Erowid Buddhism Vaults : Psychoactive Plants in Tantric...
Rated • 1 review • buddhism, drugs • erowid.org
Cannabis serves a magico-medicinal function in several major tantras. Including its datura references described above, much of the Mahakala Tantra concerns the search for the "perfect medicine", a psycho-spiritual elixir that will transform the body and mind in the service of liberation. This lineage extols the use of medicinal herbs to achieve "attainments" or "powers".

The Telegraph - Calcutta (Kolkata) | Nation | Sarnath set...
Rated • 1 review • buddhism, native americans • telegraphindia.com
"One of the world's tallest Buddha statues will soon be unveiled at Sarnath, the pilgrimage centre near Varanasi where he had delivered his first sermon.
The Thai government-funded 100-foot sandstone structure, at a Thai monastery in Sarnath, is similar to Afghanistan's two Bamiyan statues, which were the world's tallest Buddha images till they were destroyed by the Taliban in March 2001.
The Sarnath bust mirrors the Gandhara style of art on which the Bamiyan statues, carved on the sides of a cliff, were based."

Jeweled Demise | Tricycle Magazine

"As I continued looking, an assortment of shiny round objects in a variety of colors caught my eye. They were like so many beads in a make-your-own-jewelry kit, ranging from the size of a peppercorn to that of a chickpea. Some were smooth and glossy, others matte and irregular; others looked identical to seed pearls. The descriptions claimed they were from the historical Buddha, his heart disciples Shariputra and Ananda, and a host of Buddhist luminaries hailing from India, China, Burma, Thailand, and Tibet. Here were the Buddha's "blood relics," his "very white relics," and Ananda's "dark relics," the labels read. This sort of collection I had never seen, or even heard of, before."

On Guru Rinpoches Supplication
Rated • 1 review • buddhism • ktgrinpoche.org
This supplication was taught by Padmasambhava to the monk whose name was Namkha'i Nyingpo. Here the essence is explained by the wonderful teacher Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche at Tashi Choling, Gyatrul Rinpoche's center in the mountains outside of Ashland, Oregon. Our band put it to music earlier this year, it being one of those teachings that is so direct and pithy, it is worth memorizing.

Different schools of Buddhism deal with negative emotions in various ways. Some approaches seek to weed them out. Others apply antidotes. In the Vajrayana, full awareness is the means as well as the goal.

The Reformed Buddhist: The Dharma Paycheck
Rated • 5 reviews • buddhism, politics • blogspot.com
One cause, one very important cause I do share with my 'Red' Marxist fellow bloggers (about the only cause) is the shared disgust of the commercialization of Buddhism. I'm talking about The Dharma Paycheck crowd, the ones who charge $50-600 a ticket to hear them talk just because they wrote a book or have a famous name; Or the glossy magazines filled with shitty articles written thirty times over by the same fucking people, and are filled to the brim with ads for worthless crap for sale that have nothing to do with exploring Buddhism; or worse, the complete lack of resources for the poor and middle class for Buddhism because of the siphoning by those profiteers seeking to make their 30 pieces of silver.
