While Bankei lived among the other monks, he refused to chant the old sūtra-texts with them in Chinese. In 1652, at age 30, while meditating with the congregation, Bankei experienced irreversible enlightenment (Sanskrit: anuttara-samyak-sambodhi). Dōsha confirmed this the following day, announcing that Bankei had finally settled the Great Matter. The Master bestowed on Bankei the seal of recognition (inka-shōmei), but in classic “Crazy Wisdom” Zen style, Bankei seized it and tore it up—by this point he had no need of written authority. He also refused a senior position in the monastery, preferring to remain humbly working within the kitchen. Dōsha Chōgen made him the tenzo or temple cook.
I doubt Trump knew anything about these aircraft attacks, or even if his int services knew. Why would anybody tell them when they’d likely stop them, the British control the SBU and,,it’s the sort of madcap bs scheme my British govt would dream up. Watch ‘the dambusters’ about the bouncing bomb or find out about Churchills idea of aircraft carriers made of ice, etc, etc,,,
As for Israel since they were gifted Israel/Palestine I can only assume they’ve become the worlds mafia that is almost legal since they’re a U.N. recognised country. Another madcap bs idea by some Brit govt, no wonder Americans celebrate July 4th so much!
On a more positive note can I ask since you’re clearly passionate about growing veg do you know anything about growing hardwood trees? Namely teak and acacia since I have some plantations in west Africa and info is hard for me to find.
I have long studied growing food as a necessary skill for life,and finally started doing it in 2013, when we moved back to Texas, The reason I put garden pictures in is to normalize it and encourage people (subliminally),
Teak and Acacia will take a long timeto grow. They make wonderful wood for fine furniture, which people make in places like Thailand and Cambodia that we have visited. My friend Jim Channon (look him up) had bought a house from the Philippines that was handmade of teak, taken apart and sent to Hawaii with plans, and was a fine house.
Jim was the Army Colonel portrayed in "The Men Who Stare At Goats". Interesting dude.
Thanks for the interesting info about your friend, another knowledgeable interesting guy.
I bought my land down there while building a cement plant nearby as chief civil eng. so didn’t have a clue about hardwoods but it seems it was ideal land for it (and cheap! ) and not another palm oil plantation which I intended to do in cooperation with the Chinese who were the contractor for our factory. Anycase the guy from the ag ministry told me about Teaks and I was instantly dejected thinking of how long it would take to actually grow, but it’s been 10 years so when I ever get my export license, we’ll see,,,the way my own country’s gone and now Spain/ EU where I am now seems to be going I could relocate down there using the land for some other use or just live in peace away from all this western govt hysterics.
John moved to The Gambia a couple of years ago from France, which was literally robbing him, a long term resident there. "It's Africa", is a phrase parsed with great meaningful looks, and seems to mean that anything can happen and anybody can die.
The Gambia has more stable government than most, and doesn't have much against foreigners. Some English and French are spoken, and he has both.
tx junk food label bill is a trojan horse for a host of nasty nanny state garbage: "The bill also creates a Texas Nutrition Advisory Committee, increases physical education requirements in schools, requires schools and universities to develop courses in nutrition education, and requires health professionals to take continuing education courses in nutrition and metabolic health.The legislation also contains potential loopholes. According to The Texas Tribune, while the law would take effect on Jan. 1, 2027, it would apply only “to a food product label developed or copyrighted on or after” that date. Existing packaging could remain as is “for another decade."

You are so thoughtful and a great gardener. I hope to be so excellent at gardening someday. I keep going back to Bankei Yokaku as a ground for our living theater. https://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/bankei_zen_master.html

Thanks for the kind remarks, also.
The greatest show of all times is unraveling before our eyes.
The Elites are panicking and Imploding.
Because we altered the script.
Now we can see them eating themselves right before our eyes.
Whether it is Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
Or that pathetic third class Actor Zelinsky.
Or Keir Starmer Stalin.
I can smell their fear from far away.
All we have to do is stand afar and not engage... expose them as we do.
Don't believe the script... it is a show they play.
And don't fear the future for the future is ours to built.
We are the future.
They made a gamble with the Devil and the Game is rigged... so don't play it.
Only a fool plays a game he can't win.
Drive them insane by refusing to participate and refusing to believe their lies.
They cannot force us.
But they try.
The greatest Danger is the STARGATE Facility they built in Texas.
That must be destroyed.
There can be no other way.
If we allow them to finish this then you see a war Human against Robots that Humanity can't win.
That is what you should write about.
The Day Zelinsky dies is a good day.
But it is only one chapter.
We must rid ourselves of our panic driven insane leaders and recognize them for what they are.
Devils that drive this world into total destruction.
There is still time my friend.
Don't believe the Actors for this is a Devils Clown show.

The Texas legislature has never been trustworthy, and the Texas Tribune should generally be viewed with a jaundiced eye, as well.
Mass murdering criminal, LBJ was a talented politician in the Texas archetype, I am sorry to say.
I don't eat much junk food, but Doritos are very popular here.
yeah talk to billie sol estes...oh yeah you can't, he's dead
all those garden pics make me hungry. and not for doritos :)
Indeed. 9/11 was kinda like that, but huger.
