Grandfather Renolds, former Paññobhāsa Bhikkhu
« on: May 05, 2013, 08:57:13 PM »


Paññobhāsa Bhikkhu

Born John David Reynolds in Seward, AK, he was ordained in the Burmese Taungpulu Forest tradition of Theravada Buddhism in 1991 and spent 18 years in Burma, most of that time in forest caves. He returned to the US in May 2011, and is experimenting with the possibility of living as an independent monk in the West. He has specialized in meditation, monastic discipline, and the subtleties of Buddhist philosophy, and is willing to teach those who are interested.

So Bhante finally run back to Burma, as my person understands.

http://politicallyincorrectdharma.blogspot.com/2017/06/why-i-am-starting-this-blog.html

Being obiviously slowly - but nevertheless Bhante seems to realize a little, while the most do simply not - Bhante might be to slow to realize that the global darkness, ensnared in strong wrong view, has already reached Burma as well.

Bhante might waste his preciouse time willing to rescue Samsara and the Dhammas last generation.

Since taking on an google-account is really not proper, even if trying to write a fellow, my person trust, that Bhante Paññobhāsa will get the message here, not only physical, and maybe will remember my persons approch and his words while he was to busy in US.

Bhante is how ever still and always welcome to make use of the given enviroment and my person will not be greedy in showing how much mirror Bhante actually faces and that it would be very urgent to "kill" the pseudo liberal hero in himself. To speak in Ajahn Chah's words:

Mange

The Buddha said, "Monks, did you see the jackal running around here in the evening? Did you see him? Standing still it suffered. Running around it suffered. Sitting down it suffered. Lying down it suffered. Going into the hollow of a tree, it suffered. Going into a cave, it felt ill at ease. It suffered because it thought, 'Standing here isn't good. Sitting isn't good. Lying down isn't good. This bush isn't good. This tree hollow isn't good. This cave isn't good.' So it kept running all the time. Actually, that jackal has mange. Its discomfort doesn't come from the bush or the tree hollow or the cave, from sitting, standing, or lying down. It comes from the mange."

You monks are the same. Your discomfort comes from your wrong views. You hold onto ideas that are poisonous and so you're tormented. You don't exert restraint over your senses, so you blame other things. You don't know what's going on inside you. When you stay here at Wat Nong Pah Pong, you suffer. You go to America and suffer. You go to London and suffer. You go to Wat Bung Wai and suffer. You go to every branch monastery and suffer. Wherever you go, you suffer. This comes from the wrong views that still lie within you. Your views are wrong and you hold onto ideas that are poisonous in your hearts. Wherever you go you suffer. You're like that jackal.

Once you recover from your mange, though, you can be at ease wherever you go: at ease out in the open, at ease in the wild. I think about this often and keep teaching it to you because this point of Dhamma is very useful.

If Bhante has lost or forgotten his given accessibility here, he might tell it, either by email or by posting as guest, so that such could be solved.

Bhante Paññobhāsa might think that my person approach has no urged reason. Well he would not be the only one maybe underestimating his approach and urging. How ever, in regard of the spoken: Here we are, right from Burma: Mingun Jetawan Sayādaw: Can an Extinct Bhikkhunī Sangha Be Revived? .

Splitters, fools and "heros" will distroy the holly lifes possibility and the Sangha withing this generation. So you are wise to be aware that you could be one of the last generation or another fool who will turn and burn, like the monk on you blog for eons.

Thanks Upasaka maranadhammomhi for providing this little sample and if the motivation for it was right, this message you just got here is eigher the blessing of the good deed done or the pain of acting unwise. Even in secound case it could still turn out to become a blessing.

So also you are urged and leave the fools the quicker the better behind and walk on as long possible.

Place and people require upanissayapaccayena. Knowing that, one is wise to have gratitude with ones earlier good deeds when things appear in a helpful way and not a matter of accident.

Bhante, why does Bhante think that he had translated  THE AṬṬHAKAVAGGA and carried this reminder related to the current state?

It looks like as if the messages have not reached Bhante Paññobhāsa , at last not mental.

While not strictly against way and stand, but knowing also the danger of taking stand, even fighting one thesis with another, my person likes to continue to "go in between" and pick up certain things and possble comment them.

There are some respect worthy replies and of course allready frontiers. One thing, and that is most sad, is that Bhante does not a little argue with Dhamma, while others try, but uses philosophy to fight philosophy, view with view.


Interesting observations, but what/who exactly are you trying to fight with? And from Burma? Freedom of speech is still allowed. Political correctness in some places of the US could be over the top, but I haven't seen a single guy being stopped from accomplishments in science, arts, Buddhism, or whatever because of feminism. Are you having a hard time being a monk because of the feminism? Do you feel like a lesser man, human being? Were you "politically" corrected and that offended you? Would you want to bring time back into the certain style of society from the past? Different people fight for different subjects they feel it's needed: some for women's rights, some for racial, some for the animal... Before it gets into balance often the weight moves scales to the other side for a while... And maybe that's what you're doing too – trying to balance. But just curious, why THIS after 20 years in robes and why it's so offensive and worth fighting? Most religions went thru different transformations and branched out. In Christianity only Catholics still hold on to their male hierarchy. And what does that mean? Nothing. Just a thing in history which eventually will change. I, personally, am very thankful to feminism whatever hysterical it might be at moments. I still love to be a mother and cook and do other traditional things as well as meditate, but socially it's nice not be a commodity and not to be bound to certain radical traditions etc.

