Poetry events in Los Angeles (7/26)

This week is the end of Love's Labour's Lost and start of Doctor Faustus at Griffith Park

The Bard: Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford

This town is full of rebellious writers, standing up to Trump's fascist agenda with his Gestapo ICE. But LA does it differently, with flare and pizzazz, poetry and spoken word. Come out to Santa Monica's historic Rapp Saloon inside the Youth Hostel to see it live. There's more going on. On Sunday, the Village Poets have a regular reading at Bolton Hall in Sunland/Tujunga, right in the foothills. Next weekend, the Eagle Rock Library hosts an open mic with that this month features Lynda Crawford. The SPARC (South Pasadena Arts Council) has a reading every Third Thursday. For anyone looking for the Bard himself, IndieShakes.org is at Griffith Park all summer with FREE Shakespeare in the Park. Or, if Hollywood is your bag, the Emmys are coming up soon.

3-minute history of Los Angeles' Rapp Saloon in Santa Monica

What happened?

3rd Thursday Poetry: SPARC (7/17)

It's every third Thursday (except December). Tonight's show put the spotlight on two artists featured on Wisdom Quarterly, an environmentalist and a poet dealing in race and esteem issues as a Vietnamese American poet. We discovered a new talent that stole the show, painter Ekaterina Sky. She was performing Earthcentric slam poetry, passionate about restoring nature from all of our manmade disasters.

What else you got?

There is no ART without ARTists who share.

Poetry is running rampant across the city, spreading culture and resistance, saying "no" to Trump and ICE, fascism and racism, Tinsel Town excesses and the dumbing down of a digitally-addicted society. There's more. Tonight (Friday, July 17, 2025) is Rapp Saloon's 14th anniversary with Hostess Elena Secota at the Youth Hostel in Santa Monica.

Are all Catholics "Forgiven," Alanis?

Alanis "Forgiven" (w/ Foo Fighter Taylor Hawkins, The Prince's Trust Masters of Music 1996

It's good to be Catholic, but just for Mardi Gras

"You know how us Catholic girls can be," states Catholic Canadian cool hippie gal Alanis Morrissette, who became famous in the U.S. when she released Jagged Little Pill.

The CD had hit after hit, particularly "You Oughta Know." "Ironic" is dumb. "Head Over Feet" is so heartfelt. The seventh single should have been "Forgiven." It was a long run with millions of copies sold, making it double diamond (rather than mere gold or platinum).

Her ironic sass and probing irreverence are cool

How this song didn't get promoted, we'll never know. It's like P!nk, who's not that good but heck a popular. She had one pretty good song no one seemed to think that much of about her dysfunctional family.

"We all had our reasons to be there. We all had a thing or two to learn," Morrissette and Ballard explain. "My brothers, they never went blind for what they did, but I may as well have. In the name of the Father, the Skeptic, and the Son, I had one more stupid question.... If I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven?"

We must surely be learning? (Beatles)

The Beatles "While My Guitar Gently Weeps (2018 Mix)"

There's no comparison to Beatle George Harrison, who wrote and sings this masterpiece, while nearly all the credit for the band's greatness goes to the other two competing with each other, and no one even remembers Pete Best. What about Ringo? Who?

LYRICS: I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping / While my guitar gently weeps / I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping / Still, my guitar gently weeps // I don't know why nobody told you / How to unfold your love / I don't know how someone controlled you / They bought and sold you // I look at the world and I notice it's turning / While my guitar gently weeps / With every mistake, we must surely be learning / Still, my guitar gently weeps / I don't know how you were diverted / You were perverted, too / I don't know how you were inverted / No one alerted you / I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping / While my guitar gently weeps / (I look) Look at you all / Still, my guitar gently weeps / Oh, oh /  Yeah, yeah

We weep for the world -- steeped in ignorance, the root of all harm, giving rise to greed (lust) and aversion (fear), liking and disliking, the Roots of Good and Evil. Who cares if someone is good or evil? That person is going to care when the RESULTS come around. Karma really brings about what we experience, what we are experiencing now. So it is vital to grasp what "karma" means and what it doesn't. The greatest karma meme ever sums it up, a picture of credit card with the slogan: "Karma: It's everywhere you're going to be." (That's based on an old credit card commercial, which if people have never seen it because the successful marketing campaign ended a long time ago, may not get the impact of why it's a clever meme and a vital message/warning. If we knew that everything was going to follow us, none of it unseen or forgotten, we might behave differently, very differently. But we think we're getting away with everything, think there is nothing to come of this (what we do, say, and think). Pink Floyd has a great song about this from the CD Animals called "Sheep."

