Mr Z., the purpose of a human life according to buddhadhamma is not happiness. It is liberation, including liberation from happiness. You continue to misread the dhamma in the most delightful ways, although the sheer fact that the theme continues to occupy you is in itself a miracle. Please carry on (if you feel that Hegel et alia begin to fall away, do take that as sign that understanding is not far). Many thanks for your remarkable work; good luck, etc

Thank you for this upload!

the latent issues in any and all thought-form is that of conditions for blind obedience and whether challenges to any and all conditions seeking such are made available ...

A working hypothesis could be that nirvana is relational, dynamic and not static.

Furthermore, nirvana is not a location, or place, to be "entered" into. But it is also not a mental construct or state. Mahayanists reify Nirvana, saying something like "I'll postpone my own 'Enlightenment' until samsara is empty" - they disregard a few fundamental questions, including: "Who or what would be the last being in samsara?"

the problem with ill informed dialogical positioning is that of being diatribe ~ the dialectics of the Thai Peasant movement is captured in and by the Thai Land Reform Act 1975.

...or perhaps also ... _'Why do the Jews need Amalek as an enemy'._ ...or again, since Jews were fully ascendent in Germany before the war years, including Heidegger and all his associates of course, and since 'nazism' is indistinguishable from zionism, _'why did the Jews need the figure of the German, and the European, and especially the working-class, as an enemy'?_ *'Is this not ideology at its purest?'*

I can 👍 without even having heard it . . . Wasn't this also a Hegelian move 🤔 like criticising books or fillems (zizekian move) which we haven't even read or seen . . We all should do less and think more, I claim

And also let me add : this dealing with missing factual knowdlege or things , we're all familiar with. Criticism on big scale politics. Spending money we don't have and so.on and so.on ~ Or just being an ordinary self-proclaimed expert in any field demanding a dorks intervention. Find a blog or some stupid philosophical discussion and throw in what u have. There the pulse and throb of life will unfold to it's fullest, I claim.

with my limited knowlege about Buddhism, I don't agree Zizek's understanding. No killing is No.1 law of Buddhism, and it's main reason Buddhism lost India thousands years ago. See, how a no killing religion become a State religion? Himler and Oppenhemmer's text are not Buddhism, it's hinduism. By my understanding, nowaday True Buddhism is only Chinese Zen Buddhism. Chinese Zen has 4 principle: no estabished text, teaching Zen only outside of Buddhism institution, point to yourself mind or heart for enlightment, when you see your essence or character you become Buddh. In Zen Buddhism, everyone can become Buddh, you practice Zen to enlightment, become a person like Buddh. You have to follow all the Buddhism rules, no killing, no lieing. And Japanese Buddhism had no rules, until a Chinese Grand Master moved to Japan. Think about, In China, True Buddhism is leaving his or her own family, and Japanese Monks can marry and have children. About Dalai Lama, his teaching about pursuit happiness is not Buddism, It's American Constitution, he had to change his teaching to get more attention. There is a video about Dalai Lama dibate with a Chinese Zen Buddism master, there is nothing about happiness. It's all about understanding and enlightment. Because Chinese Zen Buddism relay on person to person teaching, there is not much Chinese Zen Buddiasm text. For no beliver like me, my understanding of Chinese Zen Buddism is all coming from ancient Zen master story, from which You can see Chinese Zen master using dialectical reasoning thousands years ago. They almost like Higel. here are two stories of Zen master. 1. there was a famous Zem master living to very old age. However, he went to farmland everyday doing pyhsical laber. His students want help him, hided all his farm tools, so he don't need do the work. Then, the master stopped eating that day, until his tools returned. He eat food happiely, said "one day no work, one day no food". This master remind me Zizek himself, read books everyday as daily work. 2. there was a student leaving family to follow a Zen master. However, after many years study, he still didn't reach enlightment. One day, he went to his master asking to leave, said he just don't understand Budda, don't know how to reach. The master told him, when you return home, see someone ware cloth reversely, and ware shoes as hat, that person is Buddh. When he returned home, calling out, his mother rush out with reverse cloth and shoes as hat to greet him. However, even in today Taiwan, True Zen Buddhism must follow commercial desire to teach ZEN.
