Mantra,

Methinks you doth protest too much... You say that Max doesn't like titles, then what's up with Lama Dorje, a litany of masters, and the fact that he's mastered every spiritual discipline known to man? You say he doesn't like robes, what's up with the Chinese costume? You talk about him being a regular guy but then if the energy isn't just right in San Francisco he's going to metamorphosize or evolve into a spirt/dragon thing not to mention all the other superhuman things he talks about and tries to demonstrate in movies and photos? The inconsistencies are pervasive in everything we see and read about him. In a different thread someone recommended changing the name of this forum - I think that's a good idea. It needs to be called LamaDorjebums... It's really getting tiresome...

It's very telling to notice the change in your demeanor (and his other students') when one person criticizes Max. Are you that insecure? If he really is everything you think he is why are you so sensitive to one persons criticism? These are rhetorical questions intended for your consideration, no reply is needed or solicited...

I wish you and Max well. There is room for everyone on this beautiful planet.

Nobody is that insecure. It is a matter respect for Max and all the effort he is making to teach those of us who care to learn. Lama Dorje was a name and title given to him. The students call him Max is his workshops.

No closedown between 1 & 2...gotta keep the energy going!

Thanks for your clarification. Another question for who care to answer:

I often have spontenous Kunlun movements outside of my dedicated practice sessions. Though unscheduled, I allow it to take its own course if I am at a safe place. These too can be quite intense.

Is closing down needed for these movement that happens on its own?

One thing that is happening a lot is that I get dizzy spaced out and exhausted spinning during Kunlun if I allow my body to do its thing. I don't know if this almost fainting dizzy feeling is what some call the *death experience* or sth else.

I often do Red Phoenix immediately after K1 . A more advanced student said one can continue w/o closing kunlun and let the kunlun enrgy work the red phonix. The closing is done after both practices. In this case, shall I do the right over left red phoenix closing or the left over right kunlun closing at the end of the session?

One more question:

Does one need to do a closing down after doing K1 before K2? I assume that closing is not done as the book said something like to continue w/o break.

Thanking all in advance for helping to clear up these questions.

this was an old post by mantra, one of max's top students, I hope it helps clarify..

at any rate, you guys can very well think that max isn't the real deal, it doesn't detract from all our experiences with him, just know that we have already been over all of this, reading some of mantras posts (by clicking on his name then opening the tab in the upper right corner of his account profile) can be very informative.

Thank you so much for making this available again. After attending Max's seminar in San Diego, I am convinced that he is teaching and transmitting sth extraordinary. He certainly isn't into a cult following. I have seen enough of cults like TM and Art of Living that encourage students into becoming total followers, volunteering long hours for nothing while charging huge fees for every little program. This is certainly not the case here.

Max is truly a great teacher, who doesn't even want the status of one.

I'm still trying to get them man! Err...I dont know that there are any photos from the workshop though. I know Kristen took a bunch of pics when we drove out to AZ City, not sure if there were any others from anywhere else. I wish we took some at camelback mtn where we hiked after the seminar saturday...and Lezlie took a pic of my back after getting scorpion palm & eagle claw on my back. I'll let yall know if I get my mitts on 'em

No scorpion (dead or alive) was used. It is the name of a technique. You can learn this form Max (lama Dorje) after you take Kunlun Level 1. I have not taken this class yet. I took Kunlun 1 three weeks ago.

Spontaneous Kunlun is the most powerful technique I learn. I had done Zen, Vipasana, Kriya Yoga & other techniques.

A week ago, I learned Spontaneous Kunlun & Red Phoenix for Max (Lama Thunderbolt).

Though am exposed to Taoist legends and Qigong before I always felt that the stories of the immortals were myths or the method to attain the state had been lost. This changed when I met Max .....

I am here to learn and share the experience of the journey.
