Shanti A very well thought out and heartfelt post well expressed. My feeling is to agree completely with the meaning of what you have said, although I want to respond with the way you framed one aspect of it. But I am not wanting to discount anything you wrote. You say, " I get angry, upset and...

obvious errors in what you write, Shudra, e.g. Gautama was born to a family of Kshatriya not Brahmins as you say and Dzogchen is a blend of Bon and Buddhist teachings, NOT Taoist and Buddhist as you wrote.

allready mentioned and ignored, is the hard fact 'The Buddha is Dead'. Buddhism ceased to exist the moment Buddha died. Yes, the person known as the Buddha is dead. At least we agree on that! Buddhists / Buddhism is the name for those that practice what they understand the Buddha taught, so you can...

Actually, no. Shanti Bhavan unlike Shakti Bhavan (which is owned by a trust) is still rented from a rich arab son of a very rich family. He was a BK, and originally stayed there, but left Gyan and allowed the BKs to carry on using the place with minimal rent. He was Iranian. Not Arab - a Farsi. In ...

[to Filthy Shudra] Are you making jibes at me personally here, above? [when you wrote]"I'd be genuininely interested to read your suggestions (or anyone else's for that matter) for how a modern individual - like any of us - can utilise Buddhism and wisdom of other cultures ... without earning ...

I for one would find it useful if these Copy and Pastes from Murlis and classes were accompanied by an explanation why this particular section was posted ... what caught your eye? What meaning are you seeing here?

The topic is "Waking up To Reality". The quote is from "The Possessed" by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
If Stavrogin believes, he does not think he believes.

OK. Can I ask you one simple question and get a simple answer ... • Who knows more about Buddhism ... the Dalai Lama, a Tulku or you? In terms of "more" then obviously the Dalai Lama or any worthy Tulku but they don't know anything compared to me - about me. :D ... they could be invited t...

,Dear ex-l To ask for proof of efficacy of serious Buddhist practice before practicing it is not possible. How can you feel what I feel? The whole idea is to be clear about what you feel for yourself There is no specific feeling one SHOULD be feeling - just know what you are feeling first. In a Budd...
