Thay (pronounced "Thai") is Thich Nhat Hanh, here explaining a candle flame. Where will it go?
When we all fall asleep, where do we go?
Dhr. Seven, Amber Larson, Ananda (Dharma Buddhist Meditation), Wisdom Quarterly in reply to the implicit question in Billie Eilish's "Bury a Friend": Where do we all go when we die? Where does a flame go when it dies?
And when the flame goes out, where does it go?
That's a nonsense question.
No, it must go somewhere!
Well, where do you suppose -- up, down, sideways?
Well, no, nothing like that. I don't know where it goes.
It isn't there like you think (assume), so it does not "go" anywhere after it is said to "go out." Failing to gain new fuel (and four other factors, heat, oxygen, wick, and process-of-combustion), it fails to "come back in" for the next moment of its appearance. This sounds strange because it goes against our assumptions, but it's very true: In one instance, all five factors (aggregates) gather and manifest as "flame." Failing to get all five in the next moment, no flame/fire appears. This teaches us that what we call "flame" or "fire" is utterly dependent on supporting conditions (these five aggregates or factors) and without them, it is not. However, if it is utterly dependent, then how can it ever be said to have an independent existence? Ultimately speaking, it cannot. But in normal usage, in conventional speech, of course we say, "The flame came into being and then went out of being after some time." This is nice. This seems true. But it was never ultimately true. So there is no confusion. And maybe no one cares about a flame or fire. But if the same thing could be said of us, me and you the individuals, what then?
How could that ever be said of us? We are here now. And when we die or "go out," we reappear somewhere else -- like in heaven, hell, another human life, or a life in another realm in the 31 Planes of Existence.
Conventionally, this is exactly what happens. Unfortunately, ultimately speaking, it is completely wrong. Not only do "we" not go anywhere, what we are calling "we" is completely dependently arisen. Our being, our existence, completely depends on the Five Aggregates clung to as self.
What, we're flames?
No, flames depend on the five factors I mentioned above. "We" depend on the Five Aggregates clung to as self mentioned in the Heart Sutra: form; feelings, perceptions, mental formations, and process of consciousness, the khandhas or skandhas in Sanskrit.
So there is no reappearance?
Oh, there's reappearance (rebirth) all right, but it isn't the rearising of some unchanging "soul," "self," jiva,gandhabba, "ego," "personality," or "I." We are clinging to what is not ours, and we suffer for it.
Aha! You said "we" suffer for it! Who's the "we" that suffers?!
That "we" is the Five Aggregates clung to as self. "We" are not that. "We" do not control that, in an ultimate sense. In a conventional sense, of course, that's all "we" are, and "we" have a great deal of control to develop calm and insight to breakthrough to wisdom and liberate "ourselves" from this samsaric mess. But that, ultimately speaking, is not really what's happening. And it can be proven. The aggregates can be refined, purified, stilled and be seen for what they are. Then clinging stops. And liberation occurs. It's as if the fearful dream lets go of the dreamer. The monstrous illusion loses its power to deceive and make frightened, suffering victims of the aggregates clinging to the aggregates as if they were "self."
When I first encountered Buddhism in the U.S. in the 1990s, it was all about "insight meditation" (vipassana) with some voices shouting that the value of the jhanas (meditative absorptions) was being mistakenly overlooked as a regular practice.
Years later, I came across BPS Wheel 463 (Buddhist Publication Society),which states that the value of “wise reflection” (yoniso manasikara) was being mistakenly overlooked as a regular practice.
This weekend I decided to go back and take another look at Wise Reflection (BPS Wheel 463) with the amazing benefits provided by suttacentral.net's because of its multiple translations per each discourse (Pali sutta) and translator Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu’s errant translations on dhammatalks.org.
Wisdom Quarterly prefers American scholar-monk Bhikkhu Bodhi's translations in all cases over idiosyncratic and ridiculous Thanissaro Bhikkhu's efforts.
It was a very powerful refresher course (lesson) in the difficulties of translation and the value of reading multiple [English] translations and the value of [the ancient] commentaries.
The translations of yoniso manasikara (not quite those two words as found in the Pali canon) from the Sabbāsava Sutta (MN 2) are diverse!
EXCERPT: Venerable Walpola Rahula (from BPS Wheel 463), in quoting the Buddha, translates yoniso manasikāra as "wise reflection":
“I say that the getting rid of anxieties and troubles [1] is possible for one who knows and sees, not for one who does not know and see. What must one know and see in order to get rid of anxieties and troubles? Wise reflection and unwise reflection... More

(The Jimmy Dore Show) Sean P [convicted pimp] Diddy Puff Daddy Combs ACQUITTED! James Comey's daughter, prosecutor Maureen Comey, was given the case and ALL the files.

