the power or ignorance of being
a ludicrous performance eliciting derision from an unaligned outsider. i'm the unaligned outsider, and am glad to remain that way.
the brain is a malleable entity, both physiologically and psychologically.
lewd imaginations frequently give rise to the creation of some of the world's
best theories, principles and beliefs. the power of persuasion and the cruel
effects of brainwashing have been the forerunners of everything we know and
acknowledge. the evolution of history, language, and the existence of humankind
are but mere biased interpretations of bygone beings and influences. our minds create
problems and hopes. the ego, id and ed, are scary reminders of the bizarre ways
that the brain regulates our behaviours, our consequential actions and the
solaces that keep us going, generation after generation.
our minds create guilt. being social creatures, guilt begets the need to be
forgiven, for the ultimate need to be loved and accepted. our minds create
aspirations; "if we could save time in a bottle, if words could make wishes come
true." we fill our bottled lives with insatiable hope, which viciously gives us
faith. we seek interventions when desires and wishes are not humanly attained,
and the amorphous faith comforts us with the possibility of a constant in an
ever changing environment.
that we open our arms to religion during pivotal periods of our lives bears
testament to our humanly need for protection, assurance and hope.
that such institutions command so much influence and power on their lay
people, bears testament to the emptiness of our humanly existence, and a
desperate need for tenets (created and shared by the human mind) to guide us
through life. what do we live for?
that institutions are overflowing with funds and their grand scale
constructions, bear testament to the commercialisation and economics of our
"perceived tenets of life".
he/she who persuades and influences, COMMANDS.
that is our essential ignorance, and power.
myanmar's monks protest
The Patimokkha Rules on Bhikkhu (monks & nuns) etiquette, "Going to a battlefield, a roll call, an array of the troops in battle formation or to see a review of the battle units while one is staying with an army is a pacittiya offence." [Pac.50]
Burma's revered monks, messengers and embodiment of the teachings of Lord Buddha, have waged a brave peaceful protest against the repressive and violent junta.
correct me if i'm wrong; monkhood leads to a "total unbinding and without clinging" path, absolved from the strings of politics. bhikkus seek "knowledge and vision of things as they are, for the sake of disenchantment, disenchantment for the sake of release" (Parivara.XII.2)
y then, are they at the epicenter of the current political protest? knowing full well that their presence would spur the uproar of political dissent amongst the lay people, and the high possibility of bloodshed, unrest and distruction? clinging onto the unpleasantries and suffering of life.
on the other hand, if the monks persist in isolation and are totally absolved from the sufferings of the people they serve, then the spirit of compassion is dead.
