Bodai

Essay on the concept of enlightenment in Buddhism, published on the website under the heading Nipponico.com Bodai.

Eumeswil Cultural Association organized under the patronage of the town of Florence, a series of lectures on a theme set on the spirituality, tradition and self-knowledge. On the day Saturday, May 5, 2007, at 17:00, was held at the Educandato SS. Annunziata in Florence, the conference entitled "Satori in Zen Buddhism." The rapporteur will summarize with the following report and investigate the issues raised.


Bodai, the awakening of the authentic Christian Martorella be


The concept of enlightenment, although fundamental and central in Buddhism, is not clearly defined, understood by its very nature ineffable and elusive. Yet, the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni, is awarded the title of Buddha because of his enlightenment. In Sanskrit bodhi enlightenment is said, a term translated into Japanese with the words bodai and satori. A person who has attained enlightenment, bodhi, is therefore that Buddha. So it is only through the Buddha's enlightenment. However, the lighting can not be known by those who have not achieved because the lighting is an experience. The paradox is obvious. There is talk of enlightenment of Buddha without having a clear concept of what it is. It is recognized, by definition, it is unknowable if you are not Buddha. Buddha only has the experience of enlightenment. Why there is no clear concept of enlightenment? This is because the lighting is not even an idea or a concept and intuition. Lighting is an experience. Experience of what? Simply experience illumination. Lighting is an experience in itself, that does not have a particular object or content. So we can say clearly and more clearly that enlightenment is the experience of a condition, a state of being. But the difficulty in understanding the only question is highlighted, it is not yet resolved. Lighting is an experience. So, like any experience, it is first test, is experienced, tested. The verbal description does not convey quite the experience (1). This feature has forced some schools Zen enlightenment, as the Rinzai sect, to adopt a verbal strategy aims to show the limit of the word, and then overcome it. In contrast, the sect Soutou, practice silent meditation called zazen, which consists of sitting in silence. Although opposed these methods are both valid (2). The validity of a Buddhist practice is measured on results and effects achieved. It is not an abstract process. Verification is the only acceptable criterion (3). The Buddha taught that his teachings are expedient means to attain Buddhahood. The aim of Buddhism is not the ritual, the purpose is enlightenment. As the lighting experience, so it is strictly personal. For this reason, the methods used must comply the particular person. The ability to use different devices to suit individual situations and specific capacity was the Buddha. Links (4) can be various: a speech, a committee, a gesture, washing clothes, the gift of a flower. The important thing is to arouse the introspection of the self and the interpenetration of things, touching the chord of the personality of a human being.
The personal character of illumination is described by the Soku Soku Shin Butsu, the Buddha's heart. The personal aspect of lighting is best understood by a study of Buddhist texts, particularly the latest and most recent as the Lotus Sutra and the Sutra of the Garland, who affirm that the Buddha nature belongs to all living beings. So everyone really light, just do not know they possess. So far we have said something about the lighting more limited: it is an experience that everyone has. So there are the coordinates that identify what we talk about. The latest coordinated Buddha gives us is the purity. The purity is obtained by removing the toxins that pollute the mind. These toxins are called the three poisons (san doku). They are anger (Ikari), desire (musabori) and ignorance (Orok). Buddhism has suggested at different times alternatives to the three poisons. Hinayana Buddhism instead suggested the liberation from the three poisons through the doors leading to the release, namely the recognition of non-self, not desire, not form. These teachings tell us that there are no permanent forms, everything is transient, even the self and desire. Mahayana Buddhism simply suggests to transform the three poisons. The vital force in anger, the desire into compassion and wisdom in ignorance. Together with the purification of the three poisons, Buddhism practice the vision and contemplation of the mind (kanjin). Indeed, it is important to know their own minds to understand the nature of illusions and transform the toxic agents. This practice is through meditation.
In conclusion, the aim of Buddhism, especially Zen, and free life by artificial and unnatural purposes, revealing its true potential. Zen is always presented as contradictory and elusive precisely because it does not accept any kind of manipulation and exploitation. Every time you try to set your mind to something, just Zen denies it. If one turns to negative, also denies it. The truth is not in something, the truth is in everything. The clouded mind is only able to discriminate and distinguish between, on the contrary, the enlightened mind is able to understand and penetrate. To That is why the mind of Zen is closer to the mind of a child at play, and is very far from the mind of those who believe the views and smug certainties. Dougen said that holding the hand open on a pass across the desert sand carried by the wind, while keeping the closed hand will shake a few grains. Zen teaches us to conceive of the opportunities and to refuse possession of what may become an obstacle for life. An example of the mind is provided misleading image of the monkey who became agitated and tormented because he can not grasp the moon's reflection in the water. How many times the human mind behaves like that, twisting and shaking in an attempt to own something? Una domanda senza soluzione è sufficiente a gettare nell’angoscia e nelle tribolazioni. Pur essendo evidente la dannosità di un simile atteggiamento, non si riesce ad evitarlo. La mente non è addestrata a rifiutare la tentazione delle cattive abitudini. La pratica dello zen consiste nello sforzo supremo di imparare a guidare la mente, e non farsi trascinare e controllare dalla mente ingannata e ingannevole. Si comincia osservando la mente e imparando a conoscerla. Quando ciò è avvenuto, la mente non è più un avversario che si scontra con la realtà, ma un compagno di viaggio.
L’esperienza dell’illuminazione consiste nella consapevolezza del non dualismo fra soggetto e ambiente (esho funi), ossia nella compartecipazione identity of the individual and the universe. This awareness leads to the overcoming of all the misleading dualisms that hinder their lives. So no one understands the duality of teacher and student (SHITEI ropes), and especially not the dualism of body and mind (shikishin ropes). If the world is the content of his consciousness, that is what we perceive and think, it is also true that consciousness is a creation of the world. The environment has trained and developed the individual. Who creates is both creation and creator. Recognizing this duality in its authentic nature of identity means possessing the lighting (bodai).



