The importance of Bodhichitta and compassion
RongzomFan replied to Jetsun's topic in Buddhist Discussion
There is a whole chapter, chapter 6, on Tsongkhapa's "Madhyamaka" in Center of the Sunlit Sky. -
The importance of Bodhichitta and compassion
RongzomFan replied to Jetsun's topic in Buddhist Discussion
Bodhicitta is the aspiration to achieve samyaksambuddhahood as fast as possible to benefit infinite sentient beings. The infinite aspiration makes the Sambhogakaya be infinite. That's my understanding from "internet Buddhist" Namdrol on the internet forum Esangha. -

I get 104 pages of search results for "bodhicitta" on Dharma Wheel, with 2069 matches. -
Good so you agree that Joe Fischer did indeed make a sweeping conclusion.

The term "internet Buddhists" is just typical Jetsun. This is like the time when said 'internet Buddhists' belittle the eight lower Nyingma yanas. While true, that's because that's the standard Nyingma view from the ancient times to Dudjom Rinpoche -

I think the onus is on him to prove that. -

This is just another incorrect statement like usual. -
Cat said "Joe Fisher came to no such premature sweeping 'conclusion'." That is the topic I'm addressing.

The book is filled with statements such as: "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."

This has been addressed many times. Muslims started and fueled the whole thing.

Lol Which book did you read? Did you read the last couple of chapters? Everyone views the book in the same way. Its a famous book.

I go with Harvard geneticists. There is no Aryan migration. India is the source of Aryans.

Joe Fisher came to the conclusion that such spirits are hungry ghosts i.e. trickster spirits. Read the last chapters of Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts.

I don't know about martial arts, but much of the culture of Asia comes from Andhra Pradesh.

People twist the studies. For example, one of the Harvard authors of the studies you cite says "Our paper basically discards Aryan theory." But internet people like you are smarter than Harvard geneticists.
-
"However, our earlier studies using mtDNA and Y-chromosome marker, suggests that the ANI are approximately forty-thousand year old. " - prominent genetics expert Aryan Migration Theory is bogus.

There are many types of Indians? I've travelled all throughout India, and they all look the same, act the same etc. And I'm Indian.

They would trace firmly back to South India. Mahayana developed in Andhra Pradesh, and then spread throughout Asia carrying along with it Ayurveda etc. Chakras, hatha yoga etc. are first mentioned in Mahayana

A lot. Just stick with Rongzom.

The western "path" is taking refuge in god, jesus etc. And there is a strong emphasis on summoning demons. This is the end goal of even the Abramelin operation if you were not aware.
