December 2005 12-30-05 - Cuke.com Silliest Award of 2005 - Big fines for exposed flesh and naughty words. Big to-do about Janet Jackson's breast with all the TV pundits saying "disgusting" when all it was was part of a body part only partly visible for a second. The music, however, was cause for alarm. CBS got a $550,000 fine for that! They fined Clear Channel $495,000 for Howard Stern saying something naughty. Those fines are very silly, especially when you have many other people advocating violence like Rush Limbaugh suggesting we should level Iraq because a Westerner got beheaded. That's like suggesting that we level New York because a foreigner gets killed there by a mugger (after it had been invaded and bombed to heck by the foreigner's country). And then there's Pat Robertson suggesting we assassinate Chavez in Venezuela, a democratically elected leader. No fines for that sort of thing. No fines for politicians or pundits who lie about important things resulting in mass death. Just fines for silly things. - DC
Also, Check out Recalling Chogyam Trungpa, with a chapter by Schneider (who is now working on a book about Philip Whalen).

See icon and comment from yesterday immediately below.
10-21-05 - I've been eagerly following the news these days. Go to this link to see a brief comment on Who Didn't Get it Wrong - it's gone. But I said lots of us got it right. Biggest demo I ever saw in SF not reported. Weapons inspectors etc. Millions know. It was obvious. DC posted on the excellent Huffington Post today - on Arianna's blog. And while you're at it, check out this other comment put on DC Misc which is from another post to a blog at Huffington Post. This one's in response to an item named Toward a Modern God. 10-16-05 - Go to Zen Aluminati Updates for info on the immanent hospitalization and vertebrae fusing of a character in the Zen realm, sort of a fellow-traveler and tech hipster (cuke.com's senior tech support), David Cohen, brother of Darlene. Sorry for the dearth of postings. I've been doing plumbing and painting long hours to pay some bills - and still working on the fundraising which let's hope produces results of a cuke.com kind. Maybe I'll share what I've been writing in that realm. I'd rather be putting stuff up here and interviewing people than doing actual work but that's what I get for putting money last and running up credit card bills. But the actual work is a gas. - DC 10-11-05 - Hoitsu Suzuki, Shunryu Suzuki's eldest son and heir to his temple in Japan, named tanto of Eiheiji. 10-08-05 - A while back a four page version of the Heart Sutra was put on cuke.com.

I'll get that in here in a jiff. - DC [see note on this entry] 8-20-05 - As a result of the Comments on a brief bio of Shunryu Suzuki, I realized that one of the many short-comings of this site is that there is no brief bio. So today I'm the putting the revised one from the above link in a new section called Shunryu Info which contains the brief bio and a chronology of Suzuki's life.
8-19-05 -
Sutra buffs take note! I am looking
for a story, in an old sutra I've been told, where Buddha goes somewhere,
maybe a monastery, and finds an old sick monk alone and unable to care for
himself. As I heard it, Buddha finds other monks there and asks them why
is the old monk not taken care of and them make some excuse then Buddha
tells them that they should care for the old monk, that that is their
practice. Does anyone have any idea where a story like this might be
found? Thanks, DC 8-17-05 - A letter from Eric Arnow in Thailand 8-16-05 - Check out Pseudo Dionysius the Areopagite, especially the Mystical Theology. Like it says here, he's like Christianity's Prajna Paramita. I totally love his new set of negations - it's not this, not that. The translation published by the Paulist Press is much more up to date, but this older one is on the Internet. Thanks to Jim Wilson of the delightful Many Rivers Books and Tea in Sebastopol for introducing me to Pseudo Dionysius. - DC 8-15-05 - Redid the page on Comments on a brief bio of Shunryu Suzuki and ran into Startling historical data concerning Shunryu Suzuki, the Green Dragon Society, and the Nazis mined from the Internet and all sorts of stuff about Zen as an evil cult.

Center. 8-06-05 - Imagining a World without Nuclear Weapons from Salon.com and The Nagasaki Story the Censors Killed. Originally LA Times-Washington Post. And on this 60th anniversary of Hiroshima, go to Helen Caldicott's site and bookmark it and be reminded of her contention that accidental war between the US and Russia is still the greatest threat to mankind and the only manmade one that truly threatens the species (a cuke.com Current Events link). 8-05-05 - Zen Aluminati update by DC on Ananda and ruminations about the need to enclose the work I do within an Alumni organization outside of the SFZC. 8-04-05 - Sabbatical Update #4 - Tassajara continued. 8-03-05 - Sabbatical Update #3 - Tassajara. 8-02-05 - Thanks to John Steiner for forwarding this article from the NY Times on the recent wedding of Elizabeth Baker, Zentatsu Richard's and Virginia's daughter. 8-01-05 - Sabbatical Update #2 - Hearst Castle - added a bit on the 3rd.

