Oh yeah ... endless repetition of bija-s - sometimes
coordinated with the in-breath/out-breath or both together.
That is what passes as "Tantric meditation".
Nowadays, after MMY, all these Tantric gurus have been
pushing "effortless" observation of the mantra as the
meditator goes Japa Japa Japa.
What deviant gomâya.
I just love this exciting dueling of the meditation
systems; leaves me adrenalized, breathless, fascinated.
Monster trucks anyone?
Especially when you have someone who really doesn't even
know what TM is trying to play the game. What next?
Hold on, did you say Emily? It was Empty who wrote that
other post.
My bad, it was Empty. But he should know better.
I don't know what he knows exactly, better or otherwise. He
spouts all sorts of emptiness about some book learning he's been
engaged in for what must be eons but what good it has ever done
for him is not evident from his posts. He appears bitter, jaded,
sarcastic, cold and otherwise pretty miserable. Maybe he needs to
go out and get his stagnant blood flowing, take a big whiff of
something pungent or down a bottle of Gewurtztaminer. Who knows?

Maybe he wanted to be a scholar, but he found out that in order to be
one, you need to know how to read and write and understand Tibetan.
And, Sanskrit, Japanese, German, and Chinese. Once you've mastered
those skills, you can read from some primary sources. It also helps if
you take a History or World Civilization course at a community
college. That would be a good start. It takes about six to eight years
to earn a Ph.D. in Religious Studies at the Center for Asian studies
at UT. Go figure.
What about experience? Why not experience the teaching rather than
pontificate about what you've read about it? But yes the favorite
pastime of many FFL'ers is "intellectual masturbation." :-D
But then FFL is beginning to sound less like a "Funny Farm Lounge" and
more like a rest home for crotchety elderly baby boomers. Go figger.
