  1. Help us help Buddhist Discussion

    Im still waiting for the OP and Admin to further elaborate on what's presumed to be this massive 'problem' with the Buddhist sub-forum. List out all the main issues so that members can see what sort of overwhelming tasks you guys have in moderating this section of TTB. If this is not done, then i suggest renaming this thread so that a different message is implied. As it stands, it gives off a certain 'ill' energy, if you know what i mean. Moreover, the lack of input from the OP suggests that starting this thread seems to have some unpleasant motive(s), unless otherwise justified. Put up or cease with the false assumptions.

  6. Introduction of me with a bunch of questions

    Ego. Disease. Riddance. Meditation. Knowledge. Self. Trickery. Dissolution. Self. Riddance. Self. A lifetime's work ahead of you, just with those eight words. You alone can do the work. Claim the responsibility. Be brave enough to admit your faults and limitations. This is the most valuable attitude on the spiritual quest. The journey is one of going inwards to uproot certain habits built over periods of unawareness. Without this courage, you will never find the answers to your questions, because your questions will be shrouded by your habits. In turn, your habits keep you from discovering your real nature. Admitting to yourself where you are stuck is not a weakness. Everyone knows this, but not everyone is interested to attend to this admission because its an uneasy assignment. Nobody ever said anything about the spiritual path being easy. Wishing you happy days ahead!

    Well said! There are accurate positions nonetheless, many of which are clearly pointed out by our Dharma brothers here, but never in a thousand years can we/should we claim them to be ours. Identifications lead to karmic propensities due to grasping that is intrinsically found within identification. 'Ours' is the ground where dualistic notions feed. Positions such as 'ours' and 'not ours' are simply carriers, eventually to be let go of, infinitely. Then everywhere is home, we can relax properly here, in comfort and ease. Isn't that one of the primary unique quality of the teachings under the 3rd turning of the wheel? Its easy to lose sight of essence. We go looking, endlessly, life after life, for the elephant in the forest neglecting to look in our own sitting room first, according to one Tibetan master.

    Its mostly neutral until the taunters show up. & then the hyenas would gather around, grinning stupidly at everything in sight.

    Anyone that post any points even slightly resembling criticism of the seeming misconduct of Buddhists, Ralis will be first in line to shout "AYE"... thats how unrigid and unemotional he thinks he is being. Plus, he likes to assume that such a display of agreement is 'sensible' as opposed to reactionary tendencies which he clearly identifies in those who practice Buddhism, which obviously he is not subject to because he is beyond the emotionalisms that Buddhists are commonly a victim of. Amazing attitude to say the least. Yet, when 2 or more Buddhists come together in agreement on a particular point relating to Buddhist praxis, which does not even happen that often, guess what sort of words would spew forth from his lips should he spot it. And, he does somehow spot it each time it happens, as if by magic. Now, that's gooood policing, i'd say. Lately, each time i want to 'like' a post made by one of the Buddhist members here, i'd reflexively look over my shoulder, just in case.... In his complete adaptability, he is able to demonstrate a mindset so flexible that for the last number of years, since the time he started having civilised exchanges with Vaj, the contents and premise of his posts haven't altered one bit. Still the same old stuff, for eg, his skygazing experience, lamas in robes, authoritarianism, etc., being regurgitated over and over, like a stuck record. Very insightful contributions indeed, Ralis. Keep it up. I'm guessing you abhor mirrors?