Notes 1. For this reason, Zen masters say that the teaching of Buddhism can only be from heart to heart (ishindenshin).
2. The silent meditation is called in Japanese mokusho zen, meditation on the words and instead called kanna zen.
3. The Dalai Lama insists on checking in Buddhist practice. Blind faith is a scourge and threat to religions that become so intolerant and fanatical. See Dalai Lama, compassion and purity, Rizzoli, Milan, 1995, pp.90-91.
4. Expedients or means, in Sanskrit upaya, Japanese Hoben.

How Much Is A Good Weave

Beat zen

Article published on the beat zen site Nipponico.com.


Beat Zen philosophy and Japanese pop among new age of Christian Martorella


February 6, 2003. The definition of beat Zen by Alan Watts was formulated in an attempt to clarify its position on the popular success that Zen was having in America in the 50s. Alan Watts introduced a distinction fra beat zen e square zen utilizzando una terminologia già esistente e di estrema attualità (1). Con square zen si indica lo zen istituzionalizzato delle scuole Soto e Rinzai, mentre con beat zen si definisce lo zen popolare e volgarizzato, spesso collegato a movimenti artistici. Le parole square (quadrato) e beat (fallito) provengono dal linguaggio hipster degli anni ’50. Square, il conformista, si opponeva a beat, alla gioventù bruciata che viveva nelle strade e nelle comunità artistiche. Alan Watts non si schiera a favore di un genere di zen contro l’altro, e con saggezza mostra quanto sia sconveniente creare una simile contrapposizione poiché lo zen è meno formale di quanto si creda. La gerarchia e l’istituzionalizzazione occurred only after a historical process that has absorbed the Zen in society.

"Over the centuries, however the process of teaching and the refusal to answer questions with other questions has become increasingly formal. Have emerged of the temples and institutions where it is given a proper education and this in turn has created problems of ownership, administration and discipline, forcing the Zen Buddhism to take the form of a traditional hierarchy. In the Far East, this phenomenon has continued to become part of the landscape and some of its drawbacks are nullified by the fact that seems to be quite natural. There is nothing "exotic or special in this phenomenon. Even things organized can grow naturally. But it seems to me that this transplant zen in the West would be something completely artificial. "(2)

Alan Watts does not intend to promote a kind of zen at the expense of another. Even get to say who can beat Zen Square Zen complement each other to create a form of zen, pure and vibrant. However, if you can get to satori (enlightenment) along both streets, Watts takes this opportunity to point out the errors of the followers of both schools. Scholars formal Zen have a tendency to attribute excessive value to the ideas and concepts, studying the text closely and forgetting that they are merely the means. Even take a snobbish attitude that rejects the spontaneity and creativity. Even Suzuki Daisetsu in American universities was considered as a mere popularizer rather than a serious scholar and original. This happened because it gave too much importance to the systematic and scientific rigor. The other error is that the attraction exerted on Western religions exotic. Often it is an interest born of dissatisfaction with the monotheistic religions, but it is a curiosity that remains at a superficial level and immature, rather confused, something that recalls the mystical tendencies of the New Age movement. Alan Watts tries to highlight, and we believe you can, le motivazioni che spingono ad abbandonare le religioni monoteistiche nel mondo moderno.

"L’universo giudaico-cristiano è un universo in cui il bisogno morale, l’ansia di essere nel giusto abbraccia e penetra ogni cosa. Dio, l’Assoluto stesso, è il bene opposto al male e così essere immorali o sbagliare significa sentirsi un esiliato non solo dalla società umana ma anche dall’esistenza stessa, dalla radice e dalla base della vita. Sbagliare suscita quindi un’angoscia metafisica e un senso di colpa - uno stato di dannazione eterna - del tutto sproporzionato al crimine commesso. Questa colpa metafisica è così insopportabile che infine sfocia nel rifiuto di Dio e delle sue leggi, che è proprio what happened to the movement of secularism, materialism and modern naturalism. The absolute morality deeply destroys morality itself, which calls for sanctions against evil are too great. We care about the headache tagliandosela. The charm of Zen, like other forms of Eastern philosophy, is the fact that this reveals, behind the relentless reign of good and evil, a vast region of themselves for which there is no need to feel guilty or make complaints , where finally the self is not separate from God "(3)

Alan Watts suggests something very keen to avoid the error just described.

