Video Dedicated to Irma Robinson, " Self Proclaimed " African American Historian On Black In America Web Site

Absolutely Saint. Let all creations seek peace and not war. Thanks for the history lesson, too regarding Siddhartha. I had no idea how he became enlightened. It's really nice to know little facts of history like these. Keep educating my friend.

Shalom.

You're welcome Saint!

Nice "peaceful" message, something all ppl in this part of the world should heed on a 24/7 basis.

@ Mike,

Absolutely peace is what the world needs today. Too, much fighting and backstabbing going on in the world and here on this site. It never ceases to amaze me how much envy and fighting we have among ourselves as Black folk, because we don't know what it means to be at peace. May the Creator of the Universe help all mankind to be at peace with one another.

This is quite beautiful, Sister Jen.

@ Brother Steve,

Thanks for your comments and I do think you're right about this blog and video being beautiful. I hope that the Peace that it generates will come to BIA and also to the Planet.

Irma,

I pray for you that you have peace in your life, because it doesn't matter which demonination of Buddhisim as the message of this blog is Peace to the Planet for which you seem to be in direct opposition to. Are you sure you chanted today?

...Oops... I meant did you pray today? Peace to you. I speak peace to you and to your world. Take it easy and stop with the nonsense. Enjoy the blog.

@ Saint,

Don't bother ... Irma is on the war path today. She's Clearly not demonstrating the harmony and karma of the principles of Buddhism.

@ Saint,

It appears Irma the honoree is doing a good job of scarring her own tribute by herself. What's up with that? Sad, eh?

Not only sad, but ironic that someone who is always the authority on other people's religions can't allow people who are nonBuddhist to appreciate the religion. What a poor example Irma has displayed her on this blog of what her religion is for many people who may be visiting this site from around world. Shame on you Irma.

What I got from the video, all who seek will find.

@ Brother Steve,

God bless you. You got it!

... if one seeks peace, one finds peace.

See what I mean Saint?
...Jen unless you have more power taht the Pope then I am still Catholic so wich religion fo you mean I am disgracing???oops, but Jen, I must first say I am roman Catholic is that the faith you just joined...
See what I meant by someone who is always being an authority on other's religion... What is this?...

Can't a fellow African American get a brake here? Nope, not with Irma being here. She knows everything about everything. Seek peace Irma and you will find peace.

@ Irma,
Chill out. What's up with you? Stop fighting and seek peace.

@ Saint,

Thanks for the knowledge and the link! Educate, educate, educate!! (smiles)

@ Irma and Jen
I love you both dearly. Education, Peace, yes, and let's remember Unity.

@ Brother Steve,

I'm innocent. All I wanted to do was to shine the spotlight on Irma. The best thing I can do is agree to disagree with her, because we have never been unified on anything in paticular.

Thanks Brother Steve for trying to resolve this unintentional misunderstanding. I believe in peace and harmony. Hopefully Irma will agree to disagree so that this blog's purpose will do what it was meant to do.

@ Irma,

Let the blog do what it do. Speak peace to the Planet and You.

@ Saint,

Just continue to educate us. That's all anyone here can hope for. Irma has to learn that she's not the authority or final say. We all have a say. Thanks Young Brother.

Irma, it's so sad that you can't enjoy pineapple, I wish I could help.

@ Brother Steve,

? Pineapple? ((Lol))

Brother Steve,

I better go to sleep before I hurt myself with laughter! Too, funny... pineapple...

Sister Jen, I like nothing better then to laugh myself to sleep.

How is Harry anyway?

Well done jenFad, saint, steve and off course sweet irma ---- who sums up her Dr. of 'black' historical knowledge with;

"WE ALL SUFFER FROM THE OBSTICLES THAT COMES FROM; BIRTH, SICKNESS, OLD AGE AND DEATH."

sweet irma, BIRTH, SICKNESS, OLD AGE AND DEATH are NOT 'OBSTICLES'!

they are the parts of the beautiful MUDDY SWAMP that the Creator of Adaam(as) gave Life for THE FLOWER you love so

by the way saint, are the above 4 lines, English Transliteration of the Original Hindu Language, or oldeHebrew, oldeYahudi, or just olde?

@ Saint,

Irma is older and she is set in her ways. Don't mind her. As for Brother Rob, he's just pulling your legs... he knows that you bring great scholarship.

@ Brother Steve,

Laughter is such a good way to fall asleep indeed!

@ Brother Steve,
Harry is still being Harry... bothering people with his usual talking points and insulting people on purpose inorder to provoke a response out of them so that he can use it for his platform for his "profit" works and a land of Black people's own yada yada yada . Ha!

He called me stupid last week... and now I see that he's using this blog as a "jumpoff" to call us all dummies, but you probably already saw it. So to answer your question... nothing has changed with ole senile Harry.

