Praise for Many Ways, Middle Way, No Way Hollywood Buddhism Sizzles! Michael Attie knows his dharma, and understands show-biz, and he puts the two together in this profound, lighthearted and often touching book. Attie will take you with him to visit the esteemed Zen master Sasaki Roshi or the Hindu saint Neem Karoli Baba, and then to meditate in his ‘Don't Worry Zendo’ or at the Playmates lingerie meditation hall. Can you find universal consciousness through the Feather Boa Dance? Read this book and find out! You'll have a good time on the way. —Wes Nisker, author Crazy Wisdom, (Ten Speed Press) Michael Attie’s Many Ways, Middle Way, No Way examines Buddhism’s many facets—its principles and practices, its lineages, and its consonance with other disciplines—all the time reminding us not to take anything too seriously. Attie’s approach is encyclopedic, thoughtful, compassionate, and best of all, gently outrageous. —Jeff Kane, author The Healing Companion, (HarperSanFrancisco) A witty, compassionate, reverential and wise description of meditation and ordinary spiritual practice by a wandering pilgrim whose understanding matured immeasurably at midlife when he became the owner of “the world’s largest lingerie store.” Based upon his personal experiences, Attie describes an unconventional, self-authenticated, non- authoritarian spiritual practice drawn from Eastern devotional traditions and meditation techniques that embraces everyday life and promotes relationship and the collective experience. Attie’s romp through Eastern mysticism and practice illuminates, instructs and celebrates life’s juxtaposition of chaos, passion, music, poetry, art, travel and people with spiritual practice. His world is a warm place filled with love, humor and appreciation. –Stan Madson, editor, The Bodhi Tree Book Review In Many Ways, Middle Way, No Way, Michael Attie blends his clear and approachable Dharma interpretation with deep insight gained by living a joyful and attentive life. In so doing, he opens wider the path toward balance and clarity in our own lives. This manual is a true gift: an 1 invigorating book filled with love, humor, wisdom, and a dose of invaluable anecdotes from poets, roshis, saints and sages. –John Brandi, author, Heartbeat Geography (White Pine Press) Michael Attie is passionate about meditation. With enchanting tales about his journey through the halls and temples of several Asian spiritual traditions and hilarious directions for breaking down staid concepts about meditation, Attie will entice even the most reluctant to find a cushion and begin a meditation practice. His life as a "Lingerie Monk," the richness of his experience as a meditator, and his earnest storytelling animate this personal and useful book. –Susan Suntree, Editer, Wisdom of the East: Stories of Compassion, Inspiration, and Love(McGraw-Hill) Many Ways, Middle Way, No Way is a unique, humorous and openhearted book which will delight the independent-minded spiritual seeker. –Adelaide Donelley, author Sorrow Mountain(Kodansha) 2 Many Ways, Middle Way, No Way A GUIDE TO MEDITATION, SPIRITUAL AWAKENING AND FUN Michael Attie 3 Stay open and quiet that is all. What you seek is so near you that there is no place for a way. —Nisargadatta Cover design: Jake Freydont-Attie & Noah Bardach ISBN 0-9772538-0-5 Published by: Neon Buddha Press 444 n. flores st.

I lay no claim to them being ‘mine’; they come from here, there and everywhere. Writing this introduction, I realize why Milton Berle has always been my favorite comedian. Most of his humor usually centers around one topic—joke thievery. Meditators are sort of inspiration thieves. A line or concept from here or there—a lecture, interview or a book—sticks in your mind; insights from your sitting practice are confirmed and inspired. After a while it all fades in and you may not exactly recall where insights first came from. Although we are all ‘little Miltons,’ meditators aren’t possessive of wisdom, but believe that there is only one great teacher, whom we can all hear when we allow our usually busy minds to become quiet. Real understanding comes from this teacher and doesn’t belong to anyone. So I don’t feel too guilty for my omissions. Here and there I acknowledge a source, but I’m sure that many of the ideas and lines in this book I lifted right out of someone’s talk or book without any credits. I can only thank and acknowledge many teachers and friends in dharma1* who have inspired me along the way. A great blessing of my life has been to have met and studied with a number of deeply enlightened and inspired beings—all wonderful manifestations of the teaching. With gratitude I name the main ones who have shared their hearts, wisdom and inspiration: Joshu Sasaki Roshi2**, Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, Soen Nakagawa Roshi, Robert Aitken Roshi, Maezumi Roshi, Kalu Rimpoche**, H.H. The Dalai Lama, Neem Keroli Baba, Ramdass, 1 *Dharma is one of the most commonly used words in Eastern Mysticism—both Hindu and Buddhist. It means truth, reality, teachings—the truths about life, the universe, the human heart, mind and spirit, which we can learn through the practice of meditation and/or some spiritual discipline. 2 **Roshi and Rimpoche, Japanese and Tibetan respectively, for teacher. 8 Many Ways, Middle Way, No Way Mother Krishna-bai, Jack Kornfield, Joko Beck, Steven Levine, Thich Nhat Hanh, GarySnyder, Shinzen Young and my parents, Nanny and Eli.

