A prime minister who wouldn't pick up a telephone to save the lives of eighteen Australians and no it didn't end well, a lady barrister spent 1fifteen hours in a room with Manis with every word listened to outside of that room, and she latter collected 38 bullets or fragments there of...a lot went on prior to those events in Martin Place and yes very sad ending
The Martin Place Sydney cafe was not actually a terrorist incidence, though I understand government prefer to call what occurred a terrorist attack. Given the background events that impacted on his non violent peaceful protest Manis engaged in, I wouldn't call it a terrorist attack at all.
Besides car running people over in Melbourne, a couple of shootings in Melbourne as well as other their and attacks carried out in Sydney its all beer and skittles over here.
Besides that, Malaysia has been fighting with Singapore and Indonesian president Widodo twice told Lee to get out of Singapore so he turned up here and tossed 62 billion on the table so he can house his military here in Australia. That the PM of NZ wore hijab surprised me...
I don't think gun laws in Australia did as much as the politicians would have everyone believe. Yes they removed guns from a lot city folks, but at the same time, China was flooding Australia with AK47's...
There are shootings every single day in Australia, nothing new about that...taking the guns off honest sensible people has left the countries security left wanting...we live next to the biggest Muslim country in the world, that used to be Buddhist...used lot of belief's before the current over the top threat i observe. PNG today AU tomorrow bound up in time...
I didn't hear a clear explanation about the three people also detained by police, but I think I heard mention one or more of those folks was / were armed, and were offering resistance against the mass murderer.
The seeds of our tomorrows never fail to turn up because once sown they are certain. Emotional bla bla bla always leads to knee-jerk reactions, politicians like to take advantage of chickens running around with heads chopped off more bla bla bla. Feminist often suffer from an uncontrollable emotional turmoil as there thought process if often far more emotional than with male rebirth. Some folks simply do things more mindful people wouldn't do, like entering Muslim mosques, or listening to other belief's prays, some folks guard the mind with good reason. Like in without causes = nothingness...
As you are likely aware HH Karmapa Lama's linage precedes HHDL linage, HH Karmapa linage goes all the way back to the time the third Buddha appeared on earth Shakyamuni Buddha. A brief look at the background of who the Shakyamuni Buddha was, the major events of his life, and the incredible legacy that he left behind for the world with the creation of Buddhism.
I dunno its to complicated Today’s Controversy in part Today’s controversy surrounding the deity refers to a particular brand of Gelugpa exclusivism that emerged in Central and Eastern Tibet during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, where the deity was considered to demarcate the boundaries of Gelugpa religious practice, especially in opposition to the growing of Rimé, literally “non-sectarian”. Many Gelugpas, as well as many Kagyupas, Sakyapas and Nyingmapas, began to follow the ideas of the Rimé movement, but conservative Gelugpas, especially Pabongkha Rinpoche, became concerned over the “purity” of the Gelug school and opposed the ideas of Rimé. Pabongkha Rinpoche established instead a special Gelug exclusivism. Different sources state that disciples of Pabongkha Rinpoche destroyed Nyingma monasteries or converted them to Gelug monasteries and destroyed statues of Padmasambhava.
HH Dalai Lama was first named Dalai Lama by the third Panchen Lama, "Ensapa Lobsang Döndrup" (1505–1568) a Tibetan Buddhist religious leader of that time. "Ensapa Lobsang Döndrup" was posthumously recognized as the third Panchen Lama.
The Chinese think they understand Buddhism, I understand chinese president is married to a tibetan born lady the Chinese don't even practice Mahayana Buddhism never lone understand it. The Chinese murdered the 10th Panchen Lama and then they kidnapped his incarnation when he was aged six years old reincarnate Gedhun Choekyi, the 11th Panchen Lama they have disappeared Gedhun Choekyi and his Father and Mother / family to.
The totally crazy Chinese communist government has appointed a panchen lama of there choosing which is quite crazy stuff....very crazy...because...
The 14th Dalai Lama is / has the continuous mind-stream of first Dalai Lama. HH Dalai Lama who is head of the Tibetan Mahayana school of Buddhism that was first was taken to Tibet by Athisha see: The Life of Atisha
I disagree Bodleing2 As the Dalai Lama is 14th incarnation protector of the four schools of the Mahayana Tibetan Tradition and one loose group outside the four schools disputes an point that the Dalai Lama disagrees with there interpretation, its quite simple they do not represent any of the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism full stop.
I do support Maduro the democratically elected president of Venezuela of course do, I support democracy you don't seem to mind living in a democratic country,
That's a blatant lie I have never supported the North Vietnamese invasion of the south however i have most certainly objected to the lying catholic's armies that were deployed against non violent Mahayana Buddhist teaching practiced throughout Vietnam, don't bother talking crap to me. I've already noted your gross dishonesty. As you are aware I do not support your grossly dishonest religious belief's and you'd be right in saying that I don't but sonny jim, i served in New Zealand army against communism in Vietnam that's likely be a lot more than you have ever done for the people of NZ.
It’s one of the great desert water systems of the world. Spanning three states and a territory, the Lake Eyre basin is a marvel.
A site displaying satellite images of the progress of flood waters heading into Lake Eyre that is certainly worth a look:
But it’s also one of the driest parts of the country. On the rare occasion when flood waters make their way to such barren areas the results are spectacular.
While many tourists flock to central Australia to see the sight of water flowing through the desert rivers and arriving at Lake Eyre, or Kati Thanda as it’s known by the land’s traditional owners, some of the best views of this natural wonder are to be had from space.
Piecing together months’ worth of satellite imagery, we tracked flood waters for hundreds of kilometres on its journey from the Top End to the lowest natural point of Australia: Lake Eyre.
I don't doubt they would know, but that doesn't mean they would mention anything that didn't suited not to mention. In Vietnam 1967/68 one 40 oz Bottle of Jack Daniels cost US$1-52cents (one dollar and fifty two cents) in the American PX any servicemen could buy and did!!
All governments, armies whatever , do whatever they determine necessary, for example it was admitted that at least part of Air America Operation was funded from the sales of Opium. There is not much that government across the globe wont do; pretty much all the time they play politics with the truth. There is something i've never figured out. During the American Civil War Troops on both sides stood x many yards apart, and simply shot each other, how bloody stupid...it defies logic and reason that any human being would willingly or could be, that stupid, thousands died...
I can't remember how many Jack Daniel and Coca Cola per night in Nam myself...how goods you memory?
Government probably knows as the company is admitting Spent Cocaine leaves are still been used in it's secret Coca Cola's ingredients. Surely you don't trust your government any more than any sane person here would "0"... Myself prior to posting I was placed on the NZ Navy Rum list a year and a half before that posting to Nam. Each day I had to parade before an Officer and drink my TOT of Navy Rum, every single day. Also we were ordered not to drink the water in Saigon we were ordered to drink booze instead....dunno what you were on mate!!!
In 1941, longtime Coca-Cola leader Robert Woodruff said that any person in uniform should get a bottle of Coke for 5 cents, wherever he is and whatever it costs the Company.
During WWII, a special group of Coca-Cola employees called Technical Observers supervised the shipment and operation of 64 complete bottling plants that distributed over 5 billion bottles of Coca-Cola to servicemen and women.
In 1943, General Dwight D Eisenhower sent an urgent cable to Coca-Cola requesting shipment of materials for 10 bottling plants. During the war many people enjoyed their first taste of the drink, and when peace finally came, the foundations had been laid for Coca-Cola to do business overseas.
Coca-Cola was invented in 1885 by John Pemberton, a pharmacist from Atlanta, Georgia, who concocted the original formula in his backyard. Pemberton’s recipe contained cocaine
As early as 1891, some Americans spoke out against the inclusion of addictive ingredients like opium and cocaine.
The drink's name refers to two of its original ingredients: coca leaves, and kola nuts (a source of caffeine).
