Dharma Wheel

Eight students of Reginald Ray, inspired by the revelations of abuse in Rigpa in the letter written by eight Rigpa students and in Shamabala by Buddhist Project Sunshine, have written an open letter revealing Reginald Ray’s abuse of students and the cult dynamics in his organisation, Dharma Ocean. h...

It is hard to judge, when one is not nearby.
The way you explain it sounds about right.

Don't worry too much!

I think HH is about right. You can talk about it however and howmuch you want, but in the end, being an attractive female would be much better on the relative level for a bodhisattva with the wide scope that a Dalai Lama has. It is really a bit absurd: the US seems to be a place where outer apperean...

The tibetans have a saying that when there is much dharma, there is also much mara.

In a post-ngöndro nyingma-saddhana, you usually do all nine yanas combined.

I'd recommend to use guggul (Commiphora wightii) on charcoal, like one does when doing sang, instead of using incense.

I don't want to comment on the current situation, but you should really take every photo shown nowadays with a grain of salt, to say the least.

First, I practiced in the Karma-Kagyü-Tradition. After 2 and half years I switched to the Nyingma-Tradition. Why I did this is not a story for the internet, but it was not because there is something wrong with the Kagyü-Tradition.

It seems the fact that Bosnia, Herzegovina and Albania are Muslim majority European nations, has bypassed all the ubermensch in this thread calling for European purity.

And?

The Dalai Lama spoke about refugees coming to Europe, not about the native population of two relativly small countries.

https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/government-economy/dalai-lama-says-europe-belongs-to-europeans Quite honestly, I have to agree with H.H. I am not super happy about it but I am starting to be afraid that their religion driven culture will prove to be incompatible with our European ones. What do you...

You are free. You can do whatever you want. Everyone else does. It's up to students to decide who is a qualified teacher. It is also up to teachers to decide who is a qualified student.

Impermenance is the very nature of all phenomena. Of course this does not change when we are in rigpa. Quite the opposite (as Magnus already said). Yeah, not quite. In dzogchen is totally different. Your primordially pure state is the nature of all dharmas. The Kunjed Gyalpo says:" I am the root of...

It was great to see Uruguay being successful again this year after so long out of the spotlight. But the other countries do need to raise their game.

Uruguay finished 4th in 2010 world cup, too.

Dharma sees our human bodies as wish fulfilling jewels.

Just to add: This is only true for Mahayana and Vajrayana. In Hinayana, the Body is also seen as dirty. There are even practices around this theme.

So what are your thoughts about today's final?

I guess France will win, because their style fits really well against the way Croatia is playing.

I think we need some change on the side of players. Germany has many players that won more or less everything there is (Özil, Müller, Hummels, Khedira, Kroos, Neuer...). They are just not that hungry any more (which I can totally understand). So if Löw and Bierhoff (who plays an important role, too)...

I think you need to look at your World Cup history again. Eight Nations have won the World Cup and England is among them. Once, yes. Uruguay has won it more. (Actually Uruguay was a serious team up to the 70s - it was good to see them do well this time.) The problem with England is their almost unl...

Amazing run by England. I thought they would of gotten knocked out in the earlier rounds. France will now defeat Croatia.

Croatia will win 3-1

Close. But not quite there

Inner peace is nice, but not sufficient.
Buddhism sounds more like a religion than a path.

The path is to realise wisdom and compassion.
