  1. But I do look a bit like this:
  2. At least I don't look like this:
  3. Did you mean immortal or immoral?
  4. I agree about debate. But certainly with the Lamas to which I have a connection they a) hold more than one lineage (kagyu and sakhya) and b ) refuse steadfastly to break samaya through the root downfall of disparaging other dharmas. In fact it is very hard to get them to say anything bad about anyone.
  5. Ah ze good old days!
  6. Well I can agree with you there. Sorry you missed the Summer of Love though.
  7. "The three purposes of Buddhist debate are to defeat your own and others’ misconceptions, to establish your own correct view, and to clear away objections to your view." Love, happiness and peace ... wot! you hippy you Manjushri does carry a sword ... so there is a cutting edge to discriminating wisdom. I'm interested that you see this as violent. I think it is quite healthy to be able to carry an argument through ... and misconceptions should be challenged.
  8. Hmmm we could have a good debate on here if we all stick to our principles and try to be good.
  9. I didn't mention Quantum Field Theory did I?
  10. Nope real life Buddhism is not like this.
  11. I think I may be able to get by without it.
  12. only joking Gatito ... but can you explain the 'violence inherent in the author's apparent assumption'. I don't know what you mean by this. To me the problem with Buddhism on TBs is that nobody here understand Buddhist non-dualist thinking. They think they do but they don't. I don't believe in right or wrong when it comes to this subject ... but I do think its important for the arguments (in the proper philosophical sense) to be self consistent. Different schools have slightly different ways of expressing things and different emphasis. This then becomes the basis for petty disputes - when really we would be better looking for common ground. I'd include Advaita in this which although non-Buddhist of course is a great system which has helped/saved/enlightened many people. PS. I screwed up the gif so its seems to having second thoughts about beating his head.
  13. LOL love the gif.
  14. Because when he is here we get endless posts by him and when he's not here we get endless posts about him. This makes me jealous. Imagine if someone said Apech has been suspended!!! Everyone else : who? what? who cares?

    There is a serious point here somewhere ... I hope someone makes it.
  17. You wouldn't love the kind of crabs Marblehead has got.
  18. Its pronounced "Greatsagewhoisinheavenwhorshipfulmasteribowdowntothee" ...just in case anyone else was having the same problem.
  19. My collar is for preventing fleas. If you want me to scratch then that's a good punishment.
