Hossen & Mondō: Dharma Duelling in Zen Buddhism.

Quotes.

Dharma Dueling (jap. hossen): a verbal joust or battle of "wit" as respects the Dharma, usually between two enlightened persons. In practice it is sometimes difficult to draw a clear distinction between hossen and mondō, but generally speaking, a mondō involves only a question and an answer, while a hossen can develop into an extended encounter. Dharma dueling is the typical Zen method of demonstrating Truth without recourse to logical conceptions. See also: "mondō".

-- Quoted from "The Three Pillars of Zen" by Roshi Philip Kapleau.


Mondō (literally, "question and answer"): a uniquely Zen type of dialogue between a master and a student wherein the student asks a question on Buddhism which has deeply perplexed him, and the master, skirting theory and logic, replies in such a way as to evoke an answer from the deeper levels of the student's intuitive mind. See also: "Dharma Duelling".

-- Quoted from "The Three Pillars of Zen" by Roshi Philip Kapleau.

Buddhadharma Magazine.

Buddhadharma magazine arrived at my apartment today. :)



On this issue's cover, the wrathful deity Mahakala takes a selfie.

Ritual objects, once used as a means of communicating with the gods, are replaced with iPhone, all against a backdrop of quotations from Mao Zedong's Little Red Book.


One of these is published every of the year's quarters.

This one is for Fall 2018.

Subscribed for one year, also have access to this and to every of other issues of Buddhadharma in digital form.

i hope that materials within will let me understand other Buddhist Schools, as well as HH Ogyen Trinley Dorje's School.

This makes sense after Joint statement of His Holiness Trinley Thaye Dorje and His Holiness Ogyen Trinley Dorje.


   

Worlds of Dharma & Worlds of Magick.

About.

i think Buddhism is Powerful.

i think Esoterics is Powerful as well.

i think Buddhism is more integrally coherent, however - there's a lot of efficient cooperation methods that ensure that.

This has faults as well, we are too proud - sometimes worse than gods, in my opinion.

i feel Buddhism considers other ways as inferior too often, especially smaller spiritual minorities. This is disgusting & foolish.

We are not most numerous of Views, there are more numerous Religions, including Islam.

i think we need Allies & Friends, but our foolish & disgusting pride is the major obstacle, in my opinion.

My next move is to learn a Black Magick, to turn Darkness into Light, to work with Karmic Connection, to gain Powerful Allies.

i'll try to Awaken the Black Magick, to learn & wield it's power, to awaken Mind Qualities of appropriate Evil beings - focusing on Lucifer & Lilith the most, including Awakening their Compassion & Wisdom.

i'll try to help in 'hells', to turn darkness into light.

i don't know how much time i need.

i'll try to help Buddhism still, i'll try to keep in touch, but for a while i'll focus on Esoterics more.

i wish to return, however - please be considerate & patient.

i'll inform as is neccessary, but not too often - this is dangerous to talk openly of such evil, in my opinion - others would abuse, or misunderstand.

If neccessary i'll resign from that way for Enlightened & Magickal Love, even completely. But if this happens, we won't have so many benefits, allies & friends.

i do not wish to fall into the 'Comfort Trap' and be too exclusive with my pride with 'hells'. After more or less of 3 years of service in 'hells' (i do not know how much time i need, exactly - it's just a rough estimate) i wish to complete with the Buddhist Correction-Lessons and after that to serve their enemies as well, striving for the Peace.

Then i wish to proceed with my Way to Enlightenment again. We'll see then how it'll develop.

i do not wish to abuse using the Black Magick & other inner values as well.


Spells.

Black Magick, Awaken!

Blessed be.

Dispersion Dharma - Technomagick.

i won't provide details, but it's what i did in short.

Almost 7 years ago i started to develop Dharma - Technomagick called 'dispersion'.

i meditated, and did far more.

It gives user many advantages, including dispersing mind disturbances, dispersing dispersions & dispersing magick.

It's fairly solid already, but still uncomfortable to use.

Still not at full power, skill & comfort.

It's scheduled to be completed on 7.06.2018, by then it should be far better in many aspects including in lesser karmic & esoteric backslash consequences.

Feel free to learn (by wishing after reading this article), but there's karmic debt to repay associated - it's a lot of work.

i do not force to learn or use.

It's activated by speaking in mind or aloud word: 'dispersion' or 'rozproszenie', it can be used many times, each use is escalates in cost slightly for a while, shorter or longer depending on karma & rank in esoteric circles mostly, but art / science involvement also is for advantage.

Dharma.

About.

'Dharma (Tib. Chö): Buddha's teachings.

Translates literally to 'the way things are.'

It encompasses the three levels of teachings - Small Way, Great Way, and Diamond Way - and is part of the Buddhist refuge.'

-- Quoted from 'Buddha & Love' book by Lama Ole Nydahl.
(I hope that I am not wrong by translating 'Basic Way' to 'Small Way').


Blog author's comments.

It's said that Dharma is a word for 'Buddha's Unsurpassable Teachings'.

There are other Dharmic Religions as well - it's found in Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism.

When in relation with Buddhism, it's often spoken as: 'Buddha-Dharma'.


Other explainations.

There are also other explainations of word: 'Dharma', but i've chosen the single simple one to avoid the confusion.

Those curious can find more in other books or lectures, including in: 'The Three Pillars of Zen' by Roshi Philip Kapleau.

Beneficial Ways.

Introduction.

