Buddhist Manifesto

Glenn Wallis has the sharp post up during his blog entitled: "Buddhist Manifesto" (PDF).
Q. Who is Gotama?
Gotama, Wallis claims, is not the god though "an unsurpassed scientist of the real."
Q. What do you know?

The categories of being. These categories have been given in Gotamas imagining blueprint, the Anapanasati Sutta. The premise of which text is which being arises not in the abstract (as life or existence), though as sold phenomena in sold locations: the body, feelings, thoughts, and sensorium. This, then, is the Buddhist only at certain time of year table. Anything and all which arises in your life, says Gotama, arises as the thing-event in/on/with/through the eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. So, awakening is, in the first instance, awakening to precisely the inlet of these elements their function, weight, gravitational force, trajectory, flavor, content, duration, conditioning mechanisms, interrelations. The lab for questioning these thing-events (dharmas/dhammas) is the imagining room. The viewpoint is upright, solid, still, and silent. The lab is empty. Because none have been required, there have been no paraphernalia. Because none is required, there is zero remaining to the investigatory process.

A "Buddhist only at certain time of year table!"
The whole post is worth the close look.
