My grandfather converted to Zen Buddhism after years of closeted practice when my grandmother, a Polish orthodox Catholic who had fled an occupied Poland.

Only when she died did he feel the freedom to take all her pope photos down & bring his secret basement shrine/altar (the basement was also his construction room so she would never have had any reason to be in there) to the upper levels 😮

I was an atheist; more of a scientist really and a realist- on a good day, I could be cautiously optimistic lol

Little did I know what I’d face in the decades to come ; and the series of synchronicities (or coincidences? 😅) that would take me down a path of Medicine Buddha & a Green Tara thangka lol. I converted completely to Mahayana Buddhism over 10 years ago now 🖤☸️🕉️🪷

Buddhism was one ideology developed by Bhagwan Buddha later gautam Buddha went on that path
There have been so many buddhas on this Bharat land and still there are so many buddhas walking around us and they are at Himalayan mountains especially at Kailash mountain

Sometimes it seems to me that Vajrayan has adopted the teachings of the Shaivite kapalika sect. It may be possible that the Buddhists took education from the Kapalikas and turned against the Kapalika Shaivism but adopted the deities. By occupying the Kapalik monasteries, he tried to teach Buddhism to the Kapalik followers, but he himself adopted their tantric rituals and teachings.Whatever may be said, there seems to be some relation between Vajrayana and Kapaliko. Because there are many Hindu deities in Vajrayana. And even after reading the story of Trilokiteshwar / Vajrapani and Umma Maheshwar, I see some truth in my guess.

[NummieDread]

Does anyone know his name? Who is this? I love his vibe! I need to know more <3

[josephmills-mwhs]

Where can I find full interview please

[codyking]

kuch bhi bhai...timeline to dekh lete. Theravada then mahayana then Vajrayana

[travisgunn]

Doing a bunch of tantric practices isn’t a shortcut lol, shakyamuni (nirmanakaya)points to Amitabha (sambhogakaya) siddhartha is guru/teacher amitabha is yidam/meditational deity, western pureland is your hope of not regressing, doing a bunch of mudras, thinking you grasp emptiness when you really don’t, tantric practices of visualizing buddhas, these things do not guarantee parinibanna, and you could end up going to a celestial abode and falling back into lower delusional states after that birth, even a lot of tibetan buddhist are starting to realize this

[Hyper_Facts]

Budda got Inspired by Samyak Darshan of sage kapil... Kapilvastu got there name by this sage....Sage Kapil Samyak Darshan is total similar of Tripitaka if you don't agree go and Read Samyak Darshan

[tivo]

I feel Mahayana is completely like Hinduism.
And Vajrayana is totally trantic.

[jegannathS]

Why is the monk speaking to nothing 😂😂

[Anant]

What hindu today is actually combination of vajrayan and tantrayan Buddhism

[Suman-uplw]

Vajrayana is heavily influenced by shaivism

[hnvnpue]

Avalokitesvara=Shiva.​ .. Buddha=Vishnu... Tara=parvati... Cundi=Durga.... Vajrayan=Hindu....

[vishalgaikwad]

Hinyan real Buddhism follow samrat ashoka

[uarmyhope]

Everything was good when Buddhism was only limited with Siddharth buddha and his past budhhas. Its Division and branches are deviding my mind too. Mahayana includes Hinduism in it and vajrayana includes trantric and shaman things its blasting my mind and creating trust issues with these two branches and their relationship with Main Buddhism(Hiyaan) or Therwada. I better follow the Buddha given by Dr Ambedkar 😅

[sameerbajracharya]

But, why do Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhist Monks and Nuns eat meat which violets the fundamental vow in Buddhist teaching? The Buddha might be sad to see today's practices.

[RanjanKumar-ivog]

Neather mahayan nor vajrayan best is navyan buddhism ☸️

[t--k.]

Heenyan is only reality... Heenyana is all pervasive not mahayana...
