  1. Anadi - Buddhism has flaws.

    Anadi hasn't reached anything. These neoadvaitins merely gain some insight into the conceptualizing mind. You either recognize the fourth time or you don't. There is no middle ground.
  2. Anadi - Buddhism has flaws.

    You don't understand Buddhism, so your refutations don't make sense. You are like Adi Shankara.
  3. Neoadvaita has its flaws

    Ramana Maharishi was a confusing guy. Self-inqury is just a muddled version of Chandrakirti's Madhyamakavatara.
  4. Anadi - Buddhism has flaws.

    A mere instant of having considered the Lama to be a human being is said to postpone spiritual attainment (siddhi) by years and months. -Dudjom Rinpoche seeing one’s teacher as an ordinary pandit, a sublime Arhat, a sublime Bodhisattva, a nirmanakaya Buddha, or even a sambhogakaya Buddha will not do: you have to see him as the dharmakaya Buddha. If you are able to do so and pray to him thus with unwavering devotion, the wisdom of realization can arise in your mind without your having to rely on any other factor as a path. -Khenpo Ngawang Pelzang (He has multiple pages emphasizing the same point)
  5. Search for an special type of meditation

    Yes, for example Muhammed got tricked by the "Deity" Allah, who is really a negative spirit.
  6. Search for an special type of meditation

    "Spirit guides" are really just trickster hungry ghosts. Read Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts which says: "No matter how I mulled over the range of possible explanations, I always returned to the premise that the voices and their distinct personalities were generated by mischievous, and possible malevolent, discarnates. " "But most of all I pondered the significance of the lying and manipulations channeled in the exalted name of guides and spiritual teachers and camouflaged as love, wisdom and solicitousness." "Every reference that I uncovered concerning earthbound spirits seemed to fit the channeling phenomenon at large......These earthbound spirits or, in Tibetan Buddhist phraseology, pretas or "hungry ghosts." are individuals whose minds, at the point of physical death, have been incapable of disentangling from desire." "....evolved nonphysical entities influence humanity telepathically, without speech.......The discarnate spirits who are making themselves available though channeling are united in their desperate need for love."
  7. Anadi - Buddhism has flaws.

    If you spend unnecessary time with the lama, there is danger of viewing the lama as an ordinary human.
  8. Anadi - Buddhism has flaws.

    I apologize for discussing Buddhism on the Buddhism subforum.
  9. Anadi - Buddhism has flaws.

    I guess you mean Shakyamuni. So forget about the Mahasiddhas, terma etc. What is your reference for this claim? Book and page number please.
  10. Lama Lar Short

    Wow martial arts and "cosmic chakras"! What a combination!
  11. Anadi - Buddhism has flaws.

    Teachings were given en masse even in pre-invansion Tibet. And you don't need to have a personal connection with the guru (other than the teachings of course) to view the guru as the dharmakaya Buddha. You are mixing up 2 different things. And if you are in everyday communication with your lama, how do you go away on long retreat like the Mahasiddhas, Milarepa, Kunzang Dechen Lingpa, Togden Shakya Shri and numerous others!?
  12. Anadi - Buddhism has flaws.

    I really have zero idea what you are talking about. Guru devotion is directly from Indian Vajrayana. How is that a corruption? Secondly, a personal connection has nothing to do with viewing the guru as a dharmakaya Buddha. Do you think the Dalai Lama knows everyone at those mass Kalachakra initiations?
  13. Neoadvaita has its flaws

    Don't slander real Indian Vedanta by lumping NeoAdvaita in.
  14. Anadi - Buddhism has flaws.

    I follow Vajrayana, founded by the Indian Mahasiddhas. The Indian Mahasiddhas are Buddhas in their own right. And terma is an ongoing revelation that is not corrupted. See this thread: http://thetaobums.com/topic/32153-mystical-buddhist-readings/
  15. Anadi - Buddhism has flaws.

    Vajrayana has precise systematic step by step methods. . Neoadvaita has no direct introduction, let alone a precise direct introduction. Its just a bunch of guys talking for 2+ hours on youtube.
  16. Anadi - Buddhism has flaws.

    Who say that?
  17. Anadi - Buddhism has flaws.

    I listened to parts of the video. Not only is his level of knowledge about Buddhism nil, he is crappy even by neoadvaita standards. He is 1 of thousands of neoadvaitins, all of whom who attack each other.
  18. Ali Sina is an Atheist and former Muslim. So these links are indeed valid: http://wikiislam.net/wiki/List_of_Killings_Ordered_or_Supported_by_Muhammad http://wikiislam.net/wiki/The_Genocide_of_Banu_Qurayza
  19. how to love someone unconditionally ?

    Understand sunyata / emptiness per Rongzom
  20. avaaz petition for Tibet

    China is obviously waiting to pull some crazy moves after the death of HH Dalai Lama. May that day be a long long time from now.
  21. avaaz petition for Tibet

    Chinese oppression is flaring up for some reason. More than usual.
  22. So the conclusion is that Buddha is not a prophet in Islam.
