    Gatito, you have to drop all your NeoAdvaitins, including John Levy, and just read the Upanishads.
  2. Point to a Zen master displaying rainbow body

  3. The Superiority of Tantra to Sutra

    RongzomFan replied to RongzomFan's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    Like I said, it depends if you are talking about a vehicle or a class of literature.
  4. 3 incalculable eons and 10 bhumis are not hearsay. They are standard sutra Mahayana.
  5. through the 10 bhumis
  6. No, Zen still requires 3 incalculable eons for samyaksambuddhahood.
  7. Yes they both recognize unfabricated presence. Zen practitioners do it by reading books Dzogchen practitioners have direct introduction and rushan.
  8. C T, I am going to put you on ignore. I don't find you knowledgeable about Buddhadharma in the least, despite your avatar picture. This is not a snap decision.
  9. What a judgment to make on Zen Buddhists. Its quite debatable whether Zen requires a teacher. Sutrayana systems don't require a teacher. Either way, the primary method of Zen is reading text.

    Asunthatneversets and Simple_Jack are free to follow the Eightfold Path.

    No, I linked to specific paragraph so that you can read the references and do your own independent research.

  12. RongzomFan replied to PimonratC's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    You guys don't understand Wikipedia.

  13. RongzomFan replied to PimonratC's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    That whole paragraph is unreferenced.
  14. Most Zen people don't have a teacher or rely on Koans
  15. No, its both.
  16. bump

    My Andhra people invented Mahayana in the first place. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahayana#Earliest_Mah.C4.81y.C4.81na_s.C5.ABtras

    More books which contrast Eightfold Path with the Bodhisattva Path: http://books.google.com/books?id=CIFzNjVEYVgC&pg=PA139&dq=prescriptions+to+follow+the+Eightfold+path+arhat+Bodhisattva&hl=en&sa=X&ei=0hH3UpuxCqrJygHY9oGoBA&ved=0CDkQuwUwAA#v=onepage&q=prescriptions%20to%20follow%20the%20Eightfold%20path%20arhat%20Bodhisattva&f=false http://books.google.com/books?id=pCHvfGyBtf4C&pg=PA52&dq=Eightfold+path+arahant+Bodhisattva&hl=en&sa=X&ei=8w_3UvPCF8K0yAGS64DoBA&ved=0CCsQuwUwADgU#v=onepage&q=Eightfold%20path%20arahant%20Bodhisattva&f=false

    I understand the Bodhisattva path and bodhicitta are distasteful to you 3bob. I get it.

  20. RongzomFan replied to PimonratC's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    Bodhisattva path and bodhicitta are not rocket science.

  21. RongzomFan replied to PimonratC's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    Not at all. Shravakayana lacks bodhicitta. Only Mahayana has bodhicitta

  22. RongzomFan replied to PimonratC's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    You are free to follow Eightfold Path. I follow Mahayana-Bodhisattva path, since I have the motivation to achieve samyaksambuddhahood so that I may benefit infinite sentient beings.

  23. RongzomFan replied to PimonratC's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    Eightfold Path doesn't "own" view and conduct.

  24. RongzomFan replied to PimonratC's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    Yes much of Dudjom Rinpoche's book talks about conduct. And?

  25. Mahayana Path

    RongzomFan posted a topic in Buddhist Discussion

    Mahayana Path is the Bodhisattva path.
