Which basically means that you create positive karma by taking/keeping vows which then continues. But the vows themselves don't continue. If it were so, there would be many many vow/samaya breakers, and if by any chance they don't practice Mahayana and/or Vajrayana in that life they inevitably will fall into the hell realms in their next life. And if these things continued there would be no need for renewal or for receiving empowerment again.

So, in other words, they don't continue in next lives without retaking them.

Well according to Tibetan Buddhism vows end at death, they don't transfer to next life. Though there is negative karma if you were breaking them. Hence you aren't fucked by your vows from past life but by you breaking them in your past life. Well according to Tibetan Buddhism vows end at death, they don't transfer to next life.

Oh crap now I'm going to have to take a look at this shit after reading these reviews. I wish I never looked into this topic.

Maybe so, but it still has absolutely zero relevance. I find it incredible that someone would even bring it up as an argument. Samaya doesn't care if you believe in it or not if you've received it.

Ancestors are irrelevant in regards to this. And your 2nd statement makes no sense for you to be saying it now...

LOL, more "insight"... Stop pretending to be a teacher when you're not. You are hurting yourself and possibly others if they follow by your example.

Interesting, thanks.

I don't see your point.

No, you are an aspiring Boddhisattva, as are all Mahayana Buddhists. Taking a vow does not make one a Boddhisattva, it sure would be great though. This recognition has not been verified by anyone. So we indeed can take only your word for it. And actually the only inquiry on this matter came back negative... Being a good person does not mean one is a Boddhisattva. Hilarious hahahaha. Good way to practice patience no doubt.

They are not our thoughts and beliefs but facts.

LOL, what insults? I have actually been pretty nice, for me anyway, maybe it's something I ate today, I don't know.

You can understand how a TV works too, but if you're blind it's not much use to you. It's not a matter of research, but a matter of a teacher explaining it to you, which obviously you didn't receive. You are simply showing more of your ignorance here.

Yes like I said, it's better to watch TV instead. Why don't you say that at the beginning?

Well I'm sorry but I don't agree. What is courteus is not lying and not spreading bad information. It's really not helpful to anyone. And I don't care whether you post in my topics or not, so have at it if you want. (but I rarely make any anyway)

ROFL... Don't bullshit me, you posted there. And you posted this on Yogani's forum as well. You could've at least changed your nick if you wanted to pretend something. No, thank you, you lost. Better luck next time maybe. I don't see what this has go to do with anything.

Sigh... Alwayson, please stop posting this around different forums, because you simply don't have a clue. Why don't you go post this kind of thing on E-sangha if you dare? Thogal without a teacher and completed preliminaries is worthless, you might as well spend that time to watch TV. In fact, that would probably be much better.

He's a fraud. His books are fiction.

LOL I missed that. You can't decrease negative karma with donations and stuff, but you can increase positive karma (which doesn't mean negative just goes away). Though maybe it's good business to say that you can.

This post is killing me.

Starjumper, what is in your avatar?

I wish.

What's DYI?

There is something a little similar in "Qigong Empowerment" and possibly elsewhere (I think Mantak Chia's books), but that's where I remember it from right now. There it's for opening ming men, dorsal gate and jade pillow gate. You inhale into the point and exhale to the navel.

ROFL. You could be wrong though, maybe they got blind from sungazing and can't see this poll.
