Re: On U.G. Krishnamurti:The Dharma Seals Of A Non-Buddhist
I am referencing a great post and contribution by another member and that I think is great to the conv in general as it is a Buddhist perspective-bridge passage for some of the focuses that other traditions in particular this teacher have given. You seem like your looking for some kind of confrontat...

Re: On U.G. Krishnamurti:The Dharma Seals Of A Non-Buddhist
What I was saying was clearly written under the Pali Canon quote.... Lol maybe include that next time? "Epic shared Pali Canon passage!" Some people need to practice character traits and socializing more.... :jumping: Bhikkhu, ‘I am’ is a conceiving; ‘I am this’ is a conceiving; ‘I shall b...

Re: On U.G. Krishnamurti:The Dharma Seals Of A Non-Buddhist
Bhikkhu, ‘I am’ is a conceiving; ‘I am this’ is a conceiving; ‘I shall be’ is a conceiving; ‘I shall not be’ is a conceiving; ‘I shall be possessed of form’ is a conceiving; ‘I shall be formless’ is a conceiving; ‘I shall be percipient’ is a conceiving; ‘I shall be non-percipient’ is a conceiving; ‘...

Re: wat metta in Valley Center CA USA
Speaking of Wat Metta, there is a forest fire in San Diego County right now that is not too far from the monastery. The good news though is that the fire is West of the fairly wide Interstate 15 freeway and the monastery is a few miles East of the freeway, so I'd imagine it would take a pretty big ...

Re: Challenging it all
Definitely interested to post, but at work. Consider this a placeholder. Can't wait PB. I think in some ways this thread could be a great one. Gives us a chance to move past our identities of being "Buddhists" and get to the bones of our lives. We all have had those moments were we kind o...

Challenging it all
So I posted on Dharma Wheel the same kinda similar thing but I am going to change it a bit for this audience. Lately I have been seeing the idea put forth that the Jhana of Cessation of Perception and Feeling is a kind of death and then a reboot of the system were you start seeing how psycho-social ...

Re: Alternative Forms of Vipassana
We can all agree that the most popular form of Vipassana in the world is the technique of Vipassana that is part of the lineage that descends from Ledi Sayadaw. No, we cannot agree about that. We can agree that it is the most popular in India and the West. In Burma, the Mahāsi Satipaṭṭhāna method i...

Ayya Khema & Yogachara
Some years back I read quite a bit from her in a short period.
Now after studying some Yogachara the parallels are pretty clear. Maybe beyond clear... Lol
Any history on her studying this school or some history with it?

What are some teachings, perspectives, experiences, or whatever that you have learned a long your walk on the path that have made a lasting and very profound impact in your life? Recently I was posting on The Dao Bums forum and someone addressed my "Sky Gazing" post and included a beautifu...

Buddhahood
Strange question. As I have been practicing more and in a somewhat intensive style I am more curious about "Buddhahood". Not in some grandeur way but as an understanding in some sense in it's relation to practice. It has been answered to death the difference between a Buddha and an Arahant...

Adventure Time!
Some things have recently happened that have given me the insight of how I will probably feel when I am on my death bed dying Lol And I have decided that truly what lays at the heart of my life and meaning is finding out "What the heck is going on here!" :tongue: I am planning to check out...

Re: Sentience & Insentience
I happen to think that the division between sentience and Insentience is largely irrelevant. It is a clear Buddhist teaching that we all inter-are. That the whole point of practice is to get rid of ignorance, including the fundamentally wrong idea that we are a separate self. Once we go beyond the ...
