“Eating rice isn't preparation for shitting; shitting isn't preparation for making manure. And yet these days people think that high school is preparation for college and college is preparation for a good job.”
- Kodo Sawaki, The Zen Teachings of Homeless Kodo
Bomta Khenpo continued his explanation, "Once you truly understand the teachings, it is impossible to forget the meaning, no matter how old you might be.
My problem is the opposite: there seem to be more teachings than i can possibly contain. Sometimes they slip out, so I have to tell this old geezer to shut up and slap him until he stays quiet.
"But it doesn't help. He just continues talking about how all phenomena are interconnected, how the world and all beings are interconnected on both an outer and inner level, and how the manifest quality of spontaneous presence is related to essence, nature, and capacity. Then the old geezer goes on to how the empty essence has a cognizant quality of natural experience that can be either pure or impure, unfolding as either the inconceivable wisdom displays or as the proliferations of dualistic mind. Sometimes incredibly detailed explanations come out, describing the scenery and the adornments of the world as the illusory city of the aggregates, elements and sense-bases. Isn't it true that the forests and greenery resemble the hairs on our bodies?"

Not enough people talk about the impact that Southern citizens wearing parody KKK hoods with different colors and neoliberal slogans on them had on social inequality in their era.

a while back I made a post along the lines of "every STEM major should have a required 'history of science' course that's just all about previously wrong and bad scientific theories like sperm all containing homunculi and spontaneous generation" and I got a lot of responses like "but STEM majors already have gen ed requirements!" and would not understand why I was specifically asking for a course that would teach people about why science is not infallible and does not exist in a vacuum and THIS IS EXACTLY WHY ACTUALLY

The only thing that can compel me to post on Tumblr is when the world straight up gaslights me for not uniformly liking and celebrating small details about art that I really like.
I’m not even going to draw the parallel between the octopus in Oldboy and the squid in The Sympathizer but you should know what he meant!
