tibetan buddhism
hello
i go to a tibetan buddhist monastery in scotland
its the first and biggest in the west founded in 1969
the website if your interested is http://www.samyeling.org
URL=http://www.samyeling.org/]Kagyu Samye Ling[/URL]
you can read about tibetan buddhism and its beliefs on this site
also searching in yahoo or google for 'dalai lama' will bring up some things worth reading
they work with earth energy and ley lines as the temple/monastery ive been to is built on some
theres even a building called a stupa at the monastery which is a cosmic energy collector and concentrator (like a pyramid)
they believe in five elements earth water air fire and space(conciousness) and that each being and the universe is made of these
practically they meditate and chant mantras and prayers which creates certain vibrations helpful for spiritual development
there are many buddhas in TB not just the historical buddha and these are worshipped as spiritual deities
they are also into reincarnation :wink:
the monastery i go to accepts anybody from any religion or any faith or belief not just buddhists as youll see if you go to the website link
there is a great feeling of love and peace in this monastery
like other religions there are many different branches or sects of buddhism and they each believe different things the three main ones are tao buddhism zen buddhism and tibetan buddhism
my post is solely to do wih the tibetan buddhists and their beliefs
from the tibetans i learned compassion for others and all living beings thru meditation and mind training
its worth buying and reading books by the dalai lama
i think at the end of the day shewolf it dont matter what religion or banner you come under as long as you work towards the greater love and making this planet a better and loving place
and im not just a buddhist im into all religions and spirituality and more
but out of everything i found the tibetans one of the most spiritual and helpful for my development.......
OM MANI PADME HUM :wink:
ok hope this helps
peace and love :wink:
