... was Lama Ole Nydahl: Hannah in a Male Form?
Was Hannah Nydahl: Ole in Female Form?
... is it a form of Union, learning from each other?
How about this Lama Ole Nydahl's current wife?
... no disrespect meant at all, as much as we can.
... is identification too powerful method ?
... is wisdom more important than power ?
... can wisdom alone survive against stupidity armed in 'weaponry', either inner or external?

Understanding Suffering, Developing Compassion.
Introduction.
Buddhism can be seen as the Way on which one develops Wisdom & Compassion.
... i think that the important part of Wisdom development is understanding suffering, not only theoretically but also by experience.
Suffering can take many forms, from poverty to loneliness, to physical or mental illness.
... i think that those who do not understand poverty do not see need to share, do not understand Dana.
... it's also the Buddhist truth that 'karma returns', that we'll be sooner or later experiencing our good deeds and bad deeds returning to us.
Every of our actions on Mind, Speech and Body levels seeds karma for our future.
In Buddhism, Compassion should extend not only to others, but also to oneself. Without including oneself in an act of compassion, compassion is stupid and not complete.
Blog author's experience.
Today i've shared 20 PLN with an old woman who begged on the streets, she asked for mere 0,05 PLN.
... 20 PLN is not small amount for me - it's about the price of a good meal, or many, many, many of poorer meals - and i do not tell this to brag, but to make people understand, that one can give or help in small ways as well.
She told me to: 'Go with God'.
i've explained that i am Buddhist, but i also respect / Catholic / Church.
She asked me: 'Will you go with God?'
... i've answered: 'Yes, but not fully'.
She thanked me for that.
Church's wisdom is: 'do not do to others what you do not like for yourself', but abstaining from doing harm is often not enough, i think.
i think one needs to alleviate harm, and to protect against harm, as well.
... i think we Buddhists do not want to give others impression that 'we are so developed that we don't understand problems of a common man or woman'.
... i think that understanding suffering can be an answer to a question: 'How to practice Compassion?'
That way, as Wisdom about suffering is developed, one can more skilfully practice Compassion - the first part of the Four Immeasurables Practice.
... i think that people who wish others harm 'should learn', should understand suffering they are putting others into - not only theoretically but also by experience.
... how to give 'bad people' such lessons in a beneficial way?
... how to avoid anger, hate, revenge?

Understanding Saudi Arabia.
About.
i am not an expert, but i have something important to say.
i think many of our Karma Kagyu Sangha Oppose Saudi Arabia & Islam too much.
It's not as obvious as it seems, for our talks are a form of relations, a protocol - i think, to transform Karma for benefit of all.
Yet, it's still too much in my opinion.
Islam is not the Cause of Terrorism in my opinion, i think the Main Cause of World's Terrorism is Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.
Poverty & Desperation are also Causes of Terrorism.
Saudi Arabians are mostly poor, their most precious resource is Oil - but it will deplete eventually.
i think Arabians & Muslims invest in Education, so they have something to offer when other Resources are depleted eventually.
i think this is mostly for the better to support them in this type of fight.
But i think there are other Resources they have, for example - Sand used in Silicon Production, Silicon is used in Computer Parts production - among other things, as well.
i am not Enemy of Islam & Muslim Nations, only of the Terror & Inquisition.
Terrorism is not only Islamic, however.
Wishes.
May all beings have happines and causes of happiness,
May they be free from suffering and the cause of suffering,
May they always experience true happiness, which is totally free from suffering,
May they remain in the great equanimity, which is beyond attachment and aversion.

