God's Death: Kurt Vonnegut Has Left the Planet

God has really died this time. And, as his Mother Night so gently urged us to know, "When you're dead, you're dead." That's all.

We can console ourselves in the Hocus Pocus and other tricks or treats he left us. Then move along, re-minding one's self to try never forget to always, "Just be kind."

Kind of interesting (4me, at least — as most multiple coincidences have been since the Celestine Prophesy arrived at my room in Saigon from Canadada exactly on my birthday, just over a decade ago):

I was just “Clipmarking” your “Meet the Geeks” ipodcast and sending it to a friend-cum-teacher of mine at the Central Monastery in Saigon, one Master Minh Thanh. Just FYI: Su Minh Thanh provided Vietnamese interpretation for the Dalai Lama in New York some years back and solely wrote and edited some related rag that’s soon to be reborn in Yankland, supposedly with a contribution from yours (hopefully) truly. [Ref: Clipmarks, http://clipmarks.com/ — just some more WebToo toys.]

Then i noticed this upcoming ‘cast, “Buddhist Geeks 13: Genpo Roshi on Big Mind”, and, click, click, click, all of these contrasting and complementary memories of recent events suddenly popped into Mind.

I blathered on for another half dozen para's i at least had fun hammering out. But i'll leave it to the BGeeks to determine their Fates. (Though i also ScrapBooked the whole page just in case the BGeeks suddenly suffer simultaneous fits of delusion and decide not to approve my post.)

21st Century Buddhism

While claiming a history spanning back to days of the Persian Empire's establishment by Cyrus the Great, Confucius and Zarathustra (500s BC), Buddhism's emphasis on truth and skepticism, even about its own teachings, provides it with a vital relevance now attracting even twenty-somethings today.
