A Message mainly to Californians from
the National Religious Campaign Against
Torture
This holiday weekend, we urge you to take a moment for California's
youth. One final hurdle remains for passage of Senate Bill 61, a bill to
limit the harmful practice of placing young people in solitary confinement
in California. Thanks to your support, S.B. 61 passed through the Senate
Appropriations Committee this past week, and the bill goes to the Senate
floor on Tuesday for a vote.
Your support is needed in this final push for passage! Please
take a moment this holiday weekend to express your support for S.B. 61
to your local Senator using the sample email we have prepared.

A reminder - while going through things here in Fort Worth and getting
the home ready to sell, scanning a ton of material from
Crooked Cucumber Archives backlog and
backing it up redundantly - to work with and process into shinning form on
cuke.com later. That next step will take time and can be done wherever
there's electricity nearby. Thanks Warren Lynn for focused, intelligent,
diligent work. A CCA gold star is awarded. - This note

Sutra Page started as a hub for posts of the last few days and

5-17-13 - Can't get today's post ready till later. Below is the material
gathered so far to work with. The subject is the Heart Sutra
Commentary by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi
IN THE PRAJNA PARAMITA SUTRA the most important point, of course, is the
idea of emptiness. Before we understand the idea of emptiness, everything
seems to exist substantially. But after we realize the emptiness of
things, everything becomes real—not substantial. When we realize that
everything we see is a part of emptiness, we can have no attachment to any
existence; we realize that everything is just a tentative form and color.
Thus we realize the true meaning of each tentative existence. When we
first hear that everything is a tentative existence, most of us are
disappointed; but this disappointment comes from a wrong view of man and
nature. It is because our way of observing things is deeply rooted in our
self-centered ideas that we are disappointed when we find everything has
only a tentative existence. But when we actually realize this truth, we
will have no suffering. -

Earlier post on Shunryu Suzuki's "translation" of the Heart Sutra.
Two links to the version Allen Ginsberg chanted:
