Oh really? George Bush is dumb, ergo all Americans are dumb. Hitler, Mao, Stalin were mass murderes ergo all Germans, Chinese and Russians are mass murderers. Marion Jones used illegal drugs to enhance her abilities ergo all athletes use illegal drugs. Etc. etc. etc. Lamas are not necessarily monks.

I'm sorry Lin, but you just don't know what you're talking about. It's like if I started talking about how quantum physics is wrong since it doesn't correspond to my knowledge of Newtonian physics without ever actually studying quantum physics.

They were. This is just ridiculous, how can you first say you did some TBT and then say that those practice weren't even taught? I don't see what this is related to. So teachings appear in your mind to you?

Why? I don't know what kind of tantric practices you did but probably they weren't Tibetan. Generally TB tantra has very little do with sex. Very very few do sexual practice in TB as you already have to have quite a bit of realization to be even taught such practice, which probably rules everybody here out. It came from Oddiyana (or was that India, I forgot).

Well then there's not much point in talking about it further. Sure, so would I. If you mean morality, wisdom and meditation (sila, prajna, samadhi respectively), that is what Tibetan Buddhism follows. (edit: or in other words, the 8 fold path.)

I doubt you will, because as far as I understand, Rainbow body can't be attained by sutra practices. You would find it in tantras but I doubt you believe their authenticity. But anyway, I can put it this way, if you achieve Buddhahood you can achieve Rainbow body, if you don't achieve Buddhahood you can't achieve Rainbow body. Cool story, Patrick.

Sorry Lin, but here you are completely wrong. Rainbow body means Buddhahood. Most people who achieved it did so at the time of their death. I can only remember three who achieved it without going through the process of death and even so, it's not something you can showboat because most people can't see these bodies anyway. It doesn't mean though that you can't get enlightened without achieving it.

And yet Tibetan Buddhist achieve rainbow bodies to this day. Perhaps some taught wrong, doesn't mean everyone did.

Of course never mind that Mantra has asked not to buy stuff from that site because Max didn't give them permission to sell them...

Oh, right, sorry. I'm used to this term so I didn't even consider it. So what do you think has been changed?

Funny you say that, because until now, nobody even mentioned Tibetan Buddhism.

It's a bad translation then. In any case, Buddha did not say what is reborn, he dismissed it as a wrong question.

There is nothing there about your personality being reborn.

I believe Sean studied/practiced Mopai for a while.

You misunderstood me, I found it ironic because your conclusions are not something Buddhists would agree with.

The irony here is that you concluded those things from something a Buddhist Lama said.

Then Primordial Qigong may not be a good choice.

Well now, not everyone, and insane is not quite the right word. Immature, childish and stuff like that would be more appropriate maybe. Because despite some uhm issues (maybe not the best word) it's a nice place and often interesting. I think the bickering is in the minority but makes the most noise. Most often it's something related to Mopai and the like, which makes me wonder what kind of people are attracted to it... Well I think it's better to be here than watching porn, doing drugs and many other things. And you can even learn something sometimes. If nothing else it gives you a chance to practice patience. Kids being the key word. I don't know how Red Phoenix, Mao Shan 5 Element Standing, Golden Flower etc. look like. So yes, Max is holding secrets. But you can go and learn from him at a course which you have to pay for. You also have to pay for your training if you visit a martial arts school. And the teacher doesn't owe anything to you. Would you go to a MA school demaning to be taught this and that? You'd be laughed off. LOL that is funny.

I can't believe you guys. And I don't know whether to laugh or roll my eyes at you.

Ah thanks. But I won't watch the whole video now because I don't have time, that's why I asked if there's a way to download it. I'll let it play out and then do what you said.

Someone already posted this video before. Is there any way to download it? And any English translation? My Chinese isn't very good, to say the least. :lol:

M. Winn's Primordial Qigong AKA Tai Chi For Enlightenment is good for small spaces. But depends what you want out of it. It's a nice relaxing form.
