This week we talk to Brad Warner about not being a jerk

Brad Warner is an ordained Zen teacher and author of the books There Is No God And He Is Always With You , Sit Down and Shut Up and Hardcore Zen. He’s also a writer for the Suicide Girls website, bass player for the hardcore punk rock group 0DFx (aka Zero Defex), star of the movies “Shoplifting From American Apparel” and “Zombie Bounty Hunter M.D.,” director of the film “Cleveland’s Screaming!” and former vice president of the US branch of the company founded by the man who created Godzilla.

His latest book is called: Don’t Be a Jerk: Other Practical Advice from Dogen, Japan’s Greatest Zen Master – A Radical but Reverent Paraphrasing of Dogen’s Treasury of the True Dharma Eye

In This Interview, Brad Warner and I Discuss…

  • The One You Feed parable
  • His book, Don’t Be a Jerk and Other Practical Advice from Dogen, Japan’s Greatest Zen Master
  • That we become the people we need to become
  • How a person can be a buddha one minute and a jackass the next
  • That once you realize what your “negative” urges are, they become less attractive for you to respond to
  • The answer to the question, “How do you strive to be a better person AND accept life exactly as it is?”
  • That the most intelligent course of action is the one that benefits everyone involved
  • How one of his teachers said that you need to hold an equal amount of faith and doubt
  • The idea that thoughts are just the secretions of your brain the same way your stomach acid are the secretion of your stomach
  • According to the Zen practice, there is nothing other than what exists right now
  • The powerful truth that Brad Warner states: “you can always improve your situation but you do so by facing it, not by running away”
  • The mistake that’s made when designating certain things as “self”
  • The role of nature as it relates to the dharma according to Dogen

    Plenty of fine reasons somebody would decide to work with a wifi wireless home security camera.
    An accelerometer sensor is built through which
    automatically rotates an individual interface established by the orientation on the phone, making it excellent for viewing videos.
    i – Pad is often a famous tablet series and currently,
    Apple had launched new generation from it, ipad air 2.

    In it, each from the video camera as well as person products really should be coupled towards the same local networking wi-fi.
    The online scams are more more likely to happen to those those who
    exchange their information online.