From 1900 – 1929 opinion turned against cocaine, but Coke continued to use trace amounts of cocaine and “spent” coca leaves to maintain its flavor and trademark. Today Coca-Cola uses caffeine rather than cocaine. (SO THEY SAY)
Does Coke Still Have Cocaine in it? The current formula of Coca-Cola remains a trade secret, but we can confirm that a 1988 New York Times article reported the following: In a telephone interview from Coca-Cola’s Atlanta headquarters, Randy Donaldson, a company spokesman, said, “Ingredients from the coca leaf are used, but there is no cocaine in it and it is all tightly overseen by regulatory authorities.” Besides producing the coca flavoring agent for Coca-Cola, Stepan extracts cocaine from the coca leaves, which it sells to Mallinckrodt Inc., a St. Louis pharmaceutical manufacturer that is the only company in the United States licensed to purify the product for medicinal use. Thus, we can confirm cocaine can be used for medicine and the Coca plant has a long history with Coca Cola. With that in mind, Coke is a brand, and we don’t want to confirm or deny if they currently use “spent” Coca Leaves without an official source to cite.
Jacinda Ardern received Brenton Tarrant's manifesto nine minutes before New Zealand attack It showed him driving to the first mosque while listening to a song idolising Radovan Karadžic, who was jailed for genocide and other war crimes against Bosnian Muslims. The document says the attack was planned for two years and that although New Zealand was not the original choice of location, Christchurch was scoped out three months in advance.
"One might well 'ask questions' as to how a Christchurch 'City Dweller' justified to the licensing authority his ownership of automatic weapons." Think you will find he lived in Dunedin
Tarrant left Grafton around the time of his father's death in about 2011 A few months before his Western Europe trip, in late 2016, Tarrant visited Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia, where he stopped by historic battle sites, Bulgarian Chief Prosecutor Sotir Tsatsarov told Reuters. He returned to the region in November 2018 to tour historic sites of Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary. Tarrant also visited Turkey "multiple times and spent an extended period of time in the country" His suspended Facebook page also showed a post from Pakistan in 2018 in which he called the country "an incredible place filled with the most earnest, kind-hearted and hospitable people in the world," according to the Herald.
you just keep smiling jono, I'm pleased to hear that your Ok your welcome to message any time, check out Aust NZ forums picture thread I am still pretty much daily posting photos in that thread.
don't forget to water the seeds blow my blessings on them
Good morning jono I'm glad you were able to focus (i guess that's good way to express start of your day) GOOD your welcome. I observe my mind a best as i can all the time, I guard my mind, at the same time mindfully I track developing hostilities in international affairs and have done that over long period of time in the hope i am actually benefiting others. I believe i am well equipped to benefit others in that area, and I guess others might not understand how that is but some body better hehehe. Likewise I think you have had to observe your partners considerable suffering, and I should like to say that you helped me to understand the need to protect my gut after the complete break down of my digestive system. I sincerely thank you jono for the information you shared in the past because it greatly assisted my decision making in warding off gut leak. I think I'm Ok in that department, and I credit you (whether you knew it or not) for the considerable improvement in my state of health. I sincerely thank you jono
Thanks mate your welcome I find Lama Yeshe explanations very helpful, Lama Zopa had just taken over Spiritual Director FPMT from Lama Yeshe when i first started listening in Chenrezig Institute Queensland however his explanations seem so meaningful, clear almost as clear as HH Dalai Lama who also seems to my mind easy to listen to, even in written form. Its easy to get lost and so though I try to stay focused I don't do a very good job of it
my alter has photos of those i have taken teachings from which servers to help my forgetful mind...
Queensland senator Fraser Anning has been egged while speaking to the media at a political meeting at Moorabbin in Melbourne's south-east.
Footage of the incident shows a young man watching Senator Anning from the sidelines before he starts filming with his mobile phone, and then smashes the egg on the back of the senator's head.
In response, Senator Anning swings two punches at the young man, at least one of which connects with the young man's head.
A staffer for Senator Anning then separates the senator from the young man, while supporters of the senator tackle his attacker to the ground.
The young man was later led away by police.
A Victoria Police spokesman said officers arrested a 17-year-old boy from Hampton who was released pending further inquiries.
A fundraising page has already been set up to collect donations to cover the teenager's legal fees and to buy "more eggs".
Hi jono, Pleased to hear from you, it has been a long time. My post referred to the Mahayana view that its our own self cherishing that created our sufferings and we must also use the same mind to generate ever increasing happiness, the path is benefiting others... they hold a view that seeking happiness for ones self is only suffering bound up in time. No no misguided belief that i can detect, in fact Buddhism has been around for over 20,000 years.