Quote from: pure answer of Bhante
I suspect you're not going to like this blog.


 
It doesn't matter even to me if I like or not. I don't look at things that way. I might not like, but I am curious. In my book, if someone was sitting for 20 years in the forest and meditating, they might have some interesting insights. So I asked questions. Yes, I am puzzled, but that's why I ask.

First, one having spend time alone in the forest, even only one year and instructed well in the Dhamma, has layed philosophy and views aside.

One should not think that a monk outomatical leaves the house into homelessness and alone dwelling monks, not engaged in improper livelihood are rare, very rare, would not have desire or idea to go back to the west only once.

Yet, some lasting sorrows for ones kind are still present, even for a no-returner.



If one takes on an extrem, even if just stategical, one nurishes that extreme and is quick in companion-ship of even radical and "bad" guys.

Its very sad to see such like here, somebody quoting Dhamma and such a post, while no reaction of Bhante:


"Monks, a statement endowed with five factors is well-spoken, not ill-spoken. It is blameless & unfaulted by knowledgeable people. Which five?

"It is spoken at the right time. It is spoken in truth. It is spoken affectionately. It is spoken beneficially. It is spoken with a mind of good-will."

— AN 5.198

Quote from: Epä Järjestys

Good sales pxxx!

Once my person openend a blog, vanaradari, not even as conservative like he might apoear now, but just "provoking". As he realiced that certain hindu inspired right-extremist started to follow and nurished on it their wrong views, he simply stopped.

When still a householder, my person started and runned a very successful hardrock-scene-bar in the conservative center of the capital, at a time where rock was death an Techno ruled. The have been later bestselling "no-techno" t-shirts.
At the beginning there have been groups who thought that it is an invitation to fight each other. Having then restricted the giving away of such t-shirts, people understood that fight is not supported at all, even a having a clear stand of what is simply foolish.
Its has been runned 10 years with not the slightest trouble, not even two friend arguing mag against each other, drug-free and visited by all generation and also heavy guys, Outsider and Hellsangels and police-officers private or to have just a nice break in smoot area.

That's not something everybody can do, should do. Of course it was soon destroyed after leaving, by this group and tendency Bhante argues, but because the heirs did not fully understood that walking on the edge.

Never stood between soldiers on the front, between fighting seeking crowds, never seen real blood and people hurting and killing others, if not walking untouchable, when such time comes, one might be really in troubles. Its seemingly out of effect doing such from a comfort zone, but its just a question of time that such kamma does not only make the practice harder but also slowly appears physical.

Bhante would do good seeking possible ways in Burma to walk on, because that what he sees far away already blocks possible path right around him.

Be well and possible turn to Dhamma and what should be your skill. No way to safe socialy and people in the west, since there is no more upanissaya.

"Run to the hills!"



When then reading further "AN EXAMPLE OF PC SCIENCE DENIAL: THE ISSUES", no need to go into the nonsensical philosophical and historical arguing, but simply look at the speech ans word Bhante uses, than that all is simply a shame. Use of words like a "homie" anywhere in a bar in a US-township or in a farmer village sunday talk at the villages pub.

That is really of no use for anyone.

Postmodern, feminism, pseudoliberalism has already created their right-extrem leaders naturally since to crowd need orientation and leading, and it just a matter of short time that the big show will go on again. So be sure that you are on a neutral place, with a mind not taking side, when it grows warm, the sooner one goes on to try to leave, and take on the path, the better. Don't turn around, you might be tempt to help what is not possible.

Just walk on, you might met people, seeing the fire you left in you behind coming after, and if they have needed foundation they might follow. Its follish to lead others into a fight, yet sitting still on a safe "place", better having some merits left.

If trying to help, never use the folk, the crowd, the poor, ensnared hardly. You will not like to see the hurting each other and be punished by their chefs.

Such political monks are those who destroy the Dhamma and right view in Asia, taking on either left or right, for the poor or rich... that is exact not the way.

The would be planty of work in the society Sangha and work to bend ones on view and that of the fellows, but that does not seems tasty, since seeking for supporters under lay people and liking to use the housing the Sangha provides. Right next, one likes to live in harmony.

You do not provide samples at all, being criticised and disrespecting Dhamma and Vinaya and critic. Itks rally meaningless to build on outsiders, yet not established faith in the Juwels and precepts.

Okasa

Bhante Paññobhāsa ,

currently again touched by the The Aṭ­ṭ­hakavagga , my person would like to ask whether it is still Bhantes possession or abounded, given away outwardly.

In the first case my person would like to ask for it to be dedicated and given to the Sangha of the eight directions and it's faithful followers and to possible make it good available via accesstoinsight.eu for this purpose.

