Trump takes stage in Arizona!!

[dukkha]

the student is asking about Buddha-nature. In Mahayana Buddhism, Buddha-nature is the fundamental nature of all beings. In Buddhism, "all beings" really does mean "all beings," not just "all humans." And a dog certainly is a "being." The obvious answer to the monk's question, "does a dog have Buddha-nature," is yes.

But Chao-chou said, Mu. No. What's going on here?

The fundamental question in this koan is about the nature of existence. The monk's question came from a fragmented, one-sided perception of existence. Master Chao-chou used Mu as a hammer to break up the monk's conventional thinking.

Robert Aitken Roshi wrote (in The Gateless Barrier),

"The barrier is Mu, but it always has a personal frame. For some the barrier is 'Who am I really?' and that question is resolved through Mu. For others it is 'What is death?' and that question too is resolved through Mu. For me it was 'What am I doing here?'"

A monk asked Master Chao-chou, "Has a dog the Buddha Nature or not?" Chao-chou said, "Mu!"

What Is Mu?

Neat. Of course you did bring up a dog. Which explains a lot.

Fragmented existence, a dog. Sorry you missed that.
It happens.

That was not the question or the enlightenment. I thank you for sharing your fragment. It's insightful.

do you recall the Maoist era Chinese use of "running dogs" which i used above?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_dog
Running dog is a literal translation into English of the Chinese pejorative 走狗 (Chinese: zǒu gǒu), meaning lackey or lapdog, an unprincipled person who helps or flatters those more powerful and often evil. It is derived from the tendency of dogs to follow after humans in hopes of receiving food scraps. Historian Yuan-tsung Chen notes that while "In the West, a dog is a man's best friend; but in China, dogs are abject creatures. In Chinese, no idiomatic expression was more demeaning than the term 'running dogs.'"[1]

++

the entire DC Swamp are running dogs-"abject creatures"...

Well, to Trump's REAL base, for sure. You'll get no argument from me.

So miracles do happen then?

lol

Just pointing out one piece of shit excusing another piece of shit excusing another piece of shit.

See how I added you to the equation, piece of shit?

And, you voted for the piece of dogshit which occupied the White House for the past eight.

Thanks, fucktard.

Another Trump lie. The hate groups have been emboldened by his racist campaign and office rhetoric. That's the platform he created.

The media [and everyone else] pretty much ignored the Klan as long I can remember.

Now the media can't get enough of them. Go figure.

Right? The 8,000 total klan members in the entire country? They could hardly impact an election for city council let alone put Trump in office

Twitter Loses It Over Donald Trump's 'Off The Rails' Arizona Rally

Trump is insecure, a pathetic liar and immature, who needs his asswipe supporters for reassurance!

Fascist pajama boys evidently acting up now right on cue, what a shame...cops firing off tear gas on the idiots to disperse them.

People at scene say there was no violence

"and I won't name the other Senator;nobody knows who he is.."

 

[Cancel 2020.1]

I would have been so embarrassed if Obama gave a speech that was anything like that, 7 months into his 1st admin - strictly playing to his hardcore base, and whining about how unfairly he was being treated.

This Antifa dude took one for the team right in the groin last night lol.

I'm sure he's feeling the violence this morning.

BLACKS FOR TRUMP ..

They stuck that idiot right behind Trump so the world could see the HUMONGOUS LAUGHABLE LIE. :0)

The ‘Blacks for Trump’ Guy Is a Former Member of a Murderous Cult Who Thinks Obama Is the Devil

It didn’t take an eagle eye to notice the “Blacks for Trump” signs just over Donald Trump’s left shoulder at his Tuesday rally in Sanford, Florida. The middle-aged white woman enthusiastically waving hers was particularly memorable. But the man next to her, a fringe political figure in South Florida who goes by Michael the Black Man, is the real star here.

A former member of the murderous Yahweh ben Yahweh cult, Michael has found himself with front-row seats to several recent Trump events in South Florida, always waving his “Blacks for Trump” sign and wearing a shirt that says “Trump & Republicans Are Not Racist.” At Tuesday’s rally in Sanford, Trump took notice. “I love the signs behind me. Blacks for Trump. I like those signs. Blacks for Trump. You watch. You watch. Those signs are great,” he said.

Getting noticed by Republican pooh-bahs is nothing new for Michael. He appeared at a Rick Santorum event in 2012, where he declared Democrats “slave masters,” and has Glenn Beck’s seal of approval.

Before he was winning attaboys from prominent members of the GOP, Michael ran with a vicious black-supremacist cult. In the early ‘90s, Michael and 15 other members of the Yahweh ben Yahweh cult were charged with conspiring in two murders, and even though his own brother testified that Michael stabbed a man in the eye with a sharp stick, he was let off by a Florida jury. In the decades since, he’s become a novel figure in South Florida, racking up criminal charges but no convictions and running a radio show that features his rants on “Demon-crats.”

The full spectrum of Michael’s political philosophy can be observed on his website Gods2.com, which he advertises on his signs at Trump rallies. It includes claims about Obama and Hillary Clinton being in the Illuminati, a video proving “that Hillary is in the KKK,” and more than a dozen personal videos related to an eviction and bankruptcy.

Now that he's been publicly outed, I doubt if the racists have any more use for him.

They'll dump his ass like garbage.

You desperate fucks can't stand the brutal truth of the current reality, so you keep diverting. Trump is turning out to be the worst President in my lifetime, possibly ever, just as I knew he would be. He makes GW look like a fucking genius.

Your boy is a worthless piece of shit, pal. And you are too oblivious to realize it.

That's because Orangetweet's racist horseshit have emboldened and encouraged them. When was the last time there was a tiki torch parade of that magnitude?

It's NEWS, not 'fake' news, lemmingtard.

Did it or did it not happen and was an innocent person murdered as a result?

That's not your average lemmingtard's 'fake news' bullshit. It's NEWS.