@ Dianne,

I know that's right! Too, bad we didn't take this nugget of wisdom, eh?

Jen this is a very peacful message to our Sister Irma. I can't speak for her, but I believe that one thing she appreciates is a peaceful enviornment. Dont' be dismayed I know she is a person whom has much good will along with lots of wisdom. Wisdom loves peace. We all want to be better. God will help those who seek him and inside we become more dedicated to make peace as much as possible with everyone we associate. Keep showing peace and never cease in offering it. Blessings to you both.

@ Sister Diane,
[...as human beings still like the art of good conversation just the same ...]

Peace to you, too lovely lady! Yes, it's true that we all love "good conversation" aka a good argument, eh?

@ Miisrael,

I take it that you know something more about Irma that I do. Wisdom maybe, but I don't know whether I'd say Irma Robinson is " all that peaceful" as evidenced by the blog responses she gave, eh? I do know that you do attempt to see the best in everyone so I can understand where you are coming from sweet Miisrael.

@Jen...conversation needs only two things 1. a sender of the message...2. someone to receive sent message...

but, a LOGICAL dialogue / arguments requires something called, STEPPING INTO THE OTHER'S SHOES AAND THE VIEWPOINTS OF HOW THEY SEE WHAT IT IS CONTAINED WITHIN WHAT THEY SPEAK...

(OR EXACTLY WHAT MIISRAEL, DIANNE AND SO MANY OTHERS ON OUR SITES STRIVE SO HARD TO ACCOMPLISH) DOES AND WHY WITH DIALOGUE THERE CAN NEVER BE OPEN WAR FARE. (S-M-I-L-E)

...boy am "I"caught up in this educate!!!educate!!!educate!!!...fullyknowing no one can protect someone from being their own worst enemy...I am not going to say I am sorry about saying taht was my last comment on this post as I take full responsibility for it...along with always following my first instinct that told me to return to this post...and, Jake if I have been any help, I don't expect any thanks...after you decide to go 'read my bio" (smile)

BUT, IT IS PROBABLE THAT 'YOU HAVE GOT TO PUT A PICTURE" THING THAT COULD BE CAUSING THE BLOCK IN READING MY BIO...

@Jake, it is alright, because my deploma says University of Davis at Davis, Ca.lol...and, if anyone do as Harry did by doing this, he went back and read what is actually i nmy boi page on this site...which also has not changed... (rotfl) (smile)

Thank you Dianne and Bride...OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...there is not one of the 10 COmandments I will break, not on purpose...and, the best way "I" know how to practice this is to " TREAT OTHERS AS I WANT TO BE TREATED. (SMILE)

Mother Power rules...as in my grandmother was the person who led the at home Bible study. Set the rules and regulations, baked cookies and played games with all of us children when no other children were around. lol!!!(smile)

yES, jEN NOT THAT i DON'T CHANT ALL THE TIME, BUT THANKS FOR ASKING AS i CHANTED AT A LONG TIME FRIEND'S MEMORIAL TODAY.

IT IS SUCH A SHAME THAT YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS IS A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF THE CATHOLIC FAITH...ISN'T WHAT YOU HAVE TAKEN ON WHAT IS THE DUTY/ DISCRIPTION OF THE HOLY FATHER JEN...REMEMBER IN 69 YEARS I HAVE BEEN SAYING THE SAME PRAY AS YOU HAVE BEEN SAYING JEN, FO RHOW LONG???????????????!!! (SMILE)

EDUCATE!!!EDUCATE!!!EDUCATE!!! JEN DON'T ALLOW THE HOLY FATHER TO CATCH YOU SAYING THE CHRISTIAN THE LORD'S PRAYER..."k"???

Thisis my veryl ast comment so you and Jake can go find someting else to scratch each others backs on...

@Jake as your 4 Nobles did not look like the ones I ofered why in the world would I have to say you went and did anything. It does not matter if a writting is in the same language or in another language if is says the total opposit or don't even talk about the same subjects then it does not matter if it is the original or not the original...your 4 nt and mine were nothing even similar or for the same purpose was it used...I have no reason to call night, day although it is day/ night some place on earth at all times and tis is exactly what I said to you on this 4 nt issue! (smile)

in the realworld tah tis. (smile)

Hi my brother rabbit great to see you....

