The gods may bring boons in the form of material wealth, but they cannot bring one into the siddha field - they do not have that liberating insight. The gods, for all their power, do not see things the way a buddha sees things - a buddha is awakened. The Gods concern is with this world while siddhas are concerned with the transcendental field. > What a mess. > That's because his teacher, Dr. Lenz, didn't know very much about the history or practice of Tibetan Buddhism, although he wrote a book about surfing in the Himalayas. Go figure. It looks like the Truq didn't follow up very much on the study part either, or the practice, although he has said he has tried mind-fullness meditation. Go figure.
