Jade Emperor out Buddha'd the Buddha?

• The Jade Emperor seems to be the Sakka (King of the Devas, Sakra, Indra) of East Asia, made famous in the Pali canon by having a whole section of texts dedicated to him: Sakka, King of the Devas, ruler of the Celestial World of the Thirty-Three (Tavatimsa)

Life in Hell (Matt Groening)

(Studio Croma Animation) BOLOGNA. An old man is sitting on the edge of a bed in a bare room with stoned walls, his face furrowed with deep wrinkles and his unkempt beard, gnarled hands still full of life, curved shoulders: he is alone and thoughtful. A small and ramshackle window with bars is the only outlet to the outside.

In front of him he has a mysterious suitcase. Opening it the man finds himself in his hands the photographs and the personal effects of a whole life. Thus begins the sequence of memories and visions, synapses of the mind that come to life and invade the room of the elderly bringing him back in time, first adult then boy, finally child.

It took me 40 years to realize what I'll tell you in 8 minutes

Did Jada Pinkett help Diddy molest Jaden?

Jaden Smith breaks down and blasts mother Jada for helping Diddy [sexually] abuse him

Black b*tch, keep my wife's name outcha mouth!

(Misstee) May 7, 2024: Girl, Jaguar Wright is back in the spotlight, dropping bombshells about an alleged alliance between Will Smith and Sean P Diddy (Puff Daddy) Combs.

Rumors of a little something-something homosexual between Diddy and Willy have been circulating for years, with claims of a clandestine sexual affair happening right under everyone's noses. But hold on tight, because that's not even the wildest part of this whirlwind.

Will, whatchu doing, Brother? I'm working here!

According to Jaguar, Willy and Diddy weren't alone in their gay escapades; they allegedly involved young boys [in homosexual acts of pederasty and sodomy], including, purportedly, Willy's own son, LGBTQIA+ boy Jaden.

I'm Jada. I'm cheating on this punk @ss b*tch.

The relationship between Willy and Jaden has always been complex, and according to Jaguar, this is just one piece of the puzzle. She spilled all the tea in her recent interview about Willy Smith, Diddy, and Jaden.

Don't mess with the Smiths. We mess ourselves.

Jaden also appears to be backing Jaguar up on this because he was caught on tape going off on his mom, Jada, for allegedly enabling Daddy Willy to hurt him and doing nothing about it.

Chile, the Willy family is more broken than anyone of us thought because Jaden "came out" with a lot of family tea.

Wall Street woes boost therapists' business

By Elinor Comlay (7/31/08)

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wall Street is reeling from losses, and bankers are fearful of losing bonuses at best and jobs at worst. But while New York braces for the economic fallout, one group is benefiting -- psychotherapists.

Bankers suffering from anxiety or depression and looking for pills or deep therapy are making beelines for the couch. And for some it has gotten so bad they want to quit the money game forever. "I had a guy say to me, 'I want your job," said psychologist and career coach Marilyn Puder-York.

While it is difficult to quantify demand, five therapists who serve the banking community all said in interviews their business from Wall Street is up in recent months. Alden Cass, a psychologist and trading coach in New York who works extensively with Wall Street traders, estimated that his clients have increased by about 25% since March, when JPMorgan Chase & Co agreed to buy Bear Stearns and the stock market tumbled.

Several psychologists said that the events in March led to a spike in referrals, as Wall Street professionals saw just how quickly their job security could be taken away. "Traders are more stressed, more uncomfortable, more fearful about how the year's going to turn out, and less confident than they have been in years," said Ari Kiev, psychiatrist and founder of the Social Psychiatry Research Institute.

Kiev has been working with traders for 15 years and said this is the most stressful year for his clients he has experienced. Typical are the traders facing losses who double their positions in last-chance bids to recoup gains -- only to face more than double the losses they had previously. They abandon a trading strategy and become governed by their emotions, Kiev said.

"Once they are in a hole, psychologically, they start panicking," said Kiev, who notes that these traders start to doubt their ability. "They think, 'Maybe I was only successful because I was lucky."'

NOT KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES
This hasn't been a normal downturn on Wall Street. The year-long credit crisis has been traumatic for some bankers who have had their bank accounts, their career prospects and their self-esteem damaged....

Buddhism and Business
By Jon Nagelmakers (NewsVine)

It seems that Buddhism is making its way into business, with monks helping run the show. When one thinks of Buddhist monks, the images of meditation, tranquility, and nature seem to come to mind first and foremost. But now the teachers of Buddhism are starting to come back in a big way with technology.

Take the Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai, a temple which has been around for 120 years and now, thanks to recent pushes into the business world, owns a restaurant, a four-star hotel, a food factory, and a seven-story office building. The Jade Buddha has grown to the extent that it is putting a group of its monks through courses at the Shanghai International Studies University for the study of foreign languages, and another group is just starting at Jiaotong's business school to, of course, get their MBAs.

The Jade Buddha is not the only temple that has made good use of the recent surge in interest in Buddhism and the Orient. The Shaolin Temple in Henan province owns both a martial arts school and a company that produces vegetarian snacks and Zen tea, Shaolin Development. Shaolin also has been promoting its reputation as a birth place of the martial arts by holding international events.
