlds (there are innumerable realms and the Buddha knows all of them), as it really is. The knowledge of the Thus Gone One, knowing the innumerable and various elemental worlds, as it really is, is a power of the Thus Gone One endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.
Again, ânanda, the Thus Gone One knows the various inclinations (tendencies) and settlements (basis) of beings, as it really is. The knowledge of the Thus Gone One, knowing the various inclinations and settlements of beings, as it really is, is a power of the Thus Gone One endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.
Again, ânanda, the Thus Gone One knows the range of movement of the mental faculties of other beings and great beings, as it really is (there is so much possibility of wisdom or understanding in certain beings and no more, some have wider ranges of comprehension than others). The knowledge of the Thus Gone One, knowing the range of movement of the mental faculties of other beings and great beings, as it really is, is a power of the Thus Gone One endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.
Again, ânanda, the Thus Gone One knows the defilements, purities and risings of the higher states of the mind (the higher state with thinking, higher state without thinking, higher state without like and dislike, higher state without pain or pleasure, the sphere of infinitude of space, consciousness and nothingness), releases and concentrated attainments, as it really is. The knowledge of the Thus Gone One, knowing the defilements, purities and risings of the higher states of the mind, releases and concentrated attainments as it really is, is a power of the Thus Gone One endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.
Again, ânanda, the Thus Gone One recollects the manifold previous births, such as one birth, two, three, four, five, ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, a hundred, a thousand, a hundred thousand births, innumerable forward world cycles of births, innumerable backward world cycles of births, innumerable forward and backward world cycles of births. There I was of this name, clan, disposition, supports, experiencing such and such pleasant and unpleasant feelings and with such a life span. Disappearing from there was born thereòhere I was of this name, clan, disposition, supports, experiencing such and such pleasant and unpleasant feelings and with such a life span. Disappearing from there was born here.....re... recollects manifold previous births with all details. Bhikkhus, the Thus Gone One recollecting the manifold previous births such as one birth, two births, ....re.... recollecting the manifold previous births, is a power of the Thus Gone One endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.
Again, ânanda, the Thus Gone One, with the purified heavenly eye, above human sees beings disappearing and appearing according to their actions, in unexalted and exalted states, beautiful and ugly, in good and evil states.-'These good beings misbehaving by body, speech and mind, rebuking noble ones, with wrong view and the wrong view of actions, after death are born in loss, in decrease, in hell . As for these good beings endowed with the right behavious in body, speech and mind, not rebuking noble ones, with right view, and the right view of actions, after death are born in a good state in heaven. Thus with the purified heavenly eye, above human sees beings disappearing and appearing according to their actions. The Thus Gone One, with the purified heavenly eye, above human seeing beings disappearing and appearing.....re......according to their actions, is a power of the Thus Gone One endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.
Again, ânanda, the Thus Gone One, destroying desires, releasing the mind from desires and released through wisdom, (beings in this world have not destroyed desires, have not been released through wisdom) here and now realizing abides. The Thus Gone One having destroyed desires, releasing the mind and released through wisdom abiding here and now is a power of the Thus Gone One, endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.
ânanda, these ten, are the powers of the Thus Gone One, endowed with which, the Thus Gone One wields the most important place among gatherings and roaring the lion's roar, sets rolling the noble wheel of the Teaching.
Everything is for show:
If you think something you do, as above is impressive, it attracts men and men tell you it attracts them, why bother to freshly compose each time when you would want to repeat as accurately as possible what men told you were attractive, so you would concentrate on converting yourself into a robot of reproduction by keeping practicing what you have been told is impressive until you got it perfect to a dot so that you can reel it like a carbon copy each time you have the urge to display yourself and thrill men.
THE FLIP SIDE OF SUCH BEHAVIOR IS THAT IT IS TORMENTING, THE URGE TO DISPLAY YOURSELF AND ATTRACT MEN BECOME INCREASINGLY COMPELLING AND IT IS MADDENING RATHER THAN A PLEASURE AS IT IS FAKED TO BE. SUCH BEHAVIOR ARE FORCED, NO ONE GENUINELY DOES IT BUT THEY USE FORCE TO FORCE THEMSELVES TO DO SO ACCORDING TO A PLAN. INITIALLY THEY FORCE THEMSELVES TO DO SO BUT INCREASINGLY THEY ARE FORCED OR HAVE A URGE TO DO SO. THEY ARE HEADED FOR CERTAIN INSANITY UNLESS THEY CHANGE OR ARE BORN ANEW, WHICH IS UNLIKELY IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE.
If it is impressive and you want to impress:
If something you say or do is perceived by you as impressive, others tell you (whether truly or falsely) it is impressive (it stirs their mental forces attractively) and you are desirous of impressing others, surely you will make effort to memorize as faithfully as possible what you said or did that is deemed impressive so that you can impress others again and again in future and you will keep collecting pieces of behaviour and speech that you find impressive and others tell you so that you soon have a considerable library of speech and actions (eg stylish golf strokes, impressive bombastic words and phrases) to dish out.
The meaning of what you say or do, whether it fits the occasion well or not takes a back seat, what is more important if not the only consideration is that what you say or do should impress, should stir others’ mental forces attractively.
THUS IF WHAT YOU SAY OR DO IS IMPRESSIVE, OTHERS TELL YOU IT IS SO AND YOU DESIRE TO IMPRESS OTHERS YOU WILL KEEP REPEATING IT AND IN THE PROCESS YOU BECOME A PARROT OR REHASHER OVER AND OVER AGAIN OF STEREOTYPED SPEECH AND BEHAVIOR WHICH IS ACTUALLY TORMENTING AND YOU ARE HEADED FOR CERTAIN MAD ROBOT FAILURE.
IT WILL BE MAD TO COMPOSE FRESH EACH OCCASION TO IMPRESS OTHERS BECAUSE WHAT YOU NEXT COMPOSED FRESH MAY NOT BE AS IMPRESSIVE AS WHAT YOU SAID OR DID IN THE PAST THAT OTHERS ALREADY TOLD YOU IS IMPRESSIVE.
AND WHAT MEANING THAT IS EVERLASTING IS THERE IN SAYING OR DOING THINGS THAT STIR YOUR AND OTHERS’ BLIND MENTAL FORCES ATTRACTIVELY? NO MATTER HOW YOU INSIST IT IS MEANINGFUL, SPEAKING AND DOING FOR SHOW IS MEANINGLESS AND CONTROLLED INSANITY.
You will be crazy to compose live to impress:
If you have committed yourself to impress others you will be crazy to compose live for each occasion because it takes more effort and what you freshly compose is not proven may not be as impressive or even fail or be deemed to be even embarrassing. Thus you will depend on what is well and tried, what you have rendered before that others tell you is impressive.
Further in order to impress others you will have to say or do things that others tell you is impressive, whether consciously or unconsciously they dictate what you say or do and since they tell you what you said or did in the past was impressive, you will be a fool not to memorize it and rehash it so that you can keep being in their ‘good’ books.
APART FROM THE STRAIN OF COMPOSING NEW EACH TIME, YOU RUN THE RISK THAT YOUR FRESHLY COMPOSED SPEECH OR ACTION MAY FAIL TO IMPRESS OR EEVN TURN UP A ‘BLOOPER’, MADE A FOOL OF YOU SO WHY NOT KEEP TO SPEECH AND BEHAVIOR THAT IS WELL TRIED AND TRUSTED TO IMPRESS AND THAT DE FACTO IS REHASHING AND BEING A ROBOT.
Impressing others is false meaning:
Saying or doing something to impress others is never genuine but false meaning because you can say many different things eg talk about your wife, child, car, house, profession with the same purpose or motive to impress others.
For something to have true meaning, what you say or do is what is meant, not to impress others. The substance of what you said or did is what is meant not to impress.
YOU CAN SAY OR DO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS WITH THE SAME PURPOSE OF IMPRESSING OTHERS AND SO IMPRESSING OTHERS IS NOT TRUE SPECIFIC MEANING. IN ANY CASE IMPRESSING OTHERS IS ABOUT STIRRING MENTAL FORCE ATTRACTIVELY, IF YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY STIRRED THE OTHER PERSON’S MENTAL FORCE ATTRACTIVELY TO YOU, YOU HAVE IMPRESSED HIM AND STIRRING BLIND MENTAL FORCE IS MEANINGLESS.
The hazards of rehashing:
Because what is rehashed is intended to impress others and it is reproduced from memory, anything that disrupts the process of retrieval and rehash can create even havoc and the person has performance anxiety, he is fearful that under the glare of attention, the rehashing stream may be broken or he may rehash something that is not quite appropriate and make a fool of himself.
THE PERSON WHO REHASH LIVES IN DREAD THAT THERE MAY BE DISRUPTIONS TO HIS REHASH THAT MAY OCCUR AT INOPPORTUNE MOMENTS OR MOMENTARY LAPSES LIKE STRESS, INEBRIATION MAY AFFECT HIS REHASHING THAT MAY MAKE A FOOL OF HIM.
NO MATTER HOW WELL HONE THERE WILL BE SITUATIONS THAT WILL PUT HIS REHASHING DETERMINATION TO TEST AND THREATEN TO UNRAVEL THEM.
Without transmitting force you cannot impress:
It is the force transmitted in what is said or done that impresses, pleases, intimidates and dominates others.
Without using and transmitting force to the recipient, he cannot be impressed, pleased, intimidated or dominated.
Impressing, pleasing, intimidating and dominating others have nothing to do with reason or meaning because whatever said or done that is intended to impress, please, intimidate or dominate are according to plans that are rehashed without understanding needed, even if understanding was involved in the formulation of the plan (may have been copied without understanding from others), it is not needed to rehash the memorized plan.
IN ORDER TO IMPRESS, PLEASE, INTIMIDATE AND DOMINATE OTHERS WITH WHAT YOU SAY OR DO, YOU HAVE TO STIR THEIR MENTAL FORCES AND ONLY FORCE CAN STIR FORCE AND SO YOU MUST TRANSMIT FORCE TO STIR OTHERS’ MENTAL FORCES.
When you want to impress others, you want to stir their mental forces to be attracted to what you say or do and by extension, you.
When you want to please others, you want to stir their mental forces to be attracted to themselves by what you say or do.
When you want to intimidate others (eg speaking angrily) you want to stir their mental forces to be fearful of you.
When you want to dominate others, you want to impose your mental force to overpower them to become submissive.
Only force can stir force in others and so in order to impress, please, intimidate and dominate others, the crucial ingredient is to transmit force in what you say or do in a way that will stir their mental forces in the desired direction, something that is not always so eg what you think is impressive may not impress him.
Whatever substance in what you say or do to impress, please, intimidate or dominate is secondary, are accessories or excuses dedicated to the primary intent of impressing, pleasing, intimidating and dominating others and even these substances can be copied without understanding from others or even if it is composed with understanding it may be false deluded understanding and once formulated, no more reasoning is necessary to render.
THUS THE ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT TO IMPRESSING OTHERS IS TO TRANSMIT FORCE THROUGH PROLONGING SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS IN WHAT YOU SAY IN A WAY CALCULATED TO STIR THE LISTENER’S MENTAL FORCE TO BE ATTRACTED TO YOU. ONCE HIS MENTAL FORCE HAS BEEN STIRRED ATTRACTIVELY TO LIKE YOU, YOU HAVE SUCCEEDED IN IMPRESSING HIM. WHATEVER SUBSTANCE YOU SAY THAT MAY DIFFER ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS DOES NOT MATTER, IMPRESSING OTHERS IS ALL ABOUT SAYING AND DOING THINGS IN A WAY THAT WILL STIR OTHERS’ MENTAL FORCE TO FIND YOU ATTRACTIVE. THERE IS NO SUREFIRE WAY OF IMPRESSING OTHERS, WHAT IS IMPRESSIVE TO ONE LISTENER MAY NOT BE IMPRESSIVE TO ANOTHER AND EVEN THE SAME LISTENER MAY NOT BE IMPRESSED IF HIS MOOD (PROLONGED EMOTIONAL STATE) IS FOUL.
It is style that makes something impressive:
There is nothing intrinsically impressive about being a doctor, lawyer or president. It is the style that accompanies in terms of how the person dresses or his appearance (eg white clothes, tie, stethoscope dangling), how he does (examines stylishly) and say things (eg use fancy words) that stir gullible people’s mental forces to be attracted or impressed.