May Bhante take care to do not sacrifice unique possibility for highest for the sake of low and the world, independent from it, how ever "just" it might seem in a degenerating period of decay. Beings are heirs of their kamma, so Bhante as well, don't forget if touched and annoyed.

Bhante Paññobhāsa currently develops "finally" left wings, runs domestically and is total overcome by indoxication in youth, health and life.

An Aeon in highest heaven for those able to cut off his wings of miccha and reesrablish him in right and no downfall for his follower and disciples when doing what ever wholesome effort to bring him back to mind, as not doing ones duties breaks one apparr from being good related!


Samana JohannMay 1, 2021 at 4:12 AM:
Bhante! There are really less things not possible to be solved. Please don't fall into indoxication with youth, health, life and urgendly seek association with good friends, leaving this consumer hosts.

Samana JohannMay 1, 2021 at 4:16 AM
May Bhante challenge my person in argumentation, may he come over to sangham.net, as my person has a hard to dwell on markets. Where has Bhantes compassion gone to go after such selfish and foolish thoughts?

Samana JohannMay 1, 2021 at 5:20 PM
Life isn't yours. Given what's hard to be given, may Bhante abound all kinds of status and go on for the heartwood of the gift of the sages, as a recluse under the Gems. Not for virtue, not for concentration, not for knowledge, is this way given, but for very release from the dirt of trade. Unbound, he wouldn't go back anywhere, left the domain of holding on losers and weak behind.

Anonymous🦏May 3, 2021 at 1:13 AM
I have been reading your blog and I'm very sad for you now, specially because I see myself in you, and I seek ordination. I think about what is going to happen in the future and I get a bit hopeless. Will I end up disrobing too??
It's shocking seeing someone disrobe after 30 years. You're more time in robes than I'm alive. It's really discouraging to read those posts about disrobing for who also wants to become a bhikkhu.


PaññobhāsaMay 3, 2021 at 1:39 AM
You are a different person from me. If you can master jhāna, or if you are willing to live in Asia your whole life or fudge on rules in the west, or if you do not have lots of rāga, then you may not have the same complications I have had. And anyway, being a monk and striving for just one day is better than a hundred years of being a total blue-pilled normie.

Samana JohannMay 3, 2021 at 9:08 AM
So why then thinking of öeaving the training, if the day today as monk is hundred times better as that of an loser without robes? At least, one should not forget the lose of manys faith and trust, the lost value of merits done toward one... so even if not seeing worth for ones person, it would be a matter of compassion to bear hardships one can not overcome yet, or?


PaññobhāsaMay 3, 2021 at 9:22 AM
Johann you don't get it at all. You simply assume that anyone not wearing monk robes is "an loser" which is ridiculous. As for the rest of your arguments, your English is so atrociously bad that I can't understand it half the time.


Samana JohannMay 3, 2021 at 12:45 PM
Actually, who ever has no hindrances but could walk the holly life in it's full, yet drunken in youth, health, life, or somebody going back to the low life is proper called a loser. Trying to make incapability to a virtue doesn't chance that. Given Bhantes statement before, in regard of 100 times more, may he count and discriminate which side is the losing one. Nobody not lost mind wouln't declare a drunkard other then a loser and any whould wish toward win (aside of foolish lefties and discrimination-deprived... sure). All that pain just for low desires of Sex at least... sell...


PaññobhāsaMay 3, 2021 at 12:56 PM
Maybe you should try reading ALL the reasons over again instead of just singling out one thing as some example, based on what you prefer to believe, as wrong and foolish and the path of a "loser." Maybe in a year we can see how happy or miserable I am and compare notes.


Samana JohannMay 3, 2021 at 1:10 PM
Look at this people there https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R6OZ-RvGw9s/YIM_kgN2X2I/AAAAAAAAETk/RWKYgkDkRyYWe5UYMHgwpbBgdAItj9hfQCLcBGAsYHQ/w576/more%2Balms%2Bin%2Blaymyay.jpg

Hundreds of the, 1000 times, gave what they saw a hero, a god, others then the article useing folk here. Aren't they not worthy to get not endangered that there gifts got lost by lose of mind somewhere under modern time wasting junkies and entertainment? It's since very long actually not even your body, but long time simply maintained by the faith toward the Gems. How can one pull that, if not total confused, down into the common world?
If Bhante really is up to relinquish such as status and desire for gain, than more then proper to abound this useless blog and bad friends all around first. Such would be leaving home, status and not as Bhante confused and drunken likes to construct to pull others with him for his worldly livelihoods. Bhante is able to leave home as soon as getting aware of the trap of thoughts just caught, and their cheating, the five "friends" (hindrances for holding on work and path). May Bhante relinquish what isn't benefical for him and many and hold firm on what is most benefical for him and many, and make use of given without bonds toward world, cast away the use of what isn't given and binds strongly in losing dependency and addictions.

It's not so that all what now appears wasn't clear to come, but sometimes on a peak, seeing suddenly ones stupidy, starts lisyening and puts effort into try to get the message, one might pull the breaks and get back to mind... (https://forum.sangham.net/index.php?topic=554.msg12336#msg12336 ) at least it's the last generation of homeless life under the Gems, really a lose if letting it fade for amuse.


