  1. Karma and dharma

    Without the words you and them there are just things happening. Even this is saying too much. Resting in unknowniness I start to understand.
  2. Thanks. You agree with the quote or what is your take on Tantra vs Sutra? It was amazing. Funny thing I didn't intellectually understand the teachings, even during worldwide transmission. But he hit something deep in my heart and I still do parts of the Guru Yoga practice and Song of the Vajra. You can ask for teachings from him if you are sincere - even though he is dead.
  3. You have reversed your grey hair? You say Buddhism but it only refers to sutrayana. Buddhist Tantric practice like gtummo is like Daoist LDT but focus is on enlightenment. What I mean by this could be read in Modern Buddhism vol 2. This is from Namkhai Norbu This is from Modern Buddhism vol 2
  4. This is your belief. From Awakening to the Tao by Liu I-Ming If you have no interest in the true self what are you doing in the Daoist section?
  5. I come from a standpoint aligned with what is written by Liu I-Ming, Buddha Shakyamuni and others who write from realization.
  6. Problem is you take a Daoist concept and assign it as Truth. FDD wasn't an idiot. FP is a divine system received by FDD from a Deity as mentioned many times. I have recommended it for those who have an affinity with it.
  7. Regarding gTummo teachings I heard from Lama Dawai that the order would be Yantra Yoga, then Trulkhor, then gTummo. I did a lot of energy work and found it useful. Though the knowingness of experience so to speak is the same. There are people who just sit in satsangs for 20 years Nisargadatta style with a simple pointing out that everything the mind says is a story and 'unreal' with a pointing to the real. See Sailor Bob Adamson and Sailor Sisters on YouTube for evidence. The view from the top of the mountain is the same. How we get to the top is different.
  8. From Liu I-Ming, Awakening to the Tao (good book on internal alchemy). The body beyond the body is a pointer to your true nature Consciousness / Awareness / Beingness / Dao. Nothing can change the fact this is what you are right now. If you do energy work you will still be Consciousness. What is observing the change in your body? The changeless.
  9. Enjoy this Zen text 😊
  10. evil running wild in the world

    I can suggest some things if you want to change the world... But these tools work on you as well because you are part of it.
  11. You are a quantum system

    In quantum speak you are a quantum system affecting the reality (so to speak).
  12. evil running wild in the world

    In Modern Buddhism vol 1 one can find instructions on emptiness teachings. Also training in compassion so one doesn't end up with dry insight.
  13. evil running wild in the world

    Try to stop yourself from doing things. Who is trying to stop the doer? Where is action coming from?
  14. evil running wild in the world

    First we have to find the 'one doing things'.