There is nothing pleasing about telling a girl she is pretty but it is the style, the way you say it with force prolonging, changing speed and loudness and false substance eg, “Ooooh, yoou’rreee ssooooo ppreeeettttyyyy!!!” that stirs the foolish girl’s mental force to be pleased.
IT IS STYLE THAT MAKES SOMETHING SAID OR DONE IMPRESSIVE AND STYLE IS ALL ABOUT HOW YOU USE FORCE TO PROLONG, CHANGE SPEED AND STRENGTH AND THEREFORE IT IS FORCE THAT IS INVOLVED IN IMPRESSING AND BEING IMPRESSED.
Pleasing others is conveying you like them:
Pleasing others is essentially conveying to them that you like them or your mental force is stirred attractively by them.
In order to convey that you like someone you must say things that (always falsely) flatter in a way that indicates that your mental force has been stirred attractively by their presence. This is accomplished by speaking or doing with eagerness or excitement (due to force prolonging accelerating in speed and strength as if you are attracted) that tells the foolish recipient that his presence stirs your excitement or eagerness or enthusiasm.
THUS IF YOU SPEAK OR DO SOMETHING IN A WAY THAT GIVES THE IMPRESSION THAT YOUR MENTAL FORCE IS STIRRED ATTRACTIVELY BY HIS PRESENCE SO THAT HIS MENTAL FORCE IS STIRRED ATTRACTIVELY TOWARDS HIMSELF, YOU HAVE PLEASED HIM. PLEASING IS ALL ABOUT USING FORCE TO STIR THE MENTAL FORCE OF ANOTHER TO BE PLEASED WITH HIMSELF THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MEANING OR NOTHING UNDERSTANDABLE.
CONVERSELY IMPRESSING OTHERS IS TO MAKE THEM LIKE YOU.
A person’s main theme:
Emotional people have a main theme that is consistent in them and differs from others.
Whilst the behaviour of stylish people is for show to impress, please, intimidate and dominate others, each person has a consistent main theme.
For instance, some people are devoted to impressing others, whatever they say or do, how they dress or pose is calculated to impress others that they are likeable, superior and attractive, they want others to be attracted to them.
Yet others are devoted to pleasing others, whatever they say or do is to give an impression they like everybody they meet. They keep smiling and saying or doing things eagerly as if they like you.
Again there are those with a constant scowl or menace in their facial expression and puffed up body that is intended primarily to intimidate and get what they want from others by bullying.
REFLECTING THEY ARE ROBOTS AND MORE RIGID THAN THEY THINK, WHAT IS FOR SHOW FROM STYLISH PEOPLE IS NARROW SPECTRUM, THEY HAVE A THEME OR CERTAIN ACT DEDICATED TO IMPRESS, PLEASE OR INTIMIDATE AND THEY SELDOM STRAY FROM THAT ACT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT IN CHARGE, THEY ARE SLAVES TO THEIR WELL HONE ACTS.
Profiling Malaysia’s PMs:
Dr M is the foremost exponent of those whose show is to impress others and want others to be impressed with them. They do little or nothing to please others and the universe revolves around them and they are what others call egotists. Included in this category in a less obvious way is Najib and his father.
Badawi is more the person who seeks to please others and in this category too will fall Hussein Onn and Tunku Abdul Rahman. What people call nice guys and gals usually fall into this category wanting to please others or appear as if they like you.
Rosmah versus Jeanne:
Rosmah is the epitome of someone who wants to impress and wants others to be impressed with her whilst Jeanne Badawi is the opposite, someone who likes to please others (which was why she was often seen with sunglasses to hide her discomfort with publicity.
It is unlikely if not impossible that a person given to self glorification can truly please others, has any concern for others and so it is virtually anathema for those dedicated to impressing others to stoop to please others and the converse is also true that those dedicated to pleasing others seldom want to impress.
Unrequited or spurned efforts to impress leads to wrath in a person dedicated to impressing others whilst unrequited pleasing leads to feeling hurt.
IN TRUTH NEITHER IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER, IT IS FALSE (DELUDED) AND EVIL TO IMPRESS OR PLEASE OTHERS, BOTH ARE CONTROLLED TORMENT THAT LEADS TO UNCONTROLLED TORMENT.