Samana JohannMay 3, 2021 at 1:57 PM
"Maybe you should try reading ALL the reasons over again ...", again, there are only three reasons for going down to the low life: indoxication with youth, health, life. As for maybe possible, rather "small" grave wrongdoings, a "downgrade" to "simple Pabbajito"(formal Samanera) shouldn't be much hindrance to go on with the holly life without status. May Bhante consider wisely in regard of what's hard to gain but so easy lost by common loser and leftty folk (miccha's instead of samma). Right livelihood is just this for higher paths. It's, all the differend reasonings, simply the opposition of good, the five "friend's" arguments, and all comes down simply to this three reasons, loser reasonings.


The Reason Of UnreasonMay 3, 2021 at 9:17 PM
Samantha - are you a nun? If so at what nunnery/monastery? Because if you’re not a full time nun then I don’t see you have the right to tell Dave what to do because he’s been living it for thirty years. Eating insects, getting malaria repeatedly, getting rained on, and being totally celibate - and you?
Samantha, maybe he just wants to party a little before he croaks, and I sense you could do with letting your hair down a little too (if you’ve got hair - bald?)
Metta to you both


AnonymousMay 3, 2021 at 10:13 PM
Dear Samana,

I'm sure your intent is good in hoping to dissuade venerable Pannobhasa, however it seems as though ven. P is moving in this new direction in a good mental state, and also with good intent. Metta to both of you.


Samana JohannMay 4, 2021 at 7:33 AM
How could a running away debtor be imagined as directed to good mindstates? One who fullfills duty and task for what's given, is ones mind release.

Truly, with such "friends", associates, followers, no wonder at all, praising Mara and his lures and welcome failure to stay in "Sex"...
Nothing special with malaria and other burdens like that, if that would be all, really no qualification to imagen a hero, where a loser thinks time to develop.
Nobody past, present, in the future, will, could have even a thought of going back to low life, with good intention and is by nature of it caught by strong wrong view, even on the worldly level. It's really not a sign of compassion to approve such ideas at all, yet just something common, like doing lose-ward is common.
(Not to mention that my person hardly could imagen that even any of the consumer here around had ever supported Bhantes life, health, cloth, food, dwelling, so as you might be simple "co-corrupter" of dedications toward liberation and the Gems, missused Bhante with Bhantes tendencies, no wonder that not feeling lose by past sacrifices, having approached just for consume, between online-gaming, work and porns, most propably.
And sure, may person doesn't care any rights, but is never stingy to leave some of real "political incorrect" (not for sake of entertainment, socialization, gains) stuff for liberation and independency, first of all from bad assosiation, behind. May Bhante comes to mind and let that behind, of which really is neither given nor of any use here, but strings that bond him down till where he faces himself, thinking, going total down would give release of the many tensions, but it's about leaving home, stand, and become a real homeless, of which would solve all struggles very quick for him.
Will be really heartbreaking when he will now try to take on your side, fearing the lose of his refuge, "friends"... Watch it out, householders will love and fall for it!

Samana JohannMay 3, 2021 at 12:33 PM
Maybe some of Bhantes disciples and followers consider their duties and approach him for intensive talks on it: "If dissatisfaction (with the celibate life) arises in the mentor, one should allay it or get someone else to allay it or one should give him a Dhamma talk. If anxiety (over his conduct with regard to the rules) arises in the mentor, one should dispel it or get someone else to dispel it or one should give him a Dhamma talk. If wrong view arises in the mentor, one should dissuade him or get someone else to dissuade him or one should give him a Dhamma talk.

Sure, not all have good disciples or followers, but rather consumer who wouldn't really care. Certain kammic bond, anyhow.

Rat TropolisMay 3, 2021 at 1:31 PM
It can be very difficult to make sense of broken English but if I understand Samana Johan he is saying your disciples should give you a Dhamma talk because you are renouncing your celibacy and you are a very bad boy when it comes to following the rules.
I think this is a very good idea.
I already have two Dhamma talks ready for you, and can come up with more very easily and at short notice.
But will you listen?
(I think your mind is made up!)

PaññobhāsaMay 3, 2021 at 1:52 PM
Yeah I am a very bad boy who would rather have fewer rules to break.

(And yeah, I made up my mind months ago.)

"To exist is to transgress"

Samana JohannMay 3, 2021 at 5:56 PM
"to transgress is aging, sickness, death", is no freedom of remorse, no lokuttara paticcasamupada... "refuge" in lose. Taking it as fun, s**t the Gems on the head, ones given support, ones parents, goodness, selling them off for evil friendship, ways of Sex. How does Bhante think that he could pay all goodness received back? Doesn't he remember all the loosy lay priests and Sasana slaves once thought "i can not bear the holly life" lets be a ordinary person... Don't he remember their helpless ways to ever get right of remorse, by either hard work or even fatal corrupt stealing from the Gems?


Samana JohannMay 4, 2021 at 7:55 AM
At least near certain duties and not taking away faith and rejoicing in the Gems, Bhante. Most what he blessed here the last years was actually far off any duty and increase of good. Or did my person missed out the Anumodanas, Dhamma citing, encouragements toward good here, especially after alms, here? So now, where to invest the alms received? Bogsoftware, or another bought polit-book, a webcam?... What one searches for cones along, inclinated like-a-like gathers together.

