I would agree with the psychiatrist... I mean just look at this:

 

This guy clearly needs to be interned, just look at his face, he smiles !

Who fucking smile nowadays HUH ???!!!

@Shin  yeah, sometimes folks need to lighten up a bit. Is it really all about grimly going around looking for faults 'out there'?  There's something to be said for investigating faulty beliefs within, and maybe then having a good laugh about that too

For all the mental masturbators, this is funny.

Zzenn´s channel is actually great.

What could be more Zen Devilish than a good distraction?

[snowleopard]

@cetus56   Yes, this tangent into the inevitably biased and petty search for 'what's wrong with everyone but maya-me'' does somehow seem counterproductive to the focus being on what's 'wrong' with the maya-me. But hey, I suppose that has its role to play as well ... Knock y'all selves out !

But while at it, for the record, here is the response from the cult leader ... http://www.bentinhomassaro.com/read/our-first-official-response-to-the-cult-accusations

@Outer  Out of curiosity, I just watched Leo's vid about 'zen devilry', and it surely was about cautioning against the devolving into a war of us-vs-them factions, as illustrated in the story about the Mount Hei monks who fell into that very trap. Surely the message was clear enough ... but apparently not ... sigh.

@Mighty Mouse  Sure, putting idolatry in perspective serves a function. Just saying, is that truly what that article was about? Was there no other agenda?  Gotta keep that in perspective too.

[snowleopard]

@Mighty Mouse  Yes, I see the point, and that was also the point I was getting at by saying 'Knock y'all selves out' ... Keeping in perspective that, as the King Crimson tune says, "I talk to the wind ... My words are all carried away" ... yada, yada, while being again reminded of the worn-out old Ramana quote I mentioned elsewhere today

I'm all for calling out fake guru's, god knows there's plenty of them out there.  But this article is incredibly bad.  One of his points was that he said "fuck you" once, but if you actually see the context he was clearly trying to make a point regarding the meaning of words and our minds projection over them.  The dude could be a total charlatan, but this article is clearly not an objective reporting of the facts.  It's a character assassination peice.  I have no affiliation with this "guru," nor do I care to even listen to his teachings.

If you suddenly learned about Leo being an asshole with women and abusing animals, would you stop watching his videos ?

Yes, there are many teachers out there.  If I found out that Leo had abused a woman or an animal I would stop watching his videos.  There is a lot of information out there and it can be found elsewhere.

It's like the vegans always say, "there are alternatives."

Discernment is an important spiritual tool.

Sure, and I used that discernment about the article in question, and found its agenda to be highly suspect. Again, I know little about BM, but if I wanted to know, it wouldn't be such a source.

Let me put a nail in this coffin.  You guys have been gossiping about this for too long and missing the issue.  The issue is -- THINK FOR YOURSELF!  YOU GOTTA BE YOUR OWN GURU EVENTUALLY IN THIS WORK!

@snowleopard I get a negative feeling in my gut from watching the video where he asks the viewer to stare into his eyes.

@Joseph Maynor Okay, well sinse the nail is on the coffin on this one, let's all of us spend more time figuring out ways we can talk about the same thing. ?

Good, an opportunity to investigate that feeling, what is its real shadow source ? No need to worry about BM's shadow.

Everyone is trying their best, regardless of what they appear to be doing. Everyone has their own paths, eventually all will be lead to light so who cares?

Raise your own vibe and see through a higher perspective The higher you vibe the more clarity you see out of it.
