NY state has all the good Vajrayana teachers, including a son of Dudjom Rinpoche.

What? Are you calling Hinduism Satanic?

Yeah I don't think you have anything decent in Portland going by the Wikipedia list.

jesus Christ oh forget it

Like what?

Hare Krishna temples are not real Hindu temples. Real Hindu temples have Brahmin priests.

Ok, as long as its not Hare Krishna, Sai Baba or Swaminarayan.

You are in America right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hindu_temples_in_the_United_States

Do they?

Did you go to a real Hindu temple yet?

How much of korea is Buddhist? Off to do internet research!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes, Simple_jack is the culprit

what does any of this have to do with the thread?

Then why are you constantly arguing for a Creator?

Garab Dorje and Shakyamuni are both emanations of Vajradhara.

no, they are not synonyms. Atman is just Sanskrit for identity, and is found in all indian philosophies including Buddhism.

I'll just engage in your tactics. Lie, get called a liar, report you to the mods.

You are a liar

QED Summary of Gatito debunk: 1. Gatito calls Dennis Waite a "recognised [sic] academic source" (WHICH IS A LIE) 2. Gatito cites Dennis Waite all over the forum, including his personal forum: http://thetaobums.com/topic/32791-neoadvaita/ 3. Dennis Waite endorses Greg Goode in the highest terms. "In modern times, it finds expression through teachers such as Greg Goode and Francis Lucille." "Greg goes on to say:" "As Greg Goode points out...." "As Greg Goode puts it:" "was recommended to me by Greg Goode" Quotes from Back to the Truth: 5000 years of Advaita by Dennis Waite 4. Gatito even cites Greg Goode directly: http://thetaobums.com/topic/32760-direct-path-advaita-resource/?p=500348 5. Greg Goode follows Madhyamaka 6. Gatito lies about debunking all of the above.

Rainbow body shrinking is a sign of NOT completing the path, before death. If you complete the path before death, like Kunzang Dechen Lingpa who spent over a decade in retreat just to get 3/4 of the way, nothing extraordinary will happen to your body. Tummo is not shamanistic. It is from the Indian tantric tradition.

Well you are a fellow Neoadvaitin.

This is bullshit. Seagal was recognized as a tulku, but never authorized to teach and was never trained as a lama.

Of course Dzogchen is tantra. Namdrol, whom you respect, used to call Dzogchen tantra all the time on Esangha. Pretty much every other post. Dzogchen is based on tantras, has esoteric anatomy, has empowerments etc. Now, ChNN and Bon use "tantra" to refer to the path of the 2 stages. In that context, Dzogchen is not tantra.

Ok good. Then we agree.
