Zen's Bodhidharma on the ONE method


The ONE practice that contains every spiritual method | Bodhidharma's breakthrough sermon
(ECHOES OF LOST KNOWLEDGE) April 17, 2026: What if one single practice contained every other spiritual method within it?

In this final chapter of the series, the First Zen Patriarch Bodhidharma [from India] reveals the most essential teaching of his entire lineage — and it begins with beholding the mind.
 
This video is a direct transmission of Buddhist Wisdom that cuts through centuries of misunderstanding about what spiritual practice truly means.

Discover why temples, rituals, chanting, and good deeds alone cannot free us — and what actually can.

In this sermon, Bodhidharma teaches
→ The single method that contains all other methods
→ The three hidden poisons (greed, anger, delusion) — and how they silently run our life
→ The six "thieves" operating through our own senses, robbing us of peace every day
→ Why "three asankhya kalpas [aeons of indeterminate length]" of hardship is not what most people think
→ The true meaning of the six perfections (paramitas), the three sets of precepts, and invoking the Buddha
→ How to behold our own mind and free ourselves from suffering — in this very lifetime.

This is not a lecture. This is Buddhist Wisdom spoken directly — clear, unfiltered, and as alive today as it was 1,500 years ago.

Admiral Byrd mission: last survivor speaks


(UNITY) Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd Jr. wrote a diary that was replaced by the CIA (or its predecessor organization OSS) then hidden away until, possibly, his son released the real, unredacted original version after his father's passing. It recounts what Byrd found -- a very advanced civilization living in Agartha (our Hollow Earth) as spoken of in Hindu and Buddhist texts. The momentous mission was Operation Highjump (about The Secret Land)

Wild Food Foraging Ethnobotanical Walk



FORAGING WALK — WILD FOOD OUTING
Hosted by prolific plant author Christopher Nyerges, nature guide, and founder of School of Self-Reliance: The Wild Food and Self-Reliance Discovery Meetup Group (with 4.9 out of 5.0 stars with 143 reviews) is leading a nature walk:
  • Wild Food Ethnobotanical Walk
  • Saturday, May 9, 2026 10:00 am
  • $65 (seniors and students $45)
To attend and for exact directions, register HERE. Join us for an outing in Los Angeles where we explore the edible, medicinal, and other useful qualities of many of the native plants found in the environment with many introduced (invasive) plants.'

Both natives and non-native plants will be seen. This is a leisurely walk in the woods. All will also get a chance to taste some of the plants. We will introduce a few basics of systematic plant identification and ways to start a record of various species.

We’ll bring up an important point: Many of the wild plants we see — especially the non-natives — can easily be cultivated in our own yards for ease of harvesting. There are also local native plant nurseries where we can obtain native plants — such as toyon berries, ceonothus, oak trees, mulefat, elder, and so on — to grow them at home, where we can provide the ideal situation for them.

Wear comfortable footwear and bring water and a bowl for eating. This class can serve as credit towards the the School of Self-Reliance Ethnobotany Certificate. Directions sent upon registration.

Bruce Lee on Muscle Beach, Los Angeles



In 1971, Bruce Lee was enjoying a day with his wife Linda Lee Cadwell and family at "Muscle Beach," a portion of Venice Beach next to Santa Monica under LAX's flight path, when Kurt Wagner — a 315-pound strongman who could deadlift 750 pounds — publicly challenged his Buddhist/Taoist/Chinese philosophy.

What happened in the next six seconds shocked the entire "Muscle Beach" crowd and changed strength culture forever.

This is the untold story of when raw power met precision, when mass confronted understanding, and when a world-champion strongman learned that everything he believed about strength was incomplete.

🥋 The confrontation that Muscle Beach never forgot
🥋 How a 135-pound man dropped a 315-pound giant in six seconds
🥋 The solar plexus strike that penetrates through muscle
🥋 Why mass without wisdom is just weight to carry
🥋 The strongman who became Bruce Lee's student

Kurt Wagner thought his 315 pounds of muscle made him unstoppable. Bruce Lee showed him that technique, properly applied, can overcome any size advantage — not through luck, not through tricks, but through deep understanding of anatomy, physics, and human movement.

This is the legacy of Bruce Lee teaching that real strength isn't measured in pounds, but in wisdom and understanding.
