What "V - We are of Peace" is not telling you is that almost all Buddhist teachers tell their students not to indulge in disputes with students or teachers of other traditions of practice or other forms of meditation, whether Buddhist, Hindu, Christian or other. While they will do an analysis of another tradition's "tenets" they leave it at that. They are not called either to proselytize or to attack other traditions of spiritual practice. They are only called to do their own sadhana. They also are not called to consort themselves with mere soi-disants much less be one themselves.
Those that do act that way give a clear sign that they either making it all up and/or hiding their virulent aggression from their teachers, if they have any teachers. In fact most people that hide their behavior in this manner do not really have a Buddhist spiritual mentor/guru. They go to a few courses and then declare themselves "Buddhist yogis". Webinar disciples often do this. I even know a guy who went to one of the Dalai Lama's U.S. public Kalachakra initiations (abhisheka-s) and then started calling the Dalai Lama his guru. What a joke that was. He caught on after a while and stopped saying it. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "whynotnow7" <whynotnow7@...> wrote: > > In Vaj's case, he is obviously depressed and in denial about Tibet being fucked up, so he blames MMY for everything wrong in his life. > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, nablusoss1008 no_reply@ wrote: > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "whynotnow7" <whynotnow7@> wrote: > > > > > > Vaj's MO is to always keep the focus on Maharishi's relatively minor failings vs. having us notice the 400 pound gorilla in the room.

First he lost the country to China, then ran away as his countrymen and fellow monks were systematically tortured, imprisoned, and slaughtered, on the pretext of "fighting for a free Tibet" (from a distance, of course). That was over FIFTY YEARS AGO.I don't see Tibet getting any freer in the meantime, do you? In fact just the reverse. By continually agitating for rebellion, all the Dalai Lama has done is bring increasing hardships to his former people and ensure that the Chinese continue to crack down HARD on the Tibetan region. > > > > > > From a review of Tim Johnson's new book, Tragedy In Crimson (Nation Books ISBN1568586019): > > > "Tibet's exiled leader, the Dalai Lama, is a global moral figure but with a tragic dimension he captures worldwide fame and brings Hollywood figures to his side, but can do little to end six decades of repression against six million Tibetans living under Chinese rule." > > > > > > It is clear by now that Tibet will never be free. This is a monstrous and huge injustice by the Dalai Lama. However if Vaj can continue to turn our attention away from the millions slaughtered in Tibet as the result of the DL's misguided intentions and focus instead on how "TM doesn't work" and "Maharishi charges too much for meditation", he is accomplishing what he set out to do here on FFL and other forums. Don't look at poor, miserable, downright fucked Tibet. Instead focus all that misplaced anger and frustration on on MAHARISHI MAHESH YOGI. Yeah, that's the ticket! > > > > > > Vaj is a fraud and a liar. The guy never learned, practiced or taught TM. He has learned though how to build a fantastically distracting story about Maharishi and TM, attempting to mask Tibet's destruction as a result of the egomaniacal intentions of his hero, the Dalai Lama. Sorry Vaj, but WE SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU AND THAT KALI YUGA "MR. NICE GUY".
