HARDCORE ZEN: October 2011
http://hardcorezen.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 30, 2011. Gene Simmons bragged that KISS fans often got tattoos of the band. He said, "When you're in the KISS Army, you're in for life! I've already countered that boast by posting some photos from people who have had the cover images from my books tattooed on their bodies like this one. But now I have an even better thing to brag about. Remember that massive infection I told you about that I went to the hospital in Berlin for? As I usually do, I drew a little Godzilla-type creature next...

HARDCORE ZEN: May 2012
http://hardcorezen.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 31, 2012. I had thought that my previous post would be the last actual post on this blog. But I met with the guy who is working on my new website yesterday and it seems like a few more things have to be fixed before we can go live at the new website. So I'm going to leave you with at least one more thing here. Which is about my upcoming travels. According to Blogger's statistics, over 52,000 comments have appeared on this blog since it started. Fifty two thousand! My God. That's a lot&#...

HARDCORE ZEN: December 2011
http://hardcorezen.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 25, 2011. A Christmas Stocking Type Jumble of Unrelated Ideas. Or if you don't do Christmas Happy Kwanza, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Festivus, Rohatsu or whatever. I like these protesters better. Seriously. To translate this into Nishijima's terms, "prickly" = "sympathetic nervous system" and "gooey" = "parasympathetic nervous system.". Watts, being a gooey sort, chose a gooey way of expressing the same idea. In the world of goo it's more acceptable to be slightly prickly. Posted by Brad Warner.

HARDCORE ZEN: WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE... I MEAN MY BLOG
http://hardcorezen.blogspot.com/2011/07/welcome-to-my-nightmare-i-mean-my-blog.html
Friday, July 29, 2011. WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE. I MEAN MY BLOG. A few days ago a writer for Huffington Post named me as one of twelve Buddhists to follow on Twitter. Ever since that article appeared, people have been adding me like mad. Since I usually post links on Twitter to any new blog post I put up here, I thought I’d take the time to write a little intro to this blog for all those potential new readers. It ain’t gonna happen. To info about that and here is a link. To a list of other upcoming appear...

HARDCORE ZEN: February 2012
http://hardcorezen.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 28, 2012. So I'm sitting here trying to think of ways I can continue to buy Fancy Feast for Crum the Cat. Several people have proposed that I ought to start doing dokusan. Sessions online via Skype and charge money for them. But that idea, frankly, makes me want to vomit. Dokusan,. For those who may not know, is a private personal interview with a Zen teacher, usually conducted as part of a sesshin. Besides which, if it's not done in the context of a retreat it isn't really dokusan.

HARDCORE ZEN: January 2012
http://hardcorezen.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 26, 2012. There are no silly questions. Only silly people! No I don't mean that really. I don't know why people always want to belittle their own questions. This one's a pretty common one. The real question is; Does awareness need an object? Or does awareness only appear when we divide subject and object? In practical terms, when my zazen gets screwy I fix my posture. When it gets screwy again, I fix my posture again. But there's no real need to be aware of anything specific. I used to ...
