Of course you are entitled to your opinion -- but do not forget that you

attacked the idea of aversion to samsara and called it psychopathic and without

love.

 

I think this is not fitting in an environment in which some people who followed

this idea are considered sages and revered.

way Paul Brunton did. This is of course not to say that my path is

better than yours - but to me it feels better.

You've got us all on the run now oh great one. You are the supreme of gems. I

really love the materialist interpretations of spiritual principles. That is

priceless. Now if only one could do sannyas in a cyclotron.

Well, I think the traditions become "mixed" when another one

begins. I mean, Buddhism came after Hinduism, isn't this

correct? So it borrowed from Hinduism. Just as (they say)

Christianity borrowed from Goddess and Pagan traditions. But

that does not invalidate the philosophies, practices, etc. nor

does it make one superior over another ultimately.

Yes, they all borrowed. The term Hinduism per se is a misnomer begun by

simplistic British rationalists, so as such, there is no such thing per se as a

pervasive Hinduism. Buddhism is a much more tight and formal religion, but that

said, there are three main categories of hinduism, with the tantric being the

least understood and most criticized. Nonetheless, if someone thinks that any

element of the tantras of the so-called Hindus is somehow missing in tantric

Buddhism that would merely be because they haven't studied enough. Fini. There's

no other excuse because all elements do exist, especially in Nyingma. Moreover,

could one possibly imagine that the very people who coexist at the very same

space as Mt. Kailas would be somehow separate from any esoteric knowledge? To

think that is egotistical and frankly, wrong thinking altogether. There's plenty

of knowledge on the similarities between Dzogchen and Vajrabhairava cults,

between Vajrayogini and Chhinamasta cults, between Buddhist and Hindu Kalachakra

cults. On Buddhist altars in Dharamsala Siva is considered a protector called

Lha Chenpo - the Great Father Deva. These tantric things predate the Smarta, or

any other formalized "Hindu" notions, and therefore are not subject to the vapid

cateloging of narrow minded fundamentalists. Which came first, the chicken or

the egg? I don't want an answer. I merely want recognition. I don't want

arguments I merely want entrance. If four doors open onto the same room does it

matter which one one enters? But to deny the other doors is merely blind and

bigoted. Even if pseudoscience says that to enter from the East or North is

best.
