Hypocrisy, poetry, iconoclasm in Zen

Wild Ways: Zen Poems of Ikkyu

Japanese Zen Buddhist priest Ikkyū (一休宗純, Ikkyū Sōjun) was an iconoclast with an "enlightenment certificate" (inkajo). He was born in 1394 and died in 1481. He was an eccentric, iconoclastic, "crazy wisdom" Japanese Zen Buddhist monk, poet, musician, alcoholic, and womanizer.

He had an impact on the infusion of Japanese art and literature with Zen attitudes and ideals [1]. He is perhaps best known for his radical approach to Zen, which included breaking Buddhist monastic precepts and his stance against celibacy [2, Note 1].

Biography

In 1394, Ikkyū was born in a small suburb of Kyoto, Japan. It is generally held that he was the illegitimate child of Emperor Go-Komatsu and a low-ranking court noblewoman [1]. His mother was forced to flee to Saga, where Ikkyū was raised by servants.

At the age of 5, Ikkyū was separated from his mother and placed in a Rinzai Zen temple in Kyoto, Japan called Ankoku-ji, as an acolyte [1, 5].

The temple masters taught Chinese culture and language as part of the curriculum, a method termed Gozan Zen. He was given the name "Shuken" and learned about Chinese poetry, art, and literature. More

Who rules wilderness of Central Park?

During the continuation of student protests across the United States of America, students are waking up and demanding a ceasefire, an end to apartheid, Zionist-imperialism, and Israeli genocide, ethnic cleansing, and atrocities against a largely unarmed population being met with Nazi-style force and bottomless U.S. war funding.

Students will not be deterred even when met with overwhelming violence and force, demanding obedience to armed authority. Free Palestine! Ceasefire in Gaza now! The New York Police Department (NYPD) ended up going wild on the protesters with impunity.

Nazi tactics on German students

German police break up pro-Palestinian protest at FU Berlin

(Haber Lütfen) May 7, 2024: While US police learn directly from Nazi handbooks (and neo-Nazi members), it seems they can now show their German counterparts how things are done. Students who dared to gather at the campus of the Free University of Berlin (FU Berlin) in the German capital of Berlin to protest against Israel's genocidal attacks on Gaza were detained after violent interventions by German police. Given Germany's history with Jews, how dare Christian student oppose the Israel settler colonial project that intends to send Jews out of Europe and into the Middle East to run an imperial state friendly towards the West (US, UK, EU, and others who buy Israeli weapons like India, et. al.)

From tasing, to shoving, to baton swings, the deployment of secret weapons, and worse (i.e., extrajudicial beatings), Status Coup videojournalist Jon Farina captured NYPD assaulting protesters.

Uproar: Emma Sad Stone vs. Lily Glad Stone

Billie Schwab Dunn Pop Culture and Entertainment Reporter, Newsweek, March 11, 2024 (updated); Xochitl, Ashley Wells, CC Liu, Crystal Quintero (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

I deserve this more than Gladstone. Sorry if they gave it to me. It's no one's fault. #statusquo

.

Others recognized my contribution to film.

Lily Gladstone snubbed at Oscars, sparking uproar about old Academy and its disgusting lack of inclusion and opportunity.

Native American actor Lily Gladstone (the titular lead actress in Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, actually supporting Leonardo DiCaprio in his starring role alongside co-lead Robert De Niro, about the super-rich Osage tribe, at one time comprising the richest people in the world murdered by white people for their money, a shocking true story).

Quick, throw Ken in for some much needed comic relief. And show Margot's reaction.

.

1st movie predicted Easy A[wards]

Lily Gladstone was nominated for Best Actress at the 96th annual Academy Awards for her role in Killers of the Flower Moon — and many people are furious she was overlooked in favor of white Emma Stone, who was previously awarded this prize for Lala Land.

If Gladstone had been recognized on Sunday night, she would have become the first Native American person ever to win an Academy Award, aka an Oscar. the Native American woman who went up to accept the Best Actor award that one time was just picking it up for Marlon Brando, as he was making a statement about the Academy and its insular possibly racist outlook on movies.

• #OscarSoWhite was at the 87th Academy Awards

The Context

This isn't about race because, well, it just isn't!

Gladstone received near-universal acclaim for her performance as real-life figure Mollie Burkhart in Scorsese's film, which chronicled the series of real-life murders by whites of tribal members of the Osage Nation, known as the Reign of Terror.

Set in 1920s Osage County, Oklahoma, the white killers were involved in a plot to steal the rights to the Native's oil-rich land.

Gladstone, who is from the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, previously made history when she was first nominated for the award as she became the first Native American woman to ever be put forward.

However, she is not the first Indigenous nominee for Best Actress, with previous contenders including Yalitza Aparicio for 2018's Roma and Keisha Castle-Hughes for 2003's Whale Rider. Both women also didn't go on to be recognized with an award from the Academy.

COMMENTARY

But Stone is white and is more deserving.

