Re: Starring Grigoris at 1:39
Very sad to hear that the conditions these refugees have to endure after having already fled and suffered so much. Very difficult for Greece & those who are pushed into action by the deluge of humanity too - there's absolutely no excuse for violence against these people, but when you get an out-...

Wouldn't that at very best be a conflict of interest, and at worst leave DW entirely bereft of your enthusiastic self-appointed service, Jiminy Cricket?

Yeah - thanks for stepping up and doing what I'd imagine is mostly a thankless job. I also appreciate you guys for posting regularly too.

Re: Interview with Malcolm on Wisdom Podcast
Industrial music? Didn't see that one coming. :smile: Awesome interview, and I too concur that M could do this weekly or probably bi-weekly in perpetuity and it wouldn't get old for me. Not from a polymath who's straight up forgotten more than I'll ever lean about so many topics I find fascinating &...

Re: Illuminating Quotes by Malcolm Namdrol-la
From "The DJKR topic"
The polar opposite, btw, of a charlatan - who does everything possible to encourage sycophancy & dependence....my teacher told me that his job, the job of a Dzogchen guru, is to make one free of the guru.

Re: Opinion please - is this a co-ink-a-dink? Or is Stephen Colbert running out of material?
A sincere thanks to those who weighed in and equally to those who cultivated the quality of wood in response to this vanity project. To summarize results, a collective yawn, with respondents skewed overwhelmingly to the verdict of coincidence. :woohoo: I'd have liked to have a larger sample, but giv...

Thanks, sincerely, for taking time time to respond Jake. I'm pretty far from furious, more curious than anything how others perceive it. I also submit that it's one thing to take a quick perusal and compare the two, something else entirely to work on a project like this for a couple of weeks and int...

Opinion please - is this a co-ink-a-dink? Or is Stephen Colbert running out of material?
So, here's a story for you. Wanted to get a wider sample of opinions, and as I'm not a really active internet gadfly, I don't have another place to do that - since Dharma wheel has this nifty sub-forum for media, allow me to ask : Here is video my brother in law shot for an ice-cream he was working ...

Re: Approaching political subjects from the wrong angle/Too much focus on politics(?)
Maybe use dharmawheel to discuss dharma and go to a political forum to discuss your political views. There's a lot of pretty smart people that don't believe that politics and religion should be combined. Maybe do as you please, and I'll do the same. Participation either way isn't compulsory. I thin...

Re: Approaching political subjects from the wrong angle/Too much focus on politics(?)
Hi Brunelleschi, I've seen the evolution of a few message boards, from cradle to grave (yes they all have a best by date and shelf life) and it's impossible to mandate the way discussion will evolve (or devolve in some cases). People participate at different times for different reasons. Active parti...

Re: BOUND. TORTURED. KILLED.
Malcolm said: "No, it isn't." In response to: Canada is a socialist country and it works. free health care.. I missed that it was Malcolm who said this (consciously at least) prior to my long post about my experience living both in the US and Canada. I'm sure that this statement is 100% co...

Re: BOUND. TORTURED. KILLED.
I'm beginning to think like the term Liberal you americans have a weird sense of what socialism is That's the thing with politics - you have the theory and reality. In reality, Canada does have both market and non-market socialist policies. Even though the two countries share a language and many ot...

Re: L ron gardner
Well, apparently Ayn Rand woke him up, as he says (around 8' 43'' in the video.) I'd say: that says it all. In fairness, he said she woke him put to 'sociopolitics', he wasn't making a statement there waking up in the Buddhist sense, although as already demonstrated, he comes off like a deluded nar...

Memorandum on Mahamudra and Dzogchen
I saw this translation by Adam Pearcy over at Lotsawa House and thought it was interesting given the oft occurring discussions on this forum about Dzogchen and it's application today, vis-a-vis the gradual yanas & how we discuss these as the fortunate (but relatively new in a cultural sense) rec...

Re: enlightment in one life
The Buddha recommended relinquishing all cravings, desire, becoming, attachment, to what we call 'our experience'. This also means relinquishing the desire for enlightenment and the belief in any satisfaction in things. Are you up for that? This is the Dzogchen forum. The comment was directed to a ...

Re: enlightment in one life
sometimes i think that "ilumination in one life" is pure bullshit, we hear "this one is emanation of this one, and that one is emanation of that one" This is completely at odds with the Dzogchen teachings, and flies in the face of the kindness of those few teachers who have the ...
