asked nicely to introduce myself...

Post by ArchangelIdiotis »

Hello, everyone. I'll try to be brief.

I am a 37 year old male from the United States with an interest in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism. I am certainly no expert, and look forward to learning a lot.

I am not a Buddhist, but I seek enlightenment thru Buddhist teachings. I seek the highest forms of love that can exist, the most selfless states that Buddhism, and all world spirituality and psychology have yet discovered. I have founded my own spiritual path.

I am interested in writing poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, and in experimental music, and sketching. Have never been much for sports.

Enjoying my stay thus far.

:popcorn:
There is no suffering to be severed. Ignorance and klesas are indivisible from bodhi. There is no cause of suffering to be abandoned. Since extremes and the false are the Middle and genuine, there is no path to be practiced. Samsara is nirvana. No severance achieved. No suffering nor its cause. No path, no end. There is no transcendent realm; there is only the one true aspect. There is nothing separate from the true aspect.

You could try science fiction. ;)

thanks all for the warm welcome.

I have written science fiction and fantasy, and horror. Thanks for feeling enough interest to suggest it!

You’re not alone here in that. There are other people here that have the same approach.
1.The problem isn’t ‘ignorance’. The problem is the mind you have right now. (H.H. Karmapa XVII @NYC 2/4/18)
2. I support Mingyur R and HHDL in their positions against lama abuse.
3. Student: Lama, I thought I might die but then I realized that the 3 Jewels would protect me.
Lama: Even If you had died the 3 Jewels would still have protected you. (DW post by Fortyeightvows)
