I dunno. Maybe a real damn hungry Buddhist would eat the fruit. Normally they just collect the seeds and make rosaries out of them.

Actually Buddhism doesn't prohibit the eating of meat. Otherwise the Tibetans would have starved to death. (You try growing crops enough to feed everyone in that climate.) Oh wait. Perhaps it's moot anyway because of the Chinese pwnage on the himalaya region.

There are certain times in certain meditative practices which require meat to be given up....but that's in the context of a ritualized mindfuck.

Man. Tibetans will eat anything that lives and isn't human. Though they prefer bovine animals, and bread, and buttery things of all sorts. Gods! Do they love butter!

Shit. I have been to Losar (Tibetan New Year) parties where everyone is ripping it up drinking and dancing. And the monks are over in the corner watching and palying cards. It's a trip until you get used to it.

I know Buddah and Buddah rocks! Now how do Buddists meditate? What is the point of meditation? That is wasting time. Y'know? There is too much left unfucked. Y'know?
And then it happened.

You know Buddha?  


Did you kill him when you met him?

Hey gang!
do you know that experience when you read things ten times in, say a years time and then on the eleventh time something clicks? Well, I was just rereading Liber Chaos and this jumped out as Ve-e-e-ery Interesting in it's implications

QuoteIt is generally if not invariably tha case that personal creativity and achievement are directly proportional to personal sexual turmoil. This is actually one of the major but often unrecognised techniques of sex magic. Inspire yourself with maximum sexual turmoil and confusion if you really want to find out what you are capable of in other fields. A tempestuous sex life is not a side effect of being a great artist for example. Rather it is the art which is the side effect of a tempestuous sex life.

The Muse, the hypothetical source of inspiration, usually pictured in sexual terms, is the Muse only when one's relationship to her is unstable. Every possible moral pronouncement on sexual behaviour has doubtless been given a million times before, and it would be unseemly for a Chaoist to re-emphasise any of it. However, one thing seems reasonably certain. Any form of sexuality eventually invokes the whole gamut of ecstasy, self-disgust, fear, delight, boredom, anger, love, jealousy, rafe, self-pity, elation and confusion.It is these things which make us human and occasionally superhuman. To attempt to transcend them is to make oneself less than human, not more. Intensity of experience is the key to really being alive and given the choice I'd rather do it through love than war any day.

Hugh!
Not that it REALLY matters but I find it somewhat interesting that you and I have some similar background-i.e I associate with  Nyingma Teachers such as Tarthang Tulku and Penor Rinpoche and I feel some sense of truth in what you were saying
QuoteLaypersons can reach enlightenment...Paradoxically: I think that Buddhism contains some successful paths to enlightenment...but only because I have witnessed living enlightenment in some of my teachers. I do not feel that it is necessary to become Buddhist to be enlightened.  Enlightenment and mental freedom is not bound up to any doctrine or practice, even Buddhist ones. However I do feel that Buddhism must be approached as Buddhism, meaning: A lifestyle/culture of awareness that embraces religion, art, philosophy, psychology, whathaveyou. Buddhism cannot work well if approached from only one of its aspects or from other religion's understandings.
