The Sunday Night!

Sunday 11:32 p.m.
'Enlightenment in this very body is all that matters.' Shakymuni.

According to the legend, there should be a thousand buddhas in this kalpa, and Shaymuni is the fourth. Nobody remembers the first three, but that is not supposed to matter since they all say the same thing.

This is obviously complete bollocks.

If a kalpa is described as the length of time it takes for a silk scarf to wear away a block of granite .... well, we would have been with the American creationist nutters and have buddhas hanging about with the dinosaurs.

However, 'Enlightenment in this very body is all that matters' is an inspirational thing even although you don't know what enlightenment may mean. It doesn't matter what it is or how you could or couldn't express it. Some cats get it and some cats don't.

I've been very disappointed with myself since I got away from the jobbie on Wednesday. Drinking massive amounts of beer and blogging on Thursday was wonderful, but every day thereafter I've been entertaining the too dumb to meditate, or at least speaking to them and socialising with them every bleeding day. I need to keep contact with my deep dear friends and I can do that if I socialise once a week. Hello. Are you alright? How are you? Shame you're too dumb to meditate, but that's not my fault.

I haven't meditated enough since Wednesday and I can't blame the flatheids for that. Compared to last week when I was in the Samye Ling for two nights, dreich, Jack! Fung dreich!

I may not live for so much longer. Moi will certainly not get this chance again.

Don't despair, Hotboy! You're the only one there. Apart from you, they'll all completely flatheided. They do not get even a wee tottie bit of the bliss. And tomorrow is another day. You have to go to the jobbie, but some people aren't even well enough to get out of their beds. So don't despair because you aren't perfect. Yet. But you've had some kind of access to the bliss since about 1993. What a fortunate, fortunate creature you are, Hotboy! What a fortunate creature you are!

Harish Johari: 'Three days of taking only lukewarm water cleanses the body of toxins and cures disorders without medicines.' I bet it does too!

Re "This is obviously complete bollocks" - for once we're in agreement.

I had heard that too, about taking only lukewarm water. I understand you can buy the tubing and funnel at the chemist.

Albert? Due to the heavy duty calvinist toilet training, I suppose you were bound to get the wrong end of things. You drink the lukewarm water. I haven't fasted for ages. Even a day does a lot of good! Hotboy p.s. Considering how skinny you are, maybe not such a good idea for you.
