Yes of course, we don't need to be attached it, but the same can be to no being attached to it, it works both ways.

Like Buddhishism? Hey! I know! Buddhishism is the finger pointing to the moon, but never the moon. It's all about the ignorant stagnant finger, stupid! Duh!

Personally, I think it reflects it's fundamentalist origin.
Come. Follow me. And I will show you the wonders of....of....Buddhishism, a reasonable facsimile of the real thing, but not the real thing at all. Sort of like a shadow of the real thing. Buddhish. My favorite religion.

Buddhishts say: 'Every time you say the word 'Buddha', you should wash your mouth out with soap!'

Forget about what Buda say's, what do you think, we need to not put Buddha on a pedestal, we need to knock him off the pedestal to become who we truly are.

OMG! I had no idea! First they lure you in with false promises, and then...BANG! Before you know it, there you are, proselytizing and carrying on like a cheap, brazen carnie barker, spouting the company line left and right. It's an epidemic!
One thing escapes me though: what do you suppose their doctrine might be?

Cosmic Consciousness, obviously. A pretentious muddle of jargon buzz-words and metaphysical garbage.

There is nothing to refute, just a muddle of idiosyncratic beliefs and pronouncements with no substance, coherence or foundation.
I've provided some light relief in the next post, this will be sorely needed by the majority of contributors after this surreal journey down the rabbit hole.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Exactly. Like Brad Warner 's book title puts it, Sit Down and Shut Up !
Allowing distractions like beliefs, theories, and jargon buzz words to remain within an already jumping and chattering mind at the onset ...
It's a small wonder people go mad trying to figure things out and then consequently wonder why life isn't somehow any better once they think they got "it". *Grin*
It reminds me of that very first kensho occurring literally minutes after plopping the fanny down into that zafu, providing a notable and prominent first glimpse into the direct working nature of mind brought about by the subsequent acknowledgment that the untamed mind, " Happens to be quite noisy and deafening."
What do some people decide? Lets even shovel in more ideological and metaphysical crap and run like hell. ......
Dynamite clears minds.
BOOOOMMMM!!!!!
Ears ringing.... .........

Poetic exception aside...
Simply omit "Higher Conscious" and " of what is." (bolded)
And a slight correction noted (thus have I have heard)....
Of which Buddha Nature, not Buddha mind comes to the forefront. (Bolded)
Otherwise not a bad worded response. I like to think Roshi might say something like, "Close. Very close."
Budha is the son of the moon in Hinduishism. (Being a god of merchants, he's perfect for selling doctrines and merchandise at the CCC.)

Again as has already been made clear to you....your criticism only addresses the 'finger pointing at the moon'....not the moon... Are you saying that there is no underlying unity to the cosmos?
