What happens at Pasadena Zen Sangha? This Los Angeles-based group is growing by adhering to two principles. One, keep it cool, laidback, liberal lowkey, everyday normal but, two, make it exotic. How is that achieved?
American Zen Buddhist Priest Seigaku Amato
It is led by a Japan-trained, fully ordained American Soto Zen Buddhist priest, who follows all of the customs and ritual procedures of a formal (zazen) group sitting practice -- including Rinzai traditions that rely on koans ("cases," paradoxical riddles) and other less common activities of most U.S. Zen centers.
We walk in to practice mindful awareness of the present moment and everything going on in the here and now. This present moment may not always be pleasant, but it is always tolerable when viewed from the dispassionate perspective of, "Then there's this." This point-of-view allows us to be the WATCHER rather than the usual, overly-involved "doer," "resister," or person taking it all very personally in accordance with the Three Poisons of passion, aversion, and delusion (greed, hatred/fear, ignorance).
South Park said it succinctly. CIA groomed Dictator Bibi Netanyahuis was not protecting Jews worldwide but endangering them. Most Jews (adherents of Judaism) are not Zionists (adherents of a once crackpot effort to take over the world, beginning with Zion, "the Greater Israel Project," an Ashkenazi imperial scheme in the Middle East spearheaded by the West -- the UK, CIA, USA, and EU -- to infiltrate the Muslim world and an oil-rich region of great geopolitical significance).

American Jews against Zionists, Bibi, and CIA
Dic. Bibi is ruining lives, reputations, and an ancient Semitic religion for his own greedy ends and to stay out of prison for corruption, aka high crimes and misdemeanors in office. That is why and how Israeli Zionists kill so many Jews. He needs this war on Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt, the Levant, and the region up to and eventually swallowing Afghanistan and Pakistan.
A "Jew" is not a Zionist, and it seems most Zionists are not really Jewish, just greedy secular JINOs (Jews in name only) using an old religion, an elitist race, European ethnicity, cultural identity to further their plans for centralized banking and military domination of large parts of the world.
Rothschild financial interests, Epstein/Maxwell/Mossad blackmail files, secular Jewish PR firms, mainstream media manipulation (with Oracle Emperor Larry "TikTok" Ellison, CBS News boss Bari Weiss, Palantir's Peter "The Reptile" Thiel, "aspirationally Jewish" Elon Musk), and an inattentive world are all useful advantages in bringing this about.
I may have molested kids under Jeffrey and Ghislaine video surveillance = Mossad blackmail.
Laurie Bag' and Susie Lee began a movement. Earlybirds Club, a party for women who want to dance and get to bed on time, is headed to Philly.
Many describe that party -- which ends at an appropriate 10:00 pm -- as a form of therapy and a rare chance to exhale and reconnect.

Going out to a club and dancing until 3:00 am is an early 20’ right of passage. For many women and queer folks, the ritual usually involves putting on a slightly too tight outfit, wearing heels that just may kill feet, drinking cheap alcohol without any regard for the next day’s hangover, and sleeping in well past noon.
But then the years pile on, and so do responsibilities -- as careers, partners, and kids get in the way. The time for such shenanigans tends to fall by the wayside. Still, shouldn’t those carefree, joy-filled nights of dancing stay on the table, no matter what our age?

Start bi, leave gay? Happy Pride Nights
That’s where Earlybirds Club is swooping in to fill the void. The concept, dreamed up 18 months ago in Chicago by friends Laura Baginski and Susie Lee, is a series of dance parties for GenX and Millennial women, lesbian, trans, and nonbinary people (LGBTQIA+), where drinking is optional, one can wear whatever one wants (orthopedic sneakers and fanny packs welcome), and leaving well before midnight is encouraged.
It's not lesbianism...Why does it need a label?
Already, the club has spread into multiple cities with sold-out tickets in Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Boston and Providence, Rhode Island.