"Academy too white" and variations on this theme were all the rage in previous years. How little has changed, and that's what the public is mad about, not just Native Americans. It's the movie business, not the movie social reform movement through cinema or movie pastime. What can be done? Mass protests, boycotts, BDS? Let's boycott, sanction, and divest from the Hollywood apparatus and cable TV. No more Netflix. Now it's time to found a representative media. The really sad thing is that a movie about the oppression of the Indigenous people is what revealed how that oppression, that slow genocide and erasure, is continuing.

Y'all are actually oppressing us in our country!

Near the Osage Nation in Oklahoma, an atrocity happened to wealthy and prosperous Black people. White neighbors could not bare it, so they entered "Black Wall Street" business district, where the largest concentration of Black professionals in the U.S. were at that time, and they murdered, massacred, and barrel bombed the Black population, burning down their businesses and homes to level out the playing field so that white could be the master race again after slavery had ended. Neither Native Americans nor Blacks have recovered from these horrible incidents, these historical atrocities. Instead, many whites blame Black and BIPOCs for their downtrodden status, never mind who did the trotting on them to put them back in "their place." It's not a two class society. It's much more complex than that. And the racism, implicit bias, prejudice, systemic inequality and lack of opportunity all quite predictably point in the direction of the outcomes we see in our society for the second-, third-, and fourth-class citizens.

The answer? Grin and bear it, and shut the H up about it. Like it or lump it. Take it or leave it. Go back to your own country. You're from here? Oh, well, who cares? Go find somewhere else to live.

Why men's testosterone is so low (video)

Joseph Everett, What I've Learned, 11/15/20; Sheldon S., CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

(What I've Learned) [Mood is strange, and so much of it depends on our testosterone (male and masculinizing hormone called androgen) levels. Social factors can depress our testosterone, just as xenoestrogens (xenoestrogens) in the environment. The herbicide atrazine (a teratogen) really does turn frogs gay or into females, as Alex Jones used to scream about. These chemicals mimic estrogen. Compounds in plastics like the plasticizer BPA and dangerous and can turn us fat, anxious, depressed, weak, effeminate, possibly even sending over the social contagion that accounts for some transgender affectations and behaviors.]

Wife of Bill Gates talks about molester husband

The Jimmy Dore Show, Feb. 21, 2023; Ashley Wells, Sheldon S. (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Shut up, Melinda! You want me in prison? You stupid loudmouth b, buh, buh, billionairess.

Bill Gates’ wife UNLOADS over his “Epstein relationship”!

I like to grab them by the p*ss*, Bill, don't you? - I sure do, Donny. Jeff land Hillary let me!

.

(The Jimmy Dore Show) It’s apparent that Bill Gates really doesn’t like being asked about his close relationship with child molester Jeffrey Epstein, the owner of Pedophile Island who was murdered in custody to keep him quiet.

They want to release our names? No, God, no!

But now that there are rumblings of an impending release of additional information about the criminal activities that transpired on “Epstein Island,” the questions keep coming.

Meanwhile, Gates’ ex-wife Melinda is not shy about sharing her misgivings about Epstein and her husband's close relationship with him. He was “evil personified,” she says, which led her to divorce multi-billionaire husband Bill.

• VIDEO: Sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell from prison

Guest Host Aaron Maté (twitter), Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger, and Jimmy Dore's wife Stef Zamorano discuss the awkward discomfort that manifests every time Bill Gates squirms in response to any Epstein question. #TheJimmyDoreShow. Ghislane Maxwell's plans are not working out.

Fast food, Fat profits: Obesity in America

Oh no, I am always craving junk food!

Obesity in America has reached a crisis point. Two out of every three (2/3) Americans are overweight. One out of every three (1/3) is obese. One in three (1/3) is expected to have diabetes by 2050.

Minorities have been even more profoundly affected: African-Americans have a 50 percent higher prevalence of obesity, and Hispanics 25 percent higher compared to whites. How did the situation get so out of hand?

On this episode of Fault Lines, Josh Rushing explores the world of cheap fast food for Americans living on the margins. What opportunities do people have to eat healthy? Who is responsible for "food deserts" and processed foods in American schools? Fault Lines finds food revolutions taking place and speaks with the people who are fighting back.

101st International Women's Day

Sarah B. Weir (Secrets to Your Success)

In honor of the 101st International Women's Day on Thursday, March 7, The Independent analyzed women's status around the world based on 20 criteria. Some of the results are brutal:

• In South Sudan, the worst place to give birth, there are fewer than 20 midwives to serve the entire country.
• Other statistics offer hope for women as they advance in the 21st Century.
• Women's literacy in Lesotho outpaces men's.
• And women have served as head of state in Sri Lanka for 23 years.

At the 2011 session of the Commission on the Status of Women at the United Nations, Michelle Bachelet, the head of UN Women, pointed out in her closing remarks:

"Education and equal access and participation in science and technology for women of all ages are not only imperative for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of women -- they are also an economic necessity, providing women with the knowledge and understanding necessary for lifelong learning, employment, better physical and mental health, as well as full participation in social, economic, and political development."
