Sadhus in India used to get dispensation in the old days. Does that still hold or do the old rascals get busted these days?

LLAP: Live long and prosper.

Yes.

The most beautiful responses to this thread, I found in the Net ´vid´-documentaries on the variety of ZORBA flashmob spontaneous dancing all over the globe, like also in Birmingham 2012, in Chania 2013/14, Rethymnon (Crete), in Vienna and so on, happenings in the midst of city life, inviting citizens to spontaneously join the dance, old and young, kids and so-called grown-ups; it worked for me like a kind of remedy to digest some of the lines being written here.

(On top of it I also found the ‘vid´ of Anthony Quinn dancing the Zorba with Mikis Theodorakis here in Munich (summer 1995), when those two old wonderful guys met here for the ´ZORBA´).

By that I´d like to say neither the ´Zorba´ nor the ´Buddha´ qualities of life in the body and celebrating Existence with awareness in expression and the joy to share that with other human beings can be talked about:

It has to be lived, moment to moment.

Moments when these two qualities were meeting, I recall in the Sangha, when the ripples of laughter following a joke or our short gibberish meditations have then been followed by Nivedano´s drumbeats, and then – Melting into Silence.

´Zorba the Buddha´ is all about celebration and about celebrating to Be alive in a body, no special ´marriage´ is needed, because we ARE IT.

The Tibetans say it is very precious to be incarnated in a body.
Quite easy to forget this preciousness and what that means.

Love,

Madhu

Well, at least, we can see that lifting heavy things with the sexual organs is not only for those stinking, ugly and disgusting ‘yogis’ who give spectacles in that country where all the religions were born…

What is the country’s name? I’ve forgotten, sorry!

Can there be better answer than “Tickets, please”?!
