Aetherous Posted May 14, 2012 Oh great, now that I say one must suppress the sexual desires in order to properly cultivate, this means I am trolling  Nope...a lot of other people here experiment with suppressing sexual desires, myself as well. That's not the issue at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enishi Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) http://torontojungle.com/forum/showthread.php/16379-The-18-levels-of-Chinese-Hell  Chamber of Oil Cauldrons – Sex offenders such as rapists, lechers, adulterers are fried in oil in this chamber.  Chamber of Eye-gouging – Peeping toms who go around peeking and leering have their eyeballs gouged out in this chamber.  This sounds like peasant/populace control propanganda based on a very skewed interpretation of the afterlife. Souls tend only to experience those things upon crossing over if they EXPECT them (or if they have extreme guilt). Edited May 14, 2012 by Enishi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tulku Posted May 14, 2012 This sounds like peasant/populace control propanganda based on a very skewed interpretation of the afterlife. Souls tend only to experience those things upon crossing over if they EXPECT them (or if they have extreme guilt). Â More often than not, it is the souls themselves who requested such punishments.

bakeneko Posted May 14, 2012 One womans garbage is another mans holy wondrousness, true enough. Â So Tulku you are on a mission.. are you intending to post about the same topic ad infinitum on this board? Â If he keeps up the words (can one call it a promise?), he wrote in this post http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?/topic/23438-how-to-transform-prison-planet-earth-into-immaterial-world-of-neither-perception-nor-non-perception/page__view__findpost__p__336760 he would be required by himself to stfu after the date he set for doomsday - or at least next year.

thelerner Posted May 14, 2012 Â I suggest to the mods: ban tulku for trolling, Hmnnnn, is he trolling us, or are we trolling him? Â He has a somewhat extreme view and we're trying to change it. We are the ones writing in his Thread. His views are certain out of step in mainline society, but less so (somewhat) in our Taoist/Buddhist circle. Â I'm bowing out of Tulku's threads. I leave with this: As we get older our points of view change. It seems impossible, but often we laugh at old ideas we once clinged to with all our might. Â Don't do anything rash. Keep an open mind. Look for the good in the world. Â Good luck. Michael out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lifeforce Posted May 14, 2012 Â I suggest to the mods: ban tulku for trolling, and also to help him find a more useful outlet for whatever he's going through (like professional mental health services). Â Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelerner Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) Damn, hit reply instead of edit. After saying Michael out, I fudged and added a line below. Â Â Hmnnnn, is he trolling us, or are we trolling him? Â Â He has a somewhat extreme view and we're trying to change it. We are the ones writing in his Thread.

Look for the good in the world. Â Good luck. Michael out. Â Â I'll add, if Tulku does something stupidly drastic then Scotty will be proved absolutely right, and we've been giving an intrepid audience to someone who needed professional help.

Green Tiger Posted May 15, 2012 With the Day of Judgment coming in less than 8 months time, I just wanna do my best to let all in here know the dangers of succumbing to their inner demons. Â Â Succumbing to lovely ladies is what I'd most like to do with my last 8 months. Thanks for the warning, puritan! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
