Re: Texts that destroy ""scientific" materialism

Re: does non judgement transcend enlightenment?
Phenomena and yourself are not separable so you can not go directly to yourself the way you describing it. You need wisdom to penetrate the phenomena first. Even Hui Neng penetrate first phenomena first before attaining full realization.

In folk tradition around my countries we use to dip gems into 40-90% alcohol and leave it for couple month, then take a shot from time to time - works very good. I see, what are the benefits of pr...

Re: Illuminating Quotes by Malcolm Namdrol-la
How do you know it? It's like saying that after death will be haven. Is not changing anything in person experience of life besides beliefs which can be anything.There is no afterlife, just one long bardo that begins with delusion and ends with awakening.
can you explain more Malcom?
