we tend to insist on fitting the pigeon into one of the binary holes, without consider just letting the pigeon fly free and beyond the constraint of the holes.
Where would the pigeon go then? it will be where it will be

As you see there is quite a bit to choose from. FWIW my own recommendation would be the one first mentioned by kirtu, i.e. https://www.shambhala.com/buddha-nature.html . A huge amount of careful work went into its preparation. FYI: to go with the book, you may also find some of these talks useful. ...

Re: Independent investigation confirms “physical, sexual, emotional abuse” by Sogyal Rinpoche
This whole thing is very discouraging to me. Sogyal doesn't hit as close to home but as a recent former-shambhalian my own experiences plus hearing about teachers like Sogyal makes it harder to trust the Dharma or teachers in general. A part of me knows that the dharma has so much truth and wisdom ...

I don't remember hearing anyone claiming Harvey Weinstein was displaying crazy wisdom.. his victims may have been silenced/stayed silent for various reasons but I doubt any of them felt his exploitation was a display of kindness for their benefit. That to me differentiates cult vs. not. (Of course c...

Hi Pema, He likely won't but readers should know that his comments have been removed from the Lion's Roar page where they originally appeared. Seems like he is unwilling to be debated.

Re: Buddhist Project Sunshine Phase 3 Final Report (Shambhala/Sakyong Mipham/etc)
If that statement about Pema Chödrön is correct, that is very disappointing, though not surprising. Pema Chödrön has taught alongside Mipham and her silence about the scandal has IMHO been suspicious. *sigh* The statement is merely that Pema Chödrön dismissed a report of abuse out of hand. It is di...

My initial read of your response was that you were accusing me of being a Shambhala apologist of some sort, coming to his defense. ah, sorry if it offended.. it was more a light-hearted teasing than anything. don't disagree at all with your overall messages and understand the sentiment too.

Re: Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo & Lama Tsultrim Allione: Shambhala's Sakyong Mipham
nice try... given the 1st half of your thesis - that helpful teachings/ideas can come from flawed individuals, which to me is obvious but beside the point here, why do you need to "not want Lodro to be guilty"? Sure, in theory we too should wish that no one ever commits wrongdoings and therefore is...
