Re: Are we on the right track in learning Buddha

One Teaching There was once a young monk who studied assiduously every day, but he could not learn all of the scriptures and precepts. So he became distressed. He couldn‘t eat or sleep, and he grew weak and thin. Finally, he approached the Buddha. „Lord, please take back my robe. There are many tea...

Re: No Self, No Problem

Neither I had talk of TMingyur, it is the weapon to free others, the way to release one self without hurting neither one self nor others. It is a selfless weapon which heals and just cuts of the ego when it is lifted for a strike. It cost a lot of self-ego and that is why it cutes also the own self ...

Re: No Self, No Problem

Sometimes we can not develop the secret weapon, or sometimes others are not attracted by a weapon that is not seen. I guess that is the reason why simply weapons are so much effective than secret weapons. Recognition and acknowledgment seek for different as to win the whole battle. Is there a self t...

Dear Friends, In most south east Asian counties a kind of vajrayana was present, before Theravada was established. Like the rivers are flowing down the himalaya.
