Online Again...

Being away from the blogosphere for most of the week, I missed out on some great stuff. Tom, editor of Zen Unbound, catalogued much of what I missed in a new Zen/Ch'an Digest called Blogmandu Roundup. Great stuff, Tom... thanks for doing this (and for Zen Unbound, and for Tasty LInks, and for just being you... you are appreciated).

My computer died on me recently, so I'm out and about trying to collect some of the resources I lost. There used to be a Kwan Um affiliated sangha called Ocean Eyes Zen Center that posted lots of great information on Korean Zen, including some of the foundational chants (the Great Compassion Dharani, Yae Bul, the Thousand Hands and Eyes Sutra, the Heart Sutra, etc.) in RealAudio format. While I can't say for certain what happened to Ocean Eyes, it seems that there is some restructuring going on. Remembering that the chants were performed by the Golden Wind Zen Group, I Google searched and found their site, which then led me to i-Sangha.

If you're interested in hearing what Korean Zen chant sounds like, you can download the Golden Wind Zen Group chants from i-Sangha. I don't have any of the chants memorized yet, so I chant along with these recordings. You will have to ask them to make you a "member" instead of a "novice", in order to access the downloads.

I-Sangha is an online sangha... chat rooms, message boards, the works. I haven't posted to the boards yet, but I've lurked a bit. There's an interesting thread on the Korean Zen teaching on no-self. The forums certainly have topics that cover a broad spectrum, but this is a new community so it will take time to grow. If you aren't practicing with a sangha and want to ask an ordained teacher a question, this is one place you could go.

Tibet has fallen prey to the Big Lie of democracy, just as so many Vietnamese did decades ago.
You are the morbidly disfavored people who fail to recognize god's favor when you see it:::
The pinnicle of irony:::ED pharmeceuticals.
People injest this poison which will cost them their health TO DEFEAT FAVOR GRANTED BY THE GODS, indifference towards sex the god's way of helping you avoid this damaging behavior.

Took the Dali Lama a week to speak about the riots ocurring in Tibet.
Despite being a clone host fake, he is a phoney, a hypocrite whose absence implied his support for the violence.
It is a clue not to respect him.

Both Confucious and Buddah emerged about the same time. Consistant with the god's methodology one is good while one is evil.

Like aging, sleep is behavior forced upon us.
News story on sleep research, a good example of how education is preditory, deceptive.
People aren't fresher or sharper because of good sleep. The gods control all this.
Actually, they've mentioned that people with favor don't have to sleep and, like aging, sleep is behavior forced upon us.
This is today's research. Expect this applies to early research as well.
Incidentally, the gods create male superiority in the fields of computers, science and math for preditory reason.

There is one geographic clue I have not addressed in years:::Uranus, a planet tilted 90 degrees on its axis. I have stated in years past that I think this is yet another geographic clue offered by the gods, this one suggesting the fate of planet Earth, that tectonic plate subduction would be the method of disposal:::Earth’s axis will shift breaking continental plates free and initiating mass subduction.
Undesirables will either perish in the government marijuana erradication program "gone awry" or be the recipients of reparations granted by the US government because of it.
Or both.
I believe the New Testiment battle of the Anti-Christ and the Second Coming of Christ will ocurr in subsequent years SPECIFICALLY because these people will be distracted with the money during the event.
When the Earth's axis shifts people will be cast into outer space with gold cards in hand.
I think this was foreshadowed on an episode of the Simpsons where Homer and Bart are on the disfavored ship and eject, only to experience a sense of euphoria, expand then explode in the vacuum of space.

Recall I recently brought up the possible Manifest Destiny-positioned Chinese invasion of the United States (west coast) upon economic abandonment by their clone host tools (economic destruction and deterioration.mp3). They have mentioned this in years past.
Newspaper just made a curious change where they combined the sports and business sections, and to properly read the business section you need to read "backward". Like Asian languages.
Tariffs. The gods are instruct their tools to defend open free trade, as they will to the bitter end. The gods have a script and they need economic (d)evolution sufficient to justify what they have scripted for our future, so they use their tools to adamantly defend this concept of fair trade::::The time for tariffs has long since past.
