Monks Debate

[Svetty00]

They're talking about metaphysical ideas, by the way... not about each other.

[artistdancing]

They tear a person down like this, in order to build them up again...like the military, like re-hab....it's just downright anti~social, ya ask me...hahahah.

There has got to be evolution among the worlds systems, so that we may EVOLVE

[artistdancing]

which makes finding things out, like these sort of "yur a dick~head fests" by the people you most respected, well...at least it makes me feel I am more balanced~

But I wish the WorLd Were MORE BALANCED

[artistdancing]

This is kind of trippy isn't it? I was so dissapointed in these monks when i saw this a couple of years back (maybe a few).

I see there is so much falability to even this system / structure...and Tibetan Buddhism seemed so cool before... for me, the seriousness of life is that NEARLY Everything seems a bit skewed,

as if we are not evolving~

and the greatest things, once looked into deeply...will have great flaws

Well, at least it is better than football because it keeps the mind busy.

But anyway, it is wasting away the life of these young men in useless philosophical debates.

In the meantime other people have to work on the fields so that these monks get their food

and can go on debating.

@ruzickaw you sound very enlightened :)))

[ruzickaw]

@srisrama I am enlightened as much as most of these tibetan masters pretend to be

[srisrama]

@ruzickaw ya ya....

I heard some monks explain this at a function in San Jose . The monks standing are arguing on the side of the doctrine, every time they clap it's a lightning flash of cutting through the other persons wrong views, the different things you see people doing with their arms hands all mean different things. It's pretty awesome.

thanks for this. I find it fascinating, and, oddly, inspirational.
