    WhiteyRocks: As a confirmed agnostict, I can dig it ... why pull Christianity through the mud and rag the religion that has so obviously helped him and countless others? You'll call a different tune on your own death bed, guaranteed.

    I don't get it, I don't get it, I just do not get it ... What is the damn attraction in kids! A beautiful consenting woman I understand but for f***'s sake, these are just kids!

    Fadamor: Not your best comment. They had to keep him alive to find out what went on in the war years. I thought that would have been obvious?

    Beat Takeshi sympathetic to Tojo? why doesn't this surprise me? Giorji Tokoro on foreign policy perhaps? That we take our history from Takeshi and his half-witted pals is pretty sad Perhaps Takeshi could iron out a few historical points with his squeak hammer, then with the other hand whack those in disagreement with his fan. This country's doomed to repeat the past I fear.

    Tojo's daughter is alive and very much a voice in the Japanese right-wing movement. Her belief is that daddy was a good egg, dealt a terrible travesty of justice and the victors make the rules. maybe so, but for the poster above to proffer that 'both were as bad as each other' shows idiocy of a special calibre even for a JT forum. The Imperial Japanese Army had a very special talent for cruelty in the form of burying live prisoners, bayoneting live prisoners, sticking decapitated heads on posts for sword practice and all manner of other sick perversions, so let's leave the 'each was as bad as the other' thing well alone as you're just showing us your silly side. Tojo was just another rightist, no different from the crew in the black truck screeching lunatic messages we see everyday. Good riddance ...

    Part of this problem for want of a better word, is that we in the West are too quick to elevate these people into positions they don't deserve. The Japanese on the other hand keep pretty much all buddhist priests at arms length. And rightly so, they have a lot of experience with them whereas we don't. Bottom line, Zen masters are just plain folk and often very ignorant about the West and this is particularly so with Tibetan lineages. I found them to be quite condescending to Westerners and touted their own country's history and culture as superior. Bollix ... Tibet was and still is a backward medieval theocracy.

    SKB41: You're obviously still fairly new at this, no disrespect intended. I (there is no I, right?) have done tons of sesshins and wasted hundreds upon hundreds of hours with early morning sittings and I say only this: get thee a life while you still can. Be spiritual rather than a zennist for it's there you'll most likely find real wisdom. But lastly, DO be a seeker as it's important but don't fall for the zen master thing as it's downright dangerous.

    The Zen masters (dubious word) were pretty much all having a sexual affair with a student or two, or three, or four. Some were alcoholics and all were unchallenged. The trick with this is this; if something either doesn't look or sound quite right, speak up. Think for yourself. Don't trust people just because they're advertising or letting themselves be advertised as 'masters' They're people, guys, ordinary joes just like you and me. The whole 'master' thing is the crux of the problem.

    And you could have added that the Zen school has a very dubious lineage, something they insist they are the direct inheritors from shakayamuni buddha of. The appeal is the 'mysticism' and the sought after "kenchos" which last a grand total of about a few hours. Plenty of people have these very same experiences watching sunsets or whatever. Let's think about the getting of wisdom, no little glimpses of enlightenment which absolutely nobody can agree on about what it is. Let's look for wisdom I say and forget this Zen business as it's largely fancy and far fetched story telling and the zazen doesn't really do much sorry to say.

    Zen has little to do with 'buddhism'. I use my eyes and observe practicioners. So pander yourself and practice as much as you want. If this is your religion, go for it but don't think for a minute that it's above criticism.

    "It's not mysticism and it's not religion" Baloney ... I did this for 20 years and it's very much a 'religion' in both the Soto and Rinzai traditions. My advice; don't believe a single word from these people as all they do is regurgitate the fancy talk they've read or heard about 'one mind' 'big mind' etc. Temples are full of foreign kids talking about this stuff and at the same time squabbling over who gets to light the candles etc. A total waste of good time and besides, it came from yoga which I now do and can see practical results in daily life without all the fancy quasi religious talk. Get a life people ...

    A Midas, whatever the idiot touches turns to gold. I fail to see the 'talent' in this individual? Kind of like the appeal of Jerry Lewis to the French. The difference being Lewis had some talent.

    There's every chance the driver of the train was twiddling with one too. Anyone here ever notice the number of kids/adults riding bicycles twiddling with a phone and with headphones on? They always seem to ride faster in that mode which is odd

    An old girlfriend many moons ago pulled this one me. Went on for years. Around 2:00 am a call, total silence then a click. How did I know it was her? The idiot had a wall-clock in the same room as her phone with a distinctive ticking sound. Ah memories ...

    An endemic problem and it goes on absolutely everywhere bt especially here. In this very office I'm working in now, there is a short spinster who missed the boat long ago (although in here case it's doubtful there was ever in fact any boat?) The targets are girls Ms. spinster doesn't like. Usually beautiful of course and the method is 'mokusatsu' . Meaning to kill someone with silence. An old Japanese chestnut and leaves no evidence, no marks. No doubt about it, it's a part of this culture.

    So it's endemic but particularly here. Perhaps we should look to the scandinavian models for Japan as they've got this more or less under control in schools I've read.

    I actually stopped to listen to a rant from these creeps on the anniversary of the Nagasaki bombing. It went something like this; "What cowards we Japanese were to take this! Where is our dignity! Fighting spirit! Why do we tolerate bad (sic) foreigners in our midst, playing with our pure Japanese girls!" On and on it went. The young Japanese girls passed by in dresses so tight and short they had to be born in them, all the while twiddling with their phones and oblivious. If you understand the rants they can be quite threatening, ugly.

    We're talking about a Japanese Dad's Army here. Grannies and kids poking at the sky in unison with broomsticks etc. If you or I had been in the same situation we'd have done the same thing. They were taught that foreigners would kill, rape and maim all Japanese, so to see them in the light of 'combatants' is a stretch I must say. The war ended with two terrible bombs and saved a hell of a lot of lives. Was it a good thing? Of course not ... But it did save a lot of people on both sides. One just wishes Japan would stop playing the 'victim' card in this part of modern history. If they do, perhaps we can all move on for it's high time.

    martinli92: Where on earth do you get your information from? To say that 'the entire Japanese population had sworn a holy war' is sheer fallacy. Do you in fact read? There were many people deeply opposed to the war but couldn't express an opinion for fear of bayoneting. Many of the military also had deep reservations about it, so for heaven's sake do 'read' more.