" But the West is attratto dallo zen e che è in grado di capirlo profondamente deve avere un attributo indispensabile: deve capire la propria cultura in modo così completo da non venir più influenzato inconsciamente dalle sue premesse." (4)

Questa affermazione è condivisibile, e aggiungiamo che costituisce una convalida a quanto abbiamo sostenuto riguardo al concetto di specificità giapponese (5). La specificità giapponese può essere compresa soltanto se conosciamo bene la cultura occidentale, perché specificità e universalità sono unicamente le due facce della stessa medaglia, la realizzazione concreta di storia e cultura. Comprendere il processo universale della storia permette di distinguere l’autentica specificità of different cultures, otherwise it remains at an abstract level. Alan Watts moves this concept individual scope. And it is correct to proceed as well. Bildung (formation) of the person and meets zen discipline according to a somewhat 'simplistic but effective way of understanding Buddhism. Yet there is something much more subtle and shocking in Zen practice. Katsuki Sekida through the lesson explains the philosophy of Edmund Husserl.

"Husserl says that I as a person, as a thing in the world must be eliminated through the phenomenological reduction. The self as a thing in the world is in fact the normal activities of consciousness, which is burdened with a confusing wishful thinking . Quello che Husserl dice può essere riassunto nell’asserzione che se si arresta l’attività della coscienza abituale, anche il confuso pensiero illusorio nell’esperienza personale, psicologica, individuale, scomparirà, e apparirà al suo posto la pura coscienza. Se questa interpretazione è corretta, allora possiamo dire soltanto che questo è esattamente quello che cercano di fare gli studenti di zen, quando siedono sui loro cuscini." (6)

La ricerca della pratica zen risiede nel tentativo di liberare la coscienza dai suoi condizionamenti. Anche Alan Watts è chiaro su questo punto.

"Per ragioni piuttosto diverse i giapponesi tendono a trovarsi a disagio nei confronti di se stessi tanto quanto gli occidentali, visto che possiedono un senso del rispetto umano acuto quasi quanto il nostro più metafisico senso del peccato. Questo si verificava soprattutto nella classe più sensibile allo zen, quella dei samurai. Ruth Benedict […] aveva perfettamente ragione quando diceva che l’attrazione che la casta dei samurai provava per lo zen derivava dal potere che questa dottrina aveva di liberare da un’autocoscienza estremamente imbarazzante, dovuta al tipo di educazione impartita ai giovani. Di questa autocoscienza fa parte quell’obbligo che i giapponesi sentono di competere con se stessi, un obbligo che riduce ogni arte e sapere a una maratona di autodisciplina. Anche se l’attrazione esercitata dallo zen consiste nella possibilità it offers to get rid of this self-consciousness, the Japanese version of Zen fight fire with fire, overcoming "the self that observes himself" with an intensity that bring it to blow it up. "(7) The

Japanese Zen is therefore "the excess of tolerance", the philosophy that would lead to the absolute through the detail carried to excess. These considerations allow us to analyze the value of Zen from the perspective of social sciences. Despite the tight and correct criticisms made by Franco Ferrarotti (8) New Age movement, it seems that we can provide further analysis not entirely negative.
According to Gianni Vattimo il pensiero occidentale moderno è superamento e fondazione (9). Queste due istanze si troverebbero nella logica dello sviluppo che sarebbe stata abbandonata dalla postmodernità. Le caratteristiche della postmodernità sarebbero la desecolarizzazione, la fine delle grandi narrazioni e la crisi dell’idea di progresso. La desecolarizzazione coincide con l’abbandono del pensiero positivista e il ritorno alle credenze spirituali, come appunto la new age. Eppure non corrisponde all’esperienza di queste religioni la rinuncia all’idea di superamento e progresso, anzi subisce un’accelerazione. L’influenza dello zen sposta il superamento al “superamento del superamento”. Una contraddizione soltanto apparente: the overcoming of the excess is itself overrun. As Zen does not eliminate the subject, but the universe recombines, eliminated only as isolated thing in the world, the interpretation presented here of postmodernity is not correct. The idea of \u200b\u200btolerance is not eliminated. Gianni Vattimo is still imprisoned in the Western logic that understands how to eliminate the excess, a logic that Georg Hegel had pointed out as flawed and was replaced with the phenomenology of spirit.

So the concept of postmodernity is misleading to understand new age, pop culture and beat Zen. New Age and beat zen not oppose modernity and antiquity, rather than make a synthesis. Contamination of modern and old should not shock because the basis of Zen focuses on knowledge not a dogma, on the contrary, it opens the world to the infinite possibilities of life. If the New Age movement is criticized for the many flaws that characterize it, this should not be excluded that may have some beneficial effect, such an approach, even superficial, to the oriental philosophy. Order the contemporary popular culture is a behavior typical of the intellectual snobs who pretend so pedantic, but also enhance the pop culture as opposed to the past or to other forms of cultural behavior is exaggerated and unjustified. Past, present and future are never opposed to the culture che essendo viva è capace di evolversi continuamente superando qualsiasi dicotomia. Perciò gli scritti di Alan Watts su beat zen e square zen sono un esempio di equilibrio e buon senso da seguire. C’è poi da sottolineare il fatto che la religione non è soltanto una questione fra dotti, ma riguarda una moltitudine di persone. Escludere l’aspetto popolare della religione significa eliminare il senso profondo della religione: creare un legame fra i membri di una comunità. L’etimologia della parola religione proviene dal latino relegere (raccogliere).

