Prerequisites for using a Tara mantra
Hi! Sorry if this has been asked before, I did a search but didn't come up with anything. I feel very drawn to the figure and stories of Tara. I like the idea of saying one of her mantras (Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha). I've started reading 'How to free your mind' by Thubten Chodron, and she instructs ...

Re: Starting a daily practice
Regarding mantras, I have been starting a simple metta (loving-kindness) practice . . . with my usual failure to focus/lack of discipline, but I am trying, and when I can settle to it I actually find it comes far more naturally to me than meditating. This is the guide I'm following: http://www.buddh...

Re: Buddhist Scholar Paul Williams Conversion to Catholicism
Uan, could you link any of the things you have been reading/watching on Milarepa? I was watching the documentary Yogis of Tibet and ran across this 3 parter on Milarepa. I'm not usually moved by these kind of things, and I already knew the life story of Milarepa, but for some reason, this had a pro...

Re: What is "meditation"?
Another: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLjelIPg3ys I am sorry to resurrect an old thread, I know how people hate that, but I stumbled on this and wanted to say "thank you, thank you, thank you". In that short video, I gained more insight than I can express. It is for reasons and informat...

Re: Two levels of compassion: is it possible?
MAKING A DIFFERENCE A friend was walking down a deserted Mexican beach at sunset. As he walked along, he began to see another man in the distance. As he grew nearer, he noticed that the local native kept leaning down, picking something up and throwing it out into the water. Time and again he kept h...

Hi!
Hi! Finally decided to introduce myself after lurking for a few weeks and sneaking in a little question thread :p So, um, I'm not actually a Buddhist, but reading and interested. Trying to goad my lazy/disorganised/unfocused self into doing meditation. I feel an affinity with metta practice so have ...
