Mindfulness could be a good start and lead onto great existences.
You can also be a wonderful human being with compassion and never heard of Buddhism or followed it. Reality of existence is what counts less so...
Thanks KathyL, you seem lovely as a person. Small things kind of click, every now and then. I am leaning towards there not being very much to call...
When I meditated long ago I was a beginner and did not entirely know what I was doing, or not doing is maybe better phrasing. I had a few exalted...
It is ok, nonsense in parts, not sure if badly written or badly translated or basically incomprehensible. Often Zen related writings seem like...
That seems like manipulation from a very much unenlightened being to me. No one can bestow enlightenment upon you. At best they are signposts like...
Not sure who is claiming to be enlightened, I don't think Sogyal Lakar did, we can ditch the Rinpoche now. I don't really care what Jamyang...

Seems very sensible Kathy, shame I never read about the allegations before reading a 400 page book again ! Oh well must have been mean tot be for...

I am giving it a second look, even better the second time, brings tears to my eyes at times. if ever we need a shift, no time like the present...
I am on the meat and bones of TTBOLAD, the Bardo's, very beautifully described but also miss the opportunities as the very vast majority of us...
Ironic from here, but it's very clear words are a tangible obstruction to this. Merely seeds, again getting somewhere, nowhere, back to here and...
It is worth looking at this, at least to have a new perspective on formal practice. It changed the approach to meditation, how exactly I cannot...
Karma if it even exists, seems to involve more thinking as we can see. I would like to reply to some of the points but I can see it is entirely...
