Notes in Samsara: Mercy Killing
http://mumonno.blogspot.com/2015/01/mercy-killing.html
A Blog from a Zen Buddhist with a technical background. Thursday, January 01, 2015. I have clearly heard teachers in American Zen Buddhism imply that mercy killing may be mandated. By the precepts in certain circumstances. So I guess I'm going to have to reconcile that with this bit from a Chinese Buddhist site. That says mercy killing is necessarily a no-no. Posted by Mumon K. I dont know - and doubt that anyone can know - if there is life after death. Is mercy killing permissible? I'll be putting this ...

A Blog from a Zen Buddhist with a technical background. Sunday, September 28, 2014. It's skill we need, not cults. Ross Douthat - known as Chunky Bobo. In some quarters - writes. Of course whenever I. Study social sciences I always go to an associate of.um. well let's just say that this "we need more crackpots" argument is a bit self-serving. Why are "futurists" rarely dystopian? That's what we need. Posted by Mumon K. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'll be putting this up shortly. I think I've ...

Notes in Samsara: Dukkha

A Blog from a Zen Buddhist with a technical background. Monday, December 01, 2014. This is why I have had my suspicions about the "business" sections of bookstores for decade. No matter what is tried there's no magic bullet to run one capitalist organization better than all the others, actually, because capitalism. But then you also don't need the idea that there is a "Welch Way" or a "Google Way," etc. Posted by Mumon K. Hi you might like this Buddhist poem on impermanence. Blogs I often read. One Time,...

A Blog from a Zen Buddhist with a technical background. Friday, August 08, 2014. I have at least one post pending on one Robert Sharf,.

Notes in Samsara: Tu quoque
http://mumonno.blogspot.com/2014/05/tu-quoque.html
A Blog from a Zen Buddhist with a technical background. Tuesday, May 20, 2014. Not all of us go goo-goo over the Dalai Lama. Not all of us aren't racists. Nor do we really ascribe all that much political import (why, I mean, Buddhism. To the Dalai Lama's religious critics. Nor, while I'm at it, do all of us equate being adept at increasing generosity, wisdom, and compassion with knowledge of religious text. Hey, Mr. Malik. A lot of us have already said what you did. Pay attention. Posted by Mumon K.

http://mumonno.blogspot.com/2015/04/not-actually-zen-buddhism.html
A Blog from a Zen Buddhist with a technical background. Friday, April 03, 2015. Not actually Zen Buddhism. I haven't had very much to say at all lately on this blog, as is evident. And, because of the demands of time and life - I hadn't spent much time in the Buddhist blogosphere lately. Part of it is that some of the old folks who used to blog don't do it so much anymore. Is a welcome exception, as is Brad Warner. But now I have to show other. Than she'd probably like to admit. Aims to teach sangha lead...

Notes in Samsara: No ethnicty is excluded
http://mumonno.blogspot.com/2014/08/no-ethnicty-is-excluded.html
A Blog from a Zen Buddhist with a technical background. Monday, August 04, 2014. No ethnicty is excluded. Many early images of the Buddha look like this one - came into being after Alexander the Great invaded Bactria. It's the Buddha, not Apollo. There were Korean or Japanese practitioners. And yes, indeed, it is because of Western imperialism.usurping Persian and Indian imperialism all of which had long been rendered irrelevant by the time the Mongols arrived. Posted by Mumon K. Blogs I often read.

A Blog from a Zen Buddhist with a technical background. Saturday, June 07, 2014. I'm wasn't a big fan of Neil deGrasse Tyson anyway, but. I guess there is a place for Prof. Tyson in explaining The Science to everyone. I get that. And I really should stop reading Salon. But, alas, today I did. I think I will try to contact him and explain something about Zen to him.if I can't get a hold of him I will publish a response to him here. Posted by Mumon K. Labels: Buddhism in the Media.
