Taking leave of your senses:

Quote: Mr Anwar told a crowd of about 800 people: "If you build a temple near a mosque, I'll be in favour of pulling it down. But if you pull down a 100-year-old temple, I'll say you must have taken leave of your senses."

People like to think they are such great speakers of the truth but they are trying to impress others. “You must have taken leave of your senses” is a stylish way of speaking or using colourful language aimed at impressing others, is stirring the emotion (to laugh or see it as funny) and you are therefore a slut, prostituting yourself in the name of popularity. If you can see others are slut, why can’t you see that you too are a slut, carrying others’ balls? If you think you can carry others’ balls to heaven you may be a fool.

If you let your yes be yes only or call a spade a spade, you say ‘you must be mad’ and even that is scoffing at the other person. Rightfully you say, “You are wrong to pull down an existing temple”.

I am ashamed of injustice:

Quote Anwar: I am ashamed of all the injustices.

You never hear Jesus or the Buddha saying they are ashamed of anything because being ashamed, the opposite of pride is all about the stirring of mental force to be repulsed or disliking of all injustices.

Why should your mental force be stirred by the perception of injustice. Your reason or disapproval that has nothing to do with shame should be awakened or arise.

Ask Anwar whether he finds what he said meaningful and he is likely if not certainly say “Of course” and thus he has advanced false perception that will lead to mad perception that something that is all about the stirring of mental force, namely ashamed is true, good and meaningful when it is false, bad and meaningless.

I disapprove of all injustices:

I disapprove of all injustices is a statement based on reason without emotion.

I am ashamed of all injustice is an emotional statement that is addressed to the listener’s emotion and is a statement based on force that is meaningless, false and harmful to self and others.

You think you don’t like to think?

Quote: "What a horrible thing if you suddenly realised you were a turkey in November"

What is said above is totally unnecessary and is deliberately fabricated in a way as to stir humour or emotion in the reader. The idea is that ‘turkey’ in November equal being slaughtered for Christmas and the thought of this horrible prospect is funny to perverted people.

You have to think to give birth to this idea and think to say it in a way that will sound humorous to others and as a result you are conditioning yourself to thinking that you do not realize will detain you in suffering leading around in a maze that has no way out and the only way out is above, to refuse to go around but look up and jump out of the maze.

When people look for new ways or ideas of how to cook turkey or fish, they are also thinking and conditioning themselves to thinking.

When they are fascinated by this universe and think of fabricating theories about how it originated and progressed, they too are bonding themselves to thinking that will end in heartbreak, suffering and renewed becoming.

IT IS IGNORANCE COUPLED WITH DELUSION (CONCEIT) THAT MAKES PEOPLE CLUELESSLY HOOKED TO THINKING JUST AS PEOPLE ARE HOOKED TO SMOKING OR ALCOHOL NOT REALISING THAT LIKE ALCOHOLICS THEY ARE DOOMED TO DROWN IN THE SORROWS OF THINKING THAT LEADS AROUND IN CIRCLES.

Who cares if you disapprove of injustice?

A person upon hearing that I disapprove of injustice may retort to himself or others, “Who cares if you disapprove of injustice” thinking he is making a reasoned statement and justified in what he said when he is making an emotional or force false statement that is irrelevant to the situation.

All words have agreed meaning and whenever words are strung together they convey a sum of meaning that may be true (what it is intended to be) or false (a lie or make no sense) or the words may have been hijacked by force or emotion to become merely a vehicle to transmit force or attack the other person. Just as you can use a knife to attack another, you can use words to attack another in which the meaning of the words used does not matter but it is the attack conveyed that matters to the issuer.

“Who cares if you disapprove of injustice” is always a false statement designed to attack, belittle or scoff. If you are in doubt or think it is a valid statement then you have false perception that will end in mad perception.

“WHO CARES IF YOU DISAPPROVE OF INJUSTICE” IS HYPOCRITICAL AND UNJUSTIFIED BECAUSE INSTEAD OF SAYING HE (AND NOBODY ELSE) DOES NOT CARE ABOUT MY DISAPPROVAL OF INJUSTICE (THAT MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE SHARED BY EVERYONE) HE IS ASKING A QUESTION (THAT REQUIRES AN ANSWER) THAT IMPLIES NOBODY CARES THAT I DISAPPROVE OF INJUSTICE. IF GOD CARES THEN YOU HAVE BEEN PRESUMPTUOUS AND LIABLE FOR PUNISHMENT FOR INSOLENCE.

WHAT HE MAY HAVE MEANT IS THAT MY DISAPPROVAL OF INJUSTICE CARRIES NO WEIGHT (IS POWERLESS), DOES NOT ACHIEVE ANYTHING, WILL NOT CORRECT INJUSTICE IN WHICH CASE HE DID NOT SAY WHAT HE MEANT AND HE IS AGAIN A HYPOCRITE.

IN ANY CASE, ‘WHO CARES IF YOU DISAPPROVE OF INJUSTICE’ IS AN INAPPROPRIATE RESPONSE (REACTION) BECAUSE I AM MERELY STATING I DISAPPROVE, I DID NOT ASK YOU OR ANYONE TO CARE FOR MY DISAPPROVAL OF INJUSTICE AND YOU ARE PRACTICING CONTROLLED MADNESS IN THE NAME OF PUTTING ME DOWN TO THINK THAT ‘WHO CARES IF YOU DISAPPROVE OF INJUSTICE’ IS RELEVANT OR A REASONABLE ADDITION TO THE ISSUE.

WHETHER ‘WHO CARES IF YOU DISAPPROVE OF INJUSTICE IS BASED ON FORCE OR DERISION OR BASED ON TRUE REASON MAY BE OBJECTIVELY KNOWN AND IF IT IS BASED ON DERISION YOU MUST EXPOSE YOUR MIND TO FORCE AND THENCE PAIN, IT WILL CONDITION YOUR MIND TO FORCE THAT WILL END IN MADNESS AND DEGRADATION AND SHOULD THERE BE A GOD WHO DISAPPROVES OF INJUSTICE, HE WILL PUNISH YOU FOR NOT CARING AND TALKING BIG AS IF EVERYONE SHARES YOUR VIEW IN NOT CARING.

Thus the person who says (even gently with a smile that belies his evil intent), “Who cares if you disapprove of injustice” as if my disapproval of injustice is worthless might be smug that he is on solid ground but he is putting his head on the chopper block because it is based on force not reason to attack or belittle that subjects his mind to painful and conditioning force, his comment is inappropriate (because I never asked him to care or if he cared about my disapproval) and he is therefore practicing inappropriate responses that will end in madness, he is un-righteously asking a question that troubles others to answer and implies falsely that everyone will not care just like him.

MY DISAPPROVAL OF INJUSTICE MAY NOT CARRY ANY WEIGHT (BECAUSE IT IS NOT BASED ON FORCE OR THREATS) BUT NEITHER DOES YOUR ANGER OR HATE OF INJUSTICE THAT WILL ONLY STIR MORE DISCORD THAT MAY HARM INNOCENT BYSTANDERS WHEN NATURAL JUSTICE IS INEVITABLE. INSTEAD MY DISAPPROVAL OF INJUSTICE WILL SERVE AS AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS TO FOLLOW THAT THEY SHOULD CONDUCT THEMSELVES WITH JUSTICE IN WHATEVER THEY SAY OR DO BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY OUT OF SUFFERING, YOU WILL NEVER ESCAPE ACCOUNTABILITY BY YOURSELF AND BY GOD IF YOU ARE UNJUST IN YOUR ACTIONS.

Kiss me:

You hear misguided parents and adults cajole a child, “Kiss me, come on, kiss me, kiss me” thinking they are good and training the child in goodness when they are coercing the child to put on a show, go against its will or lie, to kiss or call someone ‘uncle’ just to appease others.

It is because as children, they have forced to say or do certain things, even with a certain style that initially repulsed them that people have become so well induced into the habit of appeasing or pleasing others, of going against themselves to use force and suspend their reason to say or do things that they truly did not have any wish to say or do. If you keep suspending your reason, it is finally permanently shut and the person become a robot regurgitating speech and deeds recorded in his mental jukebox in the name of impressing or pleasing others.

If a child wants to kiss you or call your name it will do so by itself. Often the request is facetious merely for the ‘thrill’ of seeing others obey your commands and if you are asking someone to kiss you when you do not desire to be kissed you are practicing controlled madness that will end in madness.

