  1. Corrupt a Wish.

    That's right I always called him Dorje, as for letting go I still have to meet Segal Rinpoche and talk about the phurba of Padmasambhava, not to mention myself being the lineage master of some book...... Also debate is pretty much pointless for me. Not many westerners can actually do buddhist debate. Fargo North Dakota?
  2. Corrupt a Wish.

    Granted I wish that I had missed the day in class that Max attained union with the Tao. Can you smell what the rock is cooking? Max was pushing hands with John. I stood there watching and their shadows flickered in and out of reality... Then the whirlwind of envy Class pretty much ended but I had the sense of mind to remember to pay him with Tea Then the wall of wind..... (they don't talk about that part very often.....)
  3. Spontaneous Movement : Form and Formless

    Yaksha stirs the sea bottom. Red dragon settles in slumber. Lamb chases tail, caught in a whirlwind of envy. Tut Tut Held to task whilst in love of Ren. Sat in the pyramid while cupid became drunk! Still I love Ren Sah not much Sah alot Blank tablet would be nice, Then the trueman could read what he wants Sah a little more maybe it is just jibberish
  4. Pimping with the Way

    Sitting here Studying Ivy League economics and listening to the Wu-tang. The flow of harmony to the inner cities from the corners, The walk of the pimp inch by inch is doomed to success. Tha color of blood, the color of a dragon...... Wu tang ain't nothing to f**k with.
  5. Sith Alchemy

    The Sith rule of two "Two there should be; no more, no less. One to embody power, the other to crave it." Is there a hidden rule of three?
  6. Sith Alchemy

    I think that the key to unlocking the power lies with the janitor... Man, I need to put in for that transfer to the inner system!
  7. Hello, From the Colorado mountains.

    What part of the mountains are you from? I use to study in the Aspen valley.
  8. Sith Alchemy

    Singing is a activity of those that want to live in the light. I'm too busy following my passions to be bothered by singing. Thank you to those that answered this question.
  9. Hermits and Tibetan yogis

    I built a stupa with a woman that received a lot of relics from the yogi's in the movie "Yogi's of Tibet". It took a couple of months to do, and most of the dreams that I had while building it have been fulfilled.
  10. A Fundamental Buddhist Concept

    Fighting the Deamons. Yaksha is a fast deamon. But what is a fast Deamon? A person on a quick path that becomes enlightened to the uses of the darker side of things. Example: A soldier that gets to meet a king. The soldier doesn't agree with what the king has ordered his sovereign nation to do, and protests to the king in front of an assembly. The soldier is then forcable removed from the assembly, and turns to substances, lying, stealing, killing, and rape for a quick answer. This yaksha eventually has followers and attainments. There are many levels of this parable.
  11. A Fundamental Buddhist Concept

    The best thing to do is get a version of the sadhana and use it for a couple of years. Your own experience will answer your question. Also Chakrasamvara is the teaching on cyclic existence. The Old Mahasiddhi's understood the afflictions of cyclic existence, but it was Sakyamuni Buddha that created this teaching to bring about and end to samsara.
  12. How many Kunlun workshops?

    Boddhivistas? Do you mean bodhisattva? If I recall you stated that you started in Taos. As I type this the cafe is showing a wildlife program. In the program a fox is stealing a gosling from a pair of snow geese.
  13. Sifu Jenny Lamb

    Well that's helpful. Maybe I'll get to ask a question about a rainbow. As I sit in my office in Shambala I notice a beautiful bridge. Has the time come to move back to my mansion in the city of Kunlun?
  14. I practice KunLun

    In my last private conversation with Max he stated," Some disciples only get to see their master every twelve years." This was in Santa Fe where a few of us were training the moving forms that he creates. They are really quit useful for smoothing out transitions between different energetics. Taiji into Aikido, Gungfu into Yoga, Aikido into ..... What's the name of the book by the guy who travelled between Bruce Lee and O' sensei? That person has a very interesting seed of wisdom that I'd like to help grow.
  15. wild yogi in training joins the bums

    Well, there are some snake stylist out there. A mongoose would, of coarse, be appreciated. Is it one that has the ability to produce wish fulfilling jewels? I saw a jewel last year, it lasted for about a week. It happened when the riots in Tibet started and for me has a connection with the head of the Nyingma tradition. But be careful wish fulfilling jewels do come with some responsibility. Where are you with your tantra, completion or generation stage? Is your school open or a closed one.
  16. The last time I did push hands, I mean really did push hands, I was telling the lazy teacher that he didn't know how to run his shop. He countered by saying that I should get a hair cut and quit doing my darma practice. Now where he had his shop, is a salon for cutting hair and making young women look pretty. The lazy teacher is now going to India to learn some darma with an Ishvara. Is that too abstract? The mind can be quite a maze. Oh and I still have my long hair.
  17. Centered and hello

    I'm here to find some silver.... I like Guang ping taiji, a old friend studied with Kuo Lien Ying during the sixties and would always offer free lessons if we could touch our chin to our toe. I know some Buddhism, and am well versed. If you know any good Confucians I could use a laugh as well as a line.
  18. Centered and hello

    Hmmm. Read through some of the posts and have examined some of the practice pages. I find the connection that I have to still be present. I understand that some people here have a real strong understanding of their qi. The tighter the focus of the qi the better the results. The flame of desire, smaller, closer to an answer.
  19. SALT

    How about S.A.L.T.? Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty
  20. Cool forum

    1/3 race car mechanic? Currently I work at checker's auto parts. Learning some hubris and such. I enjoy the job because every one has a vehicle and I find that the freedom that it gives the modern person is a good common ground for understanding. I don't know too much yet, but the job is steady and everyone needs basic maintenance. Do you have a spare thermogenic battery that I could use?
  21. Centered and hello

    Daily servings and in ceremony when appropriate. I believe that I would walk around to the back of the house and grab a ocean and boat. Or maybe it's time to make a trip to Portland...... Most recently I have worked on creating correct understanding of stem cell research. It's mostly in the mind right now.
  22. Monastic Study Opportunities

    Have you tried talking with a member of the P.R.C.? Someone in the Government that has official powers with the monastic community.
