Zen and Heinrich Himmler

 

The basic Zen message (liberation lies in losing one’s Self,

in immediately uniting with the primordial Void)

 as identical to utter military fidelity,to following orders immediately,and performing one’s duty without consideration for the Self andits interests.

#The standard antimilitaristic cliché about soldiers being drilled to attain a state of mindless subordination,and carry out orders like blind  puppets,is here asserted to be identical to Zen 

'bhagavad-Git'a'  Heinrich Himmler’s favorite book:it is reported that he always carried a copy in his uniform pocket
