You can do wake induced lucid dreaming, but it won't be dream yoga. You can do yoga, but it won't be trul khor. You can recognize ma bcos shes pa skad cig ma like Zen people, but you won't be a Dzogchenpa.- 66 replies

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/5-injured-in-multiple-blasts-at-Mahabodhi-temple-in-Bodh-Gaya/articleshow/20951736.cms Looks like it was timed to coincide with the Dalai Lama's birthday. This is the most sacred site in all of Buddhism. -

its a good read -
You might be interested in this academic Krishna book, which I read recently: http://www.amazon.com/Krishna-Sourcebook-Edwin-F-Bryant/dp/0195148916

I know you don't agree with that. Its cool with me.

Of course they are highly interrelated. Basically it boils down to which deity you put at top of the food chain. Dudjom Rinpoche, as a Buddhist, of course states that Vishnu and Narayana will die: "Even such mighty beings as Brahma, Indra, Ishvara and Vishnu, great sages, and Narayana are not exempt from death."

Modern Hindutva simply wants to preserve a secular India against Islamic sharia.

You are simply a Hindu Hinduism is itself syncretic. One of the popular deities in Hinduism right now is a dead Muslim named Sai Baba. The first one....not the second guy with the puffed hair. Yeah, you are a Hindu.

Exactly. The holiest site in Buddhism was multiple bombed in a coordinated terrorist attack. You would think there would be more attention paid. -
The Skeptical "Buddhist"...Critical thinking & Buddhism..
RongzomFan replied to stefos's topic in Buddhist Discussion
But there are 5 P L, 5 Buddha families etc. These are all related. -
Dudjom Rinpoche makes reference to Vishnu, Narayana, Rahu, Ketu, the Kauravas, the Pandavas etc. in the book A Torch Lighting the Way to Freedom. As an Indian, I already know what this stuff is. So it helps a lot.

Westerners are threatened by Dharma, whether Buddhadharma or Hinduism. This is documented in "Breaking India" by Rajiv Malhotra. -

I did not notice this incident on the frontpage of any western media website. Maybe they feel guilty for misleading people against Buddhists? -
Anyone seen: "Yogis Of Tibet (2002)"
RongzomFan replied to DalTheJigsaw123's topic in General Discussion
Many mentions of Milarepa. Milarepa's main practice was the Cakrasamvara Tantra. -
This is probably the most authentic source of kundalini info I have come across: http://www.amazon.com/The-Khecarividya-Adinatha-Annotated-Translation/dp/0415586135

The Skeptical "Buddhist"...Critical thinking & Buddhism..
RongzomFan replied to stefos's topic in Buddhist Discussion
Not everyone is an Atiyoga practitioner. I don't know from what perspective Khenpo Ngawang Pelzang is recommending such practices. Maybe Anuyoga. Khenpo Ngawang Pelzang is indeed recommending practices in the vein of Pure Land Buddhism. Tertons experience all sorts of Pure Lands in their lives. Pure Lands, including Amitabha, are merely bardo experiences....not something external. -