Two kinds of impressionists & pleasers:
There are two different types of impressionists, people devoted to impressing others and wanting others to be impressed with them.
There is the unabashed conceited egomaniac who thinks very highly of himself (Dr M is in this category) and is thus driven to always want to impress and want others to be impressed with them.
There is another type of impressionist who is inadequate, who must find reassurance in getting others to like them. Because he feels inadequate in himself he seeks to impress others and get upset or hurt if he fails to impress or others are not impressed by him.
Similarly there are two types of ‘pleasers’, there is a type who is submissive and have a subservient urge to please others and there is the manipulative pleaser who will say and do things to please others to get what he wants. He is good at flattering others, good at ‘carrying balls’ in an aggressive confident way not without purpose but to get some reward for his endeavours.
EXACTLY WHETHER A PERSON IS TRYING TO IMPRESS YOU OR PLEASE YOU CAN BE KNOWN, IF YOU CANNOT TELL OR YOU PERCEIVE HE IS TRYING TO PLEASE YOU WHEN HE IS TRYING TO IMPRESS YOU, YOU ARE A FOOL WHO DOES KNOW WHAT HE SEES. IN ADDITION WHETHER THE IMPRESSIONIST IS A SUPREME EGOTIST OR INADEQUATE IMPRESSIONIST, WHETHER HE IS A SERVILE PLEASER OR MOTIVATED PLEASER CAN BE KNOWN TO THE DISCERNING OBSERVER.
PLEASING AND IMPRESSING DO NOT MIX WELL, A PERSON WHO IS AN IMPRESSIONIST SELDOM OR POORLY PLEASES AND VICE VERSA.
Herbert: This is reform?
He sees nothing wrong, thinks he is good but he is committing sin.
He is questioning, driven by dislike or emotion that is blind. What he is trying to say is that he finds what is touted as reform incredulous.
If you see and know it is not reform, then you are right to say, “This is not reform”. He is doubting, using force to question that is fostering doubt and uncertainty in himself and others that leads to future woe, says the Buddha.
Scarred by the fury of a woman:
It is not the fury of a woman that scarred the man but it is the furious woman who did so.
By saying so, you will have to falsely imagine the fury of the woman scarring the man.
The person is trying to be too clever to impress to put his message in a way that stirs emotion.
Tiger Woods A Poor Sport:
Anyone who thinks Tiger Woods is a good man is deluded. He is nasty and will do anything to win. Even hell awaits him and thereafter eternal wanderings.
Quote:
Some have reported that he swore, which I didn’t hear, and stood a few times in Yang’s line of sight, which I didn’t notice. But I did see some episodes of bad behaviour. At the seventeenth, Woods rudely walked to the next tee with half the crowd following and causing a commotion, before Yang had finished the hole. Instead of the hush that he would have preferred, the eventual winner had to putt as if he were on a train station concourse.
Then on the last hole, Woods missed a chip that could have forced a play off. At that point his opponent had two putts from 10 feet to win, a certainty at this level. Tradition and convention dictate that Woods, whose ball was nearer the hole, should nonetheless have played first, leaving the stage for the winner to putt out and receive the acclaim of the crowd. But it didn’t happen that way. Yang putted, holed out and won, and then had to wait while Woods putted again and missed.
The Buddha said there are things that are possible and things that are impossible. It is impossible for an aggressive sportsman like Tiger Woods to be genuinely good, they are only putting on a show of wholesomeness that is easier if they are winning but when thwarted their fangs come out and they will do anything to sabotage, intimidate or make it hard for their opponents.
According to the above, Woods unfairly stood in the line of Yang’s sight, he walked off, drawing the crowd with him disrupting Yang’s unfinished putt and he refused to putt first so that Yang could finish the round as champion.
Jackson’s doctor: The truth shall prevail
Why is the statement false and driven by emotion not reason?
It is false because he has no power to make the truth prevail and so he has no right to say the truth shall prevail (after the enquiry).
What he is trying to say is that he is innocent and that conclusion will prevail.
If he knows he is innocent, then he should say I am innocent or did no wrong, the truth shall prevail is to falsely give the impression that objectively the truth is that he is innocent and by truth prevailing he will be found innocent.
