The 8 fold path of DJ

[Rint]

After reading the Buddhist bible i found something called the 8 foldpath. I'm going to teach my fellow DJs 6 of them. Buddhist usually use these laws to achieve enlightenment I want you to use them to achieve DJness

Samadhi - is developing mastery over one’s own mind

Right Effort - One must make an effort to always improve = You must always improve yourself and not doing so is a sin.

Right Mindfulness - Mental ability to see things for what they are clearly= You must always see things for what they are instead of what they appear to be this i find works on HBs cause they seem totally hot and acts all snotty, but she could be diffrent on the inside.

Right Concentration - Being aware of the present reality within oneself, without any negative emotions=This one speaks for itself. It's like the improvement post where you write down your bad traits and get rid of them, but you must do it without emotion.

Panna - is the wisdom which purifies the mind

Right Thoughts - Change in the pattern of thinking=Change the way you think till you achieve what you are seeking

Right Understanding - Understanding reality as it is, not just as it appears to be= Kinda like Right Mindfulness.

I really hope this helps you all. Rint over and out

A 15 yr old reading into Buddhism? and practicing? quite impressive. I'm not sure if this is everyones cup of tea. This advice seems a little deep, even for me. But good try .

Yea it is weird for a 15 year old to be studying Buddhism huh? I'm just reading anything i can that i think can help me improve who i am.

Lol, great effort there rint. I started reading buddhism when I was 16, so I don't really think its weird at all!

The thing is, it seems kinda...blesphemous to use the buddhist eightfold path for something like DJ-ing. Not because of religion, or holiness or respect for the buddha or anything (I'm not actually buddhist myself), but I would compare it to using a tank to kill a bunny. You can achieve so MUCH MORE with the original buddhist eightfold path.

Better quality of life, emotional mastery/control, all the DJ skills you'll ever need, happiness in general, etc.

I don't think people will really understand/appreciate the eightfold path after reading your post...maybe you should go more in depth into it, even if just applying it to DJ-ism.

G'luck! And its nice to know that people are actively studying and using buddhist "techniques" for everyday life.

hey man, keep evolving:rockon:

Thanx Fender. I really hope this helps people. I'm not trying to convert people cause i'm trying to turn the rules into something DJs can live by. Usually buddhist use it to reach enlightenment thats y i changed the details to make it more DJ

Rint,
The 8-fold path can be used to release the emotional attachment for desire of reaching enlightenment. Since enlightenment is not a state of being but a WAY of being, one cannot simply reach it, they must BE it. The same goes with BEing a DJ.

Rint,

You keep that up.


You're doing yourself an incredible favor. Not everyone here will appreciate the deepness, and that's just because many people aren't searching for true meaning and peace of mind.

Keep on doing your thing.

A few books you might enjoy.

"Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance"

"On the road"

"Crazy Wisdom"

"Big Sur"

"The Dharma Bums"

That stuff is all touched by buddhism and zen ideologies



And I will swear by this:

If you keep searching for meaning, and studying religion, culture, and metaphysical type stuff, you will find inner peace, strength, and motivation.

And so much more...


You will become a real man.
