Em no, thats where you are mistaken. Deadly depends on how it is used. A gun can be perfectly safe or deadly depending on who uses it, their motivations and their knowledge of how to operate it These methods are alive in Burma.The people that undertake them are not dead. They are VERY much alive and kicking @freeform gave you the answer ( he seems to do that a lot for everyone). The external methods need to be used alongside the internal ones...with the right knowledge and competence 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My Buddhist teacher has spent a significant amount of time there, and is more than familiar. They are waiting for the situation to settle before returning. I have seen the mercury that they use in the form it is used. I have also seen it in its raw form This is what it looks like The line I'm familiar with do a lot of things with this, including putting it into their mouth while practicing. None of them are dead Also I have strong family ties to that side of the world, but I would rather not discuss my personal life here. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