IF THE TRUTH IS THAT HE IS CULPABLE THEN THE TRUTH SHALL PREVAIL WOULD MEAN HE IS FOUND GUILTY BUT IT IS NOT THIS THAT HE HAS IN MIND BUT WHAT HE HAS IN MIND THAT HE WANTS OTHERS TO ACCEPT IS THAT THE TRUTH IS HE IS INNOCENT AND IT SHALL PREVAIL AND VINDICATE HIM. HE HAS NO POWERS TO ENSURE THAT THE TRUTH SHALL PREVAIL AND SO HE IS SPEAKING UNRIGHTEOUSLY. THE MAN WHO IS RIGHTEOUS MERELY SAYS I AM INNOCENT IF HE KNOWS HE IS INNOCENT.
Speak the truth not for truth:
One should speak the truth not for truth.
If you speak the truth then you say you are innocent (if that is true), if you speak FOR truth you say, the truth shall prevail (and vindicate me).
It is dangerous to speak for the truth because you may not see the truth and what you call the truth may not be so. For example you may see your actions in relation to Michael Jackson’s last hour as blameless but the truth may be it is blameworthy. You may perceive falsely that your style and smile is good for you and others when it is the opposite, false and harmful to yourself and others. Thus you are deluded to say the truth is my smile and style is benevolent.
SPEAK THE TRUTH AS YOU SEE IT (AND EVEN THAT COULD BE FALSE), DO NOT SPEAK FOR TRUTH THAT IT SHALL PREVAIL AND WILL VINDICATE YOU BECAUSE NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO SPEAK FOR TRUTH BUT HE ONLY HAS A RIGHT TO SPEAK FOR HIMSELF WHETHER TRULY OR FALSELY.
EVEN THOUGH YOU WERE THERE, YOU MAY NOT EVEN KNOW THE TRUTH OF WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED, WHAT YOU PERCEIVE AS THE TRUTH OF WHAT HAPPENED MAY BE VERY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT TRULY HAPPENED SO HOW CAN YOU SPEAK FOR THE TRUTH THAT IT WILL VINDICATE YOU?
Not a mystery but simple to understand:
It is not a mystery but simple to understand why impressing, pleasing and intimidating are mutually exclusive and the person becomes dedicated to one but never all of these entities.
When you are impressing others (eg boasting) you cannot be pleasing (making others like themselves) or intimidating them and because impressing, pleasing and intimidating are robotic plans backed by force they are addictive or conditioning so that each time you boast, it reinforces your urge to boast so that in time it becomes frequent and then constant and when impressing becomes constant, there is no room for pleasing or intimidating others. Thus others (spouses or children) must always please people who are boasters or impressionists, they never please others.
WHILST YOU ARE IMPRESSING OTHERS YOU CANNOT BE AT THE SAME TIME PLEASING OR INTIMIDATING THEM AND IF YOU KEEP PRACTICING IMPRESSING OTHERS, IN TIME IT BECOMES CONSTANT AND THEN THERE IS NO ROOM FOR PLEASING OR INTIMIDATING OTHERS AND YOUR LIFE IS ONE BIG BOAST, ONE BIG EGO TRIP, ONLY THE INTENSITY OF BOASTING VARIES AND RATHER THAN UNADULTERATED PLEASURE IT IS CONTROLLED INSANITY THAT WILL END IN UNCONTROLLABLE INSANITY.
National Fatwa Committee: Only Allah decides whether one goes to heaven or hell
It reflects the false logic of those who issue this statement that is intended to refute what Nik Aziz said as false.
The teaching has been declared and based on the teaching, a discerning person can tell who is going to heaven or hell. Therefore just because only Allah decides who goes to heaven or hell does not mean no one else can tell who is going to heaven or hell and therefore the person is speaking falsely.
The Buddha said that such a person is taking a path that will end in hell meaning that by his actions, a discerning being, not necessarily God can predict with CERTAINTY the person is headed for hell.
