Bad Bunny's hidden Halftime message

The Dhammapada

Why did Bad "Benito" Bunny quote the Buddha at the Grammys and the Super Bowl? It's a good message. In the Dhammapada the Buddha:

"Hatred is never appeased by hatred in the world. By love (non-hatred) alone is hatred appeased. This is a timeless truth." (Dhp 1.5)

It's a way of saying that the ONLY thing more powerful than seething hatred (dosa) is cooling love (metta).

• Three poisons: greed, HATRED, delusion
• The Roots of Good and Evil (múla)

When the Buddha says, "This is a timeless truth," also translated as "eternal law," he is saying that it is nothing new to say so. Everyone knows or has known it; it has been taught before and will be taught again; it is not a truth that belongs to anyone.

Leaders are super friends, but not followers?

Surely, other doctrines and teachers teach and have taught this -- Jesus, Mohammed, Krishna, Medicine Women, tribal chieftains, and others. An atheist sitting in silence might even come to realize it.

Fire isn't really fought with fire, unless one doesn't mind more burning. Water wouldn't get rid of water without leaving extra water around. Sure, "like cures like" in homeopathy (and in Louis Pasture's discovery), but how does it do it?

No, you dummies, not water! "Fight fire with fire!" Drop more flames on top of these flames!

.

Fire! Burn, burn, burn! Burn it all down!

It does it by provoking a powerful opposite response. Firefighters know that we can burn grass off to stop a raging forest fire, thus depriving it of fuel to continue. That seems like fire fighting fire, but it's actually cleverness fighting it. And it is soon extinguished with what, more fire? No, with non-fire. Calming cool replaces raging heat.

In homeopathy, the very thing that is troubling one, like an allergen, can be intensified (by what looks like dilution but is actually rarefication and sublimation) by provoking the body to realize what it is up against and using its natural abilities to counteract it.

Another summary of the show

Q: What's the best way to do away with and be rid of an enemy? Hmmm. Think. A: Make that person a friend. That would end it right there.

Wouldn't it be so great to get along with the Spanish-speaking Americans we invade, colonize, and then discriminate against? Maybe one day Puerto Ricans could be "Americans." (Oh, they are? Well, there you go. Success!)
