Who are the "Buddhist masters" this person has trained with?
There's really no information about any of this on the website for this Karuna group.
Thanks.

Radicalism requires a deep examination of total context not a rearrangement of furniture. The Titanic deck chairs and all that.

Harper though seems to recite slogans out of the American right's playbook and simply substitute the word Canada for USA. Better get SETI on it to see if there are any signs of intelligent life there.

I have also written about these complications elsewhere http://wp.me/pc8tJ-wT
The options for the Karmapa are very limited. They consists of staying in India, as a stateless refugee, with some restrictions, or going back to China and likely being tortured. Does your country want to sponsor him and piss China off? I thought not.

HH the Dalai Lama does not speak for all of Buddhism or even for a significant majority. He speaks for one small sect of one particular branch of Buddhism which is very definitely in the minority, in terms of numbers of followers, of Buddhism world wide. And even in that his authority is contested and not absolute.

A few questions:
1. Has his order changed the rules regarding monk's dating?
2. If not has he given up the robe?
3. Is that relevant to what he said in the video? (which I watched) Just seems like gossip.
I like him as a teacher a lot so it's not about snark. Just seeking clarification.

"We can learn to see the mind as a committee: the fact that unworthy impulses are proposed by members of the committee doesn’t mean that we are unworthy. We don’t have to assume responsibility for everything that gets brought to the committee floor. Our responsibility lies instead in our power to adopt or veto the motion."
Thanissaro Bhikkhu from The Road to Nirvana Is Paved with Skillful Intentions
Whatever committee we are on we will most likely not agree with everyone. And some we may unnecessarily give more credence to just because of their loudness, charisma etc. But we are the chairperson as well.

I contains such gems as:
"To put it briefly, Mr. Trivedi has an empirically demonstrated capacity to alter the atomic and molecular structure of phenomena simply through his conscious intentionality. " (psychokinesis in other words)
"According to Integral Theory, every state or type of consciousness is accompanied by a specific type of energy (gross physical energy, subtle bioenergy, causal spiritual energy), and so the emergence of this new consciousness should be accompanied by a new degree of energy along that spectrum." (Is this much different than the "ectoplasm" of the 19th century spiritualists?)
But of course we need to remember:
"This doesn't mean that this new Energy is for everyone."
So I guess those that can afford the seminars can afford the new improved energy.