...and nothing wrong, but a Sadhu, to abound improper!

May Bhante soon find "back" into the wilds of SEA and of cause he is always most welcome here at the Ashram, sure, Malaria and first new disease bodily included to pleasing dwelling and rest. May he does quick, as "worlds" close up and certain ways end, now as he got another ticket toward unbond.

Samana JohannMay 4, 2021 at 9:25 AM
Oh, wait! Maybe Bhante does better for his furrher rides to get his Mercedes blessed by his fellows likewise. A string around his brain and some parittas so that the knowledge didn't get damaged and allows attracting rides through the internet and book shops. It's hard to make a living without status and means out there, where generosity ends and binding trades domain. One has to beat an Audi and get ones Yana polished and steady upgraded through the lanes.

As Bhante loves music of the old: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qev-i9-VKlY

Not taking serious any reminder or rebuke, avoiding to take stand on critical questions and already become a typical selfish lefty by means of censoring what ever "political incorrect", what ever right but not pleasant for strong defilements, on straight lane downwardly, possible useless to put any further effort in direction of useful encouraging...

Back in low life already, taking with him what ever can be pulled down into Samsara...

...     So I got a ride to Fremont on the 8th and met with some old friends and supporters there. My buddy Aaron, who used to be my chief supporter and “bag man” (handler of donations on my behalf), came for a visit, but he had recently hurt his back so we didn’t do the traditional walk around the nearby lake. Burmese supporters came to give me a friendly farewell and donated several hundred dollars to help me on my way to a new life. I suspect some of them didn’t know I was planning to drop all the way out, or even down to samanera, although I doubt that they would have changed their minds about the donations—and if they knew I might have received even more donations out of compassion or “old times’ sake” or some such.

     Even before setting out for Fremont I had begun handling money openly. Just a few days before the trip began a very nice Burmese fellow asked if he could donate some cash for the trip, even calling it “cash” instead of using some euphemism, and for the first time in 30 years I simply consented and held out my hand for it. I openly accepted the donations in Fremont too, which was really a strange transition for me. But it seems handling money isn’t such a big deal in American anymore, for reasons I will get to before we’re done....

Sad story, or better shamefull and selfish... May good householder soon find back on Noble track.

Paññobhāsa May 23, 2021 at 5:07 PM
All right, you have had your say. In fact you have had your say, obsessively, about 50 freaking times. You are so self-righteous that you utterly fail to see your own fanatical dogmatism, attachment to views, and foolishness. This is one reason (in addition to your execrable English) that I didn't want to interact with you years ago. The readers of this blog have seen maybe half of the relentless onslaught of comments you have attempted to post, referring to them (let alone the author of this blog) as fools and losers. I will not post any more of your narrow minded and foolish comments.

(possible censured, like all hard stuff and especially woman matters) Johann:: Lefties react like that if confronted with a strong mirror. Good householder didn't replay even once but steady seeks ways to escape real importand matters. Doesn't he think that a stanza like: "In the youth not amassed health... in old age not renounced... such is really a wasted auspicious human life"
Good householder didn't published only one of the real "hard" stuff but simply uses like all lefties of heritages for their comfortable living off. Once confronted by real "political incorrect", truth, going against ones desires for gain, then no weapon and means of fighting it away isn't used quick.



Another really faith destructive story of so many living simply off heritages and their old great merits... when they come to mind years later, when suffering is seen again, all they can do is crying about their stupidity.

Thought that it might be possible to give Grandfather Renold some clear winks to come to mind and back to right, taking his new left undertaking "spiritual Right" as clear object of this tendency, it's not possible for now as Saddha requires Dukkha and still total indoxicated...

Samana JohannFebruary 8, 2022 at 6:42 PM

What's now the different between good householder and the lefties? Is there still one? Maybe because lefties neglegt to pay the bills as well? Where did good householder got all the ideas from? Bought in shops and paid for it, or just taken on wrong view: 'I have a right...!'. There are less areas not dominated by plunder and the one or other kind of anarchic ideas. The spirituallity of the poor ones, following Robin Hood...

"And if one really is intent on renunciation in a society that does not support that, then what does one do?", sex, sensuality, is the opposite of renunciation. So one needs to leave sociaties, relations, based on what ever kind of trade for pleasures, first that of exchange of body fluids... A corrupt heart isn't able to leave, is bond to Mara, yet calls for right to gain liberation, not seeing who holds on suffering like if it is real refuge and pleasing.

Just in the case that good householder like to assist in regard of another Squattering undertaking of the punks around SC. As Devadatta Sujato is just up on stealling the last not by punks occupied Dhamma, that of the Khmer, he might have an idea in regard of what might merit a lot: some on it here (of course shut down): https://buddhism.stackexchange.com/questions/46539/ongoing-stealing-at-suttacentral-how-should-a-devoted-react and here: https://forum.sangham.net/index.php?topic=629.msg27628;topicseen#new . It's of course not a matter of right, but a duty to keep the Dhamma out of being occupied by Brahmanic traders, their punks and the guild of consumer. To use Dhamma-Vinaya is of course more of use the certain right-lefties philosophy. Would he be 'weaponed' to do such task, say for Khema, real Khmer?

