gatito Posted December 21, 2013 Why don't you just post a bibliography instead of all this cutting and pasting? I'm not suprised that you're obsessed with suffering - the real question is why do you want to try to impose your suffering on everyone else? and your response:- Gatito, I'm not surprised that your obsessed with Brahman - the real question is why do you want to try to impose your Brahman on everyone else?

Simple_Jack Posted December 21, 2013 http://thetaobums.com/topic/33012-bernadette-roberts-christian-contemplative-view-on-buddhism/?p=507836 - The question should be: am I allowed to offer alternatives to the dogmatism of eternalist doctrines such as Vedanta in the Buddhist sub-forum?

RongzomFan Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Secondly, if, as you attempt to assert, Self don't exist, there would be nothing that could hop. I am not the one asserting self is everything. Jesus Christ dude. Edited December 21, 2013 by RongzomFan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gatito Posted December 22, 2013 Take it anyway you feel like. Thanks I take it as further demonstration of your profound ignorance I am not the one asserting self is everything. Jesus Christ dude. I know. That's because you're ignorant That link is hilarious. Dennis Waite, who is not a scholar, endorsed Greg Goode as the pinnacle of teachers. Yet Greg Goode is now a Buddhist.

Glad you still enjoy it - I thought that you'd be getting bored of looking at it by now I'm a Buddhist too In fact I'm running Buddhism 101 in my PPF at the moment - sorry that you're not invited - you'd have learned a lot.

gatito Posted December 22, 2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Advaita So what? I see you pretty much side stepped the whole Dennis Waite-Greg Goode issue. As you know, I completely demolished your position regarding that issue on another thread "In modern times, it finds expression through teachers such as Greg Goode and Francis Lucille." "Greg goes on to say:" "As Greg Goode points out...." "As Greg Goode puts it:" "was recommended to me by Greg Goode" http://www.amazon.com/reader/1905047614?_encoding=UTF8&query=Greg%20Goode#reader_1905047614 Gatito endorses Dennis Waite who endorses Greg Goode who is a fervent Madhyamaka follower. gatito endorses Sri Atmanada Krishna Menon and John Levy (and The Buddha ) gatito does not endorse anyone else (see Direct Path Advaita Resources link in my signature ) However, gatito considers that Greg Goode is a very decent, knowledgable, helpful, kind and generous man and anyone could do far worse than to attend one of Greg's non-dual dinners in New York and get to know him as a friend. Greg was also extremley kind and helpful regarding some technical philosophical issues with which gatito asked for help and not only did Greg deliver but he did it for free out of the considerable goodness of his heart. Thank you to Greg, especially for his DVD Illumination: The Direct Path of Sri Atmananda Krishna Menon I really enjoyed his book The Direct Path - A Users Guide too and I have no hesitation in highly recommending that as well. Not to WrongzomFan though, as I consider these teachings far too advanced for him and he should stick to Wrong Zom - or attend my Buddhism 101 Course if he actually wants to learn some Buddhism Buddhism 101 Course:- http://thetaobums.com/topic/33043-buddhism-101/?p=507729 (://thetaobums.com/topic/33043-buddhism-101/?p=507729) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
