Re: Student Teacher Relationship in Modern Age
Regarding Judeo-Christian thinking--I grew up in the Worldwide Church of G-d (feel sorry for Bobby Fischer) and that thinking is hard to overcome especially if you were indoctrinated while young. (Cults never was a coyote but read some.) His Holiness, Garchen Rinpoche, FPMT and Jewel Heart seem to b...

Re: Prayers for Kyron Horman

I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but of all the web teachings I feel that the Gyalwang Drukpa's are right there at the top.

Re: Crazy peeps demanding your respect for nothin'
Seems like arguments, etc. between the different traditions were going on before Pabongka Rinpoche's time. Find common ground between different views and start there. But I wrote that because that is what I would do in that situation I think. No particular outcome was in mind just sit down and recit...

Re: Buddha Nature in Jodo Shinshu
The Tathagata pervades the countless worlds; it fills the hearts and minds of the ocean of all beings. Thus, plants, trees, and land all attain Buddhahood.

My answers are just ideas. Exploring an open heart.
I would carry a copy of Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand and just sit down and recite it.
