Good to know you know better than Marpa.

While I realise that this thread might be cathartic or therapeutic for some of the posters on here, for most of us it just serves as a warning not to have anything to do with anyone involved. I think it might be worth while thinking about what exactly the purpose of all this bickering online is. As a moderator I am considering locking the thread as I don’t want the board consumed by this dispute. A.

I think it is a matter of which order you do things in and what emphasis is given. For instance in Karma Pakshi’s three/ four Kaya approach you could argue that the dharmakaya is xing- like while the sambhoga Kaya is tsa- lung related. I have even heard it explained that lojong can be understood as energy work broadly - although I don’t think they would ever actually say that in so many words.

How do we define evil?

Well I agree on keeping things real so to speak. And I'm not advocating an away with the fairies view on entities. It (the idea they are real) does not fit the modern mind set though - so we seek rationalistic arguments about non-human entities. Something that has probably been accepted as true for hundreds of thousands of years by humans (I would suggest). But perhaps its worth considering that they, the gods, demi-gods, spirits and so on are each in their own realm where the rules of their realm apply. It's all about perception and we see with human eyes - so we imagine things as if they humanish. Yes the numinous mystery is real. IMO. I would not have said this a decade (maybe) ago. But there is always something unsatisfactory about 'archetypes' and psychological thought-forms etc to me. It's weak really. For instance the idea of sub-conscious is in itself poor - it should be super-conscious ... a field of super-conscious possibilities. And just part of the banality which science or scientism gives to our lives. You've got a point there. If everything is empty - then everything is possible (?).

Obviously I am still a kid.

@kakapo I like that song

cos it’s in a playlist - if you open it as a separate vid the link will post

Thanks that’s very helpful. There’s a woman in the next village who does acupuncture and sells some herbs - I’ll see if she has got these.