What must God have been thinking?
At a time like this, we need comedy more than ever, don't we? But what are the limits of humor?
It returns us to a sense of sanity like a pleasant reset button. Satire can restore us to sanity.
But one may have to be crazy to begin with. Maybe John Q. Public doesn't need comic strips or distasteful locker room gags, pranks, and jokes. The more highbrow New Yorker material is good, but can anything match Gary Larson's The Far Side?
Maybe all the joking around we do is harmful to monastics who read or watch humorous videos. Monastics keep a strict discipline and many rules, whereas lay Buddhists strive to adhere to five (daily), eight (weekly lunar observance), or ten (intensive retreat) precepts. We should be more sensitive to the limits of humor to help us cope, seeing as how in the following sutra they could lead a wobbly monastic to give it a rest and take a break when it would be far better to continue until insight and enlightenment.
SUTRA: "Crickets"
Charles Patton — 支離彌梨 (trans.), Crickets Sutra (AN III_utf8), suttacentral.net; Amber Larson and Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
Thus have I heard. At one time, the Buddha traveled to the city of Rājagṛha (Rajgir, India) and stayed at Kalandaka Park in Veḷuvana Grove.
A group of monastics had gathered in the meeting hall after their midday meal. They wanted to settle an argument about the Doctrine and Discipline (Dhamma-Vinaya) taught by the Buddha.
Citra called Hatthirohaputta (Citta Hatthi-sāriputta) was an elder (thera), the son of an elephant trainer, who having entered the Monastic Order, studied with the Buddha and gained special proficiency in distinguishing subtle differences in the meanings of words. Six times he left the Order and six times returned. His last quarrel was with Ven. Mahā Kotthita Thera, who objected to his constant interruptions of the elder's discussions regarding the Abhidhamma. (This incident is recorded at A.iii.392ff).
When that Citra discussed the Doctrine and Discipline taught by the Buddha, he argued with others around him, but what he had to say did not help the monastics teaching Dharma to consummate it. Nor did he ask questions of senior monastics respectfully and with etiquette.
Ven. Mahākauṣṭhila, who was also present in that assembly, then addressed Citra:
“Good sir, know that when a group of monastics is discussing the Doctrine and Discipline taught by the Buddha, you ought not interrupt to argue with what they say. When they are finished with what they are saying, then afterward you may speak. Ask questions of the senior and elders respectfully in accord with good etiquette. Refrain from asking questions of them that are disrespectful or not in accord with good etiquette.”
Citra’s friends were also present in the assembly at the time. They then said to Ven. Mahākauṣṭhila, “Ven. Mahākauṣṭhila, do not rebuke the monk Citra Hastisāriputra because he is virtuous and well-versed. He might appear indolent, but do not be arrogant. Ven. Mahākauṣṭhila, Citra can assist the monastics when the time is right.”
Ven. Mahākauṣṭhila then said to Citra’s friends, “Good sirs, those who do not know the minds of others cannot speak falsely when they praise or dispraise them because perhaps there is a person who is conscientious, modest, affectionate, and respectful when he is in the presence of the Buddha (Bhagavān "Blessed One") or senior and elder practitioners of this spiritual life. He is then well-guarded and well-protected. Suppose later he is not in the presence of the Buddha or the senior and elder practitioners of the spiritual life with whom he is conscientious, modest, affectionate, and respectful.
“He often meets with white-robed laypeople who joke with each other, are arrogant, and clamor in various ways. After often meeting with white-robed laypeople who joke with each other, are arrogant, and clamor in various ways, his mind readily becomes desirous.
“After his mind becomes desirous, his body and mind become obsessed. After his body and mind become obsessed, he discards the precepts and takes a break from the Path.
“Good sirs, he is like a cow that wanders into someone’s field, and the person guarding that field stops it. Maybe he ties it up, or perhaps he corrals it in a pen. Good sirs, if someone says that this cow will no longer wander into another’s field, would that person be right to say that?”
They answered, “No because if that cow is tethered with a rope, it might break loose or become untied. If it is confined by a corral, it might break through or jump over it. It will go into another’s field just as before.”
“Good sirs, perhaps there is a person who is conscientious, modest, affectionate, and respectful when he is in the presence of the Buddha or senior and elder practitioners of the spiritual life. One is then well-guarded and well-protected. Suppose later that person is not in the presence of the Buddha or practitioners of the spiritual life with whom he is conscientious, modest, affectionate, and respectful.