When Judas kissed Jesus it was not intended as it was to demonstrate his love or fondness but it was to tell the soldiers who Jesus was and thus here, Judas is lying with an act, he is not kissing Jesus out of love but using his kiss as a secret signal to point out Jesus to the soldiers.

Downplaying her death:

If it is true as reported that the Pakistan government is trying to downplay Ms Bhutto’s death as bumping her head whilst evading an assassin’s bullets then the over enthusiasm in downplaying her, even in death suggests that President’s Mussharraf’s government itself has vested interest in seeing her demise.

She is not blameless, she was said to be a party girl in her Oxford days and till the end she spoke with an arrogant fieriness that stirred emotions.

Bhutto died 'bumping her head'

A TOP aide to slain Pakistan opposition leader Benazir Bhutto has rejected the government's explanation of her death as a "pack of lies".

The Pakistan interior ministry said Bhutto died when she hit her head on her vehicle's sunroof as she ducked after a gun and suicide attack on a campaign rally, and that no bullets or shrapnel were found in her.

"It is baseless. It is a pack of lies,'' said Farooq Naik, Bhutto's top lawyer and a senior official in her Pakistan People's Party.

"Two bullets hit her, one in the abdomen and one in the head.

"Bhutto's personal secretary Naheed Khan and party official Makhdoom Amin Fahim were in the car and they saw what happened.

"It is an irreparable loss and they are turning it into a joke with such claims. The country is heading towards civil war.''


Exclusive: Eyewitness account of Bhutto's assassination

Interior ministry spokesman Javed Cheema said earlier that the post-mortem on the populist opposition leader found her mortal wound came when she tried to duck after the bomber attacked.

He said the bomber fired at her but missed, and that her critical injury came when she hit the lever of the sunroof of the car she was in, as she waved to supporters after a campaign rally on Thursday.

"The lever struck near her right ear and fractured her skull,'' Cheema said.

"There was no bullet or metal shrapnel found in the injury.''

He said intelligence services intercepted a call from a top al-Qaeda figure for Pakistan, Baitullah Mehsud, who he said was behind the attack as well as a suicide bombing on Bhutto's homecoming rally in October that killed 139 people.

"The government is now claiming that Baitullah Mehsud is responsible,'' Naik said. "What is the evidence?''

He added: "She was taken to hospital. She was bleeding. It was a serious security lapse.''

Bhutto's death has unleashed a wave of unrest in Pakistan, with at least 33 people killed and countless buildings and vehicles torched.

Hundreds of thousands of people attended her funeral Friday.

Many mourners blamed President Pervez Musharraf, whose popularity has been plummeting, for at the least failing to protect her.

The government has said that Bhutto had been given warnings that Islamist militants were out to get her. Cheema, the interior ministry spokesman, told AFP earlier Friday that Bhutto was on an Al-Qaeda "hit list''.

Tiger taunted & father has wrong view:

It is suggested below that the three youths taunted the tigress by dangling a foot into the enclosure, the fence was less high than it should be and animals like humans can be provoked and they got what they asked for.

The father of the dead boy has wrong view (that leads to hell or the animal womb) to say that taunting or not nobody deserves to die like this. Taunt and should you die as a result of enraging the animal, you asked for it.

Cats are capable of leaping quite great heights as I discovered that this limping male cat out of my expectation could jump up a considerable wall without a run up.

US maul tiger was taunted

A tiger which killed a teenager and mauled his two friends may have been taunted by them, police said yesterday.

Carlos Sousa, 17, died after Tatiana escaped from her compound at San Francisco Zoo and went for him and two brothers, aged 19 and 23.

Police later found a shoe and blood between a gate and the the tiger's moat and believe a victim may have been dangling his leg into the enclosure.

But Carlos's dad, also called Carlos, said: "I don't think this deserves to happen to anybody, taunting or not." It emerged that the wall around the moat was 4ft lower than rules allow.

Cheap shot:

Whether the bullets actually killed her or she died evading the bullets, the fact of the matter is that shots were fired at her and she would not have died if nobody was firing at her and this attempt at splitting hairs, at painting that she was a coward dying whilst evading death is a cheap shot and if the person did not verify that there were indeed no bullets on her body, he himself may have his alleged bravery tested in the future.

Presumption:

Bush has already blamed terrorists for the assassination of Ms Bhutto whilst other governments, eg Singapore has already pointed its finger.

It is not clear who pulled the trigger. It could be that Musharraf wanted to get rid of a rival. Is he classified as a terrorist?

Thus it is presumptuous to blame terrorists and fundamentalists and anyone who does so is not man of truth but emotion and a liar.

More karma than you think:

As a result of provoking the tigress, he not only got himself killed but he got the tigress killed and caused everyone much trouble that would not have happened if he did not taunt the tigress and so the man’s karma is far greater than people perceive.

Similarly by driving recklessly people cause an accident that causes a jam affecting many people and afterwards rather than moving to the side, they argue and refuse to budge not realizing they are creating horrendous karma for themselves.

He who saves his life will lose it:

Jesus: He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.

For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

Unless you are a very exceptional person, your life here can only be your act here, how you fabricate style in whatever you perceive, think, speak or do to impress, please and intimidate others, your attachment to your (beautiful or handsome) body, your possessions (including ‘loved’ ones), your status, your sensory pleasures, your opinions that differ from others that are in truth delusions and petty. Because all these are false and stressful, if you find your life here, you are an empty person.

The person who finds his life is the person who is occupied with his life here, his career, his possessions, wife and children, his identity (doctor), opinions and achievements.

You will only save your life here because you find it meaningful and are attached and have no confidence that there is life after death.

In truth the vast majority of people including those who are religious are attached to their (petty) lives here, they cherish their identities, who they are, their opinions and possessions and they do not believe they will perish in delusion.

Again Jesus said you cannot go to heaven unless you are born again, which indicates as they are, people will never go to heaven and it takes a fundamental change to go to heaven.

Such a fundamental change would be if they stop liking and disliking, shed their pervasive style in everything they perceive, think, speak and do, namely the use of force to stretch, change speed and strength of force.

IT IS BECAUSE LIFE HERE IS VIRTUALLY ALL ABOUT HYPOCRISY AND BEING HARMFULLY PRETENTIOUSLY NICE NOT GOOD TO EACH OTHER AND THE LIVES OF PEOPLE HERE ARE THEREFORE FALSE AND PETTY, IF YOU WILL SAVE IT, YOU FIND YOUR LIFE HERE MEANINGFUL THEN YOU WILL LOSE YOUR LIFE.

WHATEVER THE TRUTH THERE IS IN EXISTENCE IS EMBODIED OR REPRESENTED BY JESUS (THE BUDDHA IS ON THE SAME PATH BUT HE IS AS HE SAID, EVEN HIGHER AND IF YOU QUESTION THAT WITHOUT KNOWING OR SEEING, YOU ARE ASKING FOR TROUBLE) AND THUS IF YOU WILL FIND YOUR LIFE OTHER THAN HIM, YOU WILL FIND LIFE IN FALSITY AND FOOD THAT PERISHES AND WILL THEREFORE HEAD FOR FALSITY AND PERISH.

Benazir fingers Musharraf:

According to report, Benazir Bhutto emailed Wolf Blitzer of CNN saying that Musharraf has motive to kill her and should she die, the email should be made public.

Is Musharraf classified as an extremist or Taleban or Al Qaeda?

Thus it is presumptuous, a defilement of the mind to blame these for her murder when it is not confirmed who did it.

Rumour mills working overtime:
Can you see rumours zipping around, rumours fuelled by cheap cell phone calls and rumour mills working overtime?

If you cannot, then they are not just fabrications of the writer’s imagination or false intended to impress but they are reproduced from memory usually copied from others because they sound impressive to people who worship style.

Rumours may circulate around that has no connotations of speed but to perceive rumours zipping around at rapid speed is flirting with fantasy that will end with loss of contact with reality and madness.

There are grain and steel mills but there are no rumour mills, the term rumour mills working overtime is a hackneyed phrase that he copied from others and regurgitated by rote from his mental jukebox and he is thus a robot not just here but everywhere.

A person who likes to speak in hackneyed terms, in clichés is not worth listening to and so it is that perusing what he wrote, I find little I can trust as information devoid of hype on his part.

If you yourself is a showman or showgirl then it is not surprising that you will be attracted to the way he expresses things.

