Terence McKenna - On Enlightenment

A clip I borrowed from Lorenzo's Psychedelic Salon (link to podcast) www.matrixmasters.net (permalink to specific episode) www.matrixmasters.net This clip is taken from a talk titled "The Ethnobotany of Shamanism. In this clip Terence gives us his take on Enlightenment. "Before enlightenment, chop wood carry water; After enlightenment, chop wood carry water"-Wu Li I made this clip because it resonates with a very important concept that is often the subject of very stimulating and productive debates. Usually a debate that is settled by the silent ones smiling in the back of the room. "If with kindly generosity One merely has the wish to soothe The aching heads of other beings, Such merit knows no bounds. No need to speak, then, of the wish To drive away the endless pain Of each and every living being, Bringing them unbounded excellence. Could our father or our mother Ever have so generous a wish? Do the very gods, the rishis, even Brahma Harbor such benevolence as this?" -Shantideva (The Way of The Bodhisattva)

Enduring bitter cold Monday morning, a Westminster firefighter battles a blaze at the Lao Buddhist Temple. The building was a total loss. (Steve Nehf, The Denver Post) WESTMINSTER — Brutal cold mixed with cold reality for members of the burned-out Lao Buddhist Temple of Colorado on Monday as they mourned the potential loss of artifacts saved by generations of worshippers. "It's not good, it's not good at all," said an exhausted Tom Pong as dusk fell over the remnants of the temple. "There is lots of history, over 100 years of it, and it could be lost forever." Pieces charred or melted by the fire — which started just before 6 a.m. — included several Buddha figures. Worries about asbestos prevented Pong and other members of the temple from going inside to assess the damage. The temple is part of an older building that the congregation bought in the early 1980s and then expanded on a 6-acre parcel at 10685 Dover St. The older section has asbestos,

SNOHOMISH -- An unconventional guest is coming to Snohomish County next week. Ole Nydahl, a 70-year-old Danish leader of Diamond Way Buddhism, is visiting followers here in the Pacific Northwest. Nydahl's school of thought can be described as an adaptation of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism to the Western culture, said Daria Novoselova, who will be hosting Nydahl's meeting with students in her Snohomish home. Nydahl, who is known as Lama Ole, is expected to arrive Monday. He is scheduled to give a talk at the University of Washington later that day. Novoselova, 29, felt drawn to Diamond Way Buddhism as soon as she met Nydahl. She remembers that very first lecture. She was 16 and living in Yekaterinburg, Russia, when her older brother brought her along to the lama's talk. "I immediately felt at home," she said. "I had all these ideas about the world, and, suddenly, everything came together." At the end of that lecture, she accepted a blessing
