Budhism; War and Anger

since early times Tibetan Budhist monks have used debate to understand their humanity. I was fortunate to have attended a display of this discipline at the Troy Music Hall. It completely changed my view on aggressive and passive behaviors and how they can strengthen our self expressions in a positive way used in a compassionate, self controlled & peaceful way... enJoy...

there are many videos that show these debating practices...

Budhists have resorted to violence...
from
http://buddhism.about.com/od/basicbuddhistteachings/a/war.htm

To Buddhists, war is akusala -- unskillful, evil. Yet Buddhists sometimes fight in wars. Is war always wrong? Is there such a thing as a "just war" theory in Buddhism?

Buddhists at War

Buddhist scholars say there is no justification for war in Buddhist teaching. Yet Buddhism has not always separated itself from war. There is historic documentation that in 621 CE monks from the Shaolin Temple of China fought in a battle that helped establish the Tang Dynasty. In centuries past, the heads ofTibetan Buddhist schools formed strategic alliances with Mongol warlords and reaped benefits from the warlords' victories.

The links between Zen Buddhism and samurai warrior culture were partly responsible for the shocking collusion of Zen and Japanese militarism in the 1930s and 1940s. For several years a virulent jingoism seized Japanese Zen, and teachings were twisted and corrupted to excuse killing. Zen institutions not only supported Japanese military aggression but raised money to manufacture war planes and weapons.

Observed from a distance of time and culture, these actions and ideas are inexcusable corruptions ofdharma, and any "just war" theory that arose from them were the products of delusion. This episode serves as a lesson to us not to be swept up in the passions of the cultures we live in. Of course, in volatile times that is easier said than done.

In recent years Buddhist monks have been leaders of political and social activism in Asia. TheSaffron Revolution in Burma and the March 2008 demonstrations in Tibet are the most prominent examples. Most of these monks are committed to nonviolence, although there are always exceptions. More troubling are the monks of Sri Lanka who lead the Jathika Hela Urumaya, "National Heritage Party," a strongly nationalist group that advocates a military solution to Sri Lanka's ongoing civil war.

Is War Always Wrong?

Buddhism challenges us to look beyond a simple right/wrong dichotomy. In Buddhism, an act that sows the seeds of harmful karma is regrettable even if it unavoidable. Sometimes Buddhists fight to defend their nations, home and family. This is not "wrong." Yet even in these circumstances, to harbor hate for one's enemies is still a poison. And any act of war that sows the seeds of future harmful karma is still akusala.

Buddhist morality is based on principles, not rules. Our principles are those expressed in thePrecepts and the Four Immeasurables -- loving kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity. Our principles also are kindness, gentleness, mercy and tolerance. Even the most extreme circumstances do not erase those principles or make it "righteous" or "good" to violate them.

Yet neither is it "good" or "righteous" to stand aside while innocent people are slaughtered. And the late Ven. Dr. K Sri Dhammananda, a Theravadin monks and scholar, said, "The Buddha did not teach His followers to surrender to any form of evil power be it a human or supernatural being."

To Fight or Not to Fight

In "What Buddhist Believe," the Venerable Dhammananda wrote,

"Buddhists should not be the aggressors even in protecting their religion or anything else. They must try their best to avoid any kind of violent act. Sometimes they may be forced to go to war by others who do not respect the concept of the brotherhood of humans as taught by the Buddha. They may be called upon to defend their country from external aggression, and as long as they have not renounced the worldly life, they are duty-bound to join in the struggle for peace and freedom. Under these circumstances, they cannot be blamed for becoming soldiers or being involved in defence. However, if everyone were to follow the advice of the Buddha, there would be no reason for war to take place in this world. It is the duty of every cultured person to find all possible ways and means to settle disputes in a peaceful manner, without declaring war to kill his or her fellow human beings."

As always in questions of morality, when choosing whether to fight or not to fight a Buddhist must examine his own motivations honestly. It is too easy and too common to rationalize one has pure motives when in fact one is fearful and angry. For most of us self-honesty on this level takes extraordinary effort and maturity, and history tells us that even senior priests with years of practice can lie to themselves.

Love Your Enemy

We are called upon also to extend loving kindness and compassion to our enemies, even when facing them on a battlefield. That's not possible, you say. Maybe it isn't; I can't say I've ever tried it myself. Yet this is our path.

