how about you?

Sex is best when it’s offered. Unfortunately some are wrongly wired and get their sexual pleasure from the discomfort of others. It is a pathology and should be seen as such. No excuses.

You know when you drop a book and it opens at the page that has your answer? On my current list is the “The Zen Manifesto”. This I listen to on audio (so it’s taking its time) … Chapter 8 on Inscape (what a word!!!) … (below I am giving the meat of the subject but check the whole of the answer)

First, the questions from the sannyasins.
Question 1
The first question:
APPARENTLY SEX WAS USED BY SOME ZEN MASTERS – FOR EXAMPLE, IKKYU – AS A WAY TO TRANSFORM ENERGY. HOWEVER, IN NO TRANSLATION TO DATE DOES EVIDENCE OF THIS APPEAR. IT SEEMS DISCIPLES EXCLUDED FROM THEIR RECORDS ABOUT THEIR MASTER ANY MENTION OF SEX, FOR FEAR THAT THEIR MASTER WOULD BE MISUNDERSTOOD.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO COMMENT?

Sex is not talked about by Zen masters, simply because it is taken for granted.

Sex is a long way. Nothing is wrong if somebody chooses the long way; if he enjoys the journey,
there is no harm. But if somebody wants a shortcut, then meditation is available as a shortcut. It is really reaching to the same experience, but by a shortcut.

In the cut throat world of God business, where dog..sorry Maharaj eats maharaj; the biggest catch is Imported girls as disciples. Once few Western women are around the Baba, rest of the marketing is done by itself. Masses of villagers find it easy to beleive in the competence and high credentials…
The latest “golden baba” is the cover news of a famous Hindi newssite,
http://www.bhaskar.com
Those who missed Osho or Punja ji have the chance to get the glimpse of real one. Even Lokesh will find it useful.

Besides, isn’t an ashram a whole lot more than just another therapy centre?
Atleast Osho Ashram was; much more than a therapy centre.
This much more” is still there, but with Massage Paralour!

“Hundreds of thousands of wounded males”, Shantam?! You’re discussing the Poona ashram, not avian victims of an oil-slick.

World newspapers are full with the story of successful athlete known as Blade runner. Boom boom boom, with four shots he has killed his super duper gorgeious girl friend..
Whenever i read such news, i remember Osho Ashram Pune..
Hundreds of thousands of wounded males have released their rage on pillow covers. What to say about killing, not even a slap was needed…
The decline of Osho Ashram under the political and social pressure of masses and power intrigue of the core group is truly a loss to the world.
If the thankless beneficiaries show a bit of courage, one of its kind institution can again become the hot spot for emotional surgeries.
Its revival will be the truest homage to Osho, the visionary mystic.

dont worry shantam,
when you become pope, you will be able to grope as much of that blue blood bikini-ed totty as you like, rather than just imagining what their members look like from pics in the daily mail…..

every monk or “religious” figure who deeclares himself celibate should be tested once a year for verification.
it would be a bit similar to drug testing for athletes.
biology and technology has certainly advanced to the stage where there are clear-cut methods to find out whether these kind of claims to celibacy can be proved or otherwise..

i`ve had enough of these
pervert popes
randy roshis
and groping gurus
and their so-called spiritual wisdom….

how about you?

I don’t get this groping… Don’t they think anyone is going to notice? Wouldn’t it be better to ask for permission?
