Re: Tibetan Calendar

At last! :jumping:
It works! All I had to do was going to allzip and disassociate the program from jar files. Then by simply clicking the icon it worked like a charm. :woohoo:
How could I miss such a simple step?... :zzz:

Re: What is a tantric teaching in Buddhism?

geez most people are happy when they learn that Tibetan Buddhism can include sex! IT makes them flock to it.. but you, you're bound by some weird protestant morality! LOL Most flock by the wrong reasons :lol: , but I agree with you. You know there are people who consider this: http://www.amnyitrulc...

Re: Tibetan Calendar

How do I run it, Kirt? When I click on it, it gives me the option to extract it with all allzip. :shrug:

Btw, my OS is Windows 7.

Re: What is a tantric teaching in Buddhism?

I found enough online that wasn't from The Shadow of the Dalai Lama which verified to me that the Kalachakra Tantra does teach the sexual aspects of Buddhist practice. And so I am leaving my teacher and going back to Zen. This just isn't my cup of tea, and so I am leaving this forum as well. I thin...

Re: Kunsangar South Retreat with Chogyal Namkhai Norbu

I'll take a soybean as an example. The soybean is a seed, this being the main cause. For the seed to germinate, it needs need water, soil, sunlight, air and son on. These are necessary secondary conditions. If these causes and conditions come together appropriately, the soybean can germinate, bloom,...

Re: Kunsangar South Retreat with Chogyal Namkhai Norbu

Did you experience any problem? The video froze for a while, but reloading the page fixed it. When the video really freezes, one can open audio at another tab and keep listening, while trying to reload the video page. I don't know if this was your problem, but when it happens that's how I usually so...

Re: Compassion for abusers..how?

I'll give you a practical hint from my personal experience, hopping it helps you. I too had my fair share of disappointments. We all had, I guess. It's related to that part of taking a step back and looking to the emotions, feelings and thoughts that arise in your mind. It's helpful to control the b...

Re: Compassion for abusers..how?

I've been through a lot of pain recently. The person whom I once cared for hurt me tremendously. I've spent the nights so angry, trouble mind, lost, confused, sorrowful. I'm sorry to hear about that. Dear friend, those emotions are natural when one gets seriously hurt. Unfortunately, there's no mag...

Re: Ordination

Some people acted shamefully against E-sangha and its team. Let bygones be bygones.
