  4. Initiations in Tibetan buddhism

    You can PM me the specifics. I will talk about what I can if it will help you. Edit: are you asking about a specific initiation like a certain deity, or are you just asking someone to share about any initiation in order to try to understand how lineage and yidam energy manifests?

  21. The Compassionate Daoist vs. the Compassionate buddhist

    I suggest Darwin's Origin of the Species if you have the time to read it. He only uses the phrase "survival of the fittest" twice in the entire work, while mentioning cooperation and altruism hundreds of times in many different examples. Here's something a little shorter for you
  22. The Compassionate Daoist vs. the Compassionate buddhist

    can you explain why you think all acts and decisions are born out of self-interest? how do you contrast this to the amount of cooperation and altruism found in nature, where trees, plants, and animals are seemingly devoid of concept of self? to me, if you are wrapped up in your self-concept and self-cherishing, all your decisions will be made from that POV because thats the only one you possess. But that doesn't mean that there aren't other points of view available. just wanted to like that twice, thanks
  23. Resting the mind in its natural state

    Some teachers emphasize shine/lhakthong, some don't. There are multiple ways within the gradual and non-gradual approaches to recognize and rest the mind in the natural state. Until one has achieved the natural state, and manifests the fruits of this (instead of, for example, starting off their posts with insults) they don't really have any business telling anyone else how to practice their practice imo.
  24. Ai WeiWei interview

    Teacher Ai's 30 minute interview around his first exhibition featuring material inspired by his 81 days in secret detention under Chinese authorities. He is not allowed to talk about his experience as a condition of his release, but he is sculpting about it.
