Re: Wang for "Künzang Gongpa Zangthal" from Taklung T.R. - what is is for?

Very interesting question! I also had the great fortune to attend the Takdröl empowerment in Prague. The empowerment was definitely very extensive going through many aspects of Dzogchen. This rekindled my interest into what we actually received and when looking into the Gongpa Zangthal cycle at BDR...

Re: Moderation, bias, etc.

I think we're likely to get shut down here in a minute, but briefly: I don't see anyone's behavior here as "defensive," nor do I see anyone's behavior here exhibiting "bias." People have disagreed with you, but that's not the same thing as defensiveness. And holding a political ...

Re: Moderation, bias, etc.

To synthesize the issue, I have just responded to DNS’s presentation of the reason why in my opinion Dharmawheel is separated from Dhammawheel. Then the thread was split and some posters, without reading the original thread, went on the defensive because for me, one of the reasons there are two site...

Re: Moderation, bias, etc.

Sorry, what is your meaning of DNS? Oh man, you're serious? DNS is the acronym of the guy who owns Dharmawheel, Dhamawheel, etc: https://www.dharmawheel.net/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2 Sorry I wasn’t ‘hip’ to that. I never concerned myself with who owns this thing. So then… Is he the ma...

Re: Moderation, bias, etc.

I’ve seen as much (more really, since we’ve had actual Nazi Buddhists etc.) venom from right wingers here, they’re just outnumbered demographically. Okay, sure, but imho the outnumbering does not justify spreading hatred without caring of the consequences, in particular on a Buddhist forum. Being m...

Re: Moderation, bias, etc.

Think of it as an opportunity to practice patience. You're right. Still I see unfairness and a total absence of compassion in some posts in lounge, ridiculing political people and ideas that do not fit the agenda of the woke doxa. It's sad for them because they are apparently so immersed in their b...

Re: Moderation, bias, etc.

I perceive alt-right people - everywhere - whining about how they were not free to say the the things they want to say. But actually, they cannot stand that opponents call out their speech as misanthropic, unfair and dangerous. One could laugh about this twisting of facts, if it wasn't so demagogic...

So, you don’t know exactly why your posts are omitted. I don't care if my posts are omitted, sorry. If there’s no bias, it wouldn’t be a debate, would it? There were bias, so there were debates. There still are (in a certain form, in lounge mostly with a constant slight distillation of hatred, Kim ...

You'd be surprised.
It's a last step on the path.
Not in Dzogchen.
I always wonder why this topic is so very attractive online, because these discussions are like if blind people are discussing colors.
Depends on who discusses it.

Re: Moderation, bias, etc.

Are you quite sure you aren’t simply being cited for making unsubstantiated accusations? How could I know? You have to ask those who cite me. Your question is pretty weird. Do you know for a fact that the moderators are members of left wing organizations? Their biais in previous debates I had with ...

Re: Why are DharmaWheel and DhammaWheel separated?

There are really levels of warning? Yes there are warning levels. I think level 5 is the last limit. Is there a mechanism how to downgrade one's level to avoid it only increasing? Not sure. Mine has been on level 5 for the past 2 years if I'm not mistaken. So I don't think time passing is going to ...

Re: Why are DharmaWheel and DhammaWheel separated?

Moderators and moderation aren't perfect, Sure, and that's not what most of us are asking here, rather leaving their political proliferations and priviledged statements at home would certainly make things less heated sometimes. Those “buddhists” who post to ridiculize other people's political belie...

Also, losing Malcom was truly a substantial loss, but there are 16,000 people here. Isn't it enough minds to keep the forum active and figure out each topic being asked? Maybe...

Moderation, bias, etc.

The separate forums by major traditions we have here appears to have worked out well. Well, it’s mostly because you allow a bunch of far-left activists work as moderators dictating others what they have to think, deleting comments that contradicts them, and banning people whose opinions are not in ...