Btw., as my person thought of what would be the proper conduct and spiritual acount now, for a devoted householder: Did good Renolds ever went after the duties of an virtuous and faith full Upasaka? Ever gave food to monks, helped in monastery, encouraged other to meet the monks in ways it's proper done and as a good encouragement that western can be good lay-buddhist as well, as he 'enjoyed' many, many years? Why not sharing merits? That's total political incorrdct, yet the way which joyful taken on duties excell out cries for right (the lefties, slaves, way). Freedom of making goid, merits!

    Johann I think is saying there is a right and wrong way to be poor. Many, perhaps most poor, don't care about sila, they care about getting high and robbing others. The rightists assume they are more ethical, but many are not. The right doesn't even like giving. At least they like family. If one is not wageslaving in the rights agenda one is nothing to the right's overlords. Democrats and Republicans are two different monsters, both inhumane and alien religions per say, and crushing humanity to death from both sides. There needs to be a party that respects Dana, Sila, Medicine, and the "Business of Man," that can also defend itself from total puthujjanas, for whom any reason serves thier tyranny or theft.
    Samana JohannFebruary 11, 2022 at 7:11 AM

    Even relation is result of ones choices. Sacrificing strong toward sensuality binds more and more, to home, limited livelihood possibilities, yes also deper. Non-stinginess is the attribute of all Ariya-puggala, even the cause for just heavens. Nobody gains great wealth even on earth if not having given causes previously. Just, as the Buddha told: not gained wealth in the youth, not renouncing (sensuality) in the old, that's indeed a not wise used seldom human life. Yet, the better of the two, renouncing, everybody could do, if willing, what ever foolish ways taken before, right here and now, if seeing the real danger, the real tyranny origin actually in ones own heart. Nobody called one to become where one takes place aside of ones desires, craving, and not-knowing, ignorance, good householder.
    Ex-emporiumFebruary 11, 2022 at 4:11 PM

    Let's not forget the working poor who are simply trying to keep their families alive, safe, and marginally happy. In many cases it's not about getting high or robbing, but it may be a matter of living beyond one's means for reasons difficult to explain or even justify. People get sick, they make bad investments or concessions to keep a marriage going "for the kids", etc. The right extols family values, but when is the last time one could maintain a traditional single earner
    household? Are the big companies gonna pay those kinds of wages anymore? Let's also not forget the left which wrecked the economy decades ago starting with the Great Society.

Metta and virtue (right view) makes one not only lighter by heart but even worthy of being given a right, a gift.

Interesting blog post my good man. As an aging western theravada layman, I never imagined how difficult it would be to merely keep just the 5 precepts. For homies it's really just finding a niche where one can maintain them and it sets one way above the puthujjana (defined as: one who in everyway whatsoever lacks the 5 spiritual qualities, faith, sila, ditthi, etc.) The poor ought to attempt to be worthy of gifts. Elites and employers ought to attempt to be worthy to "work for." Especially with things like betrayal, invidiousness, gaslighting, racism, theft, price gauging, usury, etc, increasing in society, how does one stay safe? A huge question, is, how does one know who are the good friends to associate with, before its too late?! The problem ones are extremely good actors who will fool one. It even feels like society is designed to make sick wageslaves, and literally prevent spiritual endeavors and awakenings. This is due to layers and layers of lies that were all inflicted and covered up time and time again by corrupt heathen governments and cults. Some do attain a decent escape from the ratrace as NEETs, if they are very strategic, intelligent, and ethical, but it is typically extremely isolating, at least psychologically. As an unrelated question, I am extremely interested and would like to ask: why you were unable to maintain your samadhi practice in your ordained life? What percentage of monks are attaining and maintaining samadhi to thier own satisfaction? Is it necessary in order to not return to the sensual society? What could be done to help monks attain it? Why couldn't you wander the country as a ordained monk bum? You said it'd be a non-starter, why is this so? Do you think society is intentionally designed this way to prevent this?

    Grandfather Renolds might be not willing to confess that desire for Sex is the worlds and their societies bonds. It requires to gain right view to start to work ones way out As soon as again becoming homie/leftie again, there would be no Samadhi. Gospel singing and claiming is their way to try to work out the path, as not willing to let go of Sex, they call for others to join. And notions of Sex go even deeper, good householder: Methuna Sutta: The Discourse on Coupling https://sangham.net/en/tipitaka/sut/an/an07/an07.047.tanp And yes, a no-returner is one gained Samadhi, as left sensuality behind. One not having reached that point, would at least return one more time. One who gained the path, 'ordain' at most seven times again, if lazy and awaiting heavy suffering to come.
    The Niche to have a way for everyone, given by the Sublime Buddha, is the going forth and it's 'social network structure'.
    The questions aren't unrelated, yet, to gain ordination is a matter of being given, liberal, not a right at all, as thinking on rights is grave wrong view. Like it's total liberal of laypeople, yet not within the noble domain, to be generous toward the Sangha. Yet, the Buddha reminded his monks once, not willing to ordain an older poor man, that he had provided some of them with food, aside of having normally made his life by services in the monastery. Things have reasons, as bonds have reasons: by binding, demanding, calling for rights. Yet Saddha, surrender to giving (up material, world, house) is the key out.