Alcuni gatti non manifestano alcun segno gastointestinale

Manifestazioni quali vomito, perdita

patologie del tratto gastrointestinale superiore, mentre disturbi
quali ematochezia, feci mucoidi, tenesmo e aumentata
frequenza delle defecazioni spesso vengono imputati a
patologie del tratto gastrointestinale inferiore. Tuttavia, i
segni clinici non sono sempre specifici per la sede coinvolta.
È possibile che il vomito consegua a disturbi del piccolo

CLINICAL EXAMINATION
In most cats, the outcome of the clinical

you can detect a state of disidratazioneTalvolta,
there is the presence of abdominal pain oppuredi inguinale.1 alopecia, 24

DIAGNOSIS The diagnosis of intestinal inflammation is formulated
for exclusion, as are several disorders
able to induce a state of gastrointestinal inflammation.
Other diseases that must be taken into account include
infezioni intestinali sostenute da G i a rd i a ,
C a m p y l o b a c t e r, Salmonella, Helicobacter, infezioni virali
(sostenute dal virus della leucemia felina o da quello dell’immunodeficienza
felina), intolleranza
o allergia alimentare e neoplasie.1,5-7,23,27 Inoltre,
è necessario escludere la presenza di disordini metabolici
che provocano vomito e diarrea

Da un punto di vista clinico, gatti di età adulta che presentano anoressia, perdita di
peso, incremento degli enzimi epatici in congiunzione ad un rialzo anche minimo
dei linfociti LGL nel sangue dovrebbero essere sottoposti ad analisi accurate per escludere un linfoma LGL intestinale.
La diagnosi states of this disease requires cytologic examination of intestinal lesions is that blood as it is not possible to show the granules in histological sections. The morphological features and immunophenotype shared by intraepithelial lymphocytes of intestinal mucosa (lamina propria lymphocytes do not contain cytoplasmic granules) and lymphomas indicate that a high percentage of LGL LGL cats originated from the small intestine with a prevalence for the fast and ileum .
infiltration of neoplastic cells was present in mesenteric lymph nodes (all cats) and in the liver and in decreasing frequency in spleen, kidney and bone marrow.
This contrasts with what occurs in the dog where the origin of lymphoma is predominantly splenic LGL.
FeLV-induced lymphomas, are generally "T-cell lymphomas, lymphomas associated with multicentric, mediastinal lymphomas, nervous system and eye. IVF are generally those associated with "B cell lymphomas and a typical clinical presentation was not detected even if the nasopharyngeal lymphoma seems to be better represented. With regard to IVF associated lymphoma, its incidence in the population does not seem to have changed and this appears to be due to the fact that 'FIV infection is enzootic and as such was not affected by vaccination.
Today in lymphomas associated with feline FeLV and FIV are present, the majority of lymphomas diagnosed in the clinic are not associated with Parthian Retroviruses. Lymphoma not Associated with Retrovirus is a B / T cell lymphoma that usually involves specific organs. These include, intestinal lymphoma, kidney, eye, and less frequently than that of the central nervous system. Regardless of
'Association viral or not American labor was substantially increased incidence of lymphomas in the feline species and the possible explanations for this increase are twofold. The first refers all'amento life expectancy of a cat, and as we know lymphoma is more common in older-age adults (median age 11 years). The second hypothesis considers that this increase in reported cases is attributable to the inclusion of a greater propensity feline patients in treatment protocols by encouraging owners indierattamente the increase in cases observed in research centers.
Lymphoma not Associated with Retrovirus has been associated with specific anatomical locations. For example, intestinal lymphoma and nasopharyngeal that are more frequent than the mediastinal and multicentric form. The spread of cases of intestinal lymphoma and explained by the finding in the clinical practice of lymph plasmacitiche enterocolitis in turn result in substantial change of diet proposed for cat power. The hypothesis of an association between chronic inflammation and lymphoma has been proposed in the feline species in which some types of lymphoma developing in organ structures previously known to be affected by chronic inflammation such as the stretch gastroenterico.Tuttavia and must be stressed that the causes underlying the occurrence of non-associated feline lymphoma on Retroviruses are not fully known to date, although an association was made between the lymphoma and exposure to tobacco smoke.
In this study, is also finally confirmed the association between the Siamese breed and lymphoma. In particular, the study observes the development of mediastinal lymphomas in young cats (mean age 2 years) of the Siamese breed, or crosses with this breed. The preparation gene has been proposed although the mechanisms involved in this race to develop this particular form of lymphoma are unknown to date.
In conclusion, epidemiological data are typical of feline lymphoma can be summarized as follows: they are generally not associated retrovirus (FeLV in particular) affect older cats when they are charged to the alimentary tract and nasopharyngeal in particular, while the young cats are associated with mediastinal and generlamente Siamese breed or their crosses.
Staging can be clinical and pathological. Both help describe the tumor at the time of its clinical expression allowing us to know even before the extensions to the deal itself and its anatomical features.
Obviously the process of staging can be formulated after a definite diagnosis of lymphoma was achieved either by cytology and / or histology and, where possible with the use of more sophisticated techniques such as flow cytometry and polymerase chain reaction.
Clinical staging should identify any remote locations anatatomiche involved by lymphoma "primitive" already diagnosed in the absence of clear signs esintomi always refers to the cytological evaluation of the spleen, liver, lymph nodes, blood and bone marrow irrespective of anatomical location of onset of lymphoma previously diagnosed. The clinical stages described for feline lymphoma like canine are 5 and always carried samples of spleen and liver ultrasound to rule the stage IV and blood and bone marrow to rule out the V Stadium.

