  1. Seems like a form of attachment to be so serious and grim in regards to secret transmissions. Although Norbu has repeatedly stated there are no secrets except in the realization of the transmission.

     

    You have to go to him to get the transmissions. The secrets I possess are the same way. You can have all of them, but you have to ask. I prefer to meet in person. There're enough webcasts going on.


  2. When you know her do you know her and her realization as two separate objects of cognition?

     

    I know this question is bullshit.

     

    If your woman is just a realization, then why is realization female? If there is something in her besides her realization, then what is it?

     

    Word games.

     

    Seriously?

     

    Lame.


  3. Why the Tibetan name; Ösel Dorjee?

     

    My teacher calls me that.

     

    Spiritual consulting? I thought only spirits could consult, which is why it is called spiritual. Sounds like big bucks for a minute of your time.

     

    I don't care about money. I have all I need.


  4. Your statement implies that a sentient being has a prior existence which contradicts Buddhist teachings and therefore suffering is implied. That is an absolute statement which has no proof. The rest of the statement has no definitive proof.

     

    If you have no suffering then why bother Buddhists?


  5. I know. Took you a while with that late edit.

     

    I'm basically you, with one difference. You are trying to be subtle about your enormous arrogance because you think you can fool someone. Perhaps you are fishing for paying customers or easy girls you can fuck. Good luck with your cult.

     

    I'm rich bitch! And I fuck all the hot girls without saying a word, nerd.


  6. The only way we will meet is if you eat the Earth I walk upon right in front of me, and prostrate to me one hundred times in a row.

     

    oh, that's funny... I was going to ask you to eat my shit. In case you didn't notice, I wasn't requesting a meeting with you...


  7. Is walking a siddhi then? I think "psychic power" is a better translation. Accomplishment is too wide and too unspecific.

     

    there are eight common siddhi, you can look it up on the innnernet

     

    Isn't this the very thing that cannot be taught? If yes, how were they able to demonstrate this realization to you?

     

    Read the Heart Sutra.

     

    Sorry, can you give me more? A lot more, if you don't mind.

     

    I mind. If you want to know more, you can request a meeting.


  8. When I first became involved in Buddhism, there were threats of hell realms, bad karmic repercussions, punishment for breaking samaya and other medieval/dark ages belief systems. I instantly grew tired of such childish beliefs. I believe there is a special vajra hell for certain transgressions against Lama's.

     

    Congratulations.


  9. "Siddhi" is just a useless jargon word. Let's use English, please.

     

    No. It means accomplishment.

     

    Now in English we say "psychic power" instead of siddhi. That way everyone can understand what we're talking about.

     

    So common siddhis means common psychic powers.

     

    And uncommon siddhis means uncommon psychic powers.

     

    Nope. Uncommon siddhi means realization of emptiness.

     

    You have stated that your teachers have each demonstrated both kinds of psychic power to you. I am asking you to please describe what specifically have you experienced with some of the teachers you mention and how that relates to them being your teachers?

     

     

    OK, so what is wrong with how I am saying it?

     

    I'll give you a hint... contemplation.


  10. What are those psychic powers? Which psychic powers have they demonstrated to you?

     

    Those are common siddhi. The uncommon siddhi is what makes them realized.

     

    Now, if I understand you correctly this time, a teacher is someone who can overpower or subvert your ordinary expectations of phenomenal reality. Did I get this right?

     

    Nope. Okay, I'll give you a hint... contemplation.


  11. In that case your previous answer "Because in their presence life is bliss" is inadequate. So can you please answer my question adequately? Why do you consider the long list of the people you mentioned to be your teachers?

     

    Because they are realized beings, meaning they can demonstrate common and uncommon siddhi, and based on that, I requested teachings and received them.
