Now that would be hypocritical wouldn't it.

But I did develop some interesting "abilities" from practicing meditation.

A young monk asked, "Master, what is the path to a fully enlightened krishna consciousness buddha?"

The Zen pimp replied, "In YO FACE!  Biotch!" as he slapped that annoying bitch.

Yes it would, but I was talking to kenny.

And I don't actually think either of them are "enlightened," but this thread is immensely entertaining.

I am opening a new shop soon. This is my meaning. I have been planning it for awhile with some friends, we went over the plans last week in my basement. I didn't realize they came there a week before. They informed me that they were from Spain and were coming over to see me about something, just something he mentioned last week before tennis ended, 10 minutes before tennis ended I got a call from this guy and he sent me something. He called from a payphone in London. He has used that payphone before I know. A few years ago he called me when he was in a dire emergency, something about an accident that just happened to him. He didn't expect an accident all of a sudden but it happened. He in some ways brought it upon himself admittingly, and he could never deny this no matter how much his self conscious tried to grapple with the concept. Well I moved someone to China awhile ago. I didn't mean to let him know I went to a park earlier. I let that slip out on mistake, but I'm going to apologize next time I see him. I'm not the kind of person to walk past a person without acknowledging them, I assure you I will say something so they will know I didn't mean it.

I have contacted someone about opening a similar shop near mine. I'm insisting that he transfers his old shop to this new location, that he cannot refuse my offer. I've sent him my proposal countless times & must hear back from him as soon as possible. I've been working for him part time last May, I remember it clear as crystal. He put me on the line for some time and then took me off. I worked for over 30 days straight, I would get up early in the morning and go out to the fields and collect fruits & vegetables. I began to cultivate my hunting skills, they reached a development that peaked to such heights that my former hunting days never looked the same. I could never look back to how I hunted now to how I hunt today lets just say that. I'm more of a person that survives on nature and the bare land. I lived in Africa for over 30 years, I'm an adventurer that travels to foreign countries and travel around the land. I've been searching for a new adventure, and I have submitted a number of earnest requests to the creator of the projection if they have a new adventure they'd like to offer me. For I'm always up for an adventure. I must go on an adventure soon I suppose. I'm on an adventure out West somewhere next Tuesday. I fear my friends might not have as much of an adventure spirit as myself tho, for I pursue adventurers as if its my natural accustomed instinct. So I've lived in Africa for so many years and I've created my own trible. I'm afraid I rarely relate this story with most people, and usually would control myself or refrain from uttering it for fear of confusion. I try not to confuse people on purpose, usually I try to get people out of that confused state of mind. I try to put the thought of that confusion disappearing soon enoughinto their noggin.

Will your new shop sell the keys to enlightenment?

I have a lot of time to kill, before time kills me, so I share some of my experience of what enlightenment truely is.




Perceiving from a point from beyond the self.

Looking through the eyes without having to look through a filter of the self.

So, the way you can point to enlightenment without claiming it for yourself is simply stating that it is there. Otherwise you might put off a "holier than thou" vibe which people won't want to relate too.

If you desire for people to relate to you, you are somehow burdened by the world, not enlightened.

I don't believe in enlightenment.  It is like celebrity, more in our heads as an idealized version of ourselves than an actual thing that makes other people more special than us.

Has nothing to do with desiring to be liked, it has to do with presenting the case for enlightenment.

I hate to compliment people who very likely place no value in it, but I must in this case.
Quite a special and succinct sentiment above. :awepreciation:

So it has to do with desire for other people to be enlightened?  Would you even go as far as to say that you are somewhat dissatisfied with the world as it stands and this causes an emotional response?

I don't see how someone can be simultaneously alive and enlightened.  I mean, what is the point?

As an 'Enlightened One,' shouldn't you now be helping the rest of us poor fools achieve the same level of awesome?



I wouldn't call it awesomeness, that was half the point of the original point that its not. I have no need or desire or even ability to help anyone reach enlightenment either. It can only be done for yourself, no one else can help you awaken. Its like someone asleep but slapping them will just piss them off while sleepwalking, not wake them up.

But if you want it here's the directions. Ask yourself who you are. Literally, "Who am I?" After you strip off all the layers of bullshit and a couple years you'll have peeled off your ego layers. There are volumes of commentary on the subject of "Who am I?" and they are all bullshit. All you need is that phrase.

As an enlightened buddha I suppose I could give you tips, but thats really it, it can only be done by yourself. Its like a catterpillar going into a cocoon, there is only room for one, only you can transform, or wake your self up. And when you do and you will because no creature can deny their own nature forever, you will be enlightened. Its really a lot of nothing, of becoming the void, pretty over rated and not pretty like is advertized. I hope this is understandable. Kindly yours.

once, a long time ago, there were two clans of monks that appeared in the king's court asking for permission to build a temple.

"i can't endorse both clans," the king thought, "i'll test the both of them."

the king asked both clans of monks to enter a cave for a year, meditate, and paint a mural that best represented their ideals.

one clan of monks diligently meditated every morning, and spent the afternoon carefully painting a mandala representing the great buddha and their nature.

the other clan of monks brought in many jars of alcohol, and spent the day getting drunk and rubbing the wall with alcohol and rags.  every day, they rubbed and rubbed and rubbed the wall.

at the end of the year, one side of the cave boasted a beautiful, unbelievably intricate mural of the king's court as a mandala hosting the buddha.  the other side of the wall simply shimmered brilliantly like a mirror.

the king asked the clan that had simply rubbed the wall, "what have you done?  i asked you to paint a mural!"  one of the monks, still drunk, said "yes your majesty, look into the reflection, that clan painted the mural but we brought it to life!"

That desire is for a bodhisattva, but you guys aren't even talking about enlightenment, you are talking about anatta, which is only a part of enlightenment.
