Re: The Karmapa fathered a child - DNA test reveals

The "host" or author of the blog points out that the Paternity test can be easily proved. I would agree. I'd like to see the results, as I think would we all. If they are truly positive, I would be disappointed and disturbed by the lack of transparency, but I think it's still not proof of...

Re: The Karmapa fathered a child - DNA test reveals

The real practitioners keep very lowkey and don't get all the fame or prowess. Remember that Tulku Urgyen and Chatrel Rinpoche never became famous until after their deaths. They were both quite famous among Tibetans during their lifetime, the former because he was the guru of the 16th Karmapa, the ...

do you mean to say "also"? personally I'd rather see him (or anyone for that matter) being an alleged alcoholic than an alleged rapist.

What does that even mean? Is tibetan brocade sacred? Or maybe some guy in a thong eating raw fish sacred?. The point of the teaching is to gain knowladge of your relative and absolute condition, it has nothing to do with conforming to some abstract idea of sacred.

Don't sleep with your students. Don't physically or sexually assault them. Make sure your finances are transparent. It's not really so difficult? :twothumbsup: It IS that simple.

Re: Karmapa's Occupation

Really? I thought OTD definitely ordained some people and received Gelong vows. He attended an ordination, and later complained that he did not consider it valid since he was not asked if he wanted to receive full ordination. He considers himself an upāsaka. This was quite the buzz amongst Tibetans...

Re: Brunnhölzl on Buddha Nature as a radical teaching.

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
