When I hate, love, cry or anything else, is it really "me"? It may sound distracting, but whenever "I" am feeling something within my heart, I got the realization that it is just a structure of thoughts based on experiences. And because thought is mostly temporary and can be changed completely, I refuse to give such process an own totality and an own identity, but what I may say that I really am is the consciousness, the element of observation and contemplation at all time. So when I hate something, is it really me? Taking away all identifications, all ideas of oneself, what will be left? For the most of us, nothing. But if you look closer, its something that just watches. And in that watching lies something beautiful and connects experience with the whole of life, with the whole of the universe. Now, my point would be: Why do you want to deal with hate in our society? To adapt to an insane humanity is not a signal of health, in the words of J. Krishnamurti, and he may be totally right. What the life needs most right now, is to create societys that are based on human nature rather than exploiting human beings for the establishment of wealth and power. But to do so, we need people who realize the misleading state of western societies, which is hard to realize, because people seem to like pleasure and illusive climaxes and put them over actual truths. If that would change, we would not talk about hate, rather about how to use the present moment to make the best out of the day.
2 Masters meet. They meditate. One of them explains anger and hate to the other master, arguing that it is all an illusion. Suddenly one of them stands up and slaps the other one in the face. Angered, the master stands up and wants to hit back. In the last moment he calmly sits down again. The attacker begins to speak and tells him: If all of this is nothing, where does your anger come from. ----- Some funny looking robes you got there. Don't forget that Buddha is a piece of shit, and so is satori / enligthenment. All that meditating in a material world, wont change the matter itself. Sitting on a pillow, beeing still, having a calm mind - What does it do for the world? There is a time for Meditation, and there is a time where you can let it all be and work.
Why is Buddha a Piece of Shit? And why should meditation change the material world ? Where is your delusion coming from? Satori has nothing to do with englightment by the way. It seems you have no idea about what you talking.
