Useless attempts by snowflakes and fake "Buddhists" to shut my voice

My personal Facebook account was reported and I received a restriction for 24 hours and then another one for three days. During this time that can be extended I can't post or comment. I also can’t go live for 30 days, and can’t advertise for 30 days. This happens because I dared to say that homosexuality is sexual misconduct according to the Buddhist teaching, and that Amidaji refuses to ordain priests that promote sexual misconduct. Here are some of my words (in the two print screens) and the articles  that were reported (click on them to read): Can LGBTQ people be born in the Pure Land?  and The definition of sexual misconduct according to the Buddhist teachings where I mentioned passages from Master Genshin, our 6th Jodo Shinshu Patriachal Master and Shakyamuni Buddha. I suggest people to carefully read those articles and if they are indeed honest seekers of truth they will realize that they are not at all hateful. The Dharma does not tell us what we want to hear, but what we must hear while in the same time accepting us as we are.  This is something that people who come to Buddhism to seek justification and to use it for their own worldly ideologies don't understand.

Perhaps those fake “Buddhists” and snowflakes who reported me don’t yet realize they can’t stop me from writing and posting as I can make many accounts and pages and continue to write in many forms and on various platforms, including on Facebook. I can share my texts with people in the chat, by email, website/s, etc. Somewhere, somehow, here or in another place you will hear about me and my statements against LGBTQ propaganda and against using the Jodo Shinshu Buddhist temples for justifying and institutionalizing homosexuality and other types of sexual misconduct.

It’s obvious that nobody can stop one who is really determined and convinced of the righteousness of his cause, especially when they constantly prove to me that my posts and articles really matter as they would not be so desperate to report me or complain about me if I was a nobody whose words have no impact. I know this may be too smart for them to realize but when they want to suppress my voice they actually help me grow and make even more people wanting to know what I have to say. The number of readers who have contacted me in the last years has grown and keeps growing so I am asking them: please continue with your stupidity, dear snowflakes. I am very grateful for your publicity. Please make more print screens from my twitter, Facebook, website, etc, and share them on as many places as possible. You are helping the Dharma truth spread! Your bitter tears and rage will draw more normal and ordinary people (who accept themselves as sinful and in need of salvation) to Amidaji and Amida Dharma while keeping all the sexual freaks, perverts and proponents of wrong views away.

Question: Can LGBTQ people be born in the Pure Land?

these proud gays are clearly not interested in salvation

 Question: Can LGBTQ people be born in the Pure       Land?

 My answer: First of all, I make a difference   between   gays & lesbians and LGBTQ activists. Not   all gays and lesbians or other category of people who   practice sexual misconduct are members of LGBTQ   organizations. Unfortunately, I see a tendency   nowadays to equate all gays, lesbians, etc with   LGBTQ, thus referring to them as “LGBTQ people”.   This might be a deliberate act to identify in the   public  eye this type of deranged organizations with   all gays, lesbians or other people who practice sexual   misconduct. However, there are many gays and   lesbians who keep their wrong sexuality in their   bedrooms and do not intend to force it on society and   religion. 

Those who practice sexual misconduct like gays, lesbians, etc ( I explained in this article what is sexual misconduct according to the Buddhist teaching), are saved by Amida Buddha and can be born in the Pure Land on the condition that they accept themselves as ignorant people filled with blind passions who entrust to Amida. These kind of gays and lesbians are sincerely interested in escaping samsara and are NOT using the Dharma or Amida Buddha to justify their sexual misconduct or impose it on religion and society. They are just sinful people like anybody else who are not capable (although some of them try) to have a correct sexuality and who entrust to Amida Buddha. To entrust to Amida Buddha as a person aware of his/her sinfulness leads to the Pure Land. To be aware of one’s sinfulness and incapacity to save oneself is an important element of faith (shinjin).

A response to fake Buddhist followers blinded by worldly ideologies

grow up and
don't be crysexual 😀

No matter what I say there is a category of people motivated by worldly ideologies who will always misinterpret my words. If I say that homosexuality is sexual misconduct and I prove that with passages from the sacred texts and then I say that the salvation of Amida Buddha is given freely to all, including homosexuals and all kinds of sinners, they will stop at the first part of the phrase, and accuse me of discrimination. They will refuse to read the second part about Amida's unconditional salvation. I am amazed at how brainwashed these people are! They seem to have the mind of five year old children when they get obsessed with something and no matter what you say to them, they will not pay attention to your words. 

