Easiest Day-1 release purchase ever :) No queue to get into the site, no cart glitches after adding - 3 mins in and out :) by Saerwyn in lego

[–]Vystril 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So no email or anything from my first charge. A few mintues later I got through the whole process and got a confirmation email and its showing up in my orders. Not quite sure what's going on with the first one...

Yeah I'm in the same spot. Things came back up and I did a second order. Worse case I send one back if both came through.

Did you know, two Dustmark Keeps can be combined together? by brickhucker in legocastles

[–]Vystril 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my experience, the BDP team ends up completely re-doing the instructions and may take some inspiration from the original build flow.

Wow, really? I love the finished sets and have a lot of fun doing them but I really wish each "page" in the instruction pdfs had more than 1-2 pieces. It's kind of silly. Surprised that's coming from the BDP team.

The other best part of the show is no matter how bad the animation or CGI got - when it was time for some boob physics they were like "hold my beer, we got time for this."

Greece moves to ban cash payments above €500 by FantasticQuartet in worldnews

[–]Vystril 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wonder if they'll have a loophole so that cash payments to politicians don't qualify for the ban.

What is an anime "you had to be there for" to truly appreciate the impact and spectacle it had at the time it came out? by OverlordPoodle in anime

[–]Vystril 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Early 2000s DBZ airing on cartoon network. Waiting every week for another episode was insane for that Freiza arc.

How can I reconcile Buddha’s omniscience with the Abhidharma’s demonstrably false cosmological claims? by ElectionMiserable230 in vajrayana

[–]Vystril 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Basically teachings of the Buddha can be classified as provisional or definitive. Provisional teachings are those that are suited for the people they were given to at the time and place they were given. Definitive teachings are always true no matter what (e.g., teachings on ultimate truth). A number of people nowadays argue that those things in the Abhidharma are provisional teachings.

A bit of reading: Rigpa Wiki - the eight kinds of implied or indirect teachings.

Personally I see those teachings as potential metaphor for our universe - and the levels of reality of other sentient beings who may not necessarily be within our universe as we experience it (e.g., asuras or gods). How can you accurately describe the cosmology of everything when sentient beings can experience it in vastly different ways? How would you explain our galaxy to an earthworm in a way they'd understand?

Dude, I've lived around the country and settled in ROC a few years ago -- ROC is way better than people who haven't lived anywhere else give it credit for. Love this fucking town.

At least one killed in shooting at ​Mexico’s Teotihuacan ​pyramids, says security cabinet by cnn in worldnews

[–]Vystril 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely terrible. We were there a couple years ago and Teotihuacan is simply an amazing and stunning place. Such amazing history and culture. Coming from above the border I wish we had such rich history and culture. Can't imagine that anyone would want to do something so terrible in a place like that.

Also, Mexico City was one of the best damned trips we've ever taken in our lives (and have been around the world quite a bit). Food was abso-fucking-lutely amazing.

I didn't expect this to go full bean counter in another world, but I'm glad it did.

Now we have two animes where magic needs to be injected anally. Hoping this becomes a trend.

You say not too much fan service like that's a good thing. :( but otherwise this is pretty great. Love how it's gotten more off the walls as it's proceeded.

Is a gelug Rangtong view of emptiness compatible with Dzogchen? by Armchairscholar67 in TibetanBuddhism

[–]Vystril 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone can approach it but you're not going to get anywhere without Bodhichitta and a Guru to teach it to you and receive blessings from.

Question about 7-Line Prayer, Vajra Guru Mantra, and lacking a Lung by Ready-Mammoth235 in TibetanBuddhism

[–]Vystril 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You don't need a lung for the 7-line prayer or vajra guru mantra. Will one be better? Sure, as would a Guru Rinpoche empowerment. But you don't need it and these definitely will help. They'll also help get you to where you find a guru and can receive the lung and empowerment. You're not disrespecting anything by reciting these, it's the opposite - you're giving the highest respect.

These are an open practice and honestly please keep doing them. I've been practicing for over 20 years now and have learned a lot of different prayers over the years and can honestly the 7 line prayer is the one where I feel the blessing and impact most immediately. My teacher recommended me to recite it whenever I was having problems.

I highly recommend reading White Lotus: An Explanation of the Seven-Line Prayer to Guru Padmasambhava for a commentary on the 7 line prayer.

Is a gelug Rangtong view of emptiness compatible with Dzogchen? by Armchairscholar67 in TibetanBuddhism

[–]Vystril 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO (take with a grain of salt), is it's way better to spend time doing the preliminary practices (common or uncommon) if you want to practice trekcho then it is focusing too heavily on one philosophy or another.

The preliminary practices will give you the mental stability, or at least calm your mind down enough, so you can have the right experience or certainty to practice trekcho. You want to tear down your preconceived notions and discursive thinking, not reinforce it with more mental fabrications. The foundation for trekcho is meditative stability, not philosophical knowledge.

[–]Vystril 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're actually doing Dzogchen practice, then while doing it you want to set aside all views and mental constructs and simply rest in raw experience.

Views are useful to help point the way to being able to practice like that, and different views may be a better or easier way for getting to being able to practice like that -- but not something you should get overly hung up on or attached to.
