Wonderful film.

 

thankyou.

[Apech]

Watched it all now ... what a lovely person he was ...

[三江源]

Radiant! Very opening experience, watching him, and his way of being and his eyes and smile.

[Apech]

I liked the way he dispensed with shirts on every possible occasion. A topless guru ... great.

[三江源]

I also watched today the other resource Jetsun posted - for which also thankyou Jetsun - the interview with bruce frantzis.

 

It was a really good interview, Bruce is terrific, I really liked him a lot. But he could have done without his shirt, from my point of view. Definitely.

Maybe taking your shirt off is the real key to cultivation i'm going to try it right now

 

That sort of thinking is probably how many of the things you get in religion come from, give it a few years and they will be persecuting people in the name of the Dharma for wearing shirts.

[三江源]

All things are possible, so I've heard. I also heard everything is auspicious.

[Apech]

he practiced Tummo ... hence the shirtless look.

I was joking when I wrote this but I was just reading about the Zen master Hakuin and he says:

 

"The golden rule in the art of sustaining life is always to keep the upper body cool and the lower body warm."

 

So maybe there really is something important in being a shirtless guru. Although its probably not a good idea here at the moment seeing as there is snow everywhere.

[三江源]

cool heart

 

warm lower dt

 

 

do it internally!

Does not make sense to have the pot below the fire.

 

Evidently this is the way conditions are in the human world at this age. Trickling down into other levels of existence too. Soon there will be torrential floods.

 

Is your 'ark' in good shape?