Giving Buddhist Gratitude (Lion's Roar)

"Grrr!" like a lioness roaring for American Buddhism

The Spiderman theme is such a catchy earworm to get stuck in your head that it's good to convert it into these season-appropriate lyrics:

How can you be so happy?

Gratitude, gratitude

Does whatever a spider could

Spins a web any size

Catches thanks just like flies

Look out, here comes some gratitude!

Is it strong? Listen, Bud:

It's got super-magnetic suds

Can it spring from a thread?

Take a look overhead

Hey there,

There goes that gratitude!

In the chill of night

At the scene of a crime

Like a streak of light

It arrives every time!

Gratitude, gratitude

Friendly neighborhood gratitude

As for fame, it's ignored

Action (karma) is

Its reward

To it

Life is a great big bang up

Wherever there's a hang up

You'll find some

GRATITUDE!

Fake Buddha quote gone good -- a wise teaching

Gratitude (Lion's Roar)

Gratitude is a crucial part of Buddhist spiritual practice, helping practitioners to live mindfully, compassionately, and peacefully, with a heart opening attitude of gratitude.

In Buddhist Pali terms, "gratitude" is kataññutā (or kataveditā), literally, “to have a sense of what was done [for us, for our benefit],” gratefulness.

It is more than just a feeling or a verbal expression of thanks. It is an important part of spiritual practice. Practicing gratitude can help us cultivate mindfulness, compassion, an awareness of the interconnectedness of all beings and things, and a peaceful, open-hearted attitude toward life and our fellows all around us.

Buddhism and gratitude are connected in a variety of ways, including:

• Appreciation for life [particularly our chance at this human life, which was brought about by our past karma, which had to have been good to produce this result and which was helped by others because there are just as many or more bad influences in the universe]

What a teacher can do for students, I have done.

Buddhism emphasizes the extreme preciousness — both the rarity and grand opportunity — of being reborn as a human being. Why? It is because this rebirth offers the potential for quick spiritual growth and enlightenment here and now. Buddhist practitioners incorporate gratitude into daily life, expressing thanks for, among other things, food, shelter, clothing, and the opportunity to cultivate wisdom (insight) and compassion (boundless loving kindness that seeks to alleviate the suffering of others).

• Appreciation for others

The contemporary American Theravada Buddhist teacher Ven. Thanissaro (Geoffrey DeGraff) notes that the Buddha pointed out that there are two kinds of people who are hard to find in the world, “The one who is first to do a kindness, and the one who is grateful and thankful for a kindness done.” This is the Buddha saying that because they are rare, we should be both kinds.

• The Lessons of Gratitude (Ven. Thanissaro)
• The Monastery of Open Doors (Soto Zen)

Mindfulness

Ever mindful, wakeful, present in this moment

Buddhism places a strong emphasis on being fully present in this moment with awareness and non-judgment. Practicing mindfulness helps us attune to the beauty and richness of each moment, the ever-present NOW, fostering a sense of gratitude for presence and, by extension, for life itself.

Impermanence

Contemplating radical impermanence — one of Buddhism’s “Three Marks of Existence” — can lead to a sense of gratitude for the opportunities and joys that arise and even for life’s unwelcome challenges.

• Two excellent Buddhist reminders of this are American Tibetan Buddhist nun Pema Chodron (Welcoming the Unwelcome: Wholehearted Living in a Brokenhearted World and the classic When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times) and British Thai Theravada Forest Tradition Buddhist monk Ajahn Brahm (Who Ordered This Truckload of Dung?: Inspiring Stories for Welcoming Life's Difficulties about seeing opportunity in what we regard as the sh*tty or dunglike things that happen to us in life)

Letting go/Generosity

I'd never let go of my beautiful hair except for...

