   i saw the heating monks thing on national geographic once. anyway when they say they think the monk dried himself up into a mummy. i thought that stupid. why would he possibly want to do that. i would have imagined he was trapped/locked away and thus began to meditate and reduce his metabolism and keep himself warm. they could have at least made something up.

   Why do you fight on words, define religion if you want it. Buddhism is not a religion, because anybody can follow it, buddhist monks tried to make it a religion, but enlightenment is not exclusive to buddhism, there is no god because everything is divine, vajrayana for instance makes you assimilate yourself as one of the deities

   Gtum mo is a type of yoga. It makes use of the subtle energy-channels or nadis (rtsa in Tibetan) as well as the bodily-energies or vayus (rlung). It closely resembles some approaches to kundalini-yoga but has a different philosophical under-pinning. A side-effect of gtum mo training is a rises in peripheral body temperature so it is often called the yoga of inner heat. It is often an integral part of the higher tantra methods in Tibet.

    Buddhism does not “preach” anything. It does not say “you must do this” or “you must do that”. They just lay out what they believe are the facts of existence. They believe that through understanding these truths, one could escape the cycles of pleasure and pain, and create a more fuller being, a more fuller understanding of the word. No?

    This is true. You have a good point. Calling a ‘way of life’ a religion would be like calling vegetarianism a religion, but Buddhism *is* spiritual. Religion does not necessarily need revolve around worshiping idols.

    buddha said that metaphysics were not something to worry about. he did not say anything against religion. it is a religion, just because theres no jesus doesnt mean its not a religion. he said dont worry abouat god because no one has had first hand experience, but you are stupid because theravadin and tibetan buddhism center themselves around metaphysical beings such as angels and demons AND GODS ugh stupid ignorant people

    true buddhism is not a religion, it is a way of life. buddha himself told people not to worship him but rather follow the same path of unattachment.

    Buddhism is not a religion, it only teaches people how to live there life, so that you can become an enlightened being like buddha, jesus christ, muhammed and so on. All religions speak the same truth. meditation opens your mind to show you the truth. the world would be a great place if we all meditated and it is so easy, look up DMT. what is the “MAN” holding back from us

    Hm, I liked what was written in “Way of the Peaceful Warrior”. That an act of compassion or kindness is on par with being able to levitate or dry sheets on your own back.

    gtum mo is part of the completion-stage (rdzogs rim) of anuttara-yoga-tantra (bla na med pa’i rnal ‘byor gyi rgyud) and is most definitely considered a *secret* teaching in Buddhism.

    The monks were not “explaining how to do it” but merely commenting on different aspects. My teacher took a full 9 weeks to present the gtum mo teachings.

    The fact that you didn’t even know it is a secret teaching only illustrates the depth of your ignorance of the subject.

    im not a scholar on buddhism or bon, but i didnt think religious teachings were gaurded secrets…

    they write these things in books ya know, for people to read. watch the video, the monks even try explaining how to do it to the non-buddhist history channel audience.

    You are a little slow on the uptake… Gtum-mo is only taught as an intergral part of the Buddhist and Bon religious paths. If you are not following one of those paths you have not been taught it and therefore do not perform it. Get it now?

    >You can’t perform gtum mo without first *learning* gtum mo.

    no shit sherlock, but you dont have to be “buddhist or any religion” to learn AND perform it, like he said. then you said this is wrong, that there are no non-religious sources to “learn it *from*” (aka someone who teaches it). your response doesnt match his statement at all…..

    unless your assuming that you cant learn from someone unless youre the same religion as them, which doesnt make sense either…

    >he said perform, not teach.

    And I said learn, not teach. You can’t perform gtum mo without first *learning* gtum mo.