Bhutto Conspiracy Theories Fill the Air

By Simon Robinson/Lahore

If you believe the rumors that zip around (very impressive but can you or he see the rumours zipping?) Pakistan in the aftermath of one of the country's depressingly (why should he be depressed and want others to share his depression? It is totally unnecessarily to speak of depression and it is to exaggerate and be emotional) regular outbreaks of violence, it's all America's fault. Or India's. Or Israel's. Or it's those Afghan-based militia who keep sneaking across the border. Fueled (assisted or facilitated would be more based on reason and not so colourful) by cheap cell phone calls and the rise of 24-hour television news channels, gossip about who is to blame for Pakistan's woes runs from the reasonable to the ridiculous.

In the 24 hours since a lone attacker assassinated former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, the rumor mill has again been working overtime (can you see rumour mills and them working overtime?). In Karachi, amid reports of rioting and sabotage, stories circulated that the city's water supply had been poisoned and people were afraid to drink it. There were also the conflicting accounts of how Bhutto died — from bullet wounds or from a bomb blast that followed or from fracturing her skull against her car's sun-roof as the assailant blew himself up. In the confusion of reports, many Pakistanis are pointing the finger of blame at President Pervez Musharraf and his allies in Washington.

There is no evidence to suggest that Musharraf or Pakistan's security forces were connected to the attack (He seems eager to absolve Musharraf and the US). On jihadi websites, al-Qaeda claimed the assassination was their work and intelligence officials in both Pakistan and the U.S. agree that Islamic extremists from al-Qaeda or the Taliban were probably responsible for the devastating attack (It is not devastating except in the perverted perception of his mind, anyone who can be devastated is headed for devastation himself). But as Musharraf's popularity has slipped badly, moderate and religious Pakistanis alike have begun to blame him for the increasing chaos in their country — and to trace every incident directly to his rule and his high-profile allies. "This assassination was fabricated by the present government," says Liaqat Baloch, a senior official in Jamaat-e-Islami, one of Pakistan's main Islamic parties. "It is part of the American strategy to scare people that Pakistan is falling apart."

At a time when Pakistan does indeed seem to be falling apart, it may seem absurd and even pointless to repeat such allegations. But the sentiments provide a powerful insight into how angry Pakistanis are at their President and how mistrustful they are of the U.S. At the least, says retired Lieutenant General Hamid Gul, the former director general of Pakistani intelligence organization Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), "it's very convenient for the security forces to call it a suicide bomber because they can cover up the possibility someone else was behind the attack." Gul, who has become a harsh critic of Musharraf over the past year, believes America is partly responsible for its current predicament. "If America continues to act selfishly and unwisely, well, there is hardly any good that has come out [of their help] either for the U.S. or Pakistan, and this will continue."

[As ISI chief, Gul helped run the Afghan mujahideen as a force to counter and eventually defeat the Soviet Union in the 1980s; later he helped establish the Taliban in Afghanistan. He also organized the guerrillas fighting the Indian army in the sections of Kashmir held by New Delhi.]

With such mistrust, rumors thrive. On the streets of Lahore Friday afternoon, many blamed Musharraf and the U.S. rather than Islamic extremists for Bhutto's demise. White-haired Mohamed Sharif, 61, who runs a sidewalk barber's shop using a rusty old metal table and a worn mirror, says the "rumor is that America is involved in this with Musharraf's help." A passerby butts in with his agreement: "America and the government are in the same direction, they are allies," says Sabir Hussain. "If the government is doing this it is on the order of America."

Lahore is a stronghold of opposition leader and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, and is home to plenty of Bhutto supporters as well. In a place that's so heavily anti-Musharraf, innuendo seems to feed on itself. On the city's main street, lined with policemen holding batons and wearing anti-riot gear, two teenagers out for a walk say they have also heard about a possible government connection to the attack but cannot offer any evidence to back up the claims. "My mother told me not to talk about this topic on my mobile or telephone because the government may tape it," says Hafiz Jamshaid, 18, a computer science student at a local college.

Across town, in a park in the tony neighborhood known as Defense Housing Authority, or DFA, four business associates discussed Pakistan's future after their regular afternoon walk. "People are afraid to air their opinions but as far as I know America sent Benazir and later killed her with the help of Pervez Musharraf," says M.A. Mohamed, who runs a car parts company. "I can confirm this idea." His friend and colleague Talat Mumtaz interjects: "No, no. no, America likes Benazir. Why would they kill her? You're being ridiculous."

"No one knows what are the facts," complains Constable Jafar Hamid, proudly showing off his English as he guards a McDonald's outlet, closed against possible rioting. So where do all the rumors come from? "We don't believe in one thing, we don't think like a nation," he says. "Everybody has his own opinion and that is part of the problem."

Joking is trivializing falsity and enjoying it:

If what is said or done is the truth it would not be called a joke but the truth.

Thus joking consists of trivializing falsity and finding it fun or laughing at the misfortune or sufferings of others.

Thus rather than meritorious, joking is not just appreciating falsity but finding it ‘fun’, rather than empathizing with the sufferings of others, you find their suffering ‘fun’.

Thus you are a fool if you think you will be rewarded for your jokes when you will be punished.

The man who is regularly joking, always trying to see the funny side of thing is the man who has found his life here and will lose it.

So the only excuse for you to make is that your joking and appreciation of joking is ‘sedate’, in moderation and wholesome (you only appreciate ‘clean’ jokes), you are only putting on a show or lying that you appreciate jokes just to get along.

Right for the wrong reasons:

You can be right for the wrong reasons and rather than mitigating, it is self deception and still wrong view.

For example the Malaysian foreign minister referred to the riots and murder of Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan as the reason why Malaysia is intolerant of demonstrations here.

He is right that demonstrations are dangerous but his motive or reason is wrong. If the masses stay obedient then the ruling party will be assured perpetuity in its rule and whatever shenanigans it may perpetrate behind the scenes and so he may be exploiting the situation to justify his unjust actions.

Again there will be those who are also critical of the pope, in particular what he said about the environment but it may not be based on impartial appraisal of what he says and does but because they do not like him or the Catholic church.

YOU MUST BE RIGHT FOR THE RIGHT REASONS BECAUSE IF YOU ARE RIGHT FOR THE WRONG REASONS IT MEANS YOU ARE A DECEPTIVE MAN WITH ULTERIOR OR FALSE MOTIVES. BEING RIGHT FOR THE WRONG REASON MAY BE NO BETTER THAN BEING WRONG AND MAY BE EVEN WORSE BECAUSE YOU DECEIVE OTHERS.

Bizarre logic:

Quote: The assassination of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto shortly after she held a political rally showed why Malaysia was against street demonstrations, said Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar.
It is impossible that Benazir was killed in the heat of the moment as a result of stirred passions but it was pre planned because the person carried a gun and strapped himself with a bomb and they would have attempted to kill her even if there was no rally.

The minister is suggesting that the emotional provocations of the rally caused the killing.

THUS BECAUSE HIS REASONING IS BIZARRE HE HAS PROVEN HIMSELF TO BE AN OPPORTUNIST TRYING TO CAPITALIZE ON SOMETHING THAT HAS HAPPENED.

THE FACT THAT HE CAN UTTER THIS BIZARRE STATEMENT INDICATES HE HAS ADVANCED FALSE LOGIC THAT WILL END IN MAD LOGIC.

A suave Taliban?

Even in the name of camouflage it is unlikely that a Taliban or Al Qaeda operative will wear western clothes and sunglasses that they have sworn hatred for but it is in keeping with a careless plot using a westernized intelligence operative who forgot to don costumes more in line with a Muslim fundamentalist, not realizing that his image could be captured on photos that the assassin is caught in clothes that suggest his paymasters.

Caught in the act: assassin shooting Bhutto

By Omar Waraich in Karachi

Published: 31 December 2007

Dramatic new photographs taken seconds before the murder of Benazir Bhutto cast serious doubt on the Pakistan government's official account of the death of the former prime minister. The three photographs – first published by Pakistan's Dawn News – appear to reveal Ms Bhutto's assassin advancing towards her vehicle, drawing out a pistol, and firing it at close range as the handful of security personnel duck for cover.

The government says that she was killed by a lone attacker as she left an election rally in the city of Rawalpindi. Citing medical reports, it says she was killed when a blast set off by a suicide bomber smashed her head into a lever on the sunroof of her bullet-proof vehicle as she ducked down. Bhutto's opposition PPP party has dismissed the Interior Ministry's account as lies.

