In the Name of Enlightenment - Sexual Abuse by Sogyal Rinpoche
Kar3n replied to DalTheJigsaw123's topic in Buddhist Discussion
I am talking about him being in situations and settings with the women at all. He is the authority figure and has a duty to uphold the Dharma. If they were not taught correctly, they would not know, now would they? We know little to nothing about these women and their backgrounds. -

Your rhetoric is misguided and disgusting, Wells. Typical misogynistic, blame the victim, bullshit- Nope, no abuse of power here, no fiduciary responsibility whatsoever; it is all the women's fault for believing in tradition and lineage. -
Thanks for volunteering your time, rene. Lerner, it has been a pleasure "working" with you.

Personally, I do not cry much, but when I do I figure it is just a release of built up emotion or some obstruction clearing out, so I let it happen. Tears, for me, are cleansing. Is there something in what you are watching that you can relate to that stirs emotion? Can you say more about the force behind it you mention? Often times, meditation opens us up making us more sensitive to outside stimuli and will touch something in us we might not even be aware of on a conscious level. If it is not causing any problem for you, I'd say just let the tears flow and accept the release.

Pleasure seems to be an obstruction just like discomfort or pain

I like this simple practice when I get caught up. https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/40548-neutral-witness-preliminary-foundation-practice/ -
I use Chrome to access the site. Yes, @blue eyed snake that is how my mobile version is; it is very much like the full version with the exception of how the menu is set up.

There is no option in this version that I have seen. Sorry.

Anything can become an obstruction if we attach ourselves to it or grasp at it long enough.