(Mint Press News) The latest tranche (load) of Epstein Files has put a rather unlikely figure in the spotlight: the 14th Dalai Lama [Pope-King of Gelug sect Yellow Hat Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism].
Thank you, Man, you cool. - Oh, you got it, Dali!
The Tibetan religious [now no longer its king after China deposed him and chased him into exile in India] leader’s name is mentioned hundreds of times in the newly-released documents, with suggestions and allegations that the two [Dalai Lama and Epstein] maintained some kind of personal relationship.
A search for “Dalai Lama” elicits 156 results on the Department of Justice’s website [verify that here: justice.gov/epstein], with other similar queries, such as “Dali Lama” (because uneducated Epstein had notoriously poor spelling abilities) also prompting dozens of additional relevant results.
Jeff, I like boys to suck me. Can you arrange me little boys? - Yes, I can. - But secret, OK?
.
A prominent Epstein guest [biographer and journalist Michael Wolff?] recalls meeting the Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist teacher at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion, scene of many of his most serious child sex crimes [possibly also including forcing young boys to suck his tongue and/or other appendages for a little pederastic "boy play" with possible bacha bazi dancing just for giggles].
The Dalai Lama’s office (dalailama.com) has vehemently denied any connection between [known CIA asset] His Holiness the Dalai Lama to disgraced pedophile and suspected Israeli Mossad intelligence operative, blackmailer, fixer, network organizer, rapist, murderer, and torturer of children Jeffrey Epstein.
A serial networker, Jewish Jeffrey Epstein’s emails show that he worked hard to connect with the Dalai Lama, sending requests out to his web of contacts for an invitation.
Joichi Ito, head of MIT (the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Media Lab, helped him in his endeavors, noting that his close contact, Tenzin Priyadarshi was a Tibetan Buddhist monk, MIT’s Buddhist chaplain, and had a direct line to the Dalai Lama.
As he wrote: “Yes. First step would be to meet Tenzin [Gyatso, aka the 14th Dalai Lama]. His student who runs the Dalai Lama center and is now a Director’s Fellow at the Lab and going to start the ‘ethics initiative’ at the Media Lab. We’re working on some cool things like a meeting about cognitive machines and man. I think you’ll probably like him. He can get us the Dalai Lama.”
Epstein would go on to meet with [Tenzin] Priyadarshi and donate $50,000 to his Prajnopaya Institute, a[n ego-aggrandizing] Buddhist center he founded.
In 2019, Joichi Ito resigned in disgrace over his association with child molester, convicted pedophile, and child sex trafficker Epstein. Epstein was excited by the prospect of reeling the Dalai Lama into his personal network:
“I’m working on the dalai lama for dinner,” he emailed [molested Asian Mrs. Woody Allen] Soon Yi-Previn, wife of Woody Allen.
Another message from a redacted sender also hints at a closer relationship between Epstein and the Dalai Lama than previously known:
“Sorry for that didn’t check my email since yesterday morning. You know that I don’t have an Internet in my phone, why didn’t you call me or text me on my phone if you need me? About the event I told you almost a month ago on the island that Dalai Lama is coming and I want to go there to see him. But I can skip this event if you need my help today.”
It is not clear whether the reference to the “island” is [Pedophile Island aka] Little St. James, the infamous Caribbean [in the U.S. Virgin Islands] retreat where the billionaire [sex] trafficked and raped [molested] girls and women.
From the emails alone, it is unclear whether Epstein and the Dalai Lama ever met in person. However, Michael Wolff, journalist and Epstein associate [his hired personal biographer], stated multiple times that he personally saw him at Epstein’s Manhattan residence.
Wolff toldThe Daily Beast Podcast that Epstein’s gigantic apartment was “filled with people you might want to meet, from Bill Gates, to Peter Thiel, to [disgraced Jewish Harvard official] Larry Summers, [Israeli Prime Minister] Ehud Barak, [smelly Republican apparatchik and Trump yes-man] Steve Bannon, Noam Chomsky, the Dalai Lama.”
Host Joanna Coles interrupted Wolff, asking: “You met the Dalai Lama?”
“Yeah, the list goes on; the list is extraordinary,” he replied.
A shocked Coles asked him once again to clarify: “Did you actually meet the Dalai Lama at Jeffrey Epstein’s?” to which Wolff responded, “Yeah, indeed.” More
So who's lying, Michael Wolff or the Dalai Lama's PR (Public Relations) Office?