In the latest images, the suspected assassin is shown to be a young man of Pakistani origin in his early twenties. He is clean-shaven, wearing sunglasses, and dressed in black tie and waistcoat.

In the first photograph, he is captured looking towards the camera with another man – suspected to be a suicide bomber – standing behind him with a scarf across his face. The second photograph shows the suspected assassin raising his pistol in the direction of Ms Bhutto's vehicle.

The final image shows Ms Bhutto's supporters and security personnel lowering their heads in reaction to the gun shots. Ms Bhutto has dropped back down into the car. And the suspected suicide bomber is yet to detonate his device. According to experts, the photographs – taken by an amateur – appear to confirm the PPP's version of events. Ms Bhutto's party has said that she died after being shot in the head and the neck, just before a suicide bomber killed himself and at least 20 PPP supporters.

Javed Iqbal Cheema, a spokesman for the Ministry of Interior, has claimed that Ms Bhutto had died after slamming her head against the sunroof after climbing out to wave at crowds while leaving an election rally in Rawalpindi.

Sherry Rehman, the PPP's information secretary, dismissed Mr Cheema's account as "dangerous nonsense". Ms Rehman was in the car when Ms Bhutto died and when her body was bathed before burial.

"She has a bullet wound at the back of her head on the left side. It came out the other [side]," said Ms Rehman, who was injured when she was thrown out of the car by the blast. "That was a very large wound, and she bled profusely through that. She was even bleeding while we were bathing her for the burial. The government is now trying to say she concussed herself, which is ludicrous."

Yesterday, Asif Zardari, Ms Bhutto's husband, demanded that the United Nations and the British Government be allowed to lead an investigation into her murder. President Musharraf is considering calls for an international, independent inquiry.

The more likely scenario:

It is more likely the case of an intelligence operative who foolishly forgot to don a Taliban disguise thinking he and all the evidence will be blown to bits or he rather liked to ‘go out in style’ (meaning in sunglasses and trench coat) than the case of a meticulous Taliban who even planned to the last detail of disguising himself as an intelligence operator.

Therefore the fact that the assassin was caught in picture wearing western clothes and sunglasses that would be anathema for any self respecting Taliban implies that it may be somebody less radical or fundamentalist but nevertheless desperate to get rid of her that wanted Benazir dead.

Can the Taliban order the fire brigade to hose the scene?

Neither the Taliban nor Al Qaeda can order the fire brigade to hose the scene but someone in the government can do so and so unless the hosing is a thoughtless act or ‘accident’, the fact that it happens indicates the plot to kill Benazir must originate from the government.

Mental & physical hurts:

There are only two kinds of hurts or pains, physical and mental.

Physical pain or hurt is due to physical contact with objects transmitting force that is not necessarily mechanical (punch) but can be radiant (hot sun or ‘bitter cold’) or chemical (burning acid).

Mental or virtual pain is solely dependent on the fact that all ordinary people (but not necessarily all people or the Buddha) possess mental force that can be stirred helplessly by others to self inflict pain and it is precisely because people know that they can provoke others to self inflict pain that they say or do certain things in certain ways they know will hurt others and may hide their pleasures at knowing the other person will be thus hurt. However whoever must say or do things in certain ways that hurt others must himself also be hurt because he must apply the same forceful prolonging, accelerating changes of speed and strength that will hurt his own mind but he summons his considerable force of self preservation to dampen or suppress the hurt not realizing that the hurt he generates in himself in order to hurt others is only under control that will ultimately slip from his control either acutely in a panic or in old age degeneration and he is headed for terrible torment.

Vindictive and hurtful people know only too well WHAT they can say or do and HOW they can say or do will hurt others and the combination of what and how they say or do that can hurt others must be painstakingly acquired, perfected by regular practice until it becomes so slick it needs no thinking or paying attention except to press the ‘start’ button.

For example what they say that they know can hurt others is to ask many questions especially of a personal nature that would embarrass the other person to answer and they relish seeing others squirm trying to answer. Because their intention is not to know the answers to the questions they ask but to make others suffer, they must use force to fake genuine interest and use force to suppress their delight at others’ suffering (use force to lie to themselves and others).

How they say or do things that can hurt others can only be the way with which they use excessive force to prolong, change speed or strength eg to speak in an angry or hypocritically concerned way that belies the intent of what they say that is intended to hurt and confuse the recipient that what is said is hurtful but the way it is said is friendly.

Whereas physical pain lasts as long as the physical application of force, mental pain can be regenerated almost indefinitely if the person keeps revisiting the hurtful words or deeds and it conditions the person to hurt and thus the person who say or does hurtful things is not only guilty of inflicting pain but conditioning the person to mental pain that he may never get out and the karma is therefore far graver than he imagines.

IT IS EVEN MORE WICKED TO SAY HURTFUL THINGS IN A FRIENDLY MANNER (STYLE) THAT CONFUSES THE GULLIBLE TO THINK YOU ARE BEING FRIENDLY WHEN YOU WANT TO HURT COMPARED TO THE PERSON WHO MAKES NO BONES ABOUT WANTING TO HURT YOU WITH HIS WORDS. THUS ANYONE WHO THINKS HIS FRIENDLY MANNER OF SPEECH MEANS HE HAS NO INTENTION OF HURTING IS A DELUDED FOOL PUTTING A NOOSE AROUND HIS NECK HE THINKS IS A LAUREL.

The Buddha said he is unshaken by whatever happening like a rocky mountain is unmoved. He can either be faking it, hurt but lying that he is not (as ordinary people can suppress expressions of their hurt with force) or he is genuinely unhurt like water does not stick to a lotus flower.

The reason the Buddha is genuinely not hurt unlike ordinary people is because he has practiced to uproot his mental force that is now extinct and therefore cannot be stirred by others to self hurt himself and rather than boredom and suffering, joyful is the man who has no mental force that can be hijacked by others to hurt himself.

Family values promote world peace:

The pope is quoted as saying that family values are key to world peace, in his New Year's Day Mass.

This is a dangerous, false statement to make that promotes false perception in yourself and gullible people.

There can be no peace so long as people including those who possess family values have ill will that is the source of their likes and dislikes and emotions. So long as a person has likes and dislikes, is emotional, there can be no peace with himself or any other persons.

There are many different family values, even gangsters subscribe to family values so does that mean that the family values of these gangsters are a key to world peace?

You will be judged for every careless word you say and the wise person will not make sweeping statements that may sound emotionally gratifying but you cannot be sure is true.

CAN YOU BE SURE THAT FAMILY VALUES IS A KEY TO WORLD PEACE, IF EVERYONE ADOPTED FAMILY VALUES, THERE WILL BE WORLD PEACE?

Cause and cure:

If A is the only cause of B then true logic tells you that the only cure for B is the elimination of A and nothing else.

Thus if the constant use of force to prolong is the only cause of sadness that leads to depression then the only cure of sadness is to stop using force to prolong your syllables and units of motion, anything else (eg meditation, tai chi, yoga, prayers) is false and fruitless vexation that leads to insanity.

If the constant use of force to accelerate in speed and loudness is the only cause of feeling hurt at what others say or do then the only cure of feeling hurt is to stop using force to change speed and loudness of your syllables and units of motion, anything else (eg meditation, tai chi, yoga, prayers, faking you are not hurt when you are, suppressing your hurt) is false and fruitless vexation that leads to insanity.

If the stress, restlessness and distraction that you experience is due to the use of force to prolong, change speed and loudness in your speech and motion then the only cure for stress, restlessness and distraction is to stop using force to stretch, change speed and loudness. Anything else is fruitless vexations that lead to insanity because it is delusion.

