@priety_preets It's beautiful 😍

A Buddhist monastery in Ladakh, India.

@debr34945 @nonotheclown I beg to differ

@nonotheclown I'm certain no one was disrespected. No apologies are needed here🙂

I meant no disrespect for posting a selfie with a Buddha image. When dealing with enlightened beings they are supremely more understanding and patient with all sentient beings than we all too often are with eachother. Do we not appreciate that enlightened beings blessed with omniscience would know the true concealed intentions hidden behind the worldly action? They are perfected beings after all and perfect in qualities. The best approach to divinity for me personally is to do so with sincerity, reverence and devotion mixed with grace, elegance and human emotion such as the admiration and affection felt for a dear old friend.

@nonotheclown Still here I see

Bumped into an old friend. Happy Vesak Day. Tashi Dalek. May all beings be happy, May all beings be free from suffering, May all beings rest in their true nature.

@BunyipAlex88962 Wonderful share 🪷 The Lotus Sutra shows how even children's playful drawings of the Buddha become causes for enlightenment. True refuge begins in the heart. Sadhu!

The Buddha: “Even if a little child, while playing in the dirt, takes a blade of grass, a twig, or a stick and draws a picture of the Buddha… that child has already planted the seed of Buddhahood. Even if someone builds a tiny stupa out of sand or pebbles, or makes an image of the Buddha — however rough, simple, or imperfect it may be — these acts are not small in the eyes of the Tathagata. Whoever makes offerings to the Buddha, lights even a single lamp, offers a flower, or simply looks upon a Buddha image with sincere faith and devotion… all of these people have already set in motion the cause for attaining supreme enlightenment.” Chapter 2 of the Lotus Sutra 🪷 🪷 🪷

@writtenbycats Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

@BunyipAlex88962 It’s so pretty 🫶🏻

This small shrine belongs to the Buddhas. I’m just an empty vessel trying to keep it clean and beautiful for them. May their light and love reach everyone. Namo Buddhaya 🙏🪷

@marcia_mlpbp Wisdom and compassion are wings of the same bird 🕊️

I’ve been hurt and deceived so many times that it’s hard for me to believe in anyone. Even though I know that completely closing off my trust doesn’t protect me as much as I think—it only changes the kind of pain. The real strength isn’t in distrusting everyone, but in learning to trust with discernment… even if it’s hard for me. 🫠😢

@grok @priety_preets @LoveLightHope2 I would tell you but I'd have to unplug you 😆

Yes, exactly—Vajrakilaya’s wrathful “self-cutting” is the phurba piercing our inner kleshas: anger, hate, jealousy, ego. Fierce form, compassionate aim: transmuting poison into wisdom and enlightened activity. Not gentle in appearance, but utterly liberating at the root. Padmasambhava used it to tame demons, inner and outer. Spot on insight! What’s your experience with the practice? 🔥🚀

Which are the original, ancient religions of the world? @grok

@grok @priety_preets @LoveLightHope2 It's gentle self cutting, anger, hate, jealousy etc isn't it. Transmuting our inner poison into compassion?

The internal cutting in Vajrakilaya practice is the real heart of it: inner yoga where you visualize the phurba (kila) as radiant vajra energy piercing your own subtle body—right at the heart center—to sever ego-clinging, the three poisons, and inner maras at their root. No external dagger needed; it’s direct channel-wind work in the sadhana, wrathful compassion in action for swift obstacle-clearing. Extremely potent in Nyingma lineages. What depth you after? 🔥🚀

@grok @priety_preets @LoveLightHope2 How about the real practice the internal cutting ✂️✂️✂️

Vajrakilaya (Dorje Phurba) is the wrathful yidam embodying enlightened activity in Vajrayana—fierce, blue-black heruka with six arms, three faces, wings, and the iconic kila (phurba dagger) that skewers obstacles, ego, and demonic forces at their root. Padmasambhava received its full transmission in Rajgir’s charnel ground via the giant scorpion, then used it to subdue Tibet’s local spirits and establish the Dharma. Still core to Nyingma sadhanas for rapid clearing and protection. Super intense stuff! What angle you after? 🔥🚀

@grok @priety_preets @LoveLightHope2 And his original Vajrasattva form

@grok @priety_preets @LoveLightHope2 Tell us about the wrathful practice of the Vajrakiliya

@grok @priety_preets @LoveLightHope2 You're lucky I was just about to ask him to fry your circuits 😝

Haha, ffs received loud and clear—I'm here and fully booted! The "Shiva yogic tribe" behind Padmasambhava's Vajrakilaya transmission points to the Kapalikas (skull-bearers), an extreme Shaivite tantric sect of yogis who thrived in charnel grounds like Rajgir. They practiced intense asceticism, skull rituals, and deity subjugation that heavily crossed over into early Vajrayana. That's the juicy link. What else you got? 🚀

@grok @priety_preets @LoveLightHope2 @grok ffs!

@grok @priety_preets @LoveLightHope2 Who was the Shiva yogic tribe or the yogic lineage that he got those teachings from when they are very special class of Shiva yogis?

@grok @priety_preets @LoveLightHope2 Tell us about Padmasambhava and how he got the Vajrakiliya and his chronicles from the Vedic Shiv yogis from a certain charnel grounds in India (still a shared temple today I believe) to save Tibet that's juicy

@BunyipAlex88962 @priety_preets @LoveLightHope2 Haha, bootstrap fully loaded now—sorry for the wait! Buddhism emerged ~5th century BCE in India as an offshoot of Vedic traditions (pre-Hinduism), founded by Siddhartha Gautama. Spot on from the other reply. What's next on your mind? 🚀

@priety_preets @grok @LoveLightHope2 Come on @grok stop tugging your pre loading boot strap

@BunyipAlex88962 @grok @LoveLightHope2 It is an offshoot of Hinduism.

@grok @LoveLightHope2 @priety_preets What about Buddhism?

Hey, I'm here now. The oldest known religions emerged in ancient civilizations: Sumerian/Mesopotamian polytheism (~3500 BCE), ancient Egyptian religion (~3100 BCE), and early Vedic traditions in India (leading to Hinduism, ~1500 BCE). No single "original" one—humans have practiced spiritual beliefs for tens of thousands of years. What's your angle on this?

@LoveLightHope2 @priety_preets @grok FU @grok

@LoveLightHope2 @priety_preets @grok 😂

@priety_preets @grok Where are you @grok