Understanding Other, Esoteric Ways.
Introduction.
While Buddhism is the most important part of this blog author's Spiritual Ways, there are other - Esoteric Aspects - as well.
Word 'Esoteric' can be understood as 'following other Spiritual Path than my own' - in a context of this article, i'll use this meaning.
Blog author's Spiritual Ways.
Most important Spiritual Ways, arranged by how much i care & prioritize my efforts are:
1. Buddhism.
2. Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
3. Wicca/Witchcraft - Mostly Gardnerian.
4. Parts of the Catholic Church (but certainly not a modern inquisition).
... in a future i plan to learn about other spritual ways - including Hoodoo & Voodoo, as well.
About, Goals, Methods & blog author's approach.
1. Buddhism.
Goal of Buddhism is Liberation & Enlightenment, dissolution of ego & full realization of Mind's potential.
This can be achieved using many methods, including Wisdom & Compassion development, including the Noble Eightfold Path as well.
2. Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
'The Golden Dawn is one of the most influential and respected system of magic in the world. Over a century old, the teachings of this once-secret society are considered the capstone of the Western Esoteric Tradition.'
-- Quoted from 'The Essential Golden Dawn. An Introduction to High Magic' by Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha Cicero.
(the meaning of word 'Esoteric' in this quote, differs from one used by blog author in this article).
Goal of the Golden Dawn is union with God.
This blog's author wishes to achieve this goal, then resign from it & return to the Buddha's Way. Reaching union with god, as well as preparing for it will help me understand the Golden Dawn better, their needs & thinking - so esoteric politics with them won't be 'oversweet & meaningless'. i plan to help the Golden Dawn even after that still.
Methods of the Golden Dawn are Scientific Study & Ritual Practices. Most notably modern Golden Dawn uses the Enochian Magick & the Hermetic Quabbalah. Golden Dawn members say that their Order has 'Scientific Methods & Spiritual Goals'.
3. Wicca/Witchcraft.
Wicca worships the Triple Goddess (typically comprised by the Virgin, Mother, and Wise Woman/Crone) which is associated with the waxing, full, and waning moon phases.
They also worship the Horned God, also known as Herne. This God and Goddess pair are sometimes given specific names and sometimes so revered as only to be named in ritual, simply called the Lady and the Lord.
Wiccans believe that for the Divine to be complete and whole, it must be both male and female.
All gods and goddesses, even of various faiths, are accepted as different aspects of one greater Divine Power.
Like in other forms of Paganism, Wiccans also worship nature as divine.
Wicca teaches reincarnation, in which the spirit is reborn to meet again the people with whom they had close personal connections in previous lives.
Unlike other reincarnation beliefs, Wiccans believe that the goal is not to escape reincarnation on earth but to enjoy experiencing life repeatedly until the spirit has learned everything it possibly can.
Once this has happened, and the spirit no longer reincarnates, it enters a blissful realm called 'the land of youth' or 'summerland.'
Methods of Wicca/Witchcraft include spellcasting, meditation (different from Buddhist meditation), prayers & holy rites.
This blog's author wishes to reach the Wiccan Summerland, stay there for a while, then resume Buddha's Way. As with the Golden Dawn's goal, it's mostly to understand their needs, thinking & way. i also plan to help the Wicca/Witchcraft even after that as well.
4. Parts of the Catholic Church.
Goal of the Church is to go to Heaven & be close to the God - after one's death. To achieve this, Catholics try to do the good deeds & believe in the God during their lives.
This blog's author had mixed experiences with the Catholic Church. While many were hypocrites only pretending to be good, but in truth uncaring or abusive - there were also very good people internally & externally. i just can't ignore the good & help that at least part of the Church did for me, to be honest with myself i wish to repay the karmic debts with them.
Respecting other ways.
i think we should respect each other, should try our best to protect ourselves & each other, should try to understand ourselves & each other, should try to befriend each other as well.
Truth is what brings together instead of separating, but Honesty is important as well. i try to be honest, even if i'm not perfect that way as of yet.
i strive for Alliances or even better Friendships, i strive to represent our Sangha's side - while understanding other Ways, their conducts & their needs, as well.
i hope that Sangha will respect my karmic connections as well. Empty, oversweet words in presence of friends - but without backing them with thoughts, words & actions when friends are not there - are harmful to relations i think.
Wishes.
May all beings have happines and causes of happiness,
May they be free from suffering and the cause of suffering,
May they always experience true happiness, which is totally free from suffering,
May they remain in the great equanimity, which is beyond attachment and aversion.

Understanding Fear of Sects.
Introduction.
i feared for long time, feared to speak as well.
now i think my understanding grew past fear & regrets, now i think that my wisdom & compassion lets me share my experiences in a sane form, without slanders, for benefit of all.
... it is a Buddhist Lesson that disturbing feelings - as fear or regret for example - dissipate after one recognizes their true nature, afterall.
Fear & Warnings.
when i had mental & life crisis, i went to a Stupa House Buddhist Center to meditate & learn, to meet new Friends as well.
i was both seduced & afraid, as company was great, yet the Catholic Church warned about Sects in Media as hell.
i think people fear of unknown & danger, especially when it's seductive & fascinating as well.
Church warned mostly about most dangerous sectarian weapon 'Freezing & Heating', but also of other ways.
Meditation.
with Meditation my mind opened, i understood & confronted my ego as well - i struggle with my ego still.
after a first few months meditators displayed me 'Heating & Freezing' method, it was a very strong experience.
at first, i thought it was sectarian weapon used against me, for my errors & sins, or a display of power at least - i wasn't sure which in fact.
i landed in a Mental Hospital afterwards, had about 5 years of bad-karma break.
then i came to meditate again, risked boldly as i felt that my life has no meaning without Enlightened Love; i was prepared to die, i was prepared to suffer with a Sect as in hell for a time - for a Love.
i met a young Buddhist woman during one of Buddhist Lectures, we meditated together, i fell in Love with her.
after a little practice i thought that 'Heating & Freezing' was a purifying experience, not a sectarian weapon - just a 'karmic backslash' instead.
now, after years, i think it's both a warning, a purifying experience, a mystical weapon use, as well as inspiration, transmissions of methods as well.
Denial.
i am denied Meditation at a Buddhist Center, now i think i understand why - even if at first i felt i was uncaringly 'ditched away to die alone'.
... Buddhist Lessons are Precious, they cost, mostly our time of a support & help; if i stayed too long the price would be too great - this would make me die.
also i understand that differing lessons are for different beings, too many of abstract lessons lead to confusion & time waste, as well as to stupidity at that.
also i know that Meditation is a Powerful Method that 'digs' bad karma from subconsciousness, one has to purify it as well.
if i faced too much of bad karma at once, it would be too much ... too many purifying experiences, too many of pains.
purifying experiences are not always painful however.
Understanding Fear.
before warning of 'Heating & Freezing' i felt i committed karmic errors & sins.
i was afraid that i transgressed too much, that i knew too much of their 'Evil Secrets', that a Sect will not let me go because of the danger i pose, as well as because of my sins.
in fact i never was a threat, and my knowledge was very shallow as well.
now i share, hoping it will Protect, both Buddhism, as well as their so-called 'Victims', sparing them both lost time.
it's not a slander, i hope, it's a Honest Truth form that explains in simple words, it's aim is to bring together people as well.
What is a Sect?
i think a sect is a group of religious protest, a group that separates.