Samana JohannFebruary 13, 2022 at 6:29 PM

(Please), for you own sake and support of others in best ways, let go of grave wrong view of the lefties, "I have a right", since this is the cause of all evil. One even the Dhamma of the Buddha is declared in such way, people demand spiritual right, this very gems disappear right there and long term pain for many can be suspected? You'd might be not quick and free enough to see evil arising in your heart, so seek out for association that categorically does not accept doubts in basic right view. One becomes fast that one dislikes seeing it outwardly, and it's desire for sensuality that leads to the next fetter of views. Practice best where you are, give what you own, to those worthy of gifts, uphold right view, gratitude, virtue, the path develops itself (on the given causes).

    So good householder Renould is definitely a lefty, rejecting it... Well: if wishing to learn the lefties way of thinking, observe the mind. And yet, a lefty "buddhist" wouldn't care about his duties but seeks to make a lifing, a gain with it.

    "And how is one made [a lefty] by mental action? There is the case where a certain person is covetous. He covets the belongings of others, thinking, 'O, that what belongs to others would be mine!' He bears ill will, corrupt in the resolves of his heart: 'May these beings be killed or cut apart or crushed or destroyed, or may they not exist at all!' He has wrong view, is warped in the way he sees things: 'There is nothing given, nothing offered, nothing sacrificed. There is no fruit or result of good or bad actions. There is no this world, no next world, no mother, no father, no spontaneously reborn beings; no brahmans or contemplatives who, faring rightly & practicing rightly, proclaim this world & the next after having directly known & realized it for themselves.' This is how one is made impure in three ways by mental action.
    Samana JohannFebruary 16, 2022 at 8:39 AM

    Of course, the "smart" would always let go of right view, even that of the path, if it goes in the way to part-take sensuality. That's common 'flexibility' (of defilemtents) yes. It's really hard to imagen what good householder Renoulds 30 years in robes did? Obiviously not taken refuge but just the space, right? Well, maybe he thought it's 'spiritual right' and one has just this life...

    PaññobhāsaFebruary 16, 2022 at 3:16 PM

    Oh man, judging from your compulsive scolding and denigration, I would say you have more hate in your heart than I do.
    Samana JohannFebruary 16, 2022 at 4:22 PM

    Good householder, wouldn't a non informed child not usually think that his mother or father are doing for harm, are full of hatred, dislike me, when, just caught up by foolish thoughts, they harshly verbally urge to let go of the way of conduct, the way of thinking, by means of "only this has to be seen as focus "right view"? And did not even the Arahats hardly urged, to never, ever give up wrong view? It's of course that people, like stubborn children, seldom see that not a little hatred is behind of their urging. May good householder, even just for one line of thoughts of consideration, assume that one who really acts for his welfare, has no slightest self interest thought, tries to make me think clear. Would good householder be able to follow such hypotheses and preoccupation to reconsider again and maybe see who 'act'ually speaks to him and other? The are those who are beyond hatred in their heart, and their words, advice, guardian. Having traced, on surrender (saddha) one is able to gain liberating refuge.

    Good householder Renolds. Did you considered that your undertaking here is like founding the first labor union. Does good householder really believe that the Sublime Buddha would exept and approve "Buddhist labor union"? Why to try to get pension or social support, at times not working. Why expect the credit of others to compensate that what has not been accumulate by own deeds? No right master would ever sacrifices a little further if duties start to be neglected and call for rights and demands arise. For labor unions goodness in this world right there disappear and the gate to hell and pain opens as soon as this path of demanding is taken on. Let go of wrong view, let go of the evil to even act as a union leader for those who would need nothing more that guardians and clear way, sets of secure duties, like the Buddha gave Singala.

    Samana Johann, you actually compare yourself to a loving parent and a disinterested saint, while you have called me (let alone the readers of this blog) a "loser" several times, and you make up ridiculous false accusations and insinuations, such as the idea that wanting a traditionalist form of Buddhism in the west is like starting a labor union. All one has to do is look at your onslaught of semicoherent spam in this comments section alone to see your mental states, and the apparent fact that you are oblivious to some of your own volitions.
    Samana JohannFebruary 16, 2022 at 7:00 PM

