Re: pilgrimage in Bodh Gaya
That reminds me of a story of someone travelling by road from Nepal to India. At first he didn't immediately notice any great change until a truck came along with two young boys hanging off the front - one was collecting the leaking water from the radiator in a can and then passing it up to the oth...

Re: what is the best way to deal with anxiety and fear in pu
yes. what is the best way to deal with anxiety and fear in public when you experience fear and aversion and anxiety in body and mind and you get disturbing reflections in your mind through deluded perception. Sometimes it can also be cool to just enjoy your symptoms. After all a bit of adrenaline i...

Re: Enlightenment and Insanity
What is the relationship if any between enlightenment and insanity? There is a quote that I often see floating around on the net on spiritual related forums by some psychiatrist that goes something like, "The schizophrenic and the mystic swim in the same sea, but whereas the schizophrenic sink...

Re: If samsara had a theme song...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twICykaRRvY Edit Maybe I should add a small explanation. I chose this one because to me it has beauty, attraction, happiness, hope, melancholy and disillusionment at the same time. "Samsara literally means "wandering-on." Many people think of it as the ...

Re: Trouble with meditation....
In my opinion, just lie down or sit on a bench like you were sleeping, so people don't get attracted to your extraordinary appearance, wear earphones like you were listening to something. If you must sit crosslegged you could hang a Do-not-disturb sign around your neck , use blinders/sunglasses and ...

Re: 3rd karmapa's aspiration of mahamudra prayer
It is fairly disturbing that you would go there :roll: Just making a point. Disturbing is the fact that there is even a single reference (to child pornography) out there on the internet. General reading of a text and practicing a text are two different things :shrug: You won't see me disagreeing th...

Re: Contemporary tertons of Eastern Tibet
As for this man 'Antonio Terrone' he and his wife are GREAT scholars, and true benefactors of our precious Ngagyur Nyingma. Both their Thesis should be read by all Nyingma practitioners and Sarah's by all women and Dudjom practitioners!!! Where can these theses be found? Links for Terrone's works a...

Re: Moksha
The English word "moxa" is a corruption from the Japanese mugusa for mugwort, the herb commonly used in "moxibustion." Actually, what the Lama did should not be called moxa or moxibustion. In Chinese medicine (which is where the word moxa originally comes from), cauterization an...

hi Norden The words sound similar, but they are different: it's MOXA, moxibustion, not moksha you witnessed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moxibustion" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; From the description of a book: http://www.shangshungpublications.org/2011/03/healing-with-fi...

Re: Icke: How to Free Your Mind
The problem with making unsubstantiated claims, or claims that cannot be verified by reason or evidence, is that it amounts to wrong speech. you mean like claims of termas being dug up after being buried by Guru Rinpoche, footprints left in stone of various buddhist saints (every monastery in Tibet...

I doubt there is any statistics about that. What I wrote is just a uneducated guess based on the people I have met. But my intention was just to note the existence of this population not argue about it's possible size. By 'guru' I meant personal teacher, that's what I think Daniel83 means too. Malc...
