Lama Yeshe: Buddhist Kundalini? [Kundalini]

[Guest guest]

Please do understand that we have differing approaches. To each his own.

As far as i am concernend if you like it you can wear the shoes on

your head and the hat on your feet up in the air with your cap is on

top of them while singing "star spangled banner".

 

If your teacher or you decides this is the way for you go for it.

I don´t even like to recite several mantras with differing rishis at

the same time.

There are several views possible even amongst budhhists and als amongst

indological scholars and pandits concerning the buddhist path.

 

If its mistaken to identify rudra with shiva then i am in god company

with all hindus chanting the rudram namakam on shivaratri.

And you are in company with some western scholars concentrating on the

history of religion, these are only 2 conflicting viewpointsn no need

to mix the exchange of ideas with personal attacks.

Just allow me to chant the namakam ok?

You are free to chant the namakam. May I join U? I love Siva. I am sorry for

to many Buddhist beggars. I feel often that that is a stigma that I have also

tried to break free from from past lives, that is, the self imposed stigma of

relying on others or demanding something from others. It's it very difficult in

this life for me to actually care about material things and yet, these are

lessons of high importance for me individually. I am learning how to be

responsible for this individual. Very difficult lesson for me.

 

Also, I brought into this life the Bodhisattva ideal of serving others, and it

took me a very long time to recognize desires of my own besides the basics

necessary for survival and to acknowledge them and work on them. It took the

laissez faire economy to show me that sometimes to serve my own desires would

accomplish something for those of similar interests as well. it cannot be easy

to coordinate the individual with the cosmic.

 

I'm sorry I was so rough on you Maha. Yes, Rudra may have been borrowed from

early Dravidian roots as a symbol, but was never meant to be the same as Siva,

as Siva is a great protector of Buddhadharma in such tantras as the Guhyagarbha

and Kalachakra. Nonetheless there was historical bettles of Shaivittes and

Buddhists with each group torturing the other to cleanse them, including such

horrible things as boiling the other in oil and so on. Such atrocities committed

previously.

 

To acknowledge the coexistance of differing viewpoints is really all I wanted.

As the world has enough experts. Thank you for that. I don't know about wearing

my shoes on my head, but sometimes I do put my socks on second Peace and

have a great day.
