Re: Question about homosexuality & life's experience...
My devil's advocate answer was going to be that procreative sex can generate the possibility of creating more dharma practitioners, as well as facilitating precious human births. Taken to extremes, this idea that procreative sex facilitates precious human births wherein there exists the possibility...

Re: Ngakpa International - Vajrayana Training
No it does not.. There are plenty of "ngakpas" and "chodpas" roaming around Boudhnath, it doesn't mean much.. as Machik lapdron's prophecy says there will be people who wear the robes and have the implements of chodpas in the degenerate times but who are not real chodpas. There ...

Re: Ngakpa International - Vajrayana Training
It is not cyber bullying to ask a teacher for their credentials. Not in the slightest. Although I agree, I also wonder if it is necessarily a requirement for teachers to go around publicly advertising their gurus? I mean Sogyal advertised that he was jamyang khyentse chökyi lodrös disciple, did tha...

Re: Buddhism school
1) The teachings of the historical Buddha, in my point of view, are based on the observation of the phenomena of humanity, consciousness, nature manifestations, where they are illustrative and rich in parables and analogies. Logical in this sense, observable and evident in form and context; Buddhis...

Is Religion the Opium of the People? and other videos.
I really enjoy this Youtube channel. It is a channel dedicated to educating people on religion in a non-biased and thoughtful way. Although the author studies mainly abrahamic religions and the late classical era (good quality videos about them as well), he also posts videos about religion in genera...

Re: Dharma government?

Hi, everyone, Moreover, since there isn't a buddhist community near where I live (São Paulo, Brazil), I think this might be the closest thing to Sangha that I can experience nowadays.

So what is the logic behind auspicious and inauspicious hair cutting days? How many of you follow them?
