*catches sassy, takes opportunity to grope her inappropriately*

Jeez, I love this place. simultaneous buddhism, existentialism, shiny objects and hairy butts in lingerie.


The strawberry is an example of both lack of attachment, and simultaneous oneness of all things. You simply cannot become attached to the strawberry. It is consumed in the very process of enjoying it, and goes away. Attachment to the strawberry as an item is physically impossible if you eat it. And it likewise represents oneness, as it integrates into your being during consumption, imparting some of its' essence into you in the form of nutritious strawberry goodness.

So to enjoy the strawberry, one must let it go, and yet it to becomes one with you the moment you let it go.

I am much clearer on this; that makes a great deal of sense.

I like the idea of cultivating the moment, and attending to sensory experience as a way to understand oneness. That's pretty close to the tantric perception that we relinquish attachment as we experience what we are attached to.

Puts this on jukebox. It's my motto: simply being loved is more than enough. Come and dance, my children.
 
if I dance naked in the moonlight will it frighten away the werewolves? make a good theme for a poem that lol

Well, a significant portion of the teachings is to live in the moment, for the moment, and to cut away the noise and chatter of life. This is why zen art is often so minimalistic (especially compared to the mahayana bling-fests). In our branch, strawberry/honey, tiger example, the imperiled man ignores all of the dangers and distractions to simply savour that one aspect of that one instant, with no thought to past or future.

It is karma yoga, aka the yoga of action, and thus samprajnata samadhi, at the same time. The object (which leads us to samprajnata as opposed to asamprajnata) of the meditation is the strawberry, and the meditation itself is the act of savouring it with no thought to consequence.

The illusory natures of the tiger, the branch, and the cliff all fall away as the single flame of taste becomes the focus of the doomed man. It really is beautiful.
 
be careful of that big stone in the middle ........ oops too late

*wanders in from the kitchen with a basket of chocolate covered strawberries*

i wish these stones would stay in place. i've gotta get a more efficient adhesive. rolling in Swarovsky crystals after working up a sweat doesn't seem to be a good long term solution either....

*bends over to retrieve another fallen gem*

i think i may need some help reapplying

*adjusts aquamarine pasties*

it's a good thing i keep a banana skirt in the back room. having some serious wardrobe malfunction here.
 
probably could do with a bit more but nooooooo spanking!

Surely you don't actually mean that.

Shall it be Hommie or me?

I bet he'll be gentler about it.

Excellent phrase.

You are easily the most enlightened dommy-type I've ever known. You make this stuff make sense in a way that many don't...

In about 45 minutes I will be leaving the bistro for the evening.

There are strawberries to be eaten.

Sassy, what we need to do is get these crystals strung into a lingerie set for you. I have lots of semiprecious beads. I think maybe about three strands of fluorite and aquamarine, maybe this faceted stuff, strung just like this...

or like this....

see, that's perfect. And while not what anyone would call modest, you wear it so very well...

That's not fair you know I find it hard to resist Homb being anywhere near my bottom
 
ooo...ooo...can i watch?


bj, sparkly lingerie.....do want!

I think you'd look stellar in a ruby teddy...

or just put these on as pasties:

lovely. these will be perfect. they can hang from the pasties like tassles. beyond earlobes, i'm soooo not into piercings. *shudders*
I can think of others places to hang them......
^crosses legs like a steel trap*

Excellent phrase.

:eek:

I don't exactly have a stellar opinion of the direction the mahayana sect went. I'm much more ch'an/zen adherent in my thinking.

:eek: again

*bows*

Weeelll, I have a degree in this stuff. That, by itself, means nothing, but it does mean that I am perhaps more broadly read than someone more actively involved. Given the history of the philosophies attached, the evolution of the beliefs, the history of the regions, when the philosophies were introduced, etc, I am given the opportunity to get a broad look at what is going on. And, as I have precious little personal stake in mysticism, as I am trying to gain no converts, I can afford to leave my semantic load accessible. And, honestly, I've spent hours and hours listening to college professors blather on about this, then more hours trying to reexplain it my classmates.

For whatever reason, I had far less trouble grasping this than, well, pretty much anyone else I studied with. My primary religious studies professor had actually spent time with the Maharashi Yogi in India, and was a former Hare Krisna, and he made comments many, many times on how well I got on with this material. I wrote a couple of koans for him, and he actually accused me of plagiarising them :D

The result of all of this is that I have figured out how to get the material to come across a little more clearly. I figure if I can explain it, then maybe I can get someone interested enough to read for themselves. Unfortunately, I am an awful person, and would make a horrible Buddhist. I'm too worldly, too fond of meat, and, fuck me running, but my karma is a train wreck.

I have heard this more than once before.

ooo...ooo...can i watch?

Heard this before too. And, yes, I'm happy to have an audience for such things.

please do I'm sure there is plenty Homb could teach us both

*snort* Yeah, this I've heard too. :D
 
Well, Hom, you're obviously a natural mystic in that sense. And an excellent teacher.

Ever considered starting a thread discussion on how aspects of Zen, Buddhism and other forms of mysticism and evolutionary practices inform the exploration of kink and BDSM? I know I'd be there with bells on.

I started a thing myself just now, but I don't know if I'm going to find any takers. It's pretty specific...

Meanwhile, I think the Bistro needs some more seeds for poetry. How bout a koan we can all struggle with and write about?

G'morning everyone. I'm terrifyingly chipper today, if a little tired. *waggling eyebrows meaningfully and smugly*

Allen Watts was involved with the BDSM community in San Francisco.


just sayin' :cool:

not sure how he felt about the bells.... ;)
 
*laughing*

oh that's just rude. But funny.

Don't get me wrong. He's perfect. I'm hysterical about the jet.

and he's about as much of a natural sub as....


I am.

eh bien. :rolleyes:
