So you are complaining about something that didn't happen?

This conversation is in Buddhist Discussion as far as I can tell.

To be honest I can't remember what it was that I thought was not Buddhism. Generally I would refer to the four seals of dharma in deciding what is and is not Buddhist. Expressing an opinion is not authority - just that as this is an open forum I am free to express what I think I would suggest - anything else would be oppressive would it not?

I think you'll find it's Pseudobuddhist and not Psudobuddhist ... and yes, I liked Karen ... hell, I even liked Jonesboy ... because I'm stupidly well meaning probably

Good points I think. But I would repeat something. I think it is indisputable that at the time of the Buddha, also in medieval India (600 - 1300 AD) and in Tibet right through till 1950 women would have a second class status in society - and the forms of Buddhism practiced through those periods would reflect this. However, the Vajrayana specifically classed the denigration of women as a root downfall which many would suggest is some kind of more enlightened reform - but I would say is a reset to what the Buddha probably originally taught. Because there is fundamentally no difference in dharma between men and women no matter what the cultural attitudes say. I don't think this is about Tara and dakinis and so on - because presenting women as 'goddesses' is as sexist as denigrating them (even though some feminists come out with this tripe also). I don't think karma mudra is inherently exploitative - but of course that doesn't mean people don't exploit it. I haven't read June Campbell so I don't know what Kalu Rinpoche is supposed to have done to her - so I'll rest judgement on that till I do.

I'm guessing its a very small price to pay.

Ewwwwwww.

Maybe our investment in a very 'unreal' world?

I meant 'correction' as in when water pressure builds up and then releases - not as if there is an external agent making corrections.

They told me that to go to the supermarket all I needed was a face-mask and gloves - but when I got there everyone else was wearing clothes as well !!!!