All beings must dislike stress:

BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE CAUSE OF STRESS AND IT IS THE USE OF FORCE TO STRETCH, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS THAT NECESSITATES YOUR POSSESSION OF MENTAL FORCE THAT CAN BE STIRRED BY OTHERS’ BEHAVIOR, IF YOU THINK YOU CAN CURE STRESS BY TM MEDITATION, TAI CHI, EXERCISE, HEALTH FOODS, DRUGS, PRAYERS, YOGA, TAI CHI OR WHATEVER ELSE YOU MIGHT NOMINATE, YOU HAVE FALSE PERCEPTION AND DELUSION THAT WILL END IN MADNESS, HELL OR THE ANIMAL WOMB. IF YOU ARGUE THAT YOU ARE NOT TRYING TO CURE BUT MERELY CONTAIN OR MANAGE STRESS, YOU ARE A FOOL BECAUSE STRESS IS CONDITIONING (PAY ATTENTION AND YOU MIGHT OBSERVE STRESS SUDDENLY RISING SHARPLY IN YOU AND THIS IS DISPROPORTIONATE INCIPIENT MAD STRESS) AND BY FOOLISHLY TRYING TO MANAGE STRESS, YOU ARE FURTHER CONDITIONING OR ADDICTING YOURSELF TO STRESS THAT FURTHER WARPS AND DEGRADES YOUR MIND.

It is their wickedness and toughness (capacity to absorb the self and others’ infliction of pain without flinching or withdrawing) abetted by their foolishness and denial that cause beings trapped here to heedlessly use unnecessary force in whatever they perceive, think, speak or do and as a result of this use of force together with relentless constant extrinsic force bombardment ensuing from the audiovisual output of others, they must experience rising stress, restlessness and distraction that they must regularly release by withdrawal, substance abuse (alcohol, smoke, drugs) or sleep.

And it is a reflection of how recalcitrant & foolish beings are, how ensnaring this world of the senses is, how well beings in the lower realms detain each other in suffering that the Buddha said there have already been countless eons lasting virtually countless years, you have shed blood greater than the four great oceans from having your head cut as animals and humans, you will build a pile of skeleton as high as a mountain over each eon.

Although some may like to think they are different, all beings here from insects to animals to humans are basically the same in that there is always a style present in them that is consistent in them but differs from others in how they use force to stretch, change direction, speed and strength of force and it is this constant use of force that is unnecessary but necessary for show to deceive, impress, please, intimidate and dominate others that is the root to the insoluble renewing stress, restlessness and distraction they must all suffer from and mandates that they must exist as robots constantly rehashing whatever they want to say or do or perceive or think from a mental jukebox rather than fabricating live specific for each occasion.

No matter how wicked or tough a being (capacity to absorb abuse or pain), all beings here must dislike (hate, angry, resent) the stress, restlessness and distraction that beset them as a result of their false stylish behaviour because stress, restlessness and distraction are painful, conditioning (addictive) and are slowly killing them even if they cannot see it is so. It is not surprising that beings who are constantly using force to fabricate their styles in speech and motion will also use force to dislike or hate or be angry with the stress, restlessness and distraction that hounds them and as a result of using force to dislike they are further conditioning themselves to the use of force.

The use of force to fabricate style that leads to stress that leads to use of force to dislike is like a mad carousel that keeps getting faster and faster with time so that it gets harder and harder to get off without killing yourself by being flung off violently so that once a person is inducted onto the mad carousel of force, he is doomed to suffering and death to come back again and again to the same.

The only way to get out of this torment and madness is to look for the machine room of this mad carousel to apply the brakes to slowly bring your personal mad carousel to come to a stop and then calmly get out of it, never to return.

IT IS POSSIBLE NOT TO USE FORCE TO DISLIKE ARISEN STRESS OR TO NOT USE FORCE TO (FOOLISHLY) ATTEMPT TO DRIVE OUT THIS STRESS BY DISENGAGING ONESELF TO ALLOW THE ARISEN MENTAL FORCE TO SLOWLY DISSIPATE SUCH THAT IN THE FUTURE YOU ARE SO SKILLFUL YOU DO NOT EVEN ALLOW MENTAL FORCE TO RISE BUT IT IS A TEMPTATION TOO HARD TO RESIST FOR FOOLISH TOUGH GOATS THAT FACED WITH MOUNTING STRESS, THEY MUST DISLIKE IT AND ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IT OUT WHEN WHAT THEY ACHIEVE IS SUPPRESSION THAT WITH AN INEVITABLE WEAKENING OF THEIR FORCE OF SELF PRESERVATION WILL RESULT IN A REBOUND OF STRESS WITH A VENGEANCE THAT MAKES THE PREVIOUS STRESS ‘A CAKE WALK’.

TO BEINGS INURED TO USING FORCE TO FABRICATE STYLE (THE ANGRY, SAD, EAGER OR GENTLE WAY YOU SPEAK IS STYLE THAT REQUIRES USE OF FORCE) IN WHATEVER THEY PERCEIVE, THINK, SPEAK AND DO, IT IS TO BE EXPECTED THAT THEY WILL ALSO USE FORCE TO DISLIKE OR HATE THEIR RISING STRESS AND THEY WILL FOOLISHLY TRY TO USE FORCE TO DRIVE OUT THE STRESS THAT AT BEST SUPPRESSES OR POSTPONE IT TO A LATER EVEN WORSE RECKONING.

THE KEY TO GETTING OUT OF THIS MADNESS THAT WILL END IN TRAGEDY IS TO PAY ATTENTION TO NOT USE FORCE TO STRETCH SYLLABLES (I .... LOVE YOU ... IS PROLONGING THE PAUSES), CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS THAT WILL PREVENT STRESS RISING. WITHOUT STRESS RISING WHY SHOULD YOU DISLIKE OR HATE STRESS OR USE FORCE TO FOOLISHLY ATTEMPT TO DRIVE OUT THE STRESS?

NO ONE CAN USE FORCE TO DRIVE OUT ARISEN STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION. WHAT THEY ACHIEVE IS TEMPORARY SUPPRESSION AND POSTPONING THE RECKONING. THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT OF STRESS IS TO STOP STOKING THE FIRES THAT CHURN OUT STRESS BY NOT USING FORCE TO STRETCH, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS AND ALLOWING ARISEN FORCE TO SLOWLY DISSIPATE.

THE ONLY CAUSE OF STRESS IS THE BEING’S FOOLISH USE OF FORCE TO PROLONG, CHANGE SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE TO MANUFACTURE STYLE THAT NECESSITATES THEY MUST HAVE RESIDENT MENTAL FORCE THAT CAN BE STIRRED TO BE STRESSED BY THE TRANSMISSION OF FORCE IN THE AUDIOVISUAL OUTPUTS OF OTHER BEINGS. BECAUSE THE ONLY CAUSE OF THEIR STRESS IS THEIR UNNECESSARY USE OF FORCE, THE ONLY CURE IS THE CESSATION OF THIS USE OF FORCE TO PROLONG, CHANGE SPEED AND STRENGTH. THERE IS NO OTHER RECOURSE OR CURE AND IF YOU THINK THE ANSWER IS TO USE FORCE TO DRIVE OUT THIS ARISEN STRESS, YOU ARE A FOOL BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE AND HAVE FALSE PERCEPTION THAT WILL END IN MAD PERCEPTION.

Thinking is a curse never a blessing:

Because it is possible for a being to exist consciously without thinking (even if you have never experienced it and have no idea what it might be like) and it is an incomparably woe free present state of existence compared to the woeful distracted state of constant thinking existence; thinking is never a blessing but a curse and trap.

To people who are in truth a slave to their thinking, cannot help thinking, thinking is a natural and inescapable condition of existing and just as wrong thinking can get you into a lot of trouble and even get you killed, relatively correct thinking can get you out of trouble or ‘sticky’ situations but by itself thinking can never deliver you from stress, restlessness and distraction that are its very products.

There is a way permanently out of a being’s suffering in terms of stress, restlessness, distraction, sadness and feeling hurt but it has nothing at all to do with thinking.

What is this way permanently out of suffering that has nothing to do with thinking?

Do you need to think to pay attention, see and undertake corrective action?

In fact rather than essential, thinking is inimical to paying attention & seeing because distracted by thoughts, you fail to pay attention and see something even right before your eyes as when someone cursorily looked right but distracted by thought failed to see a car and get knocked down.

If you agree that thinking is out of the loop in the above cited activities, all you need to do is pay attention to how you speak and see that you are stretching your syllables, changing speed and loudness (not frequently but even constantly) and thus seeing to undertake corrective actions not to stretch, change speed and loudness and if you truly succeed then you will be effortlessly, permanently freed from stress, restlessness and distraction and thus freed, you will have little need to think about things and you can now stop your thinking at will because it is now not attended by force that is required to stretch the syllables, change speed and loudness of what you think that gives your thoughts momentum that is hard if not impossible to stop. Emotional people actually never ever stop thinking, they may become distracted to change the topic of their thoughts or force themselves to switch topics but they never ever stop thinking because their thinking is like a perpetual motion process.

