10 Easy ways to not get enlightened
By Loden Jinpa on Sep 11, 2007 in General
Am I silly or does this list make a whole lot of sense!
1: Don’t listen to your teacher.
2: Don’t put what your teacher has taught you into practice.
3: Don’t study the great texts.
4: Don’t meditate on what you have studied.
5: Don’t integrate what you have meditated on into your daily life.
6: Don’t pay attention during teachings.
7: Think that you know everything.
8: Think that your tradition is better than the rest.
9: Always look at what others are doing wrong.
10: Oh and of course to don’t forget to think…the Buddha was just plain wrong! I do inherently exist…

hello. i believe that you are doing a very good job in educating the young people on buddhism. its a wonderfull religion, and i loved reading your blog. i was confused, and i didnt even know what karma was, until i researched, and was fascinated about what kinds of things were inside the Buddhists heart.
thank you for the wonderful experience.
thank you for the kind words
