    Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, from Work, Sex, Money: Real Life on the Path of Mindfulness, In working with others, the approach of genuine spirituality is to just do it, just help. If you are relating to others unskillfully, you'll be pushed back. A direct message is always there. If you are relating with things directly, there will be direct messages coming toward you automatically. It happens on the spot. This could be called genuine mystical experience. More »

    Fearless Surmang Paid Member

    Posted by Monty McKeever on 15 Dec 2010
    When you are frightened by something, you have to relate with fear, explore why you are frightened, and develop some sense of conviction. You can actually look at fear. Then fear ceases to be the dominant situation that is going to defeat you.  Fear can be conquered. You can be free from fear if you realize that fear is not the ogre. You can step on fear, and therefore, you can attain what is known as fearlessness. But that requires that, when you see fear, you smile. -Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche The word Surmang both refers to a region of eastern Tibet as well as a group of monasteries of the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism within that region. The traditional seat of the Trungpa tulkus, Surmang has been the home of countless dedicated practitioners and advanced Vajrayana masters. More »

    Buddhist Teachers on Facebook Paid Member

    Posted by Monty McKeever on 27 Jul 2010
    A 10-second history of the internet: First, there was a Big Bang (millions of individual little websites spewing out randomly into a vast virtual cosmos) followed by a Big Crunch (everybody slamming together onto social networking sites) then evolution (various websites fighting for survival and the top spot in a brutal Darwinian mess). In recent years, Facebook, having all but slain its feebler and shallower rival MySpace, has emerged the victor in this evolutionary struggle and now boasts over over 500,000,000 active users, about one eighth of the entire planet's population. Certainly, there are both benefits as well as dangers that come with the internet and social networking.  Among the benefits is that we can now instantly share information and ideas and stay connected with vast numbers of people like never before, but this goes hand-in-hand with one the site's biggest dangers: It is a highly discursive place.
