Vag You should give up trying to convince TM practitioners by paraphrasing ol' Gelugpa Lati Rinpoche and Rama Linga Ding Dong.
As usual, your Buddhist Gelugpa idiot-olgy betrays you as a doctrinare. Go back to Shambhala, Maine and smoke some more chara-s. Then praise Shiva. You'll feel like you are going higher and higher. You can then tell everyone all about the "vastness" of your view. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj <vajradhatu@...> wrote: > > > On Jul 29, 2012, at 10:59 AM, Share Long sharelong60@... wrote: > > > Thanks.
