From the page: "Consensus" Buddhism incorporates three quite different ways of approaching wholeness and connection: no-self renunciation, monist mysticism, and tantra. These appear to be radically contradictory, and unreconcilable. Can the Consensus successfully synthesize them into a single, unified religion? I'll suggest that, no, attempts to combine these approaches will always fail, with specific, predictable bad results."

Endless excuses for not meditating... Hit refresh for another.

Brilliant parody by Brad Warner of cultic commercial Buddhism.

Insightful parables about problems in Buddhist student/teacher relationships. Plus a little too much p.c. psychobabble.

Unusual and insightful explanation of Vajrayana (tantric Buddhist) deity yoga (yidam) practice, from Shinzen Young.

Hokai Sobol, a Western teacher of Shingon (Japanese Vajrayana), explains Buddhist Tantra in plain English.

Good, very basic overview of Vajrayana Buddhism from Shinzen Young, in the Shingon tradition.