Hipster e influenze zen

Hipster Trends
zen influences and pop art and religion of Christian Martorella


February 24, 2003. In the 50s and 60s of last century there was a growing and lively interest in religion in Eastern Europe and America. Besides increasing the appreciation of Hinduism, also revealed the complex pop of the Beatles with a trip to India and the production of a record by George Harrison to the Hare Krishna, there was interest in another religious sect, that is, the Japanese Zen. The framers of the boom of Zen in the West were in America and Suzuki Daisetsu Deshimaru Taisen in Europe, who with their travel, conferences and publications provide more than superficial exposure of Zen. This interest was not confined to academic circles, but in particular, exploded in the artistic trends of the period. It is not undue the association between Zen and the arts since it was already present in the original matrix Japanese (1). Art is also an essential component of the hipster movement (in Japanese hippusuta) rejecting the American way of life. Born in the artistic communities of North Beach in San Francisco and the Village of New York's hipster Zen adopted as a justification their social disengagement. In fact, the traditional Zen criticized the artificiality of society increases the power of liberation of the individual through self-awareness. The hipster rebelled against the system through a total disengagement, not trying to change the social order, but ruled out. A radical and therefore more rebellious attitude. In art zen
found the legitimacy of their hipster aesthetic conception of life and poetry of their spontaneous and informal. Conversely hipster, beatnik and hippie was also an experimental laboratory in which they made reference to the avant-garde art from 1947, period of birth action painting of Jackson Pollock, until the '60s and '70s and consolidation experience dei gruppi Fluxus e Gutai. Sarebbe inesatto ritenere conclusa la parabola di queste correnti artistiche che sono ancora influenti. Piuttosto dagli anni '80 si è assistito a un riconoscimento dell'arte ribelle che ha coinciso con un inserimento nei musei e uno studio accademico, il quale snatura il carattere trasgressivo e contestatario. Questa osservazione vale anche per l'utilizzo dell'espressione subcultura che si rivela utile come etichetta sociologica, ma fuorviante per la comprensione dei reali fenomeni storici. Come si è detto in precedenza, dagli anni '80 in poi si è assistito a una normalizzazione dell'arte pop che divenne inglobata e divorata dal marketing delle aziende. L'industria della cultura nata con la società del consumo di massa non spared the vanguard, turning into a commodity even more radical challenge to the phenomena. But you can not even say that the avant-garde are the helpless victims of approval. In fact, were the avant-garde, experimental artists and groups like the hipster, to support an egalitarian spirit and an aesthetic conception of life which condemned the art elite (2). They themselves have contributed to a mass culture and bring out the art from its traditional boundaries. In addition, the use of mass media distributes an overview of aestheticized life. Rather than inform the media produce consensus and a common feeling. Yet this view was to the purpose of hipster aesthetic. And this connection did not stop here.
Mass culture extensively uses pop art was born spontaneously and transgressive. Therefore, it is misleading to contrast the culture and subculture. The culture as understood in the nineteenth century no longer exists. If we were to oppose mass culture and subculture would be a contradiction in terms. There can be no mass culture in which we exclude a group culture. Mass culture reaches everywhere, especially in the globalized world, and realize it by studying the subcultures. In fact they rely on the pervasive power of the mass media (radio, television, internet, etc.).. If we speak of subcultures is solely for the purpose of academic nature. In fact it is much more restrict comfortable labeling it a topic of study instead of determining the relationships between complex cultural phenomena. By contrast, the pop culture denies a contrast between high culture and basic education, in favor of egalitarian art as the aesthetic whole. Those who continue to use the terminology of the subculture proves decidedly conservative proposing the distinction between high and low culture. And it is evident in one term subculture (something that is below).
For these reasons it is not unfair to study the influence of traditional Zen had on Western popular movements in all its forms. Alan Watts was the first Westerner to highlight what it was foolish to oppose the traditional zen studied in universities and the eclectic folk of hipster zen (3). Zen is not a formal discipline has taken on even if the institutional aspects. The practice of Zen is the quest for spiritual awakening, liberation (Gedatsu) conventions that do not allow to have knowledge of the true nature of the universe. How this happens is irrelevant, and Zen masters are aware of how enlightenment (satori) is an individual matter. One aspect stressed by saying "if you meet Buddha kill him," a statement that must be understood as scaling of teaching by a master (4). Kill the Buddha when you come to destroy the hope that someone other than us can be nostro padrone. Uccidere il maestro era un'espressione già usata da Rinzai Gigen nel IX secolo.
Nel 1959 Umberto Eco riprese e commentò il saggio di Alan Watts criticando l'idea che potesse esserci un'autentica influenza dello zen nelle mode culturali occidentali (5). Secondo Eco lo zen era piuttosto una semplice giustificazione degli hipster al proprio individualismo anarchico. Autori come Jack Kerouac adotterebbero i modi esteriori di un conformismo orientale per legittimare attraverso lo zen le intemperanze e i vagabondaggi (6). La tesi di Umberto Eco non ci sembra però sufficiente per spiegare il successo dello zen in Occidente. Liquidare in questo modo la questione, affrontandone soltanto un aspetto, non è vantaggioso per lo studioso. Dal point of view of social science interpretation of the phenomena must be done without a prior proceedings. However human behavior, it should be considered in relation to the values \u200b\u200bfirst made, and then judged. In addition, there remains a distinction between high and low culture that has little effect in the society of mass consumption. As stated by Alessandro Baricco, even Beethoven is a brand (7). Rather, there are many aspects of Zen that still escape. Alan Watts points out in his essay cited above, as the Japanese Zen is a movement of protest and reaction to the excessive formalism of Japanese society. He points out that the institutionalization of Zen has been a historical process (8) which led to a formalization exterior. But is not the outward appearance that we can explain the value of Zen. The hipster in the Eastern tradition captures the rejection of worldly life, and this is not wrong.
In the East there has always been an autonomous social space reserved for spirituality. In India, the yogis which was heavily influenced by the teachings of Patanjali, argued that the thought placed an erroneous conception of reality from which one could escape through physical exercises (asanas) and mental (dhyana). Buddhists in China and Japan recognized the illusory nature of reality and suggested to abandon the attachment (upadana) property. Buddha had accepted the religious order (sangha) the members of any caste, undermining the foundations of social hierarchy. In the Christian West, however, acknowledged the church is still a strong power to the upper classes. The undisputed ruler received the endowment from God (the opposite in China, for example, the mandate of heaven could be his withdrawn from the gods). When we made a proposal to separate the religious and political power was precisely because the overlap was allowed to continue resulting in conflicts tearing. But the space reserved for social religion was inevitably occupied by politics. Even in the East politics has invaded and has taken control of religion for utilitarian purposes. But the pantheistic and polytheistic religions are less vulnerable to political manipulation. And Zen is radically opposed to the authority, dogmas, customs that stiffen the human nature. The resumed
hipster Zen and its art forms that expressed this attitude well. The way we have achieved this recovery is also the question of philology and academia, but from the sociological point of view is completely indifferent to appearance than the result of social action. The aesthetic concept of life did not stop the movement hipster, but has saturated the entire society. We are not dealing more phenomena that belong to a subculture, rather we are faced with what is constitutive of contemporary culture. To determine this is sufficient to turn on a TV and tune in to MTV. No longer can speak of protest movements when they represent the majority of tastes and trends. Instead, you should reflect on the contrast between political power and citizens who should represent it in what are regarded as liberal democracies. Religion is an existential need that can not be regulated by administrative power with only bureaucratic and formal criteria. We must ensure above all a social space for religion and that is taken into account the ability of group.

