Buddha the prizefighter: Paul vs. Tyson



Is spectator Racism a demon at performances?
First of all, let's get one thing straight. "The Buddha" never fought anyone. "The Bodhisattva" did. Who's the Bodhisattva? He was the Buddha before enlightenment -- same stream, different time. (Before he becomes the "Awakened One," he is called the Bodhisatta or "being bent on supreme enlightenment"). He for aeons before his great awakening (maha-bodhi) was wandering through endless rebirths (samsara) like the rest of us are still doing.

Girl fights are better: Russian "Sumo" wrestlers.

Fight the real power [a corrupt FBI agency*].
At that time he was making foolish mistakes that would come back to haunt him, as ours do for us. In one rebirth in particular, he was a strong prizefighter, who would take to the ring and wrestle. He was a champion. In one match, he slammed an opponent down to the ground, injuring the fighter's back so severely that later, as the Buddha, he frequently suffered from excruciating back pain as a karmic consequence.

A chicken fight? - We're cocks.
The pain was so bad that would make him unable to continue teaching. He would often have Ven. Sariputra, one of his chief disciples "foremost in wisdom," take over, while the Buddha laid down and rested. The pain got so bad as he got older that he had to resort to entering states of samadhi (jhana, "meditative absorption") to make it tolerable or put the physical pain into abeyance.
  • The explanation for the ultimate source of the Buddha's back pain is given in the Jataka Tales ("Rebirth Stories") as the playing out of karma (the vipaka and phala) from when he was a boxer, wrestler, fighter in the ring.
Don't make this about race, you Ignorant!
This is strange because he did not attack his opponent violently and personally, but rather by mutual consent and in a professional capacity. They were both taking a chance, and no one thought the Bodhisattva was doing anything wrong for "just doing his job" of professionally fighting.

Heavy unskillful karma (demerit) was nevertheless generated, which came to fruition many times in his final rebirth as the Buddha. (Full enlightenment makes an end of all further rebirth and suffering).

What about gambling? (The Fix Is In)
In the future, war is much nicer with lights and lasers, sabers and classical music scores.

The Fix Is In: The Showbiz Manipulations of the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and NASCAR
Investigative author Brian Tuohy, with 4.3 out of 5 stars after172 ratings, looks behind the facade of professional sports in America: It's all about fair play and the goal of winning championships.

At least that's the spin. But could it be a massive showbiz operation filled with greedy owners, crooked referees, and coddled players, all with the unstated goal of grabbing as much money as possible?

Author, sports buff Brian Tuohy
Tuohy provides a fully sourced saga of the corruption that has infected the storied histories of the NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL, and NASCAR.

With reality obscured by a complacent and often complicit sports media, The Fix Is In shines a light on a hidden history of clandestine arrangements between TV networks [is Netflix a network now?] and sports leagues, all against a background of drinking, drugging, gambling, and crime. More

COMMENTARY
*Sports Gambling, Fixing, FBI
Do not bet on this sport. Anyone who gambles with the ambition to win will be manipulated out of money. At least bet on the big picture, not the narrative being pitched. If we had to guess, Jake Paul is going to win. Why? Nothing to do with his fighting or ability, everything to do with showbiz, FBI gambits, and the way to spin a narrative for maximum profit. (Of course, it cannot even be guaranteed that Paul will take it because the real is act is waiting to see how the bets stack up: Which outcome produces the greatest number of losses for the greatest number of bettors? That's what sports bookies, statisticians, and fixers are all about calculating). Think about it. Who wants to see a big, hated monster with a lisp win and win again? No. Watch Rocky and take a Hollywood script writing class. To build drama for the next fight, Match 3, there has to be something big on the line like Tyson's pride, the belt, the record. That's what he gets paid millions for selling out. How do they calculate who should win? That's easy. How do they calculate who will win? That's trick. When the masses zig, the number crunchers and fixers have to zag. It's like setting the odds on slot machines.