TO PEOPLE WHO ARE SLAVES OF THEIR EMOTIONAL THINKING THAT HAS CONSTANT FORCEFUL STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES, CHANGES OF SPEED AND LOUDNESS THAT ARE OFTEN FRIVOLOUS, ARGUMENTATIVE, UNRELATED TO THE MATTER AT HAND, THEY ARE COMPLETELY UNAWARE THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO GO ABOUT YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES WITH MINIMAL EVEN ABSENT THOUGHTS AND HOW THIS IS NOT DUMB BUT INCOMPARABLY BLISSFUL AND SANE, IS A WAY TO RELEASE FROM THIS WORLD OF SUFFERING EVEN NEVER TO RETURN, THEY THINK THINKING IS A BOON, IS ESSENTIAL WHEN IT IS THEIR THINKING THAT OFTEN GETS THEM INTO TROUBLE AND SOMETIMES FORTUITIOUSLY THEIR THINKING GET THEM OUT OF TROUBLE BUT THEIR THINKING CAN NEVER EFFORTLESSLY AND PERMANENTLY RELEASE THEM FROM STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION.

PAYING ATTENTION TO SEE YOURSELF STRETCHING SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS AND THEN CORRECTING YOURSELF HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THINKING AND WILL RELEASE YOU FROM STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION AND BECAUSE YOU THUS NO LONGER USE FORCE TO STRETCH THE SYLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS OF YOUR THOUGHTS, YOUR THOUGHTS BECOME PASSIVE, UNEMOTIONAL AND IS EASY TO STOP WHEN NOT REQUIRED.

THE DEVIL WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE THAT THINKING IS GOOD FOR YOU AND OTHERS AND YOU FALL FOR IT LIKE A SUCKER.

THINKING IS LIKE A MAZE THAT ONCE IN, THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY OUT AND THERE ARE DEAD ENDS AT EVERY TURN AND FAILURE TO GET OUT OF THE TRAP MEANS SUFFERING, HEARTBREAK AND DEATH EVEN AGAIN AND AGAIN. THOUGH THEY MAY SOMETIMES PINE FOR AN ESCAPE, TRAPPED BEINGS DO NOT REALIZE THERE IS A WAY OUT AND IT IS IN A PLACE THEY NEVER THINK ABOUT. NO MATTER HOW MUCH FORCE YOU EXERT YOU CANNOT STOP YOURSELF THINKING BECAUSE THAT APPLIED FORCE ONLY BONDS YOUR MIND FURTHER TO FORCE. NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU THINK YOU CANNOT ESCAPE SUFFERING BECAUSE YOUR THINKING ONLY CONDITIONS YOURSELF FURTHER TO SUFFERING.

THE SECRET OF ESCAPING SUFFERING IS TO SIMPLY PAY ATTENTION TO SEE FORCEFUL PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE THAT WILL RELEASE YOU OF STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT THUS DISENGAGES FORCE FROM YOUR THINKING SO THAT IT NOW LACKS THE MOMENTUM TO KEEP GOING ENDLESSLY.

HOW CAN EVIL THOUGHTS OCCUPY YOUR MIND WHEN YOU ARE NOT THINKING? IF YOU CANNOT STOP THINKING THEN EVIL THOUGHTS MUST SPONTANEOUSLY OR UNDER PROVOCATION ENTER YOUR MIND AND THUS YOU CAN BE INCITED TO COMMIT EVIL SPEECH AND DEEDS WITH KARMA DUE.

Constant thinking is controlled madness:

It is impossible that one should need to think all the time and it reflects the person is a slave not master of his thoughts and there is added force in his thoughts that has inertia that makes them impossible to stop and he is practicing controlled madness in thinking that will end in madness.

PEOPLE ARE IN TRUTH THINKING ALL THE TIME, NOT A MOMENT OCCURS WHEN THEIR MINDS ARE FREE OF THOUGHTS.

WHETHER THEY ARE MASTERS OF THEIR THOUGHTS WHICH ARE FREE OF CONTROL & SPONTANEOUS OR THEY ARE HELPLESS SLAVES OF THEIR THOUGHTS WHICH THEY CONSTANTLY STRIVE TO CONTROL, SOMETIMES BETTER THAN OTHER TIMES MAY BE OBJECTIVELY KNOWN.

IF IT IS THE TRUTH THAT IT IS THEIR THOUGHTS THAT DRIVE THEM AND THEY ARE MERELY CONTROLLING THEIR THOUGHTS THEN THEY ARE PRACTICING CONTROLLED MADNESS BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT A BEING NEEDS TO THINK ALL THE TIME AND THEY ARE DOOMED FOR LOSS OF CONTROL AND THE MADNESS OF UNCONTROLLABLE THOUGHTS.

THE FACT THAT THEIR THOUGHTS ARE OFTEN FRIVOLOUS OR SILLY AND ARGUMENTATIVE, NOT RELATED TO THE MATTER AT HAND SHOULD WARN THEM OF THE DIRE CONSEQUENCES AWAITING THEM.

THUS IF YOU THINK CONSTANTLY, YOU CANNOT STOP YOURSELF THINKING (SO THAT YOU CANNOT SLEEP) AND THERE IS FORCEFUL PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS IN YOUR THOUGHTS, YOU ARE HEADED FOR LOSS OF CONTROL AND MAD THOUGHTS.

Clearing your throat:

There are some people who clear their throats or grunt or cough or sneeze more than others. Exactly what is the nature of their clearing, grunting, coughing or sneezing may be known, whether there is a physical basis or there is even violent acceleration of speed and strength of force intended to lash at someone present or it is provoked by a thought that displeases the person.

No one enjoys hearing such clearing of throats or grunts or sneezes and if the person is lashing out, he is creating karma for himself each time he does that and it reflects he is not a master of himself but a slave of emotion that can be provoked to lash out by clearing his throat or grunting and he is headed even for another eternity of perdition.

KEEP ON TURNING A BLIND EYE TO YOUR CLEARING OF THROATS, SNEEZING OR GRUNTING OR JUSTIFY YOURSELF BY SAYING IT IS BECAUSE YOUR THROAT OR NOSE IS ITCHY BUT IF THERE IS VENOM IN IT AND IT IS LASHING OUT THEN YOU LASH YOURSELF NOT TO HEAVEN BUT EVEN HELL.

FURTHER, CLEARING OF THROAT OR SNEEZING OR COUGHING IS CONDITIONING SO THAT THE URGE INCREASES AND WILL END IN MADNESS.

Chanting is a ritual:

Why is chanting a ritual and practicing controlled madness?

Provided what you chant is not meaningless, if what you chant are words that when strung together convey meaning, then it suffices to say or chant it once to understand what it means.

It is therefore controlled madness to keep chanting something that is for show and mindless.

Faith in rituals is a pathway to future woe and chanting is a form of mindless ritual and if you perceive that there is a mysterious efficacy that cannot be defined by chanting a certain prayer you may have advanced false perception.

The Buddha said not drinking of alcohol and no singing and yet these monks who should be examples of noble behaviour are setting wrong examples.

Japan's monks take Buddhism to bars

By Chris Hogg
BBC News, Tokyo

Monks and priests across the world often wonder how to make their religious faith relevant to the younger generation.

In societies where life is busier than ever, where cities are swelling and families dispersed, the religious rituals of yesterday do not seem so relevant.

But in Japan, a group of Buddhist monks are trying to change that. They have secured a regular spot at a jazz bar where they seek to enlighten and entertain.

Chippie Sound Music Bar is tiny and full of smoke - not incense, though, but cigarette smoke. This is a bar after all.

There is cold beer on tap and a cool crooner on the stereo.

It's amazing. The Shomyo sounded great. I feel really relaxed

Bar visitor

This is not normally where you would expect to find a trio of monks.

But Hogen Natori and his two friends believe this is as good a place as any to spread the word about Buddhism.

As they make their way to the stage they ring a small bell. The small crowd falls silent.

Then the chanting begins and strangely haunting melodies fill the space.

It is Shomyo chanting, a style of Buddhist chant found only in Japan.

Warm response

This is what you might call "Buddhism-lite" though. It is performance, not preaching.

After their first session on the stage, which lasts about 20 minutes, they sit down with the audience for a drink and a chat.

