Association with Truth / Adyashanti

Adyashanti's nondual teachings have been compared to those of the early Zen masters and Advaita Vedanta sages. Expressing both the infinite possibilities and the ordinary simplicity of a spiritually realized life, Adyashanti's teachings are directed to those who are sincerely called to awaken to their true nature and embody this life-changing realization.

Adyashanti is good looking. But he would look much better with long hair. It's the dogma that makes him shave his precious hair. Dogma is not truth.

[tktoadE]

Which dogma are you referring to? The dogma that he prefers his hair short? Or the Zen dogma? Which he seems to have shed a lot of from my experience with him. I have never heard him encourage anyone that they have to wear their hair or dress a certain way to realize reality. I do hear him say often to relax and to do the "next most obvious thing", whether that be doing the dishes or go get a haircut or not get a haircut for example.

[tktoadE]

He teaches to accept(surrender to) Life as it shows up in all its different forms whether it be your preference for long hair or his for short hair. I find this to be very freeing of unnecessary suffering.

My directions weren't as good as I thought they were. The description box for THIS video is to the immediate right of the video that is playing. It has the "date added", "subscribe to", and then below that is the "(more)" button. Much love.

Do you want to hear lots more Adyashanti for free? Click the "(more)" button in the description section in the right-top hand corner of this page and you will see different links in blue. I personally enjoy the cd's that I have made from downloading these audio samples. Enjoy...

"The beauty of Self is that it's not a matter of acquiring anything, being held in high regard, or being seen or noticed. It's a matter of being the intrinsic beauty of what you are, that inner blessedness. To experience that deeply, just let it sink in, not as an answer but as a question: Could it be that this blessedness is what I am?"--Adyashanti

i love how everyone is making fun of adya and these teachings...i meen its funny...and im sure he wud think its funny as well but i feel like regardless of how ridiculous these philosophies sound there is still sumthing undeniably true in them

[woodlandjustin]

Gee guys, don't worry. Don't worry about "dogma" either. If someone shaved their hair because of their tradition, that shouldn't be a problem either. Being free from dogma doesn't have to mean not doing anything which can be connected to dogma. There's no need to be dogmatic, and so also no need I think to be anti-dogma.

It's all pretty funny actually. Anyway, he can't be enlightened if he has short hair right?

Thanks Adya, Thanks tktoadE for uploading. Much appreciated!!!!

Love

[ravkes]

Thank you for uploading this my friend, you have helped many realize that they didn't need any help in the first place. Everything is just as it is.

Much love,

:)

[Kitcomedy]

@cspace1234nz The fact that he is uploading it seems like it is free, is there anything you know contrary to this? I'm not claiming I know, it is possible he is a scam artist, the things he says and the ways he say them seem to transcend any type of normal BS

[cspace1234nz]

They all seem legitimate, they wouldn't get followers if they didn't have the right angle.

Rev. Jones and David Koresh all seemed legitimate at the start too.

Here's a thing....does he charge for what he does or is his teaching so valuable to a lost world that he dispenses it free of charge for all to share in ?

[Kitcomedy]

@cspace1234nz :s lol

what facts do you base that statement on?

hes seems quite legitimate

[jagara1]

You mean it's not a Royale with cheese, it's still a Quarter Pounder?

[cspace1234nz]

He's a slimey, greedy cunt out to make money out of people's stupidity.

[LeCanadienerrant]

Actually "jagara1" you put it quite rightly but not in as elegantly as Adyyashanti's words. This is what he is saying about awareness and confusion. " What the fuck ?"

You are on your way to awareness whether you like it or not !