But i respect your right to believe other, that's fine jono...
Its really a pity so many people don't seem to want to remember George Busk lies that lead to the attack on Sunni Iraq, that I believe has stirred up so much hatred across the globe. And still today we get to read crap about the Under USA Special Forces supervising the slaughter of over 12,000 unarmed prisoners of war...today's news: US bars entry to ICC members probing 'war crimes' in Afghanistan Mike Pompeo says US will deny visas to ICC members investigating possible war crimes by US troops in Afghanistan. 'Undeterred' The Hague-based court, the first global tribunal for war crimes, issued a statement saying it would continue to operate "undeterred" by the US action.
"The court is an independent and impartial judicial institution crucial for ensuring accountability for the gravest crimes under international law," the statement said.
"The ICC, as a court of law, will continue to do its independent work, undeterred, in accordance with its mandate and the overarching principle of the rule of law."
The US has never joined the ICC, where a prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, asked judges in November 2017 to initiate an investigation into alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Afghan national security forces, Taliban and Haqqani network fighters, as well as US forces and intelligence officials in Afghanistan since May 2003. Witnesses soon pinpointed the scene of the attack as the Masjid Al Noor mosque on Deans Avenue, a street that serves as the eastern border of the centermost part of the city. A man armed with an automatic rifle and wearing a bulletproof vest and helmet was reported entering the building and opening fire at random people. Australian PM labels senator 'disgusting' over Christchurch terror attack comments An Australian senator is being heavily criticized for lashing out at Muslim immigrants in the wake of the horrific shootings at two New Zealand mosques.
Queensland Senator Fraser Anning released a media statement on Friday afternoon, hours after the terrorist attacks at two Christchurch mosques. In it, Anning claimed while he was “utterly opposed to any form of violence” and condemned the actions of the gunman, he said the atrocity highlighted the “growing fear over an increasing Muslim presence” in Australia and New Zealand.
“While this kind of violent vigilantism can never be justified, what it highlights is the growing fear within our community, both in Australia and New Zealand, of the increasing Muslim presence.” Yet Afghan's pioneered travel in outback Australia since before federation, Muslim been round long time. Myself I think Muslim threatening others that disagree with there Islam teachings must stop and countries must stop creating wars for profit, our friend Ali is not our enemy and never has been the enemy is within...
I run Win7 64bit Pro operating system and used to use Chrome for all internet usage. However when Google started its war with Microsoft over https:// internet browser protocol I soon became victim of Microsoft expiring browser certificates...so moved to FireFox Midnight with Chrome as default search engine until FireFox started updating Google files in its browser that went to expired certificates. So swapped FireFox version then had to ditch Chrome for for Amazons Duck Duck Go as default search engine. Also I now use excellent Yandex browser, which is chrome based browser, its a particularly good browser for its safe banking function.
I think word Soul is very deceptive word to describe subtle-winds. One explanation that seems to make sense energy field is where our mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional characteristics are stored. A few people i've listened to use the word Chakra to describe our energy channels. The Tibetan teach our true nature is moving energy (subtle winds) which with careful meditation is found as an ultimate truth. For many years i have maintained my own commitment to observer my thoughts and watch feelings. I stopped listening to music a long time ago, i guard my mind and monitor my energy / feelings. I have followed the ongoing energy associated to some international affairs and defence related issues and other limited subjects developing instant awareness of change; a sort of six-sense as changes occur.
So I have my own delusions some formed from Vietnam experience and maintained still today. I have engaged to extensively studied in the Tibetan tradition, I have followed advise from my qualified Mahayana teachers and therefore in relation to the question expressed in the header of this thread expressing i think that OP asked "do you feel it?"! then I say i can, I do feel vibrations yes.

RE: China Investing. Who will replace the Dali Lahma 14. # 15 reincarnation possibly a woman.
sorry incorrect word usedAtisha completed his studies in Sumatra in Indonesia before returning back to India then Atisha taught in Tibet.
TsongKhapa understood Atisha's teaching and TsongKhapa activities led to the formation of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism.