Steve, in my NDB practice what you just said is what we call " MANY IN BODY, ONE IN MIND (BUT, WE PUT NO CONDITIONS ON IT AS EACH INDIVIDUAL IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CAUSES THEY MAKE AND THE EFFECT IT MAKES ON THEM AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT)

and , example, You have learned to respect me as someone who is open and honest and only wants tol lern as much as I can be it someting I like or don't like as it is all ablut stepping into the others shoews...I take it you agree with me, Steve, as I have never known you to have to change anything I have ever said to be able to agree or disagreee with me since we have known each other. (smile)...

now one thing that would make me happy...today there was some fresh pineapple that the members were enjoying so much...so could some one find a way to get me to like pineapple as it looks so good and even better watching people enjoy that beautiful plated dish of fruit today.lol (smile)

@Jen, if you find that a person thanking you for doing something they liked your doing...what part of peace does something does not represent to you? (smile)

But, then some don't have any idea what unconditional caring means...not does some know that people have their own powers and don't need others to do their thinnking, making their decisions for them...because they have been taught to believe they have no 'will' of their own...(smile)

...and, Jake I gave you the original Buddha's 4 Noble Truths of wich you were perfectly satisfied with so I gathered you went to where I sent you to go find it...it is not my 4 Noble truths and I have no reason to go find how someone else has changed it from its originals as you had to do...but again Jake that is on you. (smile)

@Jen, there you go with your illogical rational...I asked you a simple question and you go calling me a know it all...Jen, do you have an idea what the definifion of asking a simple question is for...I ask you #1 because unlike you I am not an expert on you Jen so I ask...mcuh like you were going to pray on my being hhappy without any idea what makes me happy or unhappy!!!(Smile)

Jen, like any religons the religions have split ups...which has left many versions of being catholic or just putting a specific before the word CAtholic!!!! ...

Thank you so very, very much Jen and it is on you not me for rejecting a reality like...being Black is an experiecne taht only Blacks can have therefore each and every member of the Black race (be they proud or ashamed) are BLACK EXPERTS ON OUR HISTORY AS TODAY IS HISTORY TOMORROW!

AND, THIS IS IN KEEPING WITH MY ALWAYS SAYING , EDUCATTE!!!EDUCATE!!!EDUCATE!!! BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.


@JEN, IN RELATIONSHIP TO YOUR ," THE HARDESTR THING ABOUT BEING BUDDHIST" IS TRYING TO GET THOSE WHO MAKE THESE OPEN ENDED STATEMENTS FROM A CLOSED MIND IS...

BECAUSE THERE ARE 142 DIFFERENT FORMS, IDENIFICATIONS OF 'BUDDHIST' IN AMERICA ALONE OF WHICH BUDDHIST DO YOU SPEAK? ...ONCE AGAIN, EDUCATE!!!EDUCATE!!!EDUCATE!!!BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY AS IT IS A ONE WAY PASS OUT OF BEING PREJUDICE (AS IN IGNORANT)...AND, AGAIN, JEN, THANKS FOR YET ONE MORE TEACHING MOMENTS BY YOU(S-M-I-L-E)

@JEN, ONE THING ABOUT THOSE WHO MUST HAVE A GOD COMPLEX IT IS ALMOST UNACCEPTABLE TO ACCEPT THE WORDS OF SIDDHARTHA DIRECTLY FROMHIM SUCH AS , ALL HUMANS AS MYSLEF ARE EQUAL BECAUSE WE ALL SUFFER FROM THE OBSTICLES THAT COMES FROM; BIRTH, SICKNESS, OLD AGE AND DEATH.

SO JEN IF YOU KNWE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PERSON FROM HIS OWN WRITTING YOU WOULD NEVER MAKE A STATEMENT LIKE YOU JUST MADE ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BUDDHA. BUT, AS "i" KEEP SAYING EDUCATION IS TH EONLY WAY OUT OF IGNORANCE AS IN THE NEED TO ABUSE ONE'S OWN RELIGION IN ORDER TO DISRESPECT ANOTHER PEERSON'S MORAL RIGHTS OF CHOICE...BUT AS THE ORIGINAL BUDDHA TAUGHT TINGS CHANGE EACH AND EVERY MOMENT...EVERY THING IS SOME HOW CONNECTED. (SMILE)

...OOPS ONE MORE EDUCATIONAL POINT IS THE FLOWER SYMBLE FOR THE ORIGINAL BUDDAH IS THE WHAT JEN? "I" WILL GIVE YOU A HINT. IT IS USED BECAUSE IT GROWS FROM A DIRTY, MUDDY SWAMP TO BE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER AND ON TOP OF THIS IT SEEDS AND FLOWERS AT THE SAME TIME...

WHICH REPRESENTS 'CAUSE' AND' EFFECT' WHICH REPRESENTS WHAT YOU DO IS GOING TO COME BACK, BE YOU LIKE IT OR NOT,AS FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN EQUAL REACTION...WHICH IS A FORM OF 'ENLIGHTMENT' AS IN IF IT DON'T MAKE YOU HAPPY, SECURE, SAFE THEN DON'T ALLOW IT INTO YOUR DAILY LIFE AS A PART OF YOUR SURVIVAL KIT...

