[Bewusstheit]

the buddha did not wanted to convice anyone - but tai situ is not the buddha. so we trust our own experience and think: this is no buddhist teaching but another advertisement for the chinese karmapa. to believe that what ones sees is called naive realism - an old philosophical topic. so, i ´m glad to be so aware of wrong teachings and wrong teachers.

[HHK17]

Urteilst Du selbst?

Have you met both 'Karmapas'?

Have you met Situ Rinpoche?

Or are you just repeating what your 'right' or 'wrong' teachers tell you.

You must think you're pretty enlightened to be able to proclaim Situ Rinpoche as a 'wrong teacher' ...

But hey - I guess I'd be doing a similar thing if I said your teacher is 'wrong'...

But at least (if it is Ole) I've met him...

Anyway - glad you're on the Buddhist path.

No need to get too distraced by the whole confusion.

Mind your mind

[Bewusstheit]

the teachings are so simple that this is even no buddhist teaching. the same teachings could have been made by a psychologist who tells us something about perception. sorry - but this vid does not convince me. he should have learned more from 16.karmapa but his pride prevents him form listening to his teacher. so, this is unfortunately just another advertisement for urgyen thrinle.

[HHK17]

When the Buddha gave a teaching, each of the listeners were hearing something different - each according to his/her level of understanding.

The Buddha never wanted to 'convince' anyone and always stressed that people should only trust their own experience...

So I'm glad this vid inspired you to sit down and meditate on time, impermanence, the instantaneous-ness of the mental prozess.

May your meditation be liberating.

From your own experience:

How was the 16th Karmapa?

What did he teach you?

[HHK17]

At first the Buddha was reluctant to pass on what he had learned, thinking that people would not understand. Finally, the devas Brahma and Indra requested that the Buddha teach what he had discovered. They explained that "there are those whose eyes are just a little covered with dust" who would understand. The newly enlightened Buddha was doubtful, but at last pursuaded.

[Bewusstheit]

I don´t think this is intelligent what tai situpa trys to explain...

[HHK17]

really?

[xxEyelessificationxx]

I feel like in Physicsclass :) Good Video.

@Bewusstheit That comment was really unnecessary and pointless. Well it did serve one purpose and that was to make your self feel good, special or important and to make others feel less than you.

6. There is one rule for those lower in the hierarchy, and another for those at the top. For instance, DW teaches that adultery is wrong (in common with authentic Buddhism), but at the same time, Ole Nydahl is known to have had affairs with several of his students, and had a mistress called Caty Hartung as well as his wife, Hannah.

[talawa777]

4. Questions or criticisms from members are dismissed and suppressed. The member is then made to feel guilty and told it is their fault. They are called 'spiritually weak'.

5. Diamond Way has it's own words and language, to separate members from the public. Words are also given new meanings. New members are also given fancy new Tibetan names to make them feel important and separate them from their old life.

[talawa777]

2. The manipulation of information. Books Ole Nydahl doesn't agree with or are critical of him are banned from the centres. Members are also discouraged from seeking teachings from any other source.

3. Abuse of members lower in the hierarchy by those higher up. This emotional (and sometimes physical) abuse is explained away as 'purification' and members are told it is simply their karma.

[talawa777]

1. The charismatic leader (Ole Nydahl) surrounded by groupies and Ole Clones. This is known as a cult of personality. He also has no authentic credentials, and is not qualified to hold the title of Lama. Ole only started using the title of Lama a few years after the 16th Karmapa's death, while claiming that the 16th Karmapa granted him such a title.

I do not understand some of the other commentators reactions, but perhaps that's because I'm not a Buddhist by religion but I am a trained and learning philosopheress.

LOL, this reminds me of rough nights with friends where if people start talking like he just did, I like it but other people start complaining: "Shut up and get stoned, would you."

[TheIxtlan]

A moment is buddha.

What you see a lightning in the sky, that is a buddha, what you hear the bird sing, that a buddha, when you touch rock, that is a buddha.  Everything is buddha.

[HumanRightsVideosTib]

Es hat nichts mit "chinesischen Karmapa" zu tun, im Gegenteil Karmapas Bilder sind in Tibet verboten. Also mit dem Argument ist ausgedient ein für alle mal.
