thelerner Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) It'd be interesting to learn more. We don't know when.. maybe 1925, maybe 1930 or date C. We don't who. We don't know his name. Possible it could be someone else. I assume a person approaching an irreversible step, would let someone know. Â Leave a rainbow body note, 'My name is Clyde, I've been doing x for y numbers of years with Rinpoche Z. So long suckers, I'm going rainbow.' It just seems polite, if its hard to do and you're not triggering it accidentally, you leave a note behind to honor your teacher and provide a pathway for your fellow hardcore practitioners. Heck, why not do it infront of others to inspire and perhaps allow them to replicate the feat easier. Edited September 22, 2014 by thelerner 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bud Jetsun Posted September 22, 2014 Of course an american can achieve rainbow body. Even American's come equipped with a spirit and mind. Â It is the objective of most if not all spiritual religion. Â If you leave a body, you continue going around on the wheel. Â The reason for spending efforts "practicing" and "practicing meditation" is for this ultimate objective of complete timeless eternal liberation. Â When emphasis is spent on the "practicing" aspect for the sake of "practice", I think many miss that this practice is for a purpose. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tibetan_Ice Posted September 27, 2014 American ? 1930s? Maybe one of these guys?http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p0Gwe5gKgjo  Again you ridicule and show disrespect for one of the buddhist's highest achievements. Why does TTB let you get away with turning the Buddhist sub forum into a circus? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
9th Posted September 27, 2014 FANTASTIC!!! WONDERFUL!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!! Â https://www.facebook.com/groups/137617126381879/permalink/523743021102619/ Â A comment: Â The "rainbow body" is not something the Tibetans created. Its a description of a certain natural process. Plenty of people have achieved it all over the world, most of them outside a buddhist context. And you wont know anything about them, because their kind of life is just not in the same streams as the rest of the world. Its sorta like how you cant find a rare animal species in the middle of a city. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GrandmasterP Posted September 27, 2014 Again you ridicule and show disrespect for one of the buddhist's highest achievements. Why does TTB let you get away with turning the Buddhist sub forum into a circus? Â Circus is a good analogy TI. It does seem a bit like a circus on these Buddha threads now and again. That said we'd little or no interest in the Zen or PL discussions begun elsewhere. I suspect Dzogchen and Rainbow Body interest people predominate here. I'll leave you to it in good health.
