Even the God realms are practically impossable to attain liberation in due to the nature of the body... how in Sam's Hell ...literally...are you going to attain liberation with a Bardo ...

Re: Mandalas and your place in them/ Namdrol inspired thread

But if you go Madagascar, you will never find Zangdog Palri. The Bardo is place of confusion and fear for most.It reminds me of h...

Mandalas and your place in them/ Namdrol inspired thread
can you be unenlightened and enter a Mandala? Can you be unenlightened and dwell in a pure land? i think so...hence my hierarchy talks with Namdrol.. according to this That is relative. Students are not lower than masters, masters are not higher than students. The primordial state of a master is no ...