Generosity (non-clinging), a core Buddhist practice and the first of the Ten Perfections or paramis (and later Six Perfections or paramitas in Mahayana writings), involves giving without expectation of return. Engaging in giving cultivates a sense of gratitude for our ability to help and support others, and for what it means when someone does the same for us.

Loving-Kindness (Metta)

Making love at insightla.org with Trudy & Co.

Metta-bhavana, or universal "loving-kindness meditation" (cultivating agape) is a practice of sending thoughts of gratitude and goodwill to oneself and others -- building up to a universal expression covering ALL beings, even the ugly, mean, foul, enemy, antagonistic, bad ones (who often turn out, in the long run, to be great and precious teachers whether we realize it or not). When we experience the profound emotion of LOVE of this kind (boundless, infinite, unbiased, and unlimited), we feel deep gratitude for all life and all that this life gives us.

Eating KORN for suicide prevention

Korn at BMO after supporting SOAD at SSW

Now that Suicide Prevention Month is wrapped up, it's time to listen to some Korn again. They're in concert this weekend in SoCal. Due to leaks of credit card and personal financial information, one woman had her virtual tickets transferred to someone else. TicketMaster is to blame. How doe 

September is National Suicide Prevention Month (samhsa.gov) and if you've found a way to hang on, let's see if we could feel, think, and reason our way through this. Unless you're recovering from some attempt, the thoughts are the problem. What reasoning has let to contemplating a permanent solution to a temporary problem? It's all in the thinking. Thinking is a trap, basing decision on unquestioned assumptions. Become aware of the assumption, and all the thinking built on them magically falls away..

September is a month to [listen Guns 'n' Roses' "September Rain," very sad and depressing] and to remember the lives lost to suicide. Millions of people have struggled...

• FREE TICKET to Unsinkable: The Secret to Bouncing Back

NAMI (nami.org) don't like it. Get involved because awareness is the way to prevention, whereas lack of mindfulness and clear comprehension (sati-sampajanna) is the way to automatic pilot. A dog chases a tail. Does it ever figure out that's its tail? One bite would do it, but it's too fast.

Is there ever a time to raise awareness of this urgent crisis? It's like asking, "When is the best time to plant a tree?" We use this month to shift public perception and spread hope.

Prevention beats trying to cure the spiraling when someone falls into a tailspin. That dog just won't stop. One way is to call (988) LIFE-LINE. Every year, the 988 Lifeline and other mental health organizations and individuals across the U.S. raise awareness of suicide prevention during September.

AFSP.org hails National Suicide Prevention Month and Week. This is a moment in time when we rally the public to create awareness of this leading cause of death and inspire more self-compassion.

If only there were a toolkit for suicide prevention (nimh.nih.gov). There is a Digital Toolkit for Suicide Prevention Month. Join the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to raise awareness by sharing resources that can help one recognize the warning signs of suicide and do something about it.

I'm Afraid w/ Danny Elfman (Three Poisons)

Dhr. Seven, Ananda (Dharma Bu Meditation), Wisdom Quarterly; Danny Elfman (lyrics)

At the hub of the Wheel of Rebirth are greed, hatred, and delusion on which its turning hinges.

According to the Buddha, there are Three Poisons, mental defilements that degrade the mind/heart, and serve as the root-motivations for all unskillful karma (unwholesome actions).

What are they? Roughly speaking -- because these are ancient Pali/Sanskrit terms only approximately translatable into English -- they are:

1. Greed (attraction, passion, craving, desire, liking, or lobha)
2. Hatred (aversion, fear, revulsion, disliking, or dosa), and
3. Delusion (wrong view, distortion, perversion, ignorance, or moha).

The common English translation of "greed, hatred, and delusion" of technical Buddhist terms is misleading because it makes it seem as if only the extremes of these motives are unskillful karma.

