This is a statement of amazing ignorance when comparing these two
traditions especially for someone parading themselves here as an
authority on buddhist and hindu yogas.
In fact, this single statement alone demonstrates and confirms that Vaj
is merely a spiritual hack. There is no other conclusion to make other
that that this puffed-up and incredibly shallow little I' parades
itself here on FFL solely for self-validation.
Maybe we can get one of the administrators to affix a caveat emptor
behind his name whenever it posts.
Even better - maybe I can scare up some real
Buddhists to populate this site for a few months.
On the other hand, that is a bit of a stretch since all the Buddhists I
know would never talk as he talks or act here on the forum in such a
way, (except for the personality-distorted or spiritually immature.)
Even most of them (19 year olds) would never posture themselves here as
he does.
It is all ultimately hilarious what a sham guru he plays himself
out to be. This seems to be his most intimate need here and any balanced
personality would be ashamed to delivered such posts. But Vaj keeps
illuminating us because he truly believes you are all too uninformed to
know the difference - so he invents and assigns what he thinks will
soundo-so-esoteric.
Caveat Emptor indeed, folks!
Can't we locate some groupies to come here to FFL and narcotize this
man's ponderous I?

Sorry, I meant to say Path of No More Learning--it's many
realizations beyond a stream enterer.
Emptybill, I read Vaj's post yesterday and I had no idea what he was talking
about. A Stream Enterer sounded like Alien Walk-in to me, so I looked no
further. You renewed my interest this morning and according to Google:
A stream-enterer is guaranteed enlightenment after no more than seven
successive rebirths, and possibly in fewer. The stream-enterer can also be sure
that he will not be reborn in any of the unhappy states or rebirths (an animal,
a preta, or in hell). He can only be reborn as a human being, or in a heaven.
The stream-enterer has attained an intuitive grasp of Buddhist doctrine
(samyagd#7771;#7779;#7789;i or samm#257;di#7789;#7789;hi, right view),
has complete confidence or Saddha in the Three Jewels of Buddha, Dhamma, and
Sangha, and has good moral behaviour (Sila).
Buddhist sure know how to get down to details, don't they? So what is the
relevance of the Wikipedia's definition to Vaj's use of the term Stream
Enterer and is he partly correct or totally incorrect?
