I mean I had one girlfriend whose psychiatrist, a mutual acquaintance, warned me that a continued relationship might not be good for me…

Well, I can say I have never been married, without revealing anyone else’s details. So I have escaped the natural zenmaster. But what about those women who are not zennish?

The idea of pointing to what doesn’t come or go is good, worth examining, but I’ve found it useful to look at the debris that all the coming and going has left. All sorts of things have contributed to that: Thich […]

Life is rich with all kinds of relationships, Satchit. You just have to be open to them.
Religiousness, though, is something not everyone has or is interested in. I thought Osho’s attempt at making a commune of […]

I think I will stay silent on my personal situation, to avoid talking about other people who are not fond of posting their details on the internet.

Yeah, the idea of a Tommy Cooper version of ‘I Am That’ does tickle my funny bone, Nisargadatta was not a great comedian.
Actually we want to bring back Monty Python, to do a film about gurus to sit next to ‘The […]

Leary was not wrong, it’s a shame that his voice was not heard so much in the 1990s when I could have used it. Great quote!
I’ve never been very much of a rebel, preferring to drift with the winds in my early […]

So do you feel the need to tear down figures of authority? The way other people bring them kind of builds them up in their eyes and in the eyes of others, and certainly what U.G. did was to attack scathingly, […]

Still, there are many things neo-Advaitins talk about such as self-inquiry which weren’t talked about by U.G. He wasn’t part of their stream in that way, even if the end position they reach is similar. He didn’t […]

I’m not big on authority myself, but I know some people respect it, and I’m willing to let them be in whatever path they have chosen.
I don’t think it’s possible to be a sannyasin and respectful of authority. […]

Good morning to you all.
I’ve been reading some of U.G.Krishnamurti’s books, it’s been interesting. He says that none of the methods taught in Indian religion for achieving moksha, liberation or enlightenment […]

Hohoho, you misunderstood my little joke…I was thinking we keep fruit-themed adjectives…’fermented’ and ‘tasty’ come to mind.

I think you are doing an injustice to the Germans everywhere, they’d never be so intentionally funny. Although admittedly there are a few German comedians out there.

Not bad, not bad. But even “lively…vital…spirited” doesn’t cover the exact meaning of ‘juicy’. At the risk of being a bit of a pedant, I’d say ‘juicy’ deserves its place in the lexicon, although admittedly I […]

Very good, Dominic, I was being shameless…
But give me another word that covers the meaning, I couldn’t arrive at one easily.

Well then, feel free to try other adjectives, maybe they will catch on….

Certainly true, the Middle Way is not perfectly explained. If the Buddha, instead of giving 84,000 short teachings, had actually written one book explaining exactly what he meant I suspect Buddhism would have been […]

I recently came across a set of notes from a near-death-experience diary, where the writer had been asked to summarise what message his experience had given him to take away, after some years of contemplation. […]

Yeah, I know, ‘just sitting’ while facing a wall, very good Zen practice. Personally, I find it better to watch the clouds in the sky or maybe find a little bit of garden.