This blog's author knows that while it can be beneficial to help others even while unemployed,
Lama Ole Nydahl still enourages actively working as well as practicing Buddhism in our daily lives.

i wish to find proper employment, will start to look for work since January 2017.

i wish to find work in Software Security, as a 'Pentester' preferably. i wish to work for 3 years in that field mostly to gain professional experience in Software Security as a preparation for my future projects. i wish to share my income with Buddhism & not only.

i could use support of others, to prepare for that work, to find that work & to keep it as well.

Namaste.


Art-Dharma Lessons & Protecting our Ways.

One of my wishes i did in past was to protect Lama Ole Nydahl's Transmission as an Ethical Hacker & IT Security Expert.

There are many ways to accomplish this, one of them is to build a Secure Art-Application such as: 'Art & Dharma Teachings' Project of mine.




Why this route?

Because the Art speaks Clearly & Beautifully - lessons conveyed with Arts are easier to understand & absorb.

This project also has to be technologically secure, as well as able to serve lessons to many customers at the same time.

With a proper Buddha Dharma & Arts understanding, the Art-Dharma lessons can be analyzed & categorized as well - so proper lessons are given to proper people, taking into account factors as initiations acquired, current meditation practices, as well as other considerations as neccessary.

i understand that succesfully completing this project requires following:
- understanding Dharma well enough - preferably with finding proper advisors that are well-versed in Buddha Dharma,
- understanding Art well enough, understanding the way Art speaks, understanding messages it conveys - preferably with assistance of Buddhist Art-Advisors,
- understanding Technology well enough - including software construction, web-cloud projects related concerns, as well as software security issues, 3d graphics & modelling, audio-video films streaming, virtual reality (i think that in-browser virtual reality will happen in this life), probably much more,
- understanding Processes of Learning & Teaching, including the nature of Cognition - in relation with Buddhism, Psychology, Arts, NLP, Mindfulness, Philosophy & perhaps other Sciences,
- proper initial investments - i am willing to invest my own money for this a project, possibly with mortgage bank credit & other financial solutions,
- patience & dedication.


Knowledge needed to make software that is needed beside computer sciences is called in programmer's jargon a 'domain knowledge'; Usually in an order to write an application properly, customer with domain knowledge is approached by an analyst - then talks ensue. Analyst's reports are sent to a software designer, then software's design & analyst's documentation papers are passed to programmers/developers who fill in whole code details. Then application is tested and after a proper procedures passed to the customer for reports, modification & correction orders if needed. Often software changes with time, as reality changes and customer adjusts his or her needs as well. We programmers say that programming is iterative (repeating in circles) process.

When a programmer knows domain knowledge, however - whole process is simplified, faster, better. Customer needs need to be addressed as well however, so talks are still neccessary.

This blog's author aims to understand as much of the needed Art & Dharma Teachings' domain knowledge, as well. Who is customer in my case? i think it's Artists, Buddhist Teachers & Sangha - even if it's me who will be paying them for their advices & time, at first at least.


Wishes.

i wish for all beings to find best work for their ways, work they love, work well worth their efforts, work that won't waste their precious time.

i wish for all beings to develop & realize their Mind's potential fully.

i wish to encourage all beings to reach Liberation & Enlightenment, without hurrying, demanding or pressuring them to do so.

Dharma Realization Level & Happiness.

Introduction.

... this has occured to me, i think it's true.

... i think i read, experienced & understood enough - to share without introducing too much of the confusion to the reader.


Realization.

'Realization' is an act of making something 'Real', transforming an idea occuring in mind into something real, tangible - for example by painting an image that expresses something, constructing an electronic device, or writing an article on a blog.


Realization Level.

'Realization Level' is a measure of how much, how well, how deeply something was Realized.


Dharma Realization Level.

'Dharma Realization Level' is a wording, a phrase that points to the amount of time & effort someone put to Realize Dharma, Buddha's Unsupparsable Teachings, in his or her life.

It's a way of saying that someone accomplished something significiant, not only understood but also worked with the understood ideas, transformed his or her life, as well as other lives ... developed both wisdom & compassion in a certain way.

There are different lessons, different Dharmas, different aspects of the Buddha's Way.

i think that every Dharma - when understood & applied correctly - leads to the better Karma, closes someone to the Enlightenment as well.

i think that a certain Dharma Lessons are best applied together, are more synergic than other Dharma Lesson combinations, but i am not sure of that.

i think that Lesser Dharmas combined together amount to the Higher Dharmas, Greater Ways, but i am not sure of that still - even if my experiences seem to confirm.


Happiness Level.

i think that it's a Buddhist Lesson that 'Happiness Level' is determined by:
- someone's Karma - including one's Mind state, as well as the 'External Situation',
- someone's Dharma Realization Level.

i think it's true at least up to Liberation - i didn't attain the Liberation yet.

i think i read that after Liberation the rules change, Liberated beings are happier as well.


Experiences, Feelings & Security.

Had insights that what we call 'Experience Level' (PL.: 'Poziom Przeżywania') is about Feelings & Security.

A highly-realized being on a Dharma Way, with a high 'Experience Level' feels great, has energy, emanates happiness as the Sun - everywhere he or she goes.

It's said that on a 'High Experience Level', 'Every Sound is a Mantra, Every Thought is a Wisdom'.

The 'Experience Level' amounts in this case to the 'Intensity of Happiness' & 'Energy Available'.

Had insights that this a 'Happines Feeling' & 'Energy' guides everyone somewhere, as a 'Light Source' - either to the 'Enlightenment' or to something false.

Other insights explained that occasionally, when danger appears - other feelings arise - from a pain to shivers, their intensity & effectiveness depending on the Karma, Danger, & Dharmas Realized, and Dharma Realization Level.

... that being said, i can't confirm this paragraph nor deny it completely,

... curious ones should check on their own, i think.
