Buddha’s Lost Secrets:
Tips on Meditation & the Spiritual path #201
from your Buddhism expert



Hello boys and girls, and welcome to Torquemada
central; where we track fear mongers so we can be
real sure not to fall for their slippery devices.



This afternoon I was standing at the sink, enjoying
Smooth Jazz on the radio, while doing the dishes.
Then I heard it. A fear monger had actually shelled
out plenty of peanuts to have his commercial
professionally produced. He then shelled out even
more denero to buy plenty of air time, late in
the afternoon, when fatigue and stress had suitably
softened-up the listeners, thus lowering their
resistance to his fear oriented commercial.



Vince Lombardi is famous for saying,

“Fatigue makes Cowards of us All”

and he was correct. That’s right kids, those fear
mongers sure can be whiley!



Yeah, this fear monger was extra sneaky. First he
began the commercial with a guest, giving his
testimonial in a way that made it sound like a
hospital or an insurance commercial.



FIRST the guest began by saying that one day he felt
great, but was at a loss to explain his strong sense
of dizziness or how he lost his ability to keep his
balance; even when doing something as mundane as
simply attempting to walk across the room. At the
urging of his devoted wife, he agreed to be taken to
the hospital. After examining him, the Neurologist
on call declared that they had,

“caught it just in time,”

but that if he had waited, it could have been fatal.



At this point it felt like an announcer would come
on and encourage all the listeners to heed all
neurological symptoms. But instead the guest then
emotionally uttered,

“I could have died, and I just wasn’t prepared for that…”

Then the announcer, a card carrying fear monger,
said,

“Forever is too Long to be Wrong!”

Which of course inferred eternal damnation for any
and all who fail to believe what he believes or
practice how he practices. Then he said,

“So if you need answers or guidance or
anything at all then come on down to
‘my’ Church”

Hmmmm, so let me see if I’ve got this straight. FIRST
the fear monger scares me, THEN he invites me to run
into his arms? Why? So he can manipulate me even
further? Why would I do that? So he can tell me what
to believe, and what to do and what to think?


Guys, fear is pain, fear is suffering. How could we
possibly trust someone who’s ethics are so dodgy that
not only would they pull a bait and switch, but
they’d deliberately cause us to suffer in the name
of winning our souls. If someone is
enthusiastically willing to emotionally injure vast
numbers of radio listeners, late in the afternoon,
when they’re tired, stressed and vulnerable then
what will he do to his congregation, no less the
poor bastard who actually stumbles into his office
for a “counseling” appointment?


A very famous Jew once scolded,

“You travel over land and sea to
win a single convert, and when
he becomes one, you make him twice as
much a son of hell as you are.”

Let’s not fall prey to the sticky webs, spun by our
friendly, neighborhood fear monger. Whether you fear
Jewish-hell, Christian-hell, Taoist-hell,
Hindu-hell or Buddhist-hell…fear is suffering and

Suffering Sucks!

I know! I’ve squandered decades of this life by
allowing myself to by pulled by the puppet strings
of the fear of hell. Listen, insuring a safe,
wonderful, auspicious rebirth is easy. That is why
I teach the Karmic Dynamo, so you can purify your
bad karma, so you can multiply your good karma, so
you can shed your selfish fear, so you can replace
it with something much better, so you can replace it
with devotion so you can add to it love, so you can
add to it bliss, so you can add to it peace so
