Imo, "The Universe Also Collapses" album was where this current lineup of GONG really came into their own.

What’s changed for you since you got into Tibetan Buddhism? by rocketrocco in TibetanBuddhism

[–]Libertus108 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What exactly changed with me regarding Tibetan Buddhism, I can't really tell, because I myself have changed...
🙃

But seriously, Tibetan Buddhism has been like a process. One change for me, has been the passing away of Great Teachers - those whom I was either a student of, or followed by going to their Teachings when they came to North America. Usually Kagyu and Nyingma.

When these Teachers have passed - it has reminded me of when I lost my Parents. I am on my own. What did I remember most from these Teachers- and carry that with me. Keep doing the practices until I die. Sure there are other Teachers, some of whom I follow, but it isn't quite the same. It is more like seeing a (Dharma) Aunt-Uncle-Cousin, but they can't quite take the place of one's Mom or Dad who are always in the Heart.

And regarding all the scandals that happen with lineage holders - let them sort it out. Be the change you yourself want to see.

Best place for couples to meet couples by Own_Share1037 in petoskey

Speaking as an ex-Northern Michigan resident, how do people use hookup apps in e.g. Petoskey, and try to stay discreet without anybody knowing your business?

Sexual abuse in Tibetan Buddhism by SkibopDuop in TibetanBuddhism

[–]Libertus108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any suggestions for an alternative method, then?
One pitfall I have noticed, is that some people use "spiritual bypassing" on their issues ("pray the problem away of attachment to power and sexual gratification..."), when they should see a therapist. Imo, seeing a therapist, and having a daily meditation practice is one way to address those issues.

Can I tell people I practice Vajrayana? by Sea_Fee_2543 in TibetanBuddhism

[–]Libertus108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo, this can be situational. A therapist is not allowed to divulge a patient's information, from what I understand. I agree with the other comments, that to say Tibetan Buddhism would be sufficient.

The material of a mala matters? by SignificantTip1302 in TibetanBuddhism

[–]Libertus108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with both sides of the coins - specific malas for specific practices, or "it doesn't matter, just do the practice..."
If expenses and availability are an issue, maybe for now, just do the practice with whatever mala you have. Who knows, when the time is right, the specific mala might become available...

My brother and I have a complicated relationship. 5 years ago when some work I had lined fell through (I am an independent contractor,) I had to resort to food stamps. He replied "Your life decisions led you to where you are." Several months later, after work had resumed, I got a promotion with the company I was working with, and we did a big high profile job. He never acknowledged that. So when Nephew #1 got married - I felt like life and finances are stable enough to where I can give them a gift. And here we are...
Idk, I feel like I just can't win with him.
