The Dark Side of the Mirror: Forgetting the Self in Dogen's Genjo Koan

Product Information

Brilliant, but Lazy: Fluttershy is genuinely talented and a good Manipulative Bitch, but never puts any more effort into anything than she needs to. Bystander Syndrome: Fluttershy's general philosophy. Captain Goodguy implies he used to have it as well, until it cost him somepony he genuinely cared for. He manages to shake her out of it. Dual Wielding: Thorax uses two large swords as his weapons that can be combined into a scissor weapon. Chrysalis duel wields shields during the final part of the fight. Chekhov's Gun: One from the previous story: the wild storm that Rainbow Crash accidentally caused in her chapter ends up hitting in the middle of Gilda and Spitfire's fight, cutting off Spitfire from running away while Gilda's still recovering.

I'm sorry for never realizing how unfairly you were treated. For never realizing that I accidentally ruined your chance trying to help others through their others...” the Alicorn replied. “And I want to make it up to you. Don't consider it helping...consider it...owing you something I haven't repaid for a very, very long time...Will you let me?” she asked, holding out a hoof to her. With the exception of the compelling first 15 minutes, "The Obscene Mirror" is a dreadfully boring and frustrating film. Franco reverts to his bad habit of inserting overlong (and very un-sexy) hardcore footage, which absolutely doesn't have any added value. During countless of times during the film, you'll find yourself staring at extreme close-ups of a vagina (probably Lina Romay's), and listening to the sounds of either monotonous moaning or jazzy musical tunes. I don't know which of the two was more irritating. Scootaloo is this as well. Her friends are a Spoiled Brat and a rebellious bad girl, but she has to be talked into doing anything wrong and genuinely enjoys being the hero of her show. While the lunar interior contains small amounts of water, the Moon has never undergone plate tectonics. Brazier makes this medieval Japanese text highly accessible to the modern reader – and to the student of Dōgen – by focusing on the text as a fundamental guide to Zen Buddhist practice. His interpretation also locates the text within the philosophy and teaching of Chinese Taoism, which enriches the meaning and also reflects the importance of Dōgen’s studies in China. Throughout Brazier masterfully simplifies Dōgen’s teaching and inspires us with its fundamental truths. – Ryugin Rita Cummings, San Francisco Zen Center

From horrifying science fiction to tragic reality

In a new documentary lifting the lid on the darker side of the bawdy comedy films, the late actress speaks out in an unseen 1998 interview about how many of the stars “didn’t earn a lot of money” as millionaire producer Peter Rogers cut costs. For years and years, I fanatically defended the work of writer/director Jess Franco, but with every film of his that I watch, I wonder why I ever bothered. Maybe I should accept the fact Franco only made a handful of influential and genuine exploitation classics ("The Awful Dr. Orloff", "The Diabolical Dr. Z", "Faceless"), whereas the vast majority of his excessively large repertoire is just utter garbage.

Mirror Chrysalis and the Changelings were born the exact same way as their prime counterparts: from a hideously mutated tree growing out of a dark magic pool. Now Mirror Chrysalis is one of the beloved protectors of the mirror Equestria and her people live in symbiosis with Equestria. I can do it in four: “Abandon self; accept reality.” Maybe three would have to be “Buddha, Dharma, Sangha”! Many people think that Zen is somehow different from or apart from the rest of Buddhism, or that it has no rituals, is just a practice, etc. This is a big misconception. Dōgen studied the Buddhist scriptures deeply and had a mystical vision of life, and in this vision the whole of what we think of as reality is encompassed, as well as dimensions that we modern people have lost touch with. If you had asked this question to Dōgen himself, he would probably have said “Accept yourlot.” Sherrie Hewson, 72, another former Corrie star, said she nearly froze filming Carry On Behind when she was forced to stand out in the snow in a bikini in 1975. The mission follows a failed effort nearly four years ago to land a rover on the lunar surface to conduct scientific experiments. After blasting off over a month ago, the Chandrayaan-3 mission performed several orbits of the Earth, increasing in size, until it entered lunar orbit on August 5. The two leaders are attending a summit of the Brics countries - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - in Johannesburg. Mr Ramaphosa said: "This for us, as the Brics family, is a momentous occasion and we rejoice with you."
