Having read through this thread.. for me personally, the dead are gone... that’s easy, but what he left behind for others.. the living, is hard.

Re: There's a reincarnation of Chogyam Trungpa and emanation of Padmasambhava?
My Thai monk friend explained to me that during the Buddha’s time, one of his followers followed a man and woman into a temple (temples tend to be rather dark) and groped the woman. So, this caused quite an uproar, and really put the sangha in a bad light. The Buddha, being very practical, then pas...

Re: Why do some lay teachers of Tibetan traditions wear maroon monk robes?
A pansukulacivara, I believe was the intent, a cloth that wraps a dead body. Not worn for comfort but as a reminder of non attachment to the body etc.
I think that’s the original intent. And I also believe it’s saffron colored and not Maroon.

Re: There's a reincarnation of Chogyam Trungpa and emanation of Padmasambhava?
There are rules, but people do not take the time to learn them. They just run after So and so RInpoche, thinking he is enlightened, and when they find out Rinpoche is a womanizer and a drunk, they really have no one to blame but themselves for not examining them more closely. In cases where there i...

Re: What are your thoughts on DMT and the entities people claim to encounter?
What I mean is if philosophy wants to get involved on the tail end.. as a means of therapy .. that’s fine but it should be defined as such ... a therapeutic aspect of the bio/chemical therapy ... not the precursor for suchness. Drugs should not become a curiosity... But solid concrete knowledge and ...

Re: What are your thoughts on DMT and the entities people claim to encounter?
Agree 100% with JD’s comments ... gotta get away from the “wake and bake” crowd... but therapeutics and research is the way to go if it can get over that crowd. Also cut out the Terrance Mc crowd ... there are no trip gurus... shaman ‘s etc ...
This is chemistry... not epistemology..

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
This is one of the reasons that I personally always look with some skepticism on claims of "Well Rinpoche said it should be like this" about everything under the sun, particularly when they are not backed up by quotes from Rinpoche himself. ChNN said many things to many people, some state...

Re: What are your thoughts on DMT and the entities people claim to encounter?
Why explicitly in that state though? Do spirits find you easier or so? What is happening when you take Ayahuasca? One, people often take Aya because they want to meet plant guides. So there is an expectation of meeting such beings, since it is part of the lore. Two, the people who lead such session...
