Re: One thing that kinda bothered me...

Hi, No apologies necessary, but thanks! It's not really a big deal, I was just kinda curious, and the mystery hadn't left my mind in the ensuing days so I dashed off that post inquiring as to what happened. Also, if I sound flippant up there, I apologize-- I'm just in kind of a weird mood today. To ...

One thing that kinda bothered me...

The other day in the general section of the Tibetan Buddhist forum, there was a multi-page thread about "Is this still a Buddhist Forum?" or something to that effect. Anyhow, I was reading it, went to take a nap, and when I had woken up from the nap and went back to look at the thread it a...

Re: Heart Advice by His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche

Such a great teaching! When I first read this I thought, "Wow, he really was like Guru Rinpoche." pemachophel, the following is obviously just my opinion, but I wonder if it's maybe not so healthy to live in expectation of "bad" things happening to one, one's worst fears in life ...

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu

Hi guys, Could someone please recap for me what ChNNR was saying at the end of today's webcast about the "Ah" sound and open and closed ways of voicing it? Also, this is sort of a goofy question, but does anyone know if he is left-handed? I noticed that he was gesturing and turning pages o...

Re: Bentinho Massaro - Is he there in a dzogchen sense?

how is it that we--and not you --are the "closed-minded, petty, intolerant, self-righteous, fundamentalists"? As a fairly casual visitor to the forums, I think such a characterization is actually not too far-off base as far as some of the posts here go. At times I find it fairly off-putti...

Re: Kalu Rinpoche shocking news!

The problem is suppression of the sexual energies. Thats a huge topic in itself, but its not just in Buddhism, its also a problem in Catholicism. Yeah, I'm not sure that any religious tradition has managed to deal with human sexuality in an entirely realistic or healthy manner. Consequently it's no...

Re: Why do Tulku/reincarnate realized masters

There are real negative spiritual forces in the world. To summarize we usually call them demons. These are not just anthropomorphic projections. Kirt Okay, but the question that response prompts in me is (and I can take this to a new thread if the moderators see fit), why are these demons or demoni...

Unseen Beings in Tibetan Buddhism

As long as we have a body we will have obscurations in some form. The higher tulkus mostly have difficulties from circumstances. Mostly this means that spiritual forces are trying to keep them from accomplishing what they need to. What does this mean? What are these "spiritual forces", an...
