[Buddha-l] "Free and Easy" Vajra song

[Dan Lusthaus]

Instead of jeering Freud, it might help your practice to read up on what
returning to the womb, infantality, oceanic feeling, nirvana-drive, etc.
entails. Opium does the same thing.

Lama Gendun may or may not have been an exceptional being -- but encouraging
reverence for being comatose is not spiritual practice, no matter how purple
or yellow the robes that encourage it. Nor is it Buddhism. Everything is NOT
alright (all is duhkha), and there is plenty to be done, with effort and
zeal, until one has done what needs to be done (and if you are a serious
bodhisattva, only after that does the real hard work begin) -- fooling
yourself into thinking you've already reached the finish line when you're
dreaming about being nowhere is an arrogant hare's dream; sleeping on the
side of the road while the tortoise goes by.
