Oushi,
You are cool my friend. Without you this forum is so boring (at least to me).
Maybe they are here to test your patience.

I only feel bad about triggering those negative emotions that manifest through their posts. That was never my intention.
Say what you think about me here.
Re: Who are the best teachers of non-duality?
The most prominent thing you can learn from this thread is not getting emotional responses when reading the answers to your postings.
So much adversity.

You shouldn't feel bad about other peoples incapacity to be mindful of their emotions. We are all learning here, except, of course, for Gwenn.oushi wrote:Maybe you are right.

garudha, non-duality = unification of mind/body
duality = separation of mind/body
non-duality is not unification of mind and body, that sounds more like Hatha yoga

Re: Who are the best teachers of non-duality?
I heard Garchen R. say that non-dual is like two fingers on the same hand. They may look like they are separate from each other, but they are still part of the same thing.

Except for me evidently. Here I am trying to troll my heart out with the "monism" heresy, and hardly anybody is biting. What an epic fail!Gwenn Dana wrote:Masters in provoking indeed.

Re: Who are the best teachers of non-duality?
That's how it works in Buddhism (especially Vajrayana). A dull, fuzzy, warm feeling is NOT what it's about. Once one recognises that all appearances are merely the luminous display of ones enlightened nature, then everything is a manifestation of liberation.Gwenn Dana wrote:Masters in provoking indeed.
