Re: Death at Tibetan Buddhist meditation retreat in Arizona

The whole point of the mahayana is to help living beings, in relationships, in business Buddhist practice helps. A lot of people from all over the would say that GMR has really helped them.

Re: Death at Tibetan Buddhist meditation retreat in Arizona

Jkhendrup, I wasn't referring to you when I said you all can believe what you want. I appreciate you helping to bring this thread back to reality. Everything you said really needs to be addressed. And there is alot more then just those things too. But there is so much to get into and so many obstacl...

Re: Death at Tibetan Buddhist meditation retreat in Arizona

By the time I made my last post there were already two more posts. The dateline episode was pretty far off the mark and Ian's family was never around DM, any ways you all can believe what you want. I don't have to read the article and I'm not going to. The whole thing is really heart breaking and no...

Re: Death at Tibetan Buddhist meditation retreat in Arizona

Jkhendrup,
You have a lot of wisdom.
A lot of things, even now still break my heart.
I cried when I watched the dateline.

What you said has alot of truth but if that discussion is only worth having if it is had free of the make believe stories.

Re: Death at Tibetan Buddhist meditation retreat in Arizona

You cite these people who no one hardly even remembers who they are because they were never actually around and only came for a weekend or two and I doubt you even know them in real life! Get real Karma, your reputable sources are this website you listed, other websites like it, playboy, rolling sto...

Re: Death at Tibetan Buddhist meditation retreat in Arizona

Jkhendrup, I always like your posts on here.and almost everything you wrote is correct except for one thing. You said that Geshe Michael only returned to diamond mt at the end of the retreat. Actually he had come there shortly after Ian had passed and had returned several times before the retreat en...

Re: Death at Tibetan Buddhist meditation retreat in Arizona

Karma jinpa, I already know you weren't there! It's clear you are relying on reputable news outlets like playboy, rolling stone or dateline for your information. "especially in regards who I believe regarding the very different versions given about how McNally and Thorson came to leave the retr...

Re: Death at Tibetan Buddhist meditation retreat in Arizona

Karma jinpa wrote "spaces. For their sake, I hope that everyone who touched the dull medical instrument in giving their blood got tested afterwards... The first thing I thought of when reading that was that they could've been infected with any number of diseases that come from sharing blood or ...

Re: Death at Tibetan Buddhist meditation retreat in Arizona

Truth is stranger then fiction.
So far it seems like your the only person interested in what actually happens down there.

But.... someone being "led to their death" or getting aids off of a knife (or whatever that was about) makes for much more interesting reading!

Re: Death at Tibetan Buddhist meditation retreat in Arizona

It looks like karma jinpa must have watched the dateline episode and read some stuff on the web written by people who were there for a month or two. It's very clear and obvious to me that no one on this forum was there or has ANY idea at all what actually took place. That being said, the truth is st...