Nyoze, i dieci fattori

Nyoze. The ten factors according to the Lotus Sutra
of Christian Martorella

August 19, 2006. The Lotus Sutra in Japanese Hokkekyo (1), is among the most popular Buddhist sutras and greater influence. According to many scholars, was written around the first century AD to meet the needs of the Mahayana (Great Vehicle School) that it intended to spread a Buddhism is closer to people without any ascetic deprivation. In this sense, the Lotus Sutra in hand with other records such as the Wisdom Sutra and the Sutra of the Garland.
Among the teachings presented in the Lotus Sutra, has a particular importance and features the doctrine of the ten factors (ju nyoze). The ten factors are the mode of understanding reality, or how the human mind perceives herself and the world around her. The term "factor" translates the Japanese word nyoze (Sanskrit tathata, ju-shih in Chinese) which means "the thing as is". This doctrine teaches that the things we know and perceive immediately without further processing of the mind (ie non-judgmental, opinion, etc..) Can be traced to this pattern of factors (nyoze).

1) So. Appearance or the appearance of things.

2) Sho. Nature or character, is the quality of things.

3) Tai. Entity or body, the body that brings together form and quality.

4) Riki. Power, or the force of things.

5) Sa. Action is the activity that occurs.

6) Interviewer internal causes. The cause of internal change.

7) En. External cause or relationship. The cause or external condition.

8) Ka. Effect of latent or internal effect. This is the effect of what happens inside them.

9) Ho. Pay o effetto esterno. Questo è l’effetto che si manifesta visibilmente.

10) Hon makkukyo to. Coerenza dall’inizio alla fine. Ogni cosa ha un senso senza lacune e interruzioni.

La conoscenza dei dieci fattori permette di distinguere chiaramente il funzionamento della mente e percorrere il cammino di liberazione dalle illusioni.
Importanti commentatori del Sutra del Loto sono stati i monaci giapponesi Dogen (1200-1253) e Nichiren (1222-1282). In particolare, Nichiren spiega i dieci fattori all’interno della dottrina di shoho jisso (il vero aspetto di tutti i fenomeni) e della teoria di ichinen sanzen (tremila regni in un istante).
Secondo Nichiren (2) tutti gli esseri viventi, l’ambiente in which they live and are manifestation of the cosmic phenomena of the universe which is identified with the Buddha. So Buddha is in everything, and everything is manifested in the ten factors. Furthermore, in a single moment there would be three thousand realms or worlds achievable from the combination of factors and spiritual condition. This is the explanation of Nichiren and develops masterly studies of the Chinese T'ien-t'ai.
The theory of the ten factors should also be considered properly within the larger Buddhist doctrine. The ten factors are not elements that make up the reality, but instead are the tools of the intellect, the grid or the conceptual framework that filters the events and makes them intelligible to the mind. The real and only true reality is the Buddha (the whole universe and its interdependence). As for the factors of cause and effect (in Japanese innen), remember that according to Buddha are also illusory. The case is the product of a mental habit (Sanskrit vasana). This understanding of the causes of the production is similar to the explanation provided by the Scottish philosopher David Hume in the eighteenth century. Hume uses the terms custom and habit (eating habits, trends, customs) to indicate a higher power that influences the formation of ideas. If one accepts this interpretation, it is understandable why the need for a light (in Japanese satori) and emancipation (Gedatsu) that reaches up to nirvana (nehan) because they may have in understanding the reality of the universe. Without detachment and freedom from tendencies and habits you can not see beyond the illusions produced by the mind. Yet they are the same illusions that deceive and mislead taken individually, to achieve simultaneously, and vice versa if you consider the overall reality. Diversity is not formed from the mind of those who think, but from the way you use it. Buddha is one who thinks and acts as a Buddha, so anyone can be. So says the Lotus Sutra without mistakes. This doctrine is also consistent with previous theories, Buddhist, otherwise sarebbe comprensibile e concepibile l’avviamento della ruota della legge, ossia la predicazione e l’insegnamento di Buddha. Nel Mahaparinirvana sutra si afferma che tutto quello che ha forma esiste per effetto della mente (3). Il buddhismo autentico è perciò l’esercizio e la pratica della conoscenza e del controllo della mente. Buddha è colui che è pervenuto all’illuminazione ed ha raggiunto tale capacità. La differenza fra chi è prigioniero delle illusioni e chi è pervenuto all’illuminazione non consiste nell’eliminazione delle apparenze prodotte dallo schema dei dieci fattori, ma nella modalità di operare della mente. La mente di Buddha non si ferma a considerare un singolo aspetto, ma coglie pluralism of reality simultaneously.



