Re: ChNN mind pills
What the heck are mind pills? And for that price? Honestly does not sound real to me. But I don't know what is that supposed to be. Not to mentions that "Buddha's magic" is a bit strange name for a site.
“Observing samaya involves to remain inseparable from the union of wisdom and compassion at all times, to sustain mindfulness, and to put into practice the guru’s instructions”. Garchen Rinpoche
For those who do virtuous actions,
goodness is what comes to pass.
For those who do non-virtuous actions,
that becomes suffering indeed.

Do you really think there's any chance that anything sold by "buddhas-magic" is likely to be anything other than garbage, after looking through the website?Dragpo wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 8:28 pm Would these be authentic do you think?

Looks suspect to me; but who knows...

Re: ChNN mind pills
Forget the pills, they sell rings of power:

Disappointed not to find either the wand of petrification or the cloak of invisibility.
A Christian version of the shop would surely offer the skull of infant Jesus.

Re: ChNN mind pills
It been around for many years that shop in a French version, I find it fascinating. Many objects are authentic, others I don't know, but I am pretty sure they think that all objects are authentic. There is a big market for these kind of objects in the Buddhist world. Magic is actually a big part of all Buddhism. Read the recent book: Buddhist Magic: Divination, Healing, and Enchantment through the Ages by Sam van Schaik. Also notice that a lot of objects come from Thailand so this is absolutely not only a Vajrayana thing.

Re: ChNN mind pills
Oh, sure. And I am perfectly OK with it, indeed, more than OK -- Vajrayana is a magical (or even magickal, as the Beast would prefer) tradition, after all, magic(k) is not an optional element here. But I think it does not blend very well with the globalised online market. It surely blends profitably, though.
There is a massive amount of scams when it comes to the esoteric ritual items in general, here the prices are also a bit worrying -- they seem almost random at times, some very conventional things costing more or less as much as what seem to be great rarities (cf.: https://www.tsongkang.de/en/Reliquien---mehr/). The descriptions are not infrequently rather far off, too. For example: "Amulets of Buddha Samantabhadra are conducive to sexual encounters and the practice of Tantric Dharma."

Re: ChNN mind pills
Probably sound better in French. I agree many of the descriptions show very little understanding of Vajrayana.treehuggingoctopus wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 12:55 pmOh, sure.
