Shambhala has many excellent non-Tibetan teachers. I hope this frees them up to do their own things, instead of playing subordinate roles in a feudal theocracy, as they have been limited to for decades. https://twitter.com/loremgibson/status/1017520946750484480 …

That article was pretty shocking. Is it because the quest for enlightenment tends to a self-blinding to other aspects of our being? Is some practice merely mental athletics with no impact? If a lama teaching compassion practice ends up groping in a toilet, is the model flawed?

Thanks, will read. I realised I’d been seeing many of your tweets when I was reading a hashtag
#metalions and wondering what a meta-lion was. It was a materials science tweet so quickly understood was actually metal ions.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
Oh, that’s so funny! I read your tweet as meta-lions at first too! #metalions
