  1. One nice moving qigong from Master Li
  2. Alchemy, is it real ??

    The pill is the Golden Elixir which is your true nature. Reality without any self, just pure abiding in awareness.
  3. Why is Buddhism so complicated?

    Just rest in the view of no view. In the resting bring in all sentient beings and have compassion for them. Job done.
  4. From Rob Coons https://immortalitystudy.substack.com/p/no-you-dont-have-to-build-a-dantian Read more in the link
  5. VortexHealing has a Presence transmission which IMHO has the same quality of abiding in awareness / true nature. No religion required here just a number of paid courses. Once you have the transmission you can do it on your own and no teacher is required. I like human teachers though, at least sometimes 😊

    Nothing extreme if you are actually interested https://tricycle.org/magazine/what-went-wrong-tibetan-sex-abuse/ Took less than 1 sec to Google? No basis? Maybe you should mind your words.

    Stirling says nothing is ever forced. This is not true. Evidence points to a different reality, examples are what is already mentioned, then vipassana practices that lead to dark knight of the soul, already known if you research it. In Daoism you see people read old texts that say women contain 'worms' and shouldn't be touched. Then they suppress their natural sexual desire. So it is not just Buddhism. Once you act within a framework you will be affected by the framework. It is surprising people cannot see this.

    Buddhists are human and naturally flawed, this is logic, no? If a teacher implies he is perfect he would be a cult leader not a real teacher. There are good practitioners in every tradition. Saying they are beyond being human with built in bias and blinders is naive.

    AKD have you investigated your dislike for certain foods? Are you certain you are ok with having a preference for specific foods or do you imply we should DELETE the human?
  10. Healthy ego

    No it isn't. There are multiple cases where people have been abused sexually by Buddhist teachers. Why? Because the teachers were suppressing their sexuality instead of having a natural outlet. No need to put Buddhism on a pedestal. It is just a bunch of people practicing, they are flawed and not perfect.
  11. 1 sec in Presence is better than reading Nagarjuna and sutras. From Namkhai Norbu
  12. I would suggest a pointing out by a real Dzogchen teacher. Then you see the nature of mind and won't philosophize so much anymore. A real pointing out temporarily disables the selfing and non duality is shown.
