-- Has buddhism lost its centre of faith?
Archbishop Joachim Meisner of the western city of Cologne, made a
broad attack on modern culture in a speech to inaugurate a local
museum on Friday 14 September 2007: "When culture is disconnected from
divine reverence, the cult descends into ritualism and culture
degenerates. It loses its centre," he said, shocking Germans with the
Nazi term, 'degenerate'." [Copyright and Courtesy: The Australian

To illustrate this point, I'll brief convey my experience of going to
the Gold's World of Judica as bookshop situated at in O'Brien Street,
Bondi.
O'Brien St is particularly difficult to navigate precisely because it
takes several unusal dog's leg twists and turns from Old South Head
Rd, you have to turn left at the 3rd roundabout and then you find at
Hall Street, it again makes a deviation. Gold's bookshop ends up
being on the opposite side of the road where you expect it to be.
Suffice to say I got lost yesterday and telephoned the bookshop for
directions. Oh you are very close she said, Hall Street intersects
with
Campbell Street at the beach. We're near the beach just off Hall
Street in O'Brien Street. That this women was in fact being haughily
unhelpful to strangers but actually failing to give precise directions
as I have done, in order for a person to get from A to B. That the
directions she had conveyed were of no value and she might as well
have said, 'GO TO HELL!'.
Its a long way to walk from Kings Cross out to Gold's World of Judica,
and I was already tired so I went home.
The next day I made the journey again.
Upon entering the bookshop, I asked the male shop assistant if I could
pick his brains with respect to directing me to the most suitable
books that he had in the abtuse field of interest that I had.
I explained to him that I was researching Martin Heidegger's 1931/1932
lectures on Being and Time (one can easily see that if he did not
regard the Sabbath of the Jews, how a Nhilistic mind and attitude
could possess such a culture) and his summation of the philosopher's
Hegel and Kant.
That I was able to harmonise such philosophical rhetorical form with
Jewish Torah and Kabbalistic semantics--that I often write in empathy
with Torah Scholars from an American Jewish www-site known as
Torah.org.
The man at the bookshop was not interested in providing any assistance
to me--he displayed all the empathy of a Nazi death camp Commandant.
I conveyed to him that I thought he might be better acquainted with
the books as stocked within his shop. I further conveyed that I was
not happy with the less than benevolent attitude conveyed by the
female member of staff. That it was a long walk from the city, and
her directions were not at all helpful.
I then left the shop because it was apparent to me that there was a
pathological hatred towards me being directed by the bookshop
owner.
If fact I formed the view, that given the Australian Jewish
Community's lack of outrage at the Federal Government's 2004 passage
of the
Marriage laws: 'marriage means the union of a male and female to the
exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life' made to
the
Marriage and Family Law Act, together with the a lack of concern
relating to Heidegger's conceptions of 'Logos and Infinity and its
logical grounding in Chronos', 'Contraction of thing' relating to the
autonomic transformative prototype and 'finite and absolute cognition'
with respect to marriage laws and the Sabbath, that these
representatives of Judaism have indeed lost their centre of faith--
that they are a cult which has become disconnected from Divine
reverence--and descended only into ritualism as a degerate culture.
I had with me a copy of my current chapter titled 'Big Bang In Theory
and Practice: Allahu Akbar or Ali BaBa Magic?' which I had every
intention of bestowing upon them--but as there was exhibited a
palpable hostility and a singular lack of helpfulness, I refused.
On my return walk at the Bondi Mall, just prior to the Bondi central
trans****t hub where there was an emergency services, bomb evacuation
exercise the night before, I saw a magician performing his tricks.
There was a Jewish man standing there. I approached him with my
chapter sealed in a plain envelop and said, I went to the bookshop
just now and they didn't have any books I needed for my particular
interest. And then gave him the do***ent.
Now back to the consideration that Buddhism too has lost its centre of
faith. That centre of faith which is conveyed by its various statues
is an autonomic right represented by an anthropic figure. That the
centre of its faith is the Dalai Lama, who's relation****p with his
people can be described in the same way as the relation****p between a
centre of a circle and its cir***ference.
That his being in exile is a betrayal of that autonomic right--that
the most effective action he can take, is to cease the emotional
manipulation of the people's autonomic right which is held hotage by
him whilst he is in exile. The effect is like wagging a pencil, a
small tenuity as action at one end causes massive swing and disheval
at the other.
Australians are deceptively dishonest about an adequate contest
against Dutch colonialsim. In all other respects Australia's
aspirational goals towards establi****ng a Commonwealth--as notionally
the product of German Intellectualism, and which in routing the
Indigenous Dutch
Australian population into a Territory is absent of any underlying
unifying autonomic anthropic cosmological principle such as the
Sabbath or the Septet mathematical form implicit to the GRAPPLE
HOMOIOITC NOUMENON. By the manifest of an Irish presence with its own
agenda for a national identity, which has been historically bestowed
as pestilence upon this nation as a product of British Imperialism,
its culture is indistinguishable by its essential character from
German Fascism.
Do we see Indigenous Dutch Australian's engaged in hostility towards
their fascist Irish task masters--or for that matter the lack of
human
rights which exists under British Imperialism. Certainly there is
impatience at their haughty indifference, but it does not lead to
riotous
and irrational hypomanic behaviour due to hyper activity as the manner
in which Free Tibetian protests are made.
Its all to simplistic to renounce China. A far better approach is for
Tibet to regain its dignity related to the autonomic right--but so
long as the Dalai Lama remains in exile, the Tibetians have lost their
centre of faith.
