Sentimental Dharma

As we all know, The Dharmakaya lives with 'my little pony', Santa Claws and sugar and spice and all things nice . . .

Living in a sentimental world, vicariously through the immature, dharmically new age or other means is very seductive as mr cushion likes to tell me . . .

Do we have an emotional need for Baby Buddhism? So cute . . .

    I'm going to go meditate on that creature's skeleton, internal organs, and tendency to shit in inappropriate places, in order to foster nibbida for its OMG CUTENESS!

    Thanks guys,

    My feeling is that an immersion into 'Buddha World' (not yet available as a theme park? . . . oh I dunno . . . ) is very beneficial to the average consumerist.
    Buy them books, get your practice toys, wear your earrings, Malas, smug and all knowing smile with dharma pride. Light a candle for your departed thoughts . . .
    In other words 'play' will lead to pay off . . .
    In a sense we find the dharma fakery is also surprisingly meaningful . . . and a good reminder . . .

    If Dharma teachers were cartoons, Trungpa Rinpoche was Foghorn Leghorn.

    Interesting to note: One man's sappy is another man's solemn and vice versa. Of course no no one views his/her own persuasion as sappy ... which is probably a mistake.

    Oh, I can well admit mine can be sappy at times... Just ask me why I believe in Santa Clause. Well, maybe in another 9 months.

    Just roll you eyes and let children be children. But one thing must be granted: Sappy is sappy is sappy is sappy. This is unmistakeable. @genkaku needs the Truth Squad sent his way to straighten him up on this point.

    I had to sit through a kitschy 2-minute preview at the movies today. It was an overripe movie about Heaven due to be released at Easter. I survived with panache by diverting my attention from the screen and triumphed when I belatedly got to see Meryl Streep's stupendous performance in August Osage County. Oh, that story about the Christmas "present!" It broke my heart. Look, if it's on the big screen, IT'S REAL to me.

    "Truth is Beauty, Beauty Truth." If it ain't real it ain't really pretty, now. Is it? But some aren't interested in true reality. Another poet said, "Humankind cannot bear much reality." Humankind consists of a lot of the childish of all ages. It's the childish people who make all the demands, start all the wars, start expeditions doomed to failure, build things made to break down, and, finally, make really corny idols and dolls to venerate. The lattermost is the lesser of all these sins, and therefore I have listed it last.

    Yes :(

    The immature wish to be taken seriously. The hypocrites wish their hypocrisy to be applauded as sincerity and integrity . . .

    Are we putting it on or taking it off? Mask that is . . .

    and now back to 'the real' . . . whatever that is . . . :)