    So good householder thinks that somebody returning to seek refuge in Mara, sensuality, isn't a loser? Steping out and looking at this undertaking here and good householder would quickly see what he translated from Snp. An Union leader, trying to form a boat for his fellows, claiming others being the reason for their misery. Sure it's now much harder haven taken on the left course himself also outwardly, not able to leave house and look at it with right yonisomanasikhara, not a householders yoini-so-manasikhara. And there are Saints, thats part of right view. Lefties deny it, saying all equal, we seek refuge in denanding rights. Good householder not only one time compared said with that of the Buddha but whether it supports his house/stand or not. Thats the lefties political correct way of view, yet not the political incorrect, not conductive for 'sex' and worldly gains Dhamma. Lefties dislike it and what if banned. Calling for rights is actually nothing else as the hindrance of byāpāda, and seeking for approve of ones stand,vfear of losing house, one does not work, in the world and for higher as well. Again, it requires to see the Dhamma to see the Arahat, seeing the Arahat, one is able to see the Dhamma. Yet itjs difficult for former wanderers of other sects to ever surrender and go beyond the three lower fetters. Yet possible. Did good householder ever met a former monk approaching him, while he was a monk in traditional land, who acted, spoke and regarded unskilled like him even outwardly, like he does? Let good householder tell of the burdens of former monks, trying to gain any stand. What duties of a ordinary good lay devoted had he done in his lifetime, yet before? It's sure not a light question? What had be been supplied by others without they had been driven by him claiming a right but simply in faith or out of compassion?
    If anything is wrong in regard of the Dhamma of the Buddha, aside of not pleasing to approach those without faith, my good householder point it out. He maybe will not find and so, fearing lose of stand, stay with the evil friend, of the five, byāpāda and takes vicikicchā as well into the boat of 'spiritual' right. Imagine the Brahmas calling for spiritual rights... that real poor.

Prepareth to understand brothers. Jews and Reptilians are two evil monster factions, with rebel good members, basically the Petas and Naga factions. Buddha refused to ordain a shape-shifting Naga in the Vinaya and told him to make merit and human rebirth instead. They CAN be good and ought to be, and waste thier time here. Either faction can dominate an area, but will typically unite together against white man. Both view actual humans as pets to conquer and own and win to thier side thru crime and manipulation. Jews are human bodys with bad genetics, defiled to house bad spirits, ghosts. They are the crypts, the drauger of elderscrolls, geomancer ghosts clinging to our world thru the evil jew bodies, larping as Nephilim. Reptilians are the bloods (the Argonians) and can be liberal or conservative. Both types appear to have a more hive mind pyramid hierarchy of command and are extremely telepathic. In animal kingdom, the telepathic win the hunt..
They hate any telepathic whites and discredit them as schizos to breed them out and make humans blind. Nephilim and Reptilians have less free will being hive minds, and do not understand freewill, and lack imagination and creative abilities, having a range of choice but having to take orders from thier hive or den. They both think lying and deception and interlopingsare virtues, which is the root of nearly all unnecessary problems in society, but they would rather goto war and be reborn in Hell than admit thier faults and take personal responsibility, and simply remeber themselves. The longer they goto Hell, the longer Man goes to Heaven, although compassionate Man still hopes they repent and we can all be friends. The worst are reptilians with a ghost in them, making them extra evil, a kike lizard, basically a fag or dyke snake. It appears many reptilians are conservatives lower ranks and hard workers, but its difficult for them to be good, since they've taken up a worldwide lie against humans, casting a literal spell on everyone, to cloak themselves, in fear of being enslaved by humans. They are experts of Illusion magic.. In thier thinking, each person is either predator or prey, period. That's all they can comprehend. This makes them total heathens and is a pyhhric victory for them, since still in karma, they waste thier opportunity to gain merit and rebirth as human again, and secure thier ludicrously long future in dugatim rebirth, along with the ghost jews, and the yakkha demons (basically, black people, who have already blacked nearly all cultures of the entire Earth). It's easy to lose hope being born as a dugatimers, since it's so difficult to be decent and good once there. Now the jew ghost supports burials in Graves. This is so they gain an anchor point back to the world of the living, then work on corrupting people in order to possess the unethical victim. Now you blessed schizos will understand: whatever you think of, instantly, that is what you are talking to, and what will hang around you in the spirit world, either harassing you or aiding you, hating or loving you. Unfortunately only white humans seem naturally capable of logic and truth, it is possible yet extremely difficult for the dugatim beings.

Language: it's not a matter of language as a pattern of sound, but a pattern of less or strong sakkāyadiṭṭhi. People with much, either German, Engl., Khmer, aren't pleased, seek for translator. Otherwise, those knowing the talk, have no problem at all (when proper attention is present). When papanca-dhamma is present, no way to receive the gifts.

The Krabat movie possible would have given good Renolds much motivation to point the issue out, some years ago, now he would just use it for his left way, probably... As one of the 'liberated' and 'heros'... for Mara and the circle of death.

In SEA one says "he has gone astray to left" when someone leaves the Dhamma, good ways, goes for sensuality, trades or in other ways devoted to the corrupt. So he's now left behind, left, behind, or the blog started...
Quote
Indeed, the truth that many people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more you try to avoid suffering, the more you suffer, because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you, in proportion to your fear of being hurt. The one who does most to avoid suffering is, in the end, the one who suffers most: and his suffering comes to him from things so little and so trivial that one can say that it is no longer objective at all. It is his own existence, his own being, that is at once the subject and the source of his pain, and his very existence and consciousness is his greatest torture. This is another of the great perversions by which the devil [Mara in ones heart] uses our philosophies to turn our whole natures inside out, and eviscerate all our capacities for good, turning them against ourselves.