However, let me try again. So, dear crybabies, to define sexual misconduct is NOT the same with condemning people! It’s just a definition. Please repeat after me – ITS JUST A DEFINITION.

You don't need to change the Buddhist morality when you are saved as you are

Whenever there is something my ego does not like in the Buddhist morality (I can honestly say that I am an animal possessed of myriads of blind passions and attachments) I don't try to change the teaching to make it more agreeable, but humbly recognize that I am incapable to follow it, ask for apology and bow down gratefully to Amida Buddha for saving me as I am.

The Nembutsu of faith and gratitude is the only answer when comparing my limited capacities with the Buddhist precepts and the example of virtuous Masters of the past.

It is extremely important to never change anything from the Dharma, not even as small as a  particle of dust. The Dharma is perfect even if our ego doesn’t find it agreeable and there is already a way out of samsara especially made for such wretched people like us – the Primal Vow of Amida Buddha, so we don’t need to change anything to be accepted. 

The definition of sexual misconduct according to the Buddhist teaching

This is a fragment from the chapter on karma from my book The Four Profound Thoughts Which Turn the Mind Towards Amida Dharma. I post it again here as an answer to many questions related with sexual misconduct that were asked by my readers. Here you have a few passages from the sacred texts and explanations that will help you understand for example, many of my statements that refer to homosexuality as sexual misconduct. Please read it carefully. I am not presenting you with this teaching in order to condemn you, but to simply show the Dharmic truth on this matter. The chapter on karma from which this fragment is quoted first showed the karmic effects of such acts for those who rely on their own power (jiriki) while later explaining the indiscriminate salvation offered by Amida Buddha for the sinners who entrusted themselves to Him. So this fragment does NOT deny Amida's salvation but simply shows how karma works if we practice sexual misconduct and we do not accept Amida's helping hand. 

Some statements on family, couples and women

I state the following so that people in my Facebook list or readers of my website and books should know who I am as I have never been evasive in matters related to my convictions. If you find these convictions unbearable, you can delete me now from your contact list without any comment, as I do not want to hear any complaints later. There are many modern and progressive teachers out there in the Buddhist world where you can choose from.

When people ask me about family, couples or women related issues, they find that:

Question: are gay and lesbians welcomed in the dojo or temple?

I was asked this kind of question from time to time so I thought is good to give an answer here: 

All people without exception are welcomed in the dojo or temple if their reason for being there is to listen to Amida Dharma and receive shinjin (faith). This should be very well understood.

But if you come to the dojo and tell me „I am gay”, I will reply, „did I asked you something?” If you also come to the dojo and tell me, „I am heterosexual”, I will give you the same reply, „did I asked you something?”

If you come to the dojo or temple and start talking about your homosexuality or your heterosexuality, or you express it in any form (like for example using the temple as a place for courtship, etc), trying to use this Dharma place as a platform for sexual misconduct I will send you home. Why is this? Because the dojo or temple is not a place for such things. Its the same if you insist talking about politics or other religions. You simply go home. 

I do not care who you are in your personal life or with whom you make sex with. I do not preach theories on sexual orientations, but the unconditioned salvation of Amida Buddha. If you are interested in learning about it, then you are welcomed at the temple, if not, please don’t come.

Master Rennyo said in his letters that the goal of Nembutsu gatherings should be listening to Amida Dharma in order to receive shinjin. He didn’t mention any other reasons for coming to the dojo or temple so I myself refuse to talk on matters not related with the Shinshu Dharma nor allow any activities here which are not related with shinjin and birth in the Pure Land. 

All you need in order to be born in the Pure Land of Amida Buddha is shinjin (faith). This shinjin has no color and no sexual orientation. My duty as a priest is to help you receive it, so when I put my robes and kesa I leave everything else behind. Please also do the same and do not lose your time and mine with unimportant matters.