One of the monks gets a bag of balloons out of his pocket and starts sculpting balloon flowers for some of the older ladies sitting around the room.

"Many Japanese don't want to come to temple," Hogen Natori says. He is standing behind the bar where he has lit up a cigarette as he chats with the drinkers.

"They think Buddhism is very difficult, and deep and serious, but Buddhism is much more than that - exciting, funny even. I want to spread this kind of teaching."

He feels people are more receptive in a bar, when they are drinking and with friends.

Relaxing sounds

He gets a warm response from the crowd.

Some are a little older than you might normally expect to find in a bar like this, but they are clearly charmed by the younger monks.

"It was wonderful," says one woman.

"It was my first time but I am really glad I came to listen to it. The chanting itself was superb and so close by. It was wonderful."

Another first-timer was similarly impressed. "It's amazing," he said. "The Shomyo sounded great. I feel really relaxed."

The monks say that their decision to perform in bars like this has upset some Buddhists. One woman told them they should not "lower themselves" in this way.

"What do you say to your critics?" I ask Hogen Natori.

"Come and join us," he replies. "We are telling people what Buddhism is, what monks are.

"When people hear our chants they look relieved," he adds. "How nice!"

Then it is time to get back on stage for the second half.

Again silence, and then again the haunting chants of a bygone age, the three shaven-headed monks in their grey robes kneeling in front of us, sharing their faith with the drinkers.

Paranjothy's Remarks Of Little Importance, Says Zam:

Zam may think he means what he says and readers may similarly think he meant what he said but this is a false perception and the ultimate destination of false perception for him and those who read is mad perception.

He did not like what was said by Paranjothy and it is not that what was said was truly of little importance but he cannot admit he wants to attack and belittle the other person but he chose to downplay what he said as of little importance that misleads himself and others that it is of little importance when the truth is he wants to attack and belittle the other person in the eyes of others.

WHATEVER PARANJOTHY SAID MUST HAVE SOME IMPORTANCE THAT IS NOT LITTLE AND IT REFLECTS THE PERSON’S FALSITY THAT HE CANNOT SAY THE TRUTH THAT HE WANTED TO ATTACK AND BELITTLE THE PERSON THAT HE SAYS WHAT IS SAID IS OF LITTLE IMPORTANCE. THIS IS PRACTICING CONTROLLED MADNESS THAT WILL END IN MADNESS FOR HIM AND THOSE WHO CANNOT SEE THROUGH HIS CHICANERY.

HE HAS A RIGHT TO SAY WHAT PARAJOTHY SAID IS WRONG OR HARMFUL BUT TO ASSESS IT AS OF LITTLE IMPORTANCE IS A CLOAKED ATTACK.

Paranjothy's Remarks Of Little Importance, Says Zam

Posted by Raja Petra

Tuesday, 25 December 2007

(Bernama) -- Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin said today the people should give little importance to the remarks by Gerakan Youth vice-chief S. Paranjothy because there were more people with a rational mind in the Barisan Nasional (BN) component party who could make themselves heard above him.

He said the leadership of every BN component party was always sensitive of those whose actions and words went beyond the confines of the BN principles and tradition.

"When there exist such people, the party leadership itself realises the danger of their action and they are seen by the party as undesirable.

"This has happened in all parties and every party leader who gives importance to BN principles will act to weed out those regarded as a threat to party solidarity and unity of the Malaysian people," he said in a statement.

He was commenting on Paranjothy's racially sensitive remarks against Umno which has resulted in Gerakan initiating disciplinary action against its Youth vice-chief.

Part Style, part habit, part tension:

Both are seated with style not without style and because style is meaningless, only for show to impress, please, intimidate or dominate, it is practicing controlled madness that will end in uncontrollable madness.

The stylish postures they are both adopting involve (unnecessary) complex bending and twisting of body parts from head to torso to limbs that are partly intended to impress or please the other person, partly as a result of habit (reproduced automatically, robotically without even realization) and partly dictated by the tension in the minds that command they bend and twist their bodies such.

Whoever you are, if you must bend your head to one side as they are both doing, if it is unnecessary, you are unnecessarily stressing your neck muscles because it takes work for muscles of one side to bend it to its side and the muscles on the other side must be stretched that is also painful compared to the un-stretched state.

Whoever if you must turn or rotate your head to one side as they are both doing (she more prominently but his head is also slightly turned away from her to his right), if it is unnecessary, you are unnecessarily stressing your neck muscles because it takes work for muscles of one side to turn it to its side and the muscles on the other side must be stretched by being turned that is also painful compared to the un-stretched state.

ANY BODY PART CAN ONLY ASSUME TWO POSSIBLE POSTURES: BENT OR STRAIGHT, ROTATED OR UNROTATED.

WHETHER YOU ARE BENDING OR ROTATING THE BODY PART FOR A (NECESSARY) PURPOSE EG WRITE OR DRIVE OR YOU ARE BENDING OR ROTATING IT FOR SHOW BECAUSE THE BENT OR ROTATED POSTURE IS PERCEIVED (FALSELY) AS IMPRESSIVE CAN BE OBJECTIVELY KNOWN. IF IT IS BENT OR ROTATED OR BOTH BENT AND ROTATED FOR SHOW, THEN YOU ARE PRACTICING WHAT IS NOT ONLY UNNECESSARY (AND LEADS TO RESTLESSNESS) BUT ENERGY CONSUMING THAT STRESSES THE MUSCLES & DISTRACTS (YOU MUST PAY ATTENTION TO THE STYLE PRESENT WHAT YOU POSE).

IF THERE IS STYLE PRESENT IN THE POSTURES YOU AND EVERYONE HERE ASSUME ALL THE TIME AND YOU CANNOT SEE IT, THEN YOU HAVE POOR DISCERNMENT, CANNOT SEE THINGS CLEARLY AS THEY TRULY ARE.

IF YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF, HAVE NEVER SAT WITHOUT BENDING AND TWISTING YOUR NECK AND BODY FOR A SUSTAINED PERIOD TO APPRECIATE THE DIFFERENCE IN LACK OF STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION, HOW CAN YOU OR DO YOU KNOW IT IS WORTHLESS?

(She is actually raising her chin slightly perhaps partly because of pride and partly to distance herself even as she leans forward and crosses her head towards him to act friendly. People act friendly with one part of their bodies leaning forwards as if they are attracted to you but at the same time they also distance themselves by crossing their legs away or folding their arms across their bodies and this is practicing controlled conflict in the name of pleasing others and will end with loss of control in madness)

Blair Catholic service 'moving':

Unless the service was universally moving, you cannot say it is moving. If there are some who are indifferent, disgusted or cynical about it, you cannot say it was moving but it was moving, indifferent, disgusted or cynical to different people. By saying it was moving you are exerting psychological pressure on readers to believe it was moving when they may not perceive it as so.

People say it is moving because they perceive ‘moving’ as meaningful and based on meaning when it is based on force or its surrogate emotion that has nothing to do with meaning and reason and is merely the stirring of that person’s mental force on perceiving events of that service.

Thus the fact that people perceive that describing something as moving is meaningful reflects they have advanced false perception that will end in mad perception. They may think they speak the truth when they describe an event as moving but they are speaking falsely because the event itself is not moving but certain spectators and participants experience a stirring of their emotions (eg they are Catholics and feel proud a famous man like Blair is joining them) to like what they say or heard that is not shared by everyone else. In any case a stirring of their mental forces has nothing understandable, is evanescent and lasts as long as their mental forces are stirred. What is everlasting is the conditioning by force of their minds such that their capacity for being moved becomes easier to arouse to more intense levels in the future and because it degrades their minds, they are headed for suffering not bliss.

ALWAYS SPEAK FOR YOURSELF, “I FIND THE SERVICE MOVING”, DON’T SAY ‘THE SERVICE WAS MOVING’ THAT EXERTS PRESSURE ON THE OTHER PERSON TO FAKE THEY AGREE BY SMILING AS IF THEY APPRECIATED WHEN THEY DID NOT.

As the Buddha said, an evil man may forever bathe in the river Ganges and it will not cleanse him of his sins but if he was truly reformed, he need not bathe in the river Ganges. Thus ceremonies are a form of faith in rites that is the way to future woe and for show to be seen.

Blair Catholic service 'moving'

Tony Blair visited Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican in June

The service to receive former Prime Minister Tony Blair into the Roman Catholic Church was "moving", Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor has said.

