I'm not sparking a debate here. I began reading erm, troubling things, shall we say about the man. Whilst I have been told most of the knowledge in his introductory book "Modern Buddhism" is orthodox I would still like to find some different reading materials introducing Buddhism, especially geared more towards Mahayana Buddhism. I find Mahayana Buddhism most suited to my person but I would also like to compare view points and make up my own mind.
Any suggestions are greatly appeciated.
Namaste,
Joshua.

Equanimity is the ground. Love is the moisture. Compassion is the seed. Bodhicitta is the result.
-Paraphrase of Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Tsephel citing the Guhyasamaja Tantra
"All memories and thoughts are the union of emptiness and knowing, the Mind.
Without attachment, self-liberating, like a snake in a knot.
Through the qualities of meditating in that way,
Mental obscurations are purified and the dharmakaya is attained."
-Ra Lotsawa, All-pervading Melodious Drumbeats
