What makes a Complete Human Being

  • In Vajrayana Buddhism, vows like the Six Session Guru Yoga are considered binding until death, but you can restore broken commitments through practices like Vajrasattva or by consulting your teacher.

    You always have to be realistic in the modern World and in-spite of the Romanticized Nature of Vajrayana, realize that genuine Guru would not judge or call Disciple names. If you speak two or more languages, but your Guru does not bother learning more than one - be realistic, as well.

    Respect your own background and culture before throwing yourself unconditionally 100% into foreign Spiritual Dreams. Especially, if Dharma or any Eastern practices where never part of you childhood. Eastern culture is CULTURE FIRST, before anything else. It is the lifestyle associated with this believe systems, not in reverse.

    I have seen the difference in offering practices to sponsors: one Chinese and one American. They requested to charge … Americans sponsors twice more. It is part of the EASTERN CULTURE. And you no what? They did a right thing. They risking sharing their secrets and it is appropriate to charge for “inner security”, Tantra it is not part of traditional America culture.If you don’t understand this you will get upset and leave, right? But, if you do, because it it your culture toy will happy accept the practice and initiation with no regard to the cost.

    And remember: you will NEVER be able to truly COVERT a MONGOL, CHINESE, RUSSIAN, TATAR or TURCS into any other Western culture 100%, period. They had a deepest past entangled history in Eurasia more than any other culture in the World ever had. This will forever run through their bloodlines.

  • If the guru is untrustworthy, you are not required to maintain the vow - especially if the relationship involves manipulation or abuse. The student’s safety and integrity come first.

    Silence is a valid response, if a guru demands something unethical, or if your Guru calls you mentally ill …. It is recommended to search valid authentic Gurus instead.

  • In general Buddhist thought, breaking a vow due to a flawed guru is not inherently a spiritual failure. The key is sincerity and intention.

    If you took vows without proper discernment, or prior to analyzing and researching the Guru’s background, you can reaffirm your commitment to the Dharma with a new, qualified teacher. Focus on inner integrity, ethical conduct, and support from a genuine sangha.

  • Ultimately, you are not obligated to remain under an unfit guru. Your spiritual well-being and moral clarity should guide your next steps.

    Seek counsel from trusted, qualified teachers or communities to ensure a safe and authentic path forward. It is absolutely fine to break relationships with people, who consider your practice mental illness, after they taught it?! If you paid substantial sponsorship fees for the teachings it is ok to request a full refund and never to return.

    Just say: “He is no longer my Guru, but I will remain with the deity through the valid teacher” and move on.

    Main point is - if you understand Empty Nature of the Mind, not just assume you do and fake it, you will know what and how to do right. All Buddhas are the One, you are following Buddha, not his fake yaksha.

  • Many people, who suffer trauma of Spiritual Betrayal also often developing Stockholm Syndrome or Robin Hood Syndrome. DON’T.

    Do not regret leaving or burning bridges completely with people who betrayed you in terms of your spirituality. Walk away without ever turning your head back, this is THE ONLY APPROACH here. PERIOD. Let the Empty Nature of the Mind take a lead instead.

    Otherwise you will end up pondering emotional baggage. Overanalyzing often leads to mental disorders. I have seen people who unprepared to understand philosophical concepts and principals of Tantra, go schizophrenic, because they get entangled in personal fantasies. They begin shifting and drifting between quantum mechanics and physics, trying to apply Dharma to their fully solidified view of modern scientific reality, modern science, pseudo science and parapsychology, eventually going insane as a result. Do not teach Emptiness and Tantra, unless person is fully grounded in conceptual understanding of the Nature of the Mind.

    Many Pre-Dhrama or Christian cultures still practice lesser mental capacity practices, such as curses, magic potions, etc. Laughable in 21 century, but still the fact. I personally encountered Christian Females practicing what was called at the time "Обряд Кирпичевания"? She did this to my son or requested this procedure in the name of my elder son in the Christian Orthodox Monastery. When I head this, my first desire was to find her and cut her head off. But I stoped, and sat down instead. It is not my job. If you trust your faith - you know what I mean.

    All I have to do is calmly think. I do not have to pay monastery or some dirty monks to do it. I could have not imagined someone is even still capable of doing this kind of crazy stuff: paying for prayers to harm? I donate for prayers for the dead or living, never to do this kind stuff to living person. I have to calm down and just think. That it. It will be enough. I let Wrathful Forces to take care of her problems.

    We practice Dharma to become better, to eliminate personal distrust and harmful emotions, not to re-generate long forgotten historical wounds or past mistakes, that drag over and over through the fabric of space and time. Stoping all thoughts and emotions calmly, is the only valid response in the case of Spiritual Agression.

    I had various Christians, catholics in particular, who were heavily attempting to convert me into believing in one and only God all mighty and begin feeling guilty for someone else’s mental disturbing emotions and sick actions. I am not a masochist, most Christians are. It is not my faith.

    I began using iChing divination when I was 16. I played a game of “Secrets Treasures“ when I was a little pre-teen. You know , when you collect various items, text, fabric, flower, dry peas or rice, candle, jewelry and 1 dead bug, usually a butterfly, with your friends, and burry them under the broken bottle glass piece in the ground, to find next year or later? Like a treasure. Yeap. We did that. In Kiev. I was 4 to 10 may be. We lived a simple life. I take responsibilities for my own actions, and I do not pan them on others. Christians do. They need someone else to be “responsible for their sins”. Sorry, I am not interested. I am ok and responsible enough for my own mind and actions.

    Just imagine what would happen, if entire world would withdrew their attention completely within, and fell asleep, all at the same time. Entire planet, including animals and all other beings. Forgetting about each other and everything. WHO WOULD FIGHT WHO?

    Trains, planes, cars, industrial complex, manufacturing industry, banks and everything else would … stop, cease to exist. Everything would stop and cease. WHO WOULD FIGHT WHO?

    You would be left with your own memories in your sleep, and nothing but. Then imagine than no one would ever wake up after this sleep. You woke up, but now you are alone.

    WHO WOULD FIGHT WHO?IS YOUR MIND STILL AT WAR?

    Do you remember how you got here? ‍

    Let the Empty Nature of the Mind take a lead instead.
