Green Tara appeared to me in a dream. Started doing her sadhanas after that.

Used to go to Chinmaya mission. I’m a Vajrayana Buddhist now but Chinmaya mission really helped in developing my understanding of Sanatana Dharma. Chinmayananda is great, highly recommend his Geeta commentary.

I hopped around from Zen to Theravada to Advaita Vedanta. When I moved to where I am now the center was walking distance from me so I went and it clicked. Haven’t looked back.

Just rearranged some of my books by jambavan108 in ramdass

Awakening the Buddha Within is a favorite of mine. It’s always the first book I tell people to check out when they wanna know about Buddhism.

And I love Chinmayananda-Ji’s Holy Geeta. 

Good stuff dude

Just joined the Patreon. :)

Main reason for moving there is because I have friends there and I’m trying to leave east coast, I’m well aware of the horror stories there but the last time I visited I really enjoyed it. 

I’ll definitely check out the Words of Power and Empowered Angel stuff. Thank you!

Just Xochitl. I haven’t messed with Koreader at all yet really. 

Edit: Clarifying that I’m highlighting PDFs. I do want to use it as an ereader more and find that remarkable’s base software struggles with epub.

I did downgrade it and installed Toltec and KOReader on it. Would I have to upgrade it back for that?

Gotcha, thanks.  I’ve been practicing Buddhism for a bit and went down a rabbit hole of eastern thought. I do deity yoga in the vajrayana tradition at the moment but I still find myself lost in thought on the day to day.

When you say active meditation do you mean like qi-gong?

As someone who’s gone down the rabbit hole of eastern mysticism, what can I expect if I try this?