“He often meets with white-robed laypeople who joke with each other, are arrogant, and clamor in various ways. After he has often met with white-robed laypeople who joke with each other, are arrogant, and clamor in various ways, his mind readily becomes desirous. After his mind becomes desirous, his body and mind become obsessed. After his body and mind become obsessed, he discards the precepts and takes a break from the path. Good sirs, this is one kind of person.
“Furthermore, good sirs, perhaps there is a person who attains the first meditative absorption (jhana, dhyāna, zen, chan, seon). After that person attains the first absorption, that person abides calmly and no longer seeks to obtain desires as yet unobtained, to seize desires as yet unseized, or to consummate desires as yet unconsummated.
“After that, he often meets with white-robed laypeople who joke with each other, are arrogant, and clamor in various ways. After he has often met with white-robed laypeople who joke with each other, are arrogant, and clamor in various ways, his mind readily becomes desirous. After his mind becomes desirous, his body and mind become obsessed. After his body and mind become obsessed, he discards the precepts and takes a break from the path.
“Good sirs, it is like when there is a rainstorm. The lakes and ponds between villages fill up with water. Where once sand, stones, weeds, trees, crustaceans, fish, turtles, frogs, and other water creatures were seen when people came and went or stood nearby, none are seen after they fill up with water.
“Good sirs, if someone were to say that the sand, stones, weeds, trees, crustaceans, fish, turtles, frogs, and other water creatures in those lakes and ponds will never be seen again when people come and go or walk and stand nearby, would he be right to say that?”
They answered, “No because the water in those lakes and ponds will recede later because elephants, horses, camels, cattle, donkeys, pigs, deer, or water buffalo will drink it, or people will take it, or the wind and sun will dry it up [by evaporation]. Where before sand, stones, weeds, trees, crustaceans, fish, turtles, frogs, and other water creatures were seen when people came and went or walked and stood nearby, they will be seen again after the water recedes.”
“So it is, good sirs. Perhaps there is a person who attains the first absorption. After he attains the first absorption, he abides calmly and no longer seeks to obtain desires as yet unobtained, to seize desires as yet unseized, or to consummate desires as yet unconsummated.
“After that, he often meets with white-robed laypeople who joke with each other, are arrogant, and clamor in various ways. After they have often met with white-robed laypeople who joke with each other, are arrogant, and clamor in various ways, his mind readily becomes desirous.
“After his mind becomes desirous, his body and mind become obsessed. After his body and mind become obsessed, he discards the precepts and takes a break from the path. Good sirs, this is called another person.
“Furthermore, good sirs, perhaps there’s a person who attains the second absorption. After he attains the second absorption, he abides calmly and no longer seeks to obtain desires as yet unobtained, to seize desires as yet unseized, or to consummate desires as yet unconsummated. After that, he often meets with white-robed laypeople who joke with each other, are arrogant, and clamor in various ways.
“After he has often met with white-robed laypeople who joke with each other, are arrogant, and clamor in various ways, his mind readily becomes desirous. After his mind becomes desirous, his body and mind become obsessed. After his body and mind become obsessed, he discards the precepts and takes a break from the path.
“Good sirs, it is like when there is a rainstorm and the dirt at the crossroads turns to mud. Good sirs, if someone were to say that the mud at the crossroads will never dry up and turn back to dirt, would he be right to say that?”
They answered, “No because the crossroads will be walked upon by elephants, horses, camels, cattle, donkeys, pigs, deer, water buffalo, and people. The wind will blow on it, and the sun will bake it. After the mud at the crossroads has dried up, it will turn back into dirt.”
“So it is, good sirs. Perhaps there is a person who attains the second absorption. After he attains the second absorption, he abides calmly and no longer seeks to obtain desires as yet unobtained, to seize desires as yet unseized, or to consummate desires as yet unconsummated. After that, he often meets with white-robed laypeople who joke with each other, are arrogant, and clamor in various ways. ...
“Good sirs, it is like an undisturbed place where the chirping of crickets is heard. That undisturbed place might be a king’s or a royal minister’s overnight lodging. The sound of elephants, horses, carts, footsteps, conches, drums, slim-waisted drums, dancing girl drums, music, singing, lutes, and feasting causes the chirping crickets to no longer be heard.
"Good sirs, suppose someone were to say that the chirping crickets will never be heard again at that undisturbed place. Would they be right to say that?”