GOD DOES NOT CUT SPECIAL DEALS WITH ANYONE, BY YOUR WORD AND ACTION YOU WILL BE CONDEMNED OR EXALTED AND SO EVEN IF IT IS ALLAH WHO DECIDES WHETHER YOU GO TO HEAVEN OR HELL, IT IS YOUR WORD AND ACTIONS THAT CONDEMN YOU AND IT IS NOT NECESSARILY ONLY GOD BUT DISCERNING BEINGS CAN ALSO TELL WHO IS GOING TO HEAVEN OR HELL.
The Buddha:
"By encompassing mind with mind I understand a certain person thus: 'This person so behaves, so conducts himself, has taken such a path that on the dissolution of the body, after death, he will reappear in a state of deprivation, in an unhappy destination, in perdition, in hell.' And then later on, with the divine eye, which is purified and surpasses the human, I see that on the dissolution of the body, after death, he has reappeared in a state of deprivation, in an unhappy destination, in perdition, in hell, and is experiencing extremely painful, racking, piercing feelings. Suppose there were a charcoal pit deeper than a man's height full of glowing coals without flame or smoke; and then a man scorched and exhausted by hot weather, weary, parched and thirsty, came by a path going in one way only and directed to that same charcoal pit. Then a man with good sight on seeing him would say: 'This person so behaves, so conducts himself, has taken such a path, that he will come to this same charcoal pit'; and then later on he sees that he has fallen into that charcoal pit and is experiencing extremely painful, racking, piercing feelings. So too, by encompassing mind with mind...piercing feelings.
(EVEN IF IT IS GOD AND NOT BUDDHA THAT SENDS A MAN TO HELL, THE BUDDHA SAYS HE CAN TELL IF A MAN IS HEADED FOR HELL)
You exaggerate to impress or please:
In order to impress others or boast, you exaggerate the importance of whatever you say or do, whatever you experience or are associated with, that you identify with (eg your hobby, your preferred golf). Everything you say or do seems so exciting or fun, whatever happens to you seems so fun, superior & purposeful.
‘I drive a Mercedes’, ‘I live in Damansara Hts’, ‘I am a doctor’, ‘I play golf’ may be just factual statements but it is usually if not always proffered to impress or boast.
‘You’re so pretty, rich, charming’, ‘How are you feeling’, ‘I’m so sorry you were delayed’ are meant to please others.
When you are impressing others, boasting “I drive a Mercedes’ you cannot be at the same time pleasing others “you’re so pretty” and so it is that impressing (boasting) and pleasing are mutually exclusive and if you keep boasting, it is conditioning or addictive so that in time it is automatic that you will seize any occasion to beat your own drum.
YOU CANNOT SAY OR DO SOMETHING TO SIMULTANEOUSLY BOAST, PLEASE OR INTIMIDATE BUT SOMETHING SAID OR DONE IS SPECIFICALLY, EXCLUSIVELY TO BOAST, PLEASE OR INTIMIDATE AND IT IS THE NATURE OF THINGS THAT A BEING BECOMES GOOD AT ONE OF THE TRIAD, BOASTING, PLEASING OR INTIMIDATING BUT NEVER ALL, IN FACT SOME BECOME TOTALLY DEVOTED TO BOASTING (MEGALOMANIACS) WHILST OTHERS BECOME DEVOTED TO PLEASING (SERVILE YES MEN) AND INTIMIDATING (SCOWLING BRUTES).
One cable, no mercy:
‘One cable, no mercy’ is a falsification said to impress or boast.
Dell is marketing a desktop and this slogan is falsely intended to boast or impress (not please). It is not one cable but you need the software to transfer all the data from your old computer to the new one. What has mercy got to do with a total transfer of everything to the new computer? It may not work out so wonderful in practice too.
IF ONE CABLE, NO MERCY IS SAID FALSELY TO BOAST (IMPRESS) AND YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT ITS INTENT, YOU THINK IT IS TO PLEASE YOU THEN YOU ARE A FOOL WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS SEEING.
A LOT OF THINGS SAID OR DONE ARE NOT TRUE, ARE INTENDED JUST TO IMPRESS (BOAST) AND PLEASE AND IT IS CLEARLY KNOWABLE TO THE DISCERNING PERSON. OFTEN THE FOOL HIMSELF DOES NOT REALIZE HE IS TRYING TO BOAST OR PLEASE. PEOPLE USE BOMBASTIC WORDS JUST TO IMPRESS.
