Again , read my earlier post, i am not here to get the right on my side from you all.Kai lord wrote: ↑Sat Jan 07, 2023 5:38 pmGo ahead. To be frank, if this is a private conservation not a public forum where information or misinformation is widely shared and spread, I won't even bother discussing history with you because it would be simply a waste of time.James Sealy wrote: ↑Sat Jan 07, 2023 4:50 pmWell , here ends my discussion with you. Bön seems to be a 16000 years old tradition and that can never be in agreement with the general view here aboard.Kai lord wrote: ↑Sat Jan 07, 2023 3:30 pm
Nonsense, the history of humanity belongs to all humans, not just a specific small group of individuals. If the mere view or opinions of a tiny group of humans can become history, then what is stopping any races or religions in the current world from claiming that their ancestors or founders were first or most ancient source for all religions and humanity?
Like it or not, history has a proven methodology to it. Thats why stuffs like adam and eve remains a myth, not historical fact.
Bon is 16000 years old? Big deal. Buddhism is eons years old if you include all the past Buddhas but we don't force those narratives down the throats of historians and treat them casually almost like bedtimes stories.
And no one here is interested to do anything with regards to your rights. If anyone see unproven narratives pretending to be history, they have the rights to challenge and speak out."I" am not here to get some rights from you, for that i am not present here. Reason this is a "pure" Tibetan "Buddhist" forum and Bön is "tollerated" for some reasons.
Yeah but history is not dharma. Its simply events that have occurred before."I" am here to represent Yungdrung Bön topics, and that for 100%.
"I" never add water to the wine, if i deal with Bön Dharma, that should also be very clear for you all.
You are sounding like those young or old earthers that used to come to science forums to challenge all science nerds over there.So we leave it like that, Bön = Bön and Dorje Thekpa is Dorje Thekpa with all its roots in Hinayana and Mahayana and the rest.
Sometimes we can agree and sometimes not, that is reality.
You can have your deep rooted convictions and i have my way of understanding.
Like explained earlier, i never add water to the wine.
I never would leave the conviction of my Bön Masters. So i do not exchange gold for copper.
