I'm dead serious about not being serious. Seriously.

I still aiming my buns at RJ although I'm not the one leaving thumbs down on his posts. And he actually has gotten better, but if you want to wake up and find a zinger to get you going in the morning, just goto an RJ post. He's the master.

Okay, you’ve piqued me (in a good way) to try one last shot explaining Zen (or at least its use of “riddling” language), which I really haven’t done in awhile. Hope you will bear with me. Then I have to go to the bookshelf, in part for a book I have by a well-known medical researcher/brain scientist called Zen and the Brain—

Originally posted by JS357Well I actually think it important not to get too serious when you are talking about Buddhism, you should be able to make a cup of tea with the same intent , since they are one in the same.
It is important for me to say that at this moment, I have nothing important to say on this thread.
Originally posted by TaomanOh yeah. I kinda had a bit of a dig at RJ there didn't I? Then again I did call him the "master" in all honesty.

(And don't get the buns confused! lol.)

Nope. Just not gonna do it.
I will say that yes, all paths have errors, but only because we are human. The error is always our own. God, who designed our path, does not make errors. The error comes about when we fail to follow it as designed.
Originally posted by karoly aczelSome good stuff here. My post, I suggested rules to try and get the focus a bit higher. You are free to target small if you wish, I was encouraging to hit the big stuff.

Anyway, I'm not playing your "no personal attack " rules.
In fact I do believe I had a similar feeling erupt within me once where I started an "attack me " thread. It didn't go as well as this one.
If you dont like it... well I'm sure here been a bunfight here yet? without getting personal ? C'mon, what are we? fruit?
Originally posted by TaomanYes I would like to attract more quality interchange. I think RJ has actually improved as is not as in the past. I didn't get that out right at all. Or my earlier post about him.

It too easy to say the obvious that RJH is an inane, close minded fundamentalist fool, who distracts and spoils constantly. So keep up the focus on him, eh?
Too many want to make the " ...[text shortened]... of improvement.
Do you want and try to attract more quality interchange here Karoly or not?
Originally posted by karoly aczelYes, very good illustration for thought. Magpie zen sounds good. I feed our maggies, but their mates down the road, go me.

Bigger fish? Well a lot of the modrates crap me off at times. After all I never heard of a luke warm satori.
What about Magpie Zen?
Every magpie season magpies start s our walk fearlessly and see these birds as potential bringers of enlightenment or something?
Originally posted by TaomanI knew what you meant by big fish, but lets just say I have had my bunhairs singed when I have tried to take down whole ideologies around here. So my approach changes...

"Every magpie season magpies start our walk fearlessly and see these birds as potential bringers of enlightenment or something?" Cool.
The 'bigger fish' to me is not other members to have the cut and thrust with but bigger themes. ...[text shortened]... bates. A lot of it here is coming from the same fundamentalists. Are they breeding?
Originally posted by karoly aczelI can surely defend myself if attacked.
Can I ask ?
Do you think Taoman is embodying the devil or something like that for trying to incite you, tempt you if you will, to toss a few buns?
Is tossing buns on a forum like this not the right Way for you or for anyone?
Just curious, you know.
Originally posted by SuzianneWhat not even a bit of semi-contact sparring? (If not, fare enough)
I can surely defend myself if attacked.
I just don't like to be the attacker.
