I will also be providing postings on retroactive karma - why praying for your present state from your future Enlightened Buddha state is not kicking in . . .

The link itself led to the 8 verses I think. But the comments were a bit confusing. Hey, not everyone gets my sense of humour either.

When we have our knickers in a twist we need further Long John practice.Its not clear to me how this furthers the discussion...
Sorry to steal everyone's seriously precious time
Perhaps we can rob from the rich (Buddhas, the enlightened etc) and give to the poor of dharma?

Re: Lojong as " stealing " ?
I didnt know you could steal someone elses trash(negative karma)Simon E. wrote:I have no personal experience of formal Lojong...On another forum I have just read a startling debate where one of the participants describes Lojong as " stealing the karma of others " and " thwarting their negative desires "..
Any comments ?
Lojong/Tonglen is essentially growing your own mind.its a practice that helps reverse ego by exchanging your self for others.its the practice of rebilitateing you.
Ideally you are not stealing,you are takeing others trash and giving them gold in return.
