Re: What advice would you give yourself 10-20 years ago?
Stop being so lazy. Don't be discouraged by lack of results. Quit projecting madly onto the teacher. Stop comparing yourself to others and be less concerned with what others in the sangha do or don't do - walk your own path at your own speed according to the abilities you actually have, not what you...

Re: What does "bump" mean in a reply?
Yes, that's an interesting point. And I was raised old school Roman Catholic, so when I started attending sangha events many years later, I felt right at home with all the bells and candles and incense. I sometimes joke I had previously been in the right pew but the wrong church.

Re: What does "bump" mean in a reply?
My handle came from a wall poster similar to this one that a friend had in college in the 70's. I had no clue how appropriate it would be later. :smile: https://i3.cpcache.com/merchandise/18134217/53_750x750_Front_Color-NA.jpg?AttributeValue=NA&c=False&OrientationNo=1®ion={%22name%22:...

Re: What does "bump" mean in a reply?
"Bump" is usually applied to a post that the poster would like to have some/additional response. It just moves that post to the beginning of the thread. It will then hopefully be seen and responded to more quickly.

Re: Question about Siddhis/Research/Spreading the Dharma
... If I met a person who could walk through walls, I'd sure as hell pay close attention to their knowledge of the universe. Fine, but that's you. Plenty of others would just want to know how to do it themselves, preferably without studying with a dharma teacher for 30 or 40 years. Who's to say you...

Re: tombstones
Perhaps this thread could serve that purpose?
Some people might just want to leave a remembrance rather than a formal request for prayers from a group. I think there was something like that here at one time, it had candle emoji's maybe?, but I can't remember where it was.

Re: Prayers for Geshe missing in Washington State
Thanks for the update. I traveled through that area via motorcycle years ago, it's a mountainous, very heavily wooded and isolated section of Idaho, but many teachers have experience living in those conditions. Making aspirations for Rinpoche's safe return.

Prayers for Geshe missing in Washington State
Geshe Dadul Namgyal has been missing in the Pend Oreille area since last Tuesday. If you can, please offer prayers and aspirations that Geshe-la is found quickly.

Re: This Guy is Really Interesting
Something about people who work with land and growing makes a person easy to like. Possibly true if you're referring to the hippie-type back-to-the-land save-the-planet folks. Perhaps not quite so true with corporate/factory farmers or some other less-enlightened types. There are farmers in some ru...