The leader of Catholics in England and Wales said Friday's service - attended by Mr Blair's wife and four children - was "very intimate, very prayerful".

The Vatican has welcomed Tony Blair's decision to become a Catholic.

Mr Blair, who had been an Anglican, became a Catholic during a service at Archbishop's House, in Westminster.

'Personal journey'

He feels at home in the Catholic church in a way that he didn't in any other church, or in the Anglican communion

Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor

Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor, who is the Archbishop of Westminster, led the service and told BBC Radio 2's Good Morning Sunday: "It was a very moving occasion.

"I suppose for him [it was] the end of a process, in the sense that he's been thinking about becoming a Catholic for a long time.

"But also, in another sense it's a beginning, because when you become a Catholic, as so many people who have become Catholics have said to me, it's like coming home.

"This was a gift for Tony, a personal journey, a gift for his family."

Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor said Mr Blair, who was formerly an Anglican, was becoming a Catholic "partly because... the example of his family, his children have been brought up as Catholics.

"I think also it's not just in his travels as prime minister, but even before that, there was something he said to me, that he feels at home in the Catholic Church in a way that he didn't in any other Church, or in the Anglican communion."

Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor led Mr Blair's service

A Vatican spokesman said such an "authoritative personality" choosing to join the Catholic Church "could only give rise to joy and respect".

Last year, Mr Blair, who is now a Middle East peace envoy, said he had prayed to God when deciding whether or not to send UK troops into Iraq.

And one of Mr Blair's final official trips while prime minister was a visit to the Vatican in June where he met Pope Benedict XVI.

BBC correspondent David Willey said it had been no secret in Rome that Mr Blair had been taking instruction from a Catholic priest as a prelude to conversion.

The Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams, leader of the Anglican church, wished the former prime minister well in his spiritual journey.

Political clash

But ex-Tory minister Ann Widdecombe - herself a Catholic convert - said Mr Blair's voting record as an MP had often "gone against Church teaching" and that his conversion raised some questions.

"If you look at Tony Blair's voting record in the House of Commons, he's gone against Church teaching on more than one occasion. On things, for example, like abortion," she said. "My question would be, 'has he changed his mind on that?'"

There has never been a Roman Catholic prime minister of Britain, although there is no constitutional barrier to such a move.

However, it had in the past been suggested that Mr Blair would wait until after leaving office, to avoid possible clashes such as over his role in appointing Church of England bishops.

A medical myth busted, nails do not grow after death:

Anyone who reads and sees nothing wrong is a compromised man.

Myths are not a physical entity that can be busted. The person who has a predilection to use forceful words like ‘bust’ or ‘smash’ is a man of force not reason and what he said is false. The myth is proved wrong or disproved not busted.

YOU MAY THINK IT IS A MATTER OF SEMANTICS BUT YOU ARE SPEAKING CARELESSLY WHEN YOU SPEAK OF BUSTING INSTEAD OF DISPROVING THAT WILL INCREASINGLY CONDITION YOURSELF TO FALSITY, THAT YOU CAN BUST OR USE FORCE TO BREAK A MYTH.

Always styled speaking and understanding of the truth:

Whatever truth people speak and whatever understanding of the truth that people are capable is always a styled spoken truth and styled understanding of the truth, never a plain or pure (style free) spoken truth or understood truth.

Because style is all about the use of force to prolong, change speed and strength of force, it is false or meaningless and harms the person and others at the receiving end of the spoken truth or the understanding of the truth is seriously tainted by the accompanying force.

BECAUSE ORDINARY OR STYLISH PEOPLE’S SPOKEN TRUTH ALWAYS HAS STYLE (STRETCHING, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS) THAT IS ALL ABOUT USING FALSE HARMFUL FORCE AND THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF TRUTH OR WHAT DID HAPPEN AND CAN HAPPEN IS ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD WITH ACCOMPANYING FORCE OR EMOTION OR LIKE OR DISLIKE, THEIR SPEAKING OF AND UNDERSTANDING OF TRUTH IS ALWAYS SERIOUSLY COMPROMISED NOT THE UNADULTERATED TRUTH.

AT BEST, THE STYLISH PERSON CAN ONLY SPEAK THE STYLED TRUTH AND WITH STYLE UNDERSTAND WHAT IS TRUE OR DID OR CAN HAPPEN. USUALLY SUCH TRUTHS THAT THEY SPEAK AND UNDERSTAND ARE OF A SIMPLE & SECULAR NATURE OFTEN COPIED FROM OTHERS OR THEY ACCEPTED FROM OTHERS RATHER THAN THEY WORKED IT OUT WITH TRUE UNDERSTANDING BY THEMSELVES. THERE ARE MANY FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS THAT THEY ARE ENTIRELY CLUELESS EG HOW THEY ARE CONSTANTLY STRETCHING THEIR SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS AND HOW THESE LEAD TO STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION. THEY PERCEIVE THEIR SMILES AS GENUINE AND GOOD WHEN IT IS A FORM OF LYING WITH THEIR FACES AND ALL ABOUT EXPRESSING FORCE THAT STRESSES THEMSELVES AND OTHERS.

IN ADDITION MANY OF THE THINGS THAT THEY SAY THAT THEY THINK THEY SPEAK THE TRUTH CAN BE EXAMINED AND PROVEN FALSE (EG BLAIR’S SERVICE MOVING OR MYTH BUSTED), MANY OF THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT DID HAPPEN IS THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT DID NOT HAPPEN OR DELUSIONS AND SO THE OCCASIONS WHEN THEY SPOKE THE STYLED TRUTH AND UNDERSTOOD WITH STYLE WHAT IS TRUE IS MUCH LESS THAN THEY THINK.

A warning to all emotional people:

Anyone who is emotional is headed for a hell of emotion or violence.

Roy Keane was notorious as a hard man who could spit at an opponent and hack him down even break his leg.

The claim is that his abusive outburst is out of the blue but he was obviously chafing from losing by a goal that may not have crossed the line and his past violent outbursts are never forgotten but the intense hurt he must have felt is too strong for him to bear and the urge to lash out virtually impossible to restrain.

HE IS HEADED FOR A HELL OF VIOLENCE, HATRED AND ANGER THAT HIS SUCCESS IS SCANT COMPENSATION AND ANYONE WHO IS EMOTIONAL HAS A PERSON APPOINTMENT WITH LOSS OF CONTROL AND MADNESS. BEFORE YOU COME TO THE CHOPPING BOARD, YOU MAY TALK BIG, I AM NOT AFRAID OR IT WILL NOT HAPPEN BUT WHEN YOU ARE AT THE CHOPPING TABLE AND THEN ONTO THE OVEN OF HELL, LET ME HEAR YOU TALK BIG.

Keano in F-word storm

By ANDREW DILLON

Published: Today

ROY KEANE had to be thrown out of Steve Coppell’s office in an amazing F-word bust-up at Reading.

Sunderland’s fiery boss let rip with an amazing rant after being invited in for a Christmas drink following Saturday’s controversial 2-1 defeat at the Madejski.

A Reading player said: “It was incredible. Roy was absolutely steaming. And at the time no one had a clue why. Roy would naturally have been disappointed at the way the game ended — but that is not our fault.

“He was invited into the gaffer’s office for a drink, which is the normal act of courtesy here.

“But, within 10 seconds of going in there, all hell seemed to break loose. He was fuming and really having a go at everyone in there as if it was his office at Sunderland.”

Reading boss Coppell was absent but Keane stunned backroom staff with his outburst which included accusing them of ‘disrespecting Sunderland’.

A club official was eventually forced to manhandle Keane out and into the players’ tunnel.

Sunderland were sunk by a controversial injury-time winner which — they claim — did not cross the line and puts the club into the Premier League’s bottom three going into a crucial phase of the season.

Banter

The player added: “Nobody here still quite knows what the hell went on. There was a bit of banter between the two dugouts but nothing that doesn’t go on in any other match as far as I know.

“But Roy seemed really angry and it all went off.

“He had to be ordered out and into the tunnel to stop the situation getting out of hand.”

Keane went into Coppell’s office about half hour after the end of the match which condemned Sunderland to their second successive defeat amid controversy.

Coppell was preoccupied with his post-match Press conference but Keane did not wait for him to arrive before airing his views.

Afterwards, the ex-Manchester United skipper went on television and insisted: “We have to rise above this.”