Notes 1. In Sanskrit it is called Saddharmapundarikasutra literally Lotus Sutra of the Good Law. In Japanese is translated as Myohorengekyo, where myo meaning good, wonderful, extraordinary, and I indicate the law or dharma (teachings of Buddha). Renge is instead the lotus flower, then Kyo means sutra (Buddhist text). Myohorengekyo is abbreviated in Japanese with Hokkekyo, in Italian with the Lotus Sutra. The oldest written version appears in the first century AD, roughly between 40 and 100 AD, a period in which the Mahayana school developed and flourished. The doctrine of the Lotus Sutra is based on ekayana (vehicle only) to propagate the Buddha's teaching about the existence of every individual in the immediate and safe accessibility to the Buddha in this world.

Inga, il rapporto causale

Article on the concept of causality in Buddhism Nipponico.com published on the website.

Inga, the mystique of the law does not exist
The causal relationship according to Buddhism
of Christian Martorella

August 5, 2007. A very misunderstood belief is supported by the majority of Buddhists regard to karma and cause and effect relationship (in Japanese inga to kekko). It is believed, falsely, that every action has a good reward, and each receives a misdeed punishment. So is attributed to the misfortunes and calamities a relationship with the previous actions, not only in this life but even in past lives according to the doctrine of metempsychosis. This system of remuneration and benefits of punishment is called a karma, from Sanskrit karman which simply means action. In fact, the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni, has never given a sense as mechanical and deterministic karma, indeed has always supported the illusory and deceptive nature of the causal relationship. The misunderstanding of the Buddhist
has dramatic consequences, disastrous in practice. Indeed, the fallacious belief that every action is rewarded or punished leads to an agonizing wait for something that will not happen. Found that in this life does not, console themselves Buddhists and deceive hoping next existence. This attitude creates frustration and anxiety, just what the Buddha wanted to overcome. Buddha had also warned his followers insisted the danger posed by religious practice followed incorrectly. The Buddhist doctrine misinterpreted produces damage and pain as well as a snake grabbed the tail is directed against those who hold and bites him (1).
Despite many misconceptions, many Buddhist masters correctly indicate that Buddha gave the explanation of causality. Buddha does not allow a causality in the strict sense. The question requires a direct relationship with the effect. It is this dependence unilaterale che viene criticata da Buddha stesso. È soltanto sotto condizioni molteplici, praticamente infinite, che qualcosa avviene. Ciò che appare, ogni fenomeno, non si origina da sé né da un altro sé, non si origina neppure a caso. In realtà non è prodotto ma si origina in interdipendenza. Non c'è sostanza che si trasforma da sé (produzione da sé). Non c'è produzione dal nulla di un dio o di un uomo (produzione da altro). Tali idee sono soltanto il prodotto di un pensiero antropocentrico che considera le cause al lavoro alla stregua di un ceramista che preso un pezzo di argilla lo trasforma in un vaso. Lo stesso rapporto stretto di dipendenza unilaterale tra causa ed effetto viene disciolto in una molteplicità complex conditions.
Another fundamental mistake is made by the emergence of the coincidence of cause and effect. Generally Buddhists interpret the coincidence of cause and effect as the miraculous power of Buddha nell'esaudire prayers and wishes. But this is not true at all.
actually cause and effect are the same in the awareness (2). Through awareness of the cause is dissolved in effect because it understands and observes the non-substantiality of the causal relationship that is a ghost of our minds (3). There is no single cause but then eventually cause immeasurable and undetectable.

Articolo sull'inganno delle passioni secondo il buddhismo pubblicato dal sito Nipponico.com.

