Re: Euthanizing pets...
I think this is the worst part. I just wanted to help someone who was in a horrible situation. And now I have to decide if they live or die?!?! I did not sign up for that.

Re: Euthanizing pets...
On the other hand, I cannot imagine that it is possible to avoid hell by letting a pet suffer very long. The precept "not killing' will be fulfilled, but it's quite a deed without compassion. It's just following a rule without considering the circumstances. How ethical is that? Aren’t we all s...

Re: restricted texts
If you, for instance, have received transmission and instructions for trekchod, is it OK to read other trekchod texts, or does one need lung for every text?

Re: Morality of stockholding
The OP. Because it was posted in the Dzogchen forum it is tempting to assume that Inge was making a particular case vis a vis Dzogchen. But the point you make is valid. Being a Vajrayana practitioner of any hue including Dzogchen does not imply uniformity on all points of ethical behaviour or in po...

Re: Morality of stockholding
To be more specific - do I accumulate negative karma from owning shares in a company that generates a profit to shareholders? Regardless of the nature of the business of the company.

Re: Long term practice oppurtunity?
I am a college student in America currently practicing the Dudjom tersar ngondro. Beginning in the winter, I am planning on taking a leave of absence from school; I have no plans to return any time soon. For the time being, I would like to make Vajrayana practice the focus of my life. Does any one ...

Re: Bliss
How? Whenever I have a positive experience I grasp it as if my life depended upon it. I don't know how to not do that. What tends to work for me is to contemplate the empty nature of the phenomenon I am grasping at. FOR ME (Don't try this at home kiddies :smile: ). For you: You will have to ask you...

Re: Bliss
It is not a matter of "need" or "want", it is like saying there is no need for heat to be hot. Bliss is a quality of Buddha Nature, love it or lump it. I seem to remember that Malcolm said it is beneficial to be in the jhanas while doing the positions of Dzogchen....? When I ask...
