Re: Attending Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche's Teachings
DKRs previous incarnation helped found the Rimé movement (non-sectarian). Participants of this movement are known to receive teachings and empowerments from all the schools while respecting the specific characteristics of each school (not melding it all together in one school). Dilgo Khyentse (his r...

Re: Giving Up Masturbation
Then, the Licchavi Vimalakīrti asked the crown prince Mañjuśrī, “Mañjuśrī, what is the ‘family of the tathāgatas’?” Mañjuśrī replied, “Noble sir, the family of the tathāgatas consists of all basic egoism; of ignorance and the thirst for existence; of lust, hate, and folly; of the four misapprehensi...

“The fire of gnosis will not burn without the fuel of afflictions” — Garab Dorje. Reminds me of this passage from the Vimalakirti Sutra Then, the Licchavi Vimalakīrti asked the crown prince Mañjuśrī, “Mañjuśrī, what is the ‘family of the tathāgatas’?” Mañjuśrī replied, “Noble sir, the family of the...

Re: Giving Up Masturbation
There are plenty of modern female porn directors who dedicate themselves to making ethical porn. Like Malcolm said, not all porn is the same. Pornography is a cinematic art, and as such, actors might be abused and exploited, just like in any other cinematic industry. The standards of ethical treatm...

Re: Giving Up Masturbation
Struggling with it, because I believe it’s morally wrong, for the reasons I’ve given. So it hasn't harmed your life in anyway? Well, please explain to me, how the performance of sexual acts for an audience for the purposes of attracting either attention or money is *not* a violation of the precept ...

Re: Giving Up Masturbation
'Struggling with it' is precisely not being able to 'stop consuming it'. If anyone really has the strength of will just to walk away, or has no interest in it, then, for sure, it's not a problem for them. But if everyone were like that, then it would hardly exist, but as it is, it's probably the ve...

Re: Giving Up Masturbation
Well, obviously I'm in the wrong forum. I too struggle with porn, it draws me in, and I hate myself for doing it. Probably I'm too fraught with guilt to be able to benefit from the higher teachings which are obviously being disseminated here, so I guess I should sign out for a while. Sayonara. If y...

Re: Giving Up Masturbation
And also if traditional Buddhists speak up against liberal moral views, it doesn't necessarily go well for them. But reticence ought not to be taken as assent. Yes, those damn westerners always trying to project their views on sex on Indian religions... https://img3.stockfresh.com/files/d/dmitry_ru...

Re: Why choose Mahayana over Vajrayana?
Who actually practices Sutrayana, as understood by the Tibetan Buddhists? Those who do not follow tantric teachings and methods. Zennies, theravadins, purelanders, etc. Sutrayana, as understood in Tibetan Buddhism, exists only in Tibetan Buddhism, and as such, only Tibetan Buddhists could be sutray...

Re: What are the most minimalist or simplest forms or schools of Buddhism?
