a gangbang on Vaj? that's rich. howabout people here are just fed up with his arrogance and pinning all of his woes on the Maharishi? how about people calling it like it is.
as for knowledge of the various schools of Buddhism, there are several here who know and have experienced far more than the fellow with the Vaj name. he is no teacher, believe me. he is a guy with issues and a funny name who quotes a lot of stuff in order to continue to hide in his tower of fundamentalist thought. wake up Kirk. you are a heartful guy, but you have conveniently closed your eyes to believe in a dream that is just that. yes, you are whining and a hypocrite. Vaj goes on and on and on, every single week, nearly daily, here for the two years you say he has been here; mishy mashy mahesh varma this and mishy mashy mahesh varma that, and at least six of us here start calling him on his bullshit, and all of of sudden you are whining and wringing your hands. as Barry would say, grow the fuck up. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Kirk" <kirk_bernha...@...> wrote: > > No actually there was clearly a gangbang on Vaj this morning and I find it > somehow shallow.
