Awake

-Are you a God?
- they asked the Buddha.
- No.
- Are you an angel, then?
- No.
- A saint?
- No.
- Then what are you?
- I am AWAKE.

Om Mani Padme Hum

Matthew 25:40

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Matthew 7 1-6


1. Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4. Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5. Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Death Visits Ferguson, Missouri in the Guise of Darren Wilson


I'll keep this short as I've been told by commenters, as well as friends that I post too much about police brutality, the problem though isn't me, it's the increasing frequency of murder by cop. I deliberately had stopped posting on this subject but it keeps happening, it seems every day.
In the case of Michael Brown, the cop, of course, Darren Wilson claims that Brown was trying to take his gun and had "beat him up" in the attempt. But frankly, even if that's true, all it shows is that he was a coward who killed Brown out of pique or revenge, as Brown was unarmed, and no where near Wilson when murdered. 
If I, or anyone else without a badge, i.e. a cop, had been beaten up, allegedly, and then had shot his alleged attacker, emptying the gun a minute or so later, they'd have been locked away no question. So why hasn't Wilson? Or any one of the thousands of other perpetrators of murder by cop? Why is all they get the proverbial slap on the wrist, if they get anything at all, and then go on as though nothing ever happened, while their victims, and the families of their victims, don't get to go on at all?
End of lecture.

    I know I've posted about this before but here is an example of how the media fosters, encourages, and teaches that it's ok, even desirable for law enforcement, i.e. cops, to kill unarmed people. I'm sitting here watching an episode of the original Hawaii 5-0 and in one scene McGarret tries to take a big guy in for questioning, the big guy is unarmed and is carrying a chicken under his arm he knocks McGarret down and runs away, and as he runs Kono, whips out his gun and with an ugly look on his face starts to shoot the big guy in the back.

    Especially those that happen to be a color besides white.

    The question is, did Kono actually shoot him?
