I'm starting to wonder if my 5 year dalliance with (and abrupt exit from) Vajrayana are a direct cause of my current malaise. I have a few major stresses and strains, a lot of confusion, a very disturbed mind, an almost total lack of concentration and a 'trapped energy wind' kind of feeling in my chest whenever I sit meditate. I felt allergic to the cushion for 3+ years and only now can face sitting in attention and awareness thanks to what I've come to understand via Unfettered Mind.<br /><br />Maybe practice is only just now getting real? That the above is just a pointless desire to understand the archers's name when really I should just sit, in attention and let it all work itself out?BuddhaManjushrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735806083613637800.post-81826109375818241122014-11-17T20:06:15.832-08:002014-11-17T20:06:15.832-08:00I have been waiting over 20 years for something th...I have been waiting over 20 years for something this clear and precise on the subject. I cannot thank you enough. I don't know if you feel comfortable doing this, but could you also speak to the phenomenon of western students entering into vajrayana through attachment to a teacher and later dropping deity practice due to the inability, unwillingness or lack of knowledge to come to terms with the symbolism and (possibly) the sorcery aspects of it. However, if one has a connection with a teacher, and deity practice is the prescribed means to sustain that connection (within the tradition into which one has been initiated), it seems to me that the method you describe here is a much more grounded way of dealing with the potential destabilisations that are the dangers of the method. Again, profuse thanks. May you live long. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735806083613637800.post-33160430497928276262014-11-16T08:20:26.489-08:002014-11-16T08:20:26.489-08:00Very timely ...