I must include it in my list of items for the product placement book I intend to write. Check out their excellent profile on SF City Search. Now back to my sabbatical. 6-04-05 - New Shunryu Suzuki lecture. May 5-23-05 Hate to break my vow, but here's a bit of info on how to donate to this site, the Cucumber Project, the Zen Aluminati, the work DC does and all which will mean - more interviews with folks form the Suzuki days, more ailing and aging Zennies visited and hopefully assisted, and much more - a quick note written at the suggestion of a loyal reader. 5-22-05 - the new Dharma Sangha web site for Zentatsu Richard Baker Roshi's group in America which is centered at Crestone Mt.

Junger's fascinating Samsara site. There's a lot more than Buddhism on it but here's the link to his site's section on Buddha Dharma and here's the page on Rev. Koshin Ogui. This site is well worth looking into. Check out the Buddha Dharma links (which are going, along with most of this note, on this site's woefully inadequate link page). There are many I didn't know of. And you may find other sections of his website of interest. Four instance, I'm putting his Cost of the War in Iraq counter and link on the Current Events page of this site. - DC 5-8-05 - Read a twelve part series on Shunryu Suzuki published soon after his death. 5-7-05 - John Tarrant's daughter, Seraphina Goldfarb-Tarrant, won 1st prize in KQED's Digital Storytelling Contest. See her 3 minute film. Now I know how to spell her name. I'd never seen it in print. The movie's great though the word "never" at the end in my mind translates into "not as often as I'd like." 5-6-05 - An invitation to friends of Lou Hartman. 5-5-5 - Five contributions on DC Misc 5-04-05 - Seven photographs of Shunryu Suzuki and more by Isago Isao Tanaka.

Another letter from Thailand. 4-28-05 - Unlike the first two contests which no one guessed correctly, three people have already guessed the answer to the 3rd contest though one of them stated it sort of weirdly. Of course I didn't tell them but just sent them Document 3702b, the Standard 3rd Contest Entry Acknowledgement. Let me throw out more clues, the fourth hints [which could be the title of a mystery novel. Maybe this is it.] A scary prognosticative email from Arnow. 4-27-05 - David Schneider comments on the tenken question. The third set of clues in the third contest. Look closely and win! DC Misc - Assorted Candy from readers and me - wild parrots and flowers, wombats and more.

[now there's a new one - only one Suzuki lecture at a time per ZC agreement] Gotta go visit Della at her Napa retirement home (see Zen Aluminati - Who) and when I get back I'll put Back from ten days in Texas on DC Misc and then add a new hint to exciting new contest #3. And there are so many other things I'd like to add so we'll see what I get around to. - DC 4-13-05 - Gotta run. See where I'm going and what I'm doing next in town and here on cuke.com. 4-10-05 - Hints to the answer for the new contest and emails regarding Lucent Technologies' and Spindrift's role in this conundrum. Dan Kaplan asks a question about dharma groups in Shunryu Suzuki's lineage. 4-09-05 - A question about the history of the tenken which at ZC is the person who takes attendance. 4-08-05 - Oh, I forgot - Happy Birthday Buddha! (and thanks to Barrie Mason for the email reminding me). Not everyone celebrates Buddha's birthday on April 8th but it's the Japanese day. Ah, how fondly I remember pouring sweet tea over the little statues of the baby Buddha in Japan and at Tassajara, Page Street, and Green Gulch. I'll be going to Genjoji for their celebration at one on Sunday. I can walk there over lovely hilly country roads. - DC Cuke.com is pleased and proud to announce A New Contest! This is the third one. And go to the new Contests Index to review the two prior contests. 4-07-05 - Emails with Dennis Marshall March 3-31-05 - More on the Brian Victoria Page, including a recent letter from him with good news about Zen at War.

Past apologies for delving into this lowly arena apply. If you are of another mind please send in your links or comments and they'll be added there as well. - DC