Citra’s friends answered, “No because after a night has passed and the sun rises, that king or royal minister will return home. The sounds of elephants, horses, carts, footsteps, conches, drums, slim-waisted drums, dancing girl drums, music, singing, lutes, and feasting that caused the chirping crickets to no longer be heard will be gone after that. Then the crickets will be heard as they were before.”
“So it is, good sirs. Perhaps there is a person who obtains the samādhi without conceptual thought. After he attains the samādhi without conceptual thought, he abides calmly and no longer seeks to obtain desires as yet unobtained, to seize desires as yet unseized, or to consummate desires as yet unconsummated. After that, he often meets with white-robed laypeople who joke with each other, are arrogant, and clamor in various ways.
"After he has often met with white-robed laypeople who joke with each other, are arrogant, and clamor in various ways, his mind readily becomes desirous. After his mind becomes desirous, his body and mind become obsessed. After his body and mind become obsessed, he discards the precepts and takes a break from the path. This is called another person.”
Soon after that, the monk Citra Hastisāriputra abandoned the precepts and took a break from the path.
After he abandoned the precepts and took a break from the path, those friends of that monk Citra went to Ven. Mahākauṣṭhila.
When they arrived, they said to him, “Ven. Mahākauṣṭhila, you knew the mind of the monk Citra Hastisāriputra and made us aware of these other matters because he has now abandoned the precepts and taken a break from the path.”
Ven. Mahākauṣṭhila told his friends, “Good sirs, these matters should indeed be so because it was because he did not truly know and did not truly see.”
Ven. Mahākauṣṭhila spoke thus. Those monastics who heard what Ven. Mahākauṣṭhila taught rejoiced and approved of it.

Trump’s unhinged message to women, "Black Nazi" endorsement, and refusal to debate Kamala
(Jimmy Kimmel Live) Sept. 23, 2024: DJ Trump spent the weekend Truthing about Oprah’s interview with Kamala Harris, saving flavored vaping in 2019, women being in a worse place than they were four years ago, he yelled about Jewish voters saying if he loses the election they will be to blame, a new Trump coin is being released, Melania was paid $237,500 dollars for giving a speech to the [gay] Log Cabin Republicans at Mar-A-Lago, she has been plugging her forthcoming memoir a tell-all book on life in the White House, DJ spent time at a meeting of the Israeli American Council talking about how he “won” the debate against Kamala, we have a new edition of Drunk Donald Trump, RFK Jr. is embroiled in a Sext scandal, NC Lt.

Mark "Black Nazi" Robinson who is running for governor of North Carolina is also in hot water for being a Black white supremacist raacist, and Mike "MyPillow" Lindell throws him an endorsement. #Kimmel
I just thought, I take his policies, why not style?
From camo hats to libertarian rhetoric, the Kamala Devi Harris campaign is staking its claim to symbols of conservative identity.
Why it matters: The appeals aim to convey that Democrats are not trying to undo a conservative way of life and that red and blue Americas are not immutably divided by culture. [There's purple.]
REAL, ugh, gun control from, ugh, heart, Kama.
Driving the news: At this month's debate, VP Harris surprised many by saying that she is a gun owner [and later telling a famous Black lady on TV that she will kill anybody who comes uninvited into her house, presumably while Doug cowers in the closet or in the safe room], and in an interview with Oprah this week [in which Kamala showed off her cooking skills with another warped word salad] said, "If somebody breaks into my house, they're getting shot."
Even as she advocates for gun control measures, Kamala used the comments to signal not only that she won't support confiscating guns, but that she has a personal stake in the Second Amendment [and so is inclined to preserve her right to own and use her little metallic friend Shooty].
We will mandate warning labels on all firearms!
Zoom out: The comments follow a pattern of Canadian-Californian Harris and Midwestern Walz claiming rhetorical turf that has long been held by Republicans.
Harris' campaign launch video was centered around "freedom," a pervasive conservative rallying cry for resisting liberal policies on taxation, gun control and... More

Elon Musk must be right. (The government that backs him can't let him be wrong. SpaceX must succeed and Neuralink, too. They didn't let him take the title "richest man in the world" for nothing).
Musk said he'd build rockets and eventually get us off this trash heap and onto a New Earth. (Maybe this is what Oprah-boosted Eckhart Tolle actually meant?)
It's time we could spread our wings and got on with the colonizing of this solar system, galaxy, and universe (as if that hasn't already happened. It has. That's why we're here. We are not from this Earth, just more sort of naturalized arrivals).
WARNING: Violent Jews, outside agitators, and/or undercover LAPD apparatchiks attack UCLA student peace in Palestine encampment as campus security stands by and city police are nowhere to be found.
