Proof: Trump's GAY tendencies revealed


  • Deep down [his throat], DJ Trump is with us!
    (The Jimmy Dore Show) Jimmy Dore and wife Stef Zamorano showcase gay humorist who has detected what MAGA afficionados try their hardest to deny. Surely an incestuous sexist pig, rapist, child molester who creeps female children and women could never be G-A-Y, not in the slightest. Except maybe he's so horny, so unrestrained, that like a pirate he'll do his sons and boys Epstein and Maxwell employ or men under him to satisfy his ego and deep emptiness?

Blowing Zen: Japanese flute for calm (audio)

Pássaro Trovão - Sons Ancestrais, Oct. 16, 2017; Tod, Dhr. Seven, CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Shakuhachi (the Japanese flute) - Kohachiro Miyata (full)
(Pássaro Trovão - Sons Ancestrais) What if there were a way to "blow," or pipe, Zen (suizen)? To communicate a calm experienced in meditative absorption (zen, jhana = dhyana, chan, seon) would be a marvelous thing, an induction or simulation of the deep serenity produced by these natural states of calm and tranquility (samatha bhavana or "cultivation of tranquility).

Suizen
(吹禅) (“blowing Zen”) is a Zen practice consisting of playing the traditional Japanese shakuhachi bamboo flute as a means of attaining self-realization (1).

Suizen was traditionally practiced by the Komusō (“monks of emptiness”), the Zen Buddhist monks of the Fuke sect of Japan who flourished during the Edo period (1600-1868).

Instrumental music is rare in all Buddhist practice, where instruments usually accompany ritual chants if they are used at all.

With suizen, the playing of the shakuhachi as a spiritual exercise is at the core of the religious practice, making it unique in the world of Buddhism (2, 3). More