Bonno, l'inganno delle passioni
Aims and traps of Buddhism
of Christian Martorella

August 5, 2007. Buddhism is the teaching expounded by the sage of the Shakya family, Siddhartha (563-483 BC) known as the Buddha (1). Practice and application of Buddhist teaching are designed to liberate human beings from the yoke of pain and suffering, and then develop their full lives. But the Buddha himself predicted that in time his teaching would have been corrupted, misunderstood and degenerate (2). This prophecy is confirmed by a detailed analysis of the practices of Buddhism in countries further from the original teaching, namely China and Japan. The latter country also enjoyed a lively battle, often violent and fierce, buddhismo.Tuttavia among reformers was precisely the conflict of passions to make Japanese Buddhism (3) more active and interesting, despite the misrepresentation of course original. This also explains the success in Europe and the United States of the seven Japanese in all their forms (community of monks, lay associations, academic centers of learning, etc.).. To fully understand Japanese Buddhism is critically necessary to penetrate in the principles that govern the Buddhist practices. The Japanese word
Bonno indicates the passions and illusions that dominate our lives. Bonno The word translates the Sanskrit word which means "passion klesa misleading illusion that captivates the human soul. The term Bonn is composed of bon (bed also means wazurawashii complex, difficult, difficult) and not (in verbal form nayamu means suffering, torment, anguish). From a strictly psychological explain the reason of this theory. The passions and emotions are capable of causing a cognitive distortion that alters the perceptions of reality. In contrast, the emotions are necessary to establish the motives, and therefore can not be eliminated completely. This suggests that the Buddha is a restraint and an awareness that demonstrates every aspect of the real rather than false expectations. The issue of cognitive distortion (4) is crucial both in terms of psicologico, sia nel contesto della corretta pratica religiosa. Il buddhismo non nega la realtà del mondo, ma propone un migliore rapporto con essa, più autentico e verace. Il buddhismo è nichilismo nel senso che distrugge e annienta le illusioni, svelando la verità dell'essere.
La questione della distorsione cognitiva è ripresa anche in un altro insegnamento buddhista, presente in quasi tutte le sette giapponesi: i tre veleni (sandoku). I tre veleni che inquinano l'animo umano sono il desiderio (musabori), la collera (ikari) e l'ignoranza (oroka). L'affrancamento dai tre veleni avviene tramite le tre porte che conducono alla liberazione: non desiderio, non sé, non forma. Praticamente nell'esercizio di trasformare (Hendoku iyaku) the three poisons. It becomes so desire into compassion and anger in life force, ignorance into wisdom. Unfortunately, the three poisons are able to penetrate everywhere and assume unexpected dimensions. The Buddhist practice itself is contaminated by the three poisons, as evidenced by the numerous schisms and betrayals, and Buddha urged their followers to always remain vigilant against the dangers of false teachers and doctrines harmful. Who is using Buddhism for his petty personal use causes serious harm to himself and others. The aim of Buddhism is liberation and that is exactly the opposite dell'asservimento authoritarian practiced in many sects, schools and associations that use the name.
For this reason, molte tecniche mistiche sono nocive piuttosto che benefiche. L'adorazione di un oggetto di culto (5), il gohonzon, è una pratica contraria e opposta all'insegnamento di Siddhartha. Chi venera un oggetto di culto non ne è mai libero, ma ne è lo schiavo. Ci si aspetta dall'oggetto di culto miracoli o interventi divini, benefici e protezione. Però quello che si ottiene è l'alimentazione e la diffusione dei tre veleni (sandoku). La dinamica psicologica di questo processo è chiara ed evidente. Si crede ciecamente nei poteri miracolosi di un oggetto di culto venerato come un idolo. Ciò avviene per ignoranza, superstizione, stupidità (oroka). Si esprime il desiderio (musabori) e si prova rabbia e collera (ikari) perché not fulfilled. The object of worship becomes the instrument of torture that produces this sequence in the three poisons: ignorance, desire and anger. Finally you get the opposite effect to what is desired. Paradoxically, those who believe they practice Buddhism also inevitably prove wrong the dangers of the passions that deceive the mind, namely the correctness of the historical Buddha, Siddhartha.



Notes 1. The title Buddha means "awakened" or "enlightened", ie one who has freed himself of ignorance and know the truth about existence. Siddhartha (563-483 BC) was born in Kapilavastu locations currently in Nepal, but at the time an independent kingdom noble kind of Republican. According to the most reliable history was born in 563 BC and died in 463 BC. However, other dates moving time coordinates in a significant way. According to the Sri Lankan history would be around 663-543 BC, the dates according to the tradition in northern India would be around 463-383 BC.
2. In Japanese, the time when the teachings of Buddha has become incomprehensible is called map. Currently, the modern age in which we live would be the time of the map.
3. The Japanese schools are more important Hoss, Kegon, Tendai, Shingon, Rinzai, Soto, Obaku, Ritsu, Jodo and Nichiren.
4. The most interesting analysis on the cognitive distortions have been published by Jon Elster. See Elster, Jon, sadder but wiser? Rationality and emotions, Anabasis, Milan, 1994. See also the volume of sour grapes. See Elster, Jon, sour grapes. Unorthodox versions of rationality, Feltrinelli, Milano, 1989.
5. The object of worship, the Gohonzon in Japanese, is present in many Buddhist sects. In the Pure Land sect (Jodo) can be represented by statues of Amida or something else that you remember, while the Nichiren sect is a mandala made up of a scroll with the inscription of names of deities and supernatural title Lotus Sutra. In case the Gohonzon is kept in a domestic altar called butsudan. In contrast to these customs, Bodhidharma prohibiting the use of religious objects, so the Japanese Zen sect do not.