    Shodoka Formatted

    Shodoka - CHENG-TAO-KO – By Yung-chia Hsuan-chueh [Zhengdaoge] (C.); (J. Shodoka (J.); Song of Enlightenment - .English transl. copyright (c) 1991 by R. Aitken & the Diamond Sangha, Hawaii. There is the leisurely one, Walking the Tao, beyond philosophy, Not avoiding fantasy, not seeking truth. The real nature of ignorance is the Buddha-nature itself; The empty delusory body is the very body of the Dharma. When the Dharma body awakens completely, There is nothing at all. The source of our self-nature Is the Buddha of innocent truth. Mental and physical reactions come and go Like clouds in the empty sky; Greed, hatred, and ignorance appear and disappear Like bubbles on the surface of the sea. When we realize actuality, There is no distinction between mind and thing And the path to hell instantly vanishes. If this is a lie to fool the world, My tongue may be cut out forever. Once we awaken to the Tathagata-Zen, The six noble deeds and the ten thousand good actions Are already complete within us. 1 In our dream we see the six levels of illusion clearly; After we awaken the whole universe is empty. No bad fortune, no good fortune, no loss, no gain; Never seek such things in eternal serenity. For years the dusty mirror has gone uncleaned, Now let us polish it completely, once and for all. Who has no-thought? Who is not-born? If we are truly not-born, We are not un-born either. Ask a robot if this is not so. How can we realize ourselves By virtuous deeds or by seeking the Buddha? Release your hold on earth, water, fire, wind; Drink and eat as you wish in eternal serenity.

The first English commentary on the work was written by Charles Luk. The Song deals with the methods of and attitudes towards daily Zen practice. A central theme is the contrast between dharma-nature, or reality as it is, versus buddha-nature, or self-nature. It also emphasizes practice over sutra- study. ^ Yen, Sheng (2002), The sword of wisdom: commentaries on the song of enlightenment, Dharma Drum Publishing Corp, ISBN 978-1-55643-428-0. ^ Senzaki, Nyogen; McCandless, Ruth S.

Dusk. Palm trees and weakening sunshine. A pink sky. Camera pans and rests on a building, THE GOLD COAST, a dive gay bar, situated right on Santa Monica Blvd. Camera begins to zoom into doorway. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana starts to play. CUT TO: INT. THE GOLD COAST - NIGHT A typical gay bar scene. Darkened room, loud music, a moderate amount of flashing lights. Loud laughter and the occasional crack of the pool balls can be heard over the din. Various shots of the action: men playing pool, men at the bar drinking, guys along the wall chatting and/or looking standoff-ish. One final pan and the camera rests on RICHIE HAMILTON, a lanky, long-haired white male in his mid 20's. He’s standing along the wall, observing the crowd. It’s his usual tradition. Maybe spot a familiar face, maybe meet someone new, who knows. Richie tilts back his glass of bourbon for the last sip, drinks, then heads to the bar for another cocktail. Just as he crosses the doorway, he almost bumps into PRESTON, who’s entering the establishment. Preston, also in his mid 20's, is dark-haired, slightly rugged and drop dead gorgeous.

    The Ten Dream-Awakening Pictures

    Awakening on the Chan【Zen】Path ━━Ten Dream-awakening Pictures━━ 禪 道 夢 覺 ━ ( 十夢圖 ) ━ In Grateful Memory Of Venerable Mentor Chan Patriarch Sheng-Yen Author : Beishi Guohan (Old Teacher Tsao) Copyright © 2015 Cosmos Chan (Zen) Community 0 In the Lankavatara Sutra, it says: “When had I attained the great bodhi? When had I entered into the great nirvana (Mahaparinirvana) ? I neither said any word during that period, nor should have said, nor should say, nor should be saying.” After Sakyamuni had attained Buddhahood, the World-Honored One had been expounding Chan (Zen) Dharma and delivering sentient beings for forty-nine years. However, he proclaimed at the end that he had not preached any Dharma at all. Therefore, in transmitting the “Treasury of the True Dharma Eye,” the Second Patriarch Ananda offered up the following verse : Originally, the Dharma had been transmitted, and after transmission it was proclaimed to be “no Dharma.” All practitioners, who had already been accomplishing inner awakening, had truly realized no “no Dharma.” (Verses of Chan Patriarchs; Volume 1) Meanwhile, the “Chapter on Entry into the Dharma Gate of Non-Duality” of the Vimalakirti Nirdesa Sutra also says : “There are no words, no discourse, no demostration, no recognition, nor any need for questions and answers in any of the Dharma.” Each of these examples makes clear that the inconceivable and ineffable essence of Chan is “beyond the form of explanation, names or mental cognition.” Notwithstanding that the highest goal of “pointing directly at the moon with the finger” is “no moon and no finger” (“no Buddha and no sentient beings”), the moon representing “Chan or original nature” is beyond explanation, and the finger, which is “an expedient created to deliver sentient beings,” still can rely on language and words.
