Don't go there buddy. It's a snake pit. Warring Buddhists all over the place. Anyone venerating Dorje Shugdan or connected with the New Kadampa line is very much out of favour with the Dalai Lama supporting cohorts. One 'side' does not have a good word for anyone on the 'other side'. It's all very sad. The big BuddhistDharma Wheel forum has banned all discussion so vehement do parties become. All best left well alone. Read what suits you and to heck with the politics. HTH

and of course... ....show an interest.

Apologies for butt(su-)ing in. I am new so do forgive any gauchness but this whole enlightenment thang puzzles so any advice and guidance would be appreciated. Who is it knowing they are enlightened, how and why?* *(Satsang doesn't count, I sorta understand how that works)

Our Lily's have had a right hammering from flippin' Lily Beetles this year. Maybe switch to Dahliahs next year.

Ta for the hello. Knowing Nothing is Useful Saves a Lot of Effort in the Long Run Was it Seneca or SennaPods recommended to cure constipation TA? I often get those two mixed up.