COMMON SENSE DOES NOT NEED A GOD COMPLEX AS SURVIVAL (COMMON SENSE) IS A NATURAL INSTINCT!!!(SMILE)

@JAKE, WHAT IS MEANT BY EQUAL IN MY NDB IS WE ALL WANT TO LIFE AND TO BE HAPPY, SAFE AND SECURE AND TO TREAT ALL OTHERS AS WE WANT TO BE TREATED IS A FORM OF EQUALITY...

ANOTHER WAY TO SEE EQUALITY IS WE ARE ALL PART OF THE UNIVERSE AS SOMETHING THAT EXIST...NO IT HANS OTHING TO DO WITH ANY SOCIAL OR RELIGIOUS RULES...ONLY THT WE ALL HAVE A PURPOSE FOR BEING WHO AND WHERE WE ARE AT THAT TIME...

WE ARE ALL EQUAL IN WE LIVE AND WE DIE...

NO ONE KNOWS EVERYTHING SO WE SHOULD NEVER STOP TRYING TO LEARN..

AND, AS JEN SAYS IN IT IS BEING HARD TO BE A BUDDHIST HAS A LOT TO DO WHITH HAVING AND USING YOUR OWN UNLIMITED POWERS BECAUSE ALL COMES FROM INSIDE AS IN WE ALL HAVE A BRIAN, A BODY, WE BREATH AIR, WE EAT...NO IT HAS NOTHIGN TO DO WITH PREPERING FOR A GOOD DEATH, BUT HAVING A GOOD LIFE AND THIS WE DIFFER AS IS OUR RIGHTS...(SMILE)

@JAKE, OF WHICH bUDDHSIM DO YOU SPEAK ? (SMILE)

AND, JAKE YOU HAVE NEVER KNOWN ME TO SAY ANYONE HAS DISRESPECTED THE ORIGINAL BUDDAH...BUT YOU DO KNOW I ALWAYS SAY EVERYONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS AND THIS IS DO TO THE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT.(SMILE)

AND, PLEASE TRY TO LEARN TAHT EDUCATION AND MAKING UP ONE'S MIND FOR THEM ARE NOT THE SAME THINGS. (SMILE)

IF YOU ARE HAPPY DISRESPECING/ RESPECTING THEN THIS IS ON YOU NOT ONE ME...

@JEN, SO GOOD YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY, BUT THANKS ANY WAY BUT AS I NEVER PRAY IN A FORMOF BARGAINING OR PROMISING, MAKING DEALS, ECT. "I" RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU TO NOT BELIEVE YOU MUST LOWER YOUR FAITH/ RESPECTS FOR YOUR GOD THAT HE/ SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR THEM TO DO/ NOT TO DO...

IT IS MY JOB TO MAKE ME HAPPY, SAFE, SECURE AS i"I"HAVE UNLIMITED POWERS TO NOT ALLOW ANY OBSTICLE TO STAND IN MY WAY....SO AGAIN JEN, THANKS BUT NO THANKS. (SMILE)

@JEN & JAKE LETS SEE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE COUNTRY OF CANADA IN RELATIONSHIP TO MY BLOG I WILL SOON BE DOIN GON THEM FROM AN ARTICLE BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS...LIVE AND LEARN AS LIFE IS A PROCES OF EVER CHANGING SOCIAL RULES...AND, WHY I NEVER WASTE TIME OR ENERGY ON WHAT IS RIGHT TODAY AND WRONG TOMORROW...LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL (S-M-I-L-E)

Jake stop lying and you also Jen...

Jen unless you have more power taht the Pope then I am still Catholic so wich religion fo you mean I am disgracing???oops, but Jen, I must first say I am roman Catholic is that the faith you just joined...I always like to go on facts not emotions o fpeople who reject my saying I have respect for all people and as people come with their religions, I have respect for all religions and I don't believe in right or wrong, but balance...

but, again it is on you that must change what I say to fit your latest blogs, because the old ones are still there...(smile)


ND, FO RTHOSE WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT JAKE IS TALKING ABOUT HE GAVE HIS VERSION AND I GAVE THE ORIGINAL BUDDHA'S VERSION OF THE 4 NOBLE TRUTHS...SORT OF LIKE WHEN I MANETION TO JEN IF SHE WAS SAYING THE RIGHT OR THE WRONG VERSION OF 'THE LORD'S PRAYER'...IT IS NOT ME WHO SAYS IT IS WRONG OR RIGHT IT IS THE FATHIS THEMSELVES TAHT HAS DETERMINED THIS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL...ME, "I" STILL SAY '*****' AND NOT 'THE N WORD' (ROTFL) (SMILE)
