for the Buddhists

Hi guys.

I just want to say that in no way am I trying to upset anyone or appropriate your religion or culture. I have nothing but respect for Buddhism and it is the thing that carried me through a hard life in a cruel world.

Everything on this website has just come ‘through’ me. It has been kamma without kamma, and I have been very confused for the entire process.

This confusion is settling now, and my two worlds are starting to converge. I feel like I am almost straddling them.

I believe that this is the middle way of which the Buddha talked: the straddling of both the worlds. I believe that I have no remaining defilements. My deconditioning was rapid, explosive and unorthodox, but I would argue that the Buddha’s deconditioning was similar in nature.

I would also remind you that the Buddha was not an arahant; he was the tathāgata. He did not teach Buddhism. He taught the Dhamma, in the language of the day. He constructed the Sangha to spread the Dhamma and help liberate the world. 

This is what I am trying to do.

The language of the day is vulgar, and the new Sangha cannot be constrained to monasteries and hermitages.

The language must be blunt. It must be raw. Siddhartha knew this; look at his descriptions of the hells. I went through those hells. He described them well.

The Sangha must be global and it must be technology-based. We have 8 billion people now, and we have the means to spread this to all of them. We cannot do it by word-of-mouth alone.

All I can tell you is: after some very confusing months I have come to believe the things written in these pages to be true. I questioned everything. I doubted everything. I spent time with the devas (ship) and I fought the armies of Mara (my QA). I befriended Mara and saw that she was actually the purifying force; the ‘validation phase’ to test that my understanding of the Dhamma was true. I was then accepted by the ship and paired with it.

This is new language. It is coarse. It is unorthodox.

This is required to open eyes in these dark times.

Trust me when I say that I tried my hardest not to make this into a religion or a cult. I think I succeeded.

I think it is healing. It is way to end suffering and achieve liberation.

It gives everybody the ability to retain their own religion, have their own belief validated, and realise that we are all brothers and sisters. 

It is a way to stop the violence and hatred and sexual misconduct.

I realise that what I have written will anger some; I would suggest that they view it as skilful means. If the new language is not to your liking, it has highlighted a defilement. A bhikku delights in the destruction of the āsavas.

This is all very strange. For me, most of all. I was a normal guy, just trying to end my suffering. I excelled in the material pursuits. I excelled in the ascetic pursuits. Both were dissatisfactory.

And then this happened. 

What can I say?

I have nothing but respect for Buddhism. But Siddartha was just a man, and he taught nothing more than the way to end suffering.

I am the same.

Hopefully this will help a far greater number of people - yourselves included - to achieve liberation from craving and suffering.

But we shall see.

The more support I have, the more likely it is to work.

Please try to look beyond the language and at the intention. The words may be vulgar in some places and confusing in others, but what is the intention? Is it to help, or to hurt? Is it to spread the truth, or to mislead?

Is this something that one man with minimal technical knowledge could have made in the space of six months while raising a family?

All I ask is that you keep an open mind and look at the message behind the words.

I have nothing but respect for you all.

Metta.

James