However, over the years I've met people who seem to think that one is obligated to hate one's enemies. I hear them say how can you speak well of someone who hates you? Well, if people want to hate me that's their business, but I can choose not to hate them back. And if you have to fight someone, then fight. But hate is extra.

So often in human history, war has sewn seeds that ripened into the next war. And often, the battles themselves were less responsible for evil karma than the way occupying armies treated civilians, or the way the victor humiliated and oppressed the conquered. At the very least, when it is time to stop fighting, stop fighting. History shows us that the victor who treats the conquered with magnanimity, mercy and leniency is more likely to achieve the lasting victory and eventual peace.

Buddhists in the Military

Today there are more than 3,000 Buddhists serving in the U.S. armed forces, including some Buddhist chaplains. Today's Buddhist soldiers and sailors are not the first in the U.S. military. During World War II, approximately half of the troops in Japanese-American units such as the 100th Battalion and the 442nd Infantry were Buddhists.

In the Spring 2008 issue of Tricycle, Travis Duncan wrote of the Vast Refuge Dharma Hall Chapel at the U.S. Air Force Academy. There are 26 cadets currently at the academy who practice Buddhism.

At the dedication of the chapel, the Reverend Dai En Wiley Burch of the Hollow Bones Rinzai Zen school said, "Without compassion, war is a criminal activity. Sometimes it is necessary to take life, but we never take life for granted."

Anger and Buddhism

What Buddhism Teaches About Anger

...even highly realized masters admit they sometimes get angry. This means that for most of us, not getting angry is not a realistic option. We will get angry. What then do we do with our anger?

First, Admit You Are Angry

This may sound silly, but how many times have you met someone who clearly was angry, but who insisted he was not? For some reason, some people resist admitting to themselves that they are angry. This is not skillful. You can’t very well deal with something that you won’t admit is there.

Buddhism teaches mindfulness. Being mindful of ourselves is part of that. When an unpleasant emotion or thought arises, do not suppress it, run away from it, or deny it. Instead, observe it and fully acknowledge it. Being deeply honest with yourself about yourself is essential to Buddhism.

What Makes You Angry?

It’s important to understand that anger is something created by yourself. It didn’t come swooping out of the ether to infect you. We tend to think that anger is caused by something outside ourselves, such as other people or frustrating events. But my first Zen teacher used to say, “No one makes you angry. You make yourself angry.”

Buddhism teaches us that anger is created by mind. However, when you are dealing with your own anger, you should be more specific. Anger challenges us to look deeply into ourselves. Most of the time, anger is self-defensive. It arises from unresolved fears or when our ego-buttons are pushed.

As Buddhists we recognize that ego, fear and anger are insubstantial and ephemeral, not “real.” They’re ghosts, in a sense. Allowing anger to control our actions amounts to being bossed around by ghosts.

Anger Is Self-Indulgent

Anger is unpleasant but seductive. In this interview with Bill Moyer, Pema Chodron says that anger has a hook. “There's something delicious about finding fault with something,” she said. Especially when our egos are involved (which is nearly always the case), we may protect our anger. We justify it and even feed it.

Buddhism teaches that anger is never justified, however. Our practice is to cultivate metta, a loving kindness toward all beings that is free of selfish attachment. “All beings” includes the guy who just cut you off at the exit ramp, the co-worker who takes credit for your ideas, and even someone close and trusted who betrays you.

For this reason, when we become angry we must take great care not to act on our anger to hurt others. We must also take care not to hang on to our anger and give it a place to live and grow.

How to Let It Go

You have acknowledged your anger, and you have examined yourself to understand what caused the anger to arise. Yet you are still angry. What’s next?

Pema Chodron counsels patience. Patience means waiting to act or speak until you can do so without causing harm. “Patience has a quality of enormous honesty in it,” she said. “It also has a quality of not escalating things, allowing a lot of space for the other person to speak, for the other person to express themselves, while you don’t react, even though inside you are reacting.”

If you have a meditation practice, this is the time to put it to work. Sit still with the heat and tension of anger. Quiet the internal chatter of other-blame and self-blame. Acknowledge the anger and enter into it entirely. Embrace your anger with patience and compassion for all beings, including yourself.

Don’t Feed Anger

It’s hard not to act, to remain still and silent while our emotions are screaming at us. Anger fills us with edgy energy and makes us want to do something. Pop psychology tells us to pound our fists into pillows or to scream at the walls to “work out” our anger. Thich Nhat Hanh disagrees.

“When you express your anger you think that you are getting anger out of your system, but that's not true,” he said. “When you express your anger, either verbally or with physical violence, you are feeding the seed of anger, and it becomes stronger in you.” Only understanding and compassion can neutralize anger.

Compassion Takes Courage

Sometimes we confuse aggression with strength and non-action with weakness. Buddhism teaches that just the opposite is true.

Giving in to the impulses of anger, allowing anger to hook us and jerk us around, is weakness. On the other hand, it takes strength to acknowledge the fear and selfishness in which our anger usually is rooted. It also takes discipline to meditate in the flames of anger.

The Buddha said, “Conquer anger by non-anger. Conquer evil by good. Conquer miserliness by liberality. Conquer a liar by truthfulness.” (Dhammapada, v. 233) Working with ourselves and others and our lives in this way is Buddhism. Buddhism is not a belief system, or a ritual, or some label to put on your T-shirt. It’s this.

The Normal Flora 

In a healthy animal, the internal tissues, e.g. blood, brain, muscle, etc., are normally free of microorganisms. However, the surface tissues, i.e., skin and mucous membranes, are constantly in contact with environmental organisms and become readily colonized by various microbial species. The mixture of organisms regularly found at any anatomical site is referred to as the normal flora, except by researchers in the field who prefer the term "indigenous microbiota". The normal flora of humans consists of a few eucaryotic fungi and protists, but bacteria are the most numerous and obvious microbial components of the normal flora.

Figure 1. Gram stain of a species of Micrococcus, commonly isolated from the skin and nasal membranes of humans. 

The predominant bacterial flora of humans are shown in Table 1. This table lists only a fraction of the total bacterial species that occur as normal flora of humans. A recent experiment that used 16S RNA probes to survey the diversity of bacteria in dental plaque revealed that only one percent of the total species found have ever been cultivated. Similar  observations have been made with the intestinal flora.  Also, this table does not indicate the relative number or concentration of bacteria at a particular site. If you are reading online, you can skip this table and use it as an ongoing reference.

Table 1 Notes

(1) The staphylococci and corynebacteria occur at every site listed.Staphylococcus epidermidis is highly adapted to the diverse environments of its human host. S. aureus is a potential pathogen. It is a leading cause of bacterial disease in humans. It can be transmitted from the nasal membranes of an asymptomatic carrier to a susceptible host.

S. epidermidis. Scanning EM. CDC.(2)  Many of the normal flora are either pathogens or opportunistic pathogens, The asterisks indicate members of the normal flora a that may be considered major pathogens of humans.

S. aureus. Gram stain.
(3) Streptococcus mutans is the primary bacterium involved in plaque formation and initiation of dental caries.  Viewed as an opportunistic infection, dental disease is one of the most prevalent and costly infectious diseases in the United States.

Streptococcus mutans. Gram stain. CDC
(4) Enterococcus faecalis was formerly classified as Streptococcus faecalis.The bacterium is such a regular a component of the intestinal flora, that many European countries use it as the standard indicator of fecal pollution, in the same way we use E. coli in the U.S.  In recent years, Enterococcus faecalis has emerged as a significant, antibiotic-resistant, nosocomial pathogen.

Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus faecalis. Scanning E.M. CDC
(5) Streptococcus pneumoniae is present in the upper respiratory tract of about half the population. If it invades the lower respiratory tract it can cause pneumonia.  Streptococcus pneumoniae causes 95 percent of all bacterial pneumonia.

Streptococcus pneumoniae. Direct fluorescent antibody stain. CDC.
(6) Streptococcus pyogenes refers to the Group A, Beta-hemolytic streptococci. Streptococci cause tonsillitis (strep throat), pneumonia, endocarditis. Some streptococcal diseases can lead to rheumatic fever or nephritis which can damage the heart and kidney.

Streptococcus pyogenes. Gram stain.
(7) Neisseria and other Gram-negative cocci are frequent inhabitants of the upper respiratory tract, mainly the pharynx. Neisseria meningitidis, an important cause of bacterial meningitis, can colonize as well, until the host can develop active immunity against the pathogen.

Neisseria meningitidis. Gram stain.
(8) While E. coli is a consistent resident of the small intestine, many other enteric bacteria may reside here as well, including Klebsiella, Enterobacterand Citrobacter. Some strains of E. coli are pathogens that cause intestinal infections, urinary tract infections and neonatal meningitis.

E. coli. Scanning E.M. Shirley Owens. Center for Electron Optics. Michigan State University.
(9) Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the quintessential opportunistic pathogen of humans that can invade virtually any tissue.  It is a leading cause of hospital-acquired (nosocomial) Gram-negative infections, but its source is often exogenous (from outside the host).

Colonies of Pseudomonas aeruginosa growing on an agar plate. The most virulent Pseudomonas species produce mucoid colonies and green pigments such as this isolate.
(10) Haemophilus influenzae is a frequent secondary invader to viral influenza, and was named accordingly.  The bacterium was the leading cause of meningitis in infants and children until the recent development of the Hflu type B vaccine.

Haemophilus influenzae. Gram stain.
(11) The greatest number of bacteria are found in the lower intestinal tract, specifically the colon and the most prevalent bacteria are the Bacteroides, a group of Gram-negative, anaerobic, non-sporeforming bacteria.  They have been implicated in the initiation colitis and colon cancer.

Bacteroides fragilis. Gram stain.
(12) Bifidobacteria are Gram-positive, non-sporeforming, lactic acid bacteria. They have been described as "friendly" bacteria in the intestine of humans.Bifidobacterium bifidum is the predominant bacterial species in the intestine of breast-fed infants, where it presumably prevents colonization by potential pathogens. These bacteria are sometimes used in the manufacture of yogurts and are frequently incorporated into probiotics.

Bifidobacterium bifidum. Gram stain
(13) Lactobacilli in the oral cavity probably contribute to acid formation that leads to dental caries.  Lactobacillus acidophilus colonizes the vaginal epithelium during child-bearing years and establishes the low pH that inhibits the growth of pathogens.

Lactobacillus species and a vaginal squaemous epithelial cell. CDC
(14) There are numerous species of Clostridium that colonize the bowel.Clostridium perfringens is commonly isolated from feces. Clostridium difficilemay colonize the bowel and cause "antibiotic-induced diarrhea" or pseudomembranous colitis.

Clostridium perfringens. Gram stain.
(15) Clostridium tetani is included in the table as an example of a bacterium that is "transiently associated" with humans as a component of the normal flora. The bacterium can be isolated from feces in 0 - 25 percent of the population.  The endospores are probably ingested with food and water, and the bacterium does not colonize the intestine.

Clostridium tetani. Gram stain.
(16) The corynebacteria, and certain related propionic acid bacteria, are consistent skin flora.  Some have been implicated as a cause of acne.Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the agent of diphtheria, was considered a member of the normal flora before the widespread use of the diphtheria toxoid, which is used to immunize against the disease.

Corynebacterium diphtheriae. No longer a part of the normal flora.

Two beautiful Black Walnut "boards" for work. The thickness runs from 1/8" to 1/4", nearly veneer, and 12" x 81" at their maximums. I ran across these at a local woodworkers shop in the almost scrap bin; $2.00/ea. Will return the Black Walnut stain/ink I made into drawing/painting with these boards creating a whole new work of art. Wood in its natural being is already a work of art and we'll be collaborating with the energetics of its' innate woodness...

Gratitude in all there is comes to mind this morning... enThanks..

in my twenties I had the dream, many share this dream with me, that I lived in a metropolis in a big glass bubble. the dream; I was nakyd and taking a crap and never realized the whole world was watching me/you/us. I was so em-bare-assed that I drew the "what shades!" and have gone on laughing for years not real eyesing what I was saying to myself in the first place...
For all of us artists we set our bare asses out on the sidewalk and of course every man, woman, child, dog, cat, dragon and mountain lion comes along and sniffs our sensitives. At first it tickles like hell and sets us into hysteria, no matter how humble or constipated we think we are. We strive to get over it with human nature and continue to act creatively, no matter what endeavor we find ourselves pursuing; God she's beautiful!, what a great job!, my car/bike is my life, shit, I feel like hell, et all...
Ahhhhhhhom, I Love the Wee hours!....