In fact, at any intensity they lead to disappointment (dukkha, a term that extends from agitation to agony) as soon as they arise. For each term, the meaning spans the entire range of the word

1. from liking, bias, preference, and passion to greed,
2. from disliking, annoyance, fearing, and revulsion to hatred,
3. from not knowing, wrong view, misunderstanding, and distortion to delusion.

The motives (causes and conditions) for all skillful deeds, wholesome or meritorious karma, are the opposites:

• Nongreed (letting go, sharing, giving, generosity, detaching, non-clinging, or alobha).
• Nonhatred (friendliness, loving-kindness, compassion, joy in others' joy, or adosa).
• Nondelusion (wisdom, knowing-and-seeing, right view, undistorted understanding, or amoha).

They make more sense in positive terms, but each word is a category encompassing the entire range of degrees.

Reflect and examine it. When we do something unskillful, unwholesome, or wrong, what is at the root of it? We are making demeritorious karma (that will bear fruit and ripen in unpleasant, unwelcome, unwished for, disappointing, and painful results).

Entering one of the subterranean hells below Los Angeles: 6th Dimension*

They are called "bad" not because a God doesn't like them but because we will not like their karmic results (vipaka and phala) when they finally ripen, which might not be for a long time. (Some deeds are avyākata, indeterminate or neutral).

• DETAILS AND REFERENCES: The Roots of Good and Evil: Buddhist Texts translated from the Pali language with comments and introduction by Western Buddhist monk Ven. Nyanaponika (Wheel #251/252/253, BPS.lk)
• Is fear hate? Both are manifestations of aversion (dosa), so fear may be distinguished from hate, but it's only a matter of our reaction to stimuli. In fear, we want to run away, whereas in hate we want to send the repulsive object away).

Ven. Nyanatiloka (L) and Ven. Nyanaponika

What motivates an action and produces karma? One or a combination of these seven motivating our action. The kind of karma produced is based on the motive or intention (cetana) behind the deed.

Karma is like a seed that comes to fruition later. The famous Judeo-Christian expression of this karmic principle is that "We shall reap what we sow." In other words, we will later harvest what we previously planted.

The Three Poisons of the mind/heart are easy to recognize in ourselves if we reflect, except for hate. Of course we like things. This is a carnal world within the Sensual Sphere (Kama-Loka). Pleasure-seeking is the main defilement that got us here and that gets us into trouble while we're here by motivating more greedy, selfish, lustful acts. However, all craving is rooted in ignorance.

Ignorance is the fundamental root of all problems and all suffering. Ignorance gives rise to desire, to craving and clinging to things we imagine are persisting, pleasurable, and real.

The Buddha's teaching on the Three Marks of Existence tells us that they are not any of these three things. All conditioned phenomena (all "things" composed of other things that depend for their existence on constituent elements or factors) are:

1. hurtling toward destruction,
2. disappointing and incapable of fulfilling us,
3. impersonal/empty/without essence.

They are not compacts but compounds, not unconditioned (like nirvana, the sole "unconditioned element"*) but conditioned (like everything else, every element, every fabrication, every formation).

• *Asankhata: the "unformed, unoriginated, unconditioned" is a name for nirvana, the "further shore," that is beyond the beyond of all becoming (rebirth) and all conditions. See Bhikkhu Bodhi's As It Is for a textual definition of nirvana (called nibbana in Pali), which too often gets confused with "nothingness" or "annihilation" or "eternal life," when it is none of these things.

In the West we are not raised to recognize or admit our hatred. We are reluctant to show anger, instead suppressing and repressing it. This root (dosa) more often finds expression in the socially acceptable form of FEAR. It's still aversion. It's still unskillful karma that leads to unwise actions that yield painful results.

*Danny Elfman's best music was from his first movie, Forbidden Zone

Danny Elfman sings about fear

Elfman still makes music, performs

The genius ginger Danny Elfman, along with brother Dick and The Mystic Knight of the Oingo Boingo (Gong Show winners), recognized how out of control this unwholesome root could get -- odd neuroses, panic attacks, specific phobias, and general anxiety. Peace of mind will always be hard to find when it is defiled.
