"Vajrayana meditation is a high-tech meditation. Everything has a meaning behind it, and a skilful means way of transforming oneself. So, in order to deal with our very very complex mind and complex thoughts I think Vajrayana is a skilful means way to transform all of this into positive thinking. "

Some people use psychedelics in search for spiritual attainments. Itโs easier to go on a mad 12 hour acid trip than to sit still and quiet for an hour. Funny how things work.

AI reconstruction of Dharma master An Shigao. An Shigao (ๅฎไธ้ซ) was a 2nd century A.D. Parthian monk whose real name was Parthamasiris/Partamasir who was d 1st translator of Buddhist texts into Chinese and an early Buddhist missionary to China. He is known by his pen name โShigaoโ but his name in Chinese was Qing (ๅฎๆธ
). Most foreigners from Anxi (ๅฎๆฏ) who took on Chinese names were given the prefix โAnโ to denote where they came from. Hence, he is known today as An Shigao. Anxi is the Chinese translation for Arshak i.e. Arsacid Empire of Parthia which was located in present-day northeastern Iran.

Sorry for the lack of OC lately, I would like to take this opportunity to encourage you all to engage more with your religious practice. Read scripture, practice your sadhanas, recite your mantras, it's better to engage with practice than to fill your mind with theory that you won't have any use of at this point in time. This year have been filled with new vows, commitments and the implication of having them, which I'm digesting slowly as time goes on. Also, don't forget to keep your physical vessel in a good condition as well. With that said, admin is wishing you all the very best! ๐น๐๐ป๐ฑ
