To all or none,

Presently there are 2 music partitions that bring me near Bliss,

Funny none are Buddhist related.The first is Sagnasse ,Thorns have their beauty in honor of Vishnu and Osho,
The second is a Krishna hymn called By your grace.

I find that love ,warmth harmony can be found everywhere.

In the last 15 years ,this nite was not marred with Terror nitemares.No one can imagine what a glorious morning this is for
me.
I beleive my recent readings,have helped a lot.Also having supper early and no munching in the evening might ,I say might be the reasons for this nite of total nothingness.

To all or none,

A few moments ago as I was typing a text,a hand kind of caressed
My back.Then the person appeared in front of me ,with eyes filled with Joy and Love.He wanted to wish me a happy good year.

I remember this person as ,the first times we met ,was a sufferer.
Dhukka was his bread and butter.He would rarely speak ,in spiritual meetings.
I believe that that listening paid of.He was the image of happiness.
If you are suffering ,do something about it.Read a book on a spiritual subject ,that you think might interest you,
.If you have to change your friends,or make friends.Do it

Definitively a Mahayana Buddhist

To all or none,

I am a very sensitive person.Why do you ask ,is he writing that?

Agora of Buddhism seems the most popular thread,mine ,I mean.
Buddhism is a very simple and at the same time complex
Philosophy/religion,depending on how much knowledge one wants to acquire.
I could say do ,or live the Noble eightfold path,and you shall attain Nibbana.Yet ,in my case,I like to know the mechanics of Buddhism.
Understanding our mind ,is up to know ,what I have found most useful.
Then there is Metta karuna,Samsara,dhukkà,and all.
If you are a bit curious,jump to
Understanding our mind.This commercial is paid for by Loong with love and a desire to share.

Can you tell me about that type of Buddhism ?

-- Burt B.

Hi Burt, I thought I would start on this one. Kagyu is one of the four main branches of Tibetan Buddhism, you can read a little about each here:

Four Branches of Tibetan Buddhism

They all share the same basic foundation as other forms of Buddhism - they are grounded in The Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path. All of Tibetan Buddhism is also part of Mahayana Buddhism, which means (among other things) that bodhicitta, or the generation of a true desire to help all beings attain awakening, is at the heart of practice and the vows that ones takes.

Beyond that, there are many differences in specific meditation practices and rituals between the four schools. These are considered a 'means to an end', not the end itself, so in general schools don't bicker about which practices are better or who knows 'the truth' as is the case between sects in other religions. In fact, many lineages across the four branches have strong partnerships, and a practitioner may take teachers within two lineages. Kagyu and Nyingma are especially connected historically and practically. But all are based on a strong teacher-student relationship, oral transmission, and direct transmission of teachings.

Wow !

That was Way Cool Lisa

Thank You

When did you write that?

Cheers,

Burt B.

To those who might be interested by what I write,I will be taking a rethinking time.
