Re: "Is is really worth it?". Absolutely, yes. It is impossible to know the ripple affect of any given event. For example, in attending that Second Life teaching, I decided that I really didn't need to buy a Hummer. (okay, not really, but this easil…

Margaret also mentioned that the internet is using more power than the airline industry. I wasn't aware of this and understood that transportation was the biggest source of emissions. (http://www.whatsyourimpact.eu.org/co2-sources.php) Would be keen…

Personally, I found Ken's teaching very helpful: it was a way to connect and some meditation instruction he gave on awareness of the whole body have seemed helpful in my meditation. I also think the avatars give some of those who are more reserved a…

The Aspiration Prayer of Mahamudra I found Ken's talk on SL to be quite helpful. It is an interesting place to meet in cyberspace and Ken gave some meditation instructions for awareness of the body that has been useful in my meditation. The avatar,…

Loren Enders replied to Leslie's discussion 'Which is Better - Buddhism or Christianity?'

I was reading the Spring 2004 issue of Buddhadharma last night, and I think it was in an interview with Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, that there are actually some yogins and yoginis who practice argument to look at the nature of anger--the natur…

If, l in all this insanity, we wanted to ever find the incarnation of a Westerner, maybe Dear Allen Ginsberg would be the first. Ironic how that would seem! But all I know is I am out of my league and it is time for me to listen.

I don't know, I think little insights or epiphanies are interesting. Maybe they are dribble, maybe only understood by the thinker or self. Who knows? A friend told me that the Dalai Lama one asked a question at a conference. Something like to be a Buddhist do you have to believe in reincarnation?

I would say no but it occurred to me that for the Mahayana attitude to work we must feel that all have been our mothers, fathers, children and friends which implies a belief in reincarnation. BUT, if w… Continue
