I think that element of it is undeniable but I guess what matters is how and whether modern day practitioners, wherever they might be, face up to that aspect of their tradition. Is it integrated, challenged, or ignored? I imagine they have compensatory strategies.

I think it has been deliberately obscured. Then it comes out unexpectedly in practice experience and causes trouble. I am skeptical it can be integrated.

Geez, I don’t know, have I been offensive enough yet? I can go on like this all day, but it is all just speculation because I’ve never done any of this sort of practice.

I am practicing Vipassana since 2006. In the last 13 years, I have neither felt “nihilistic” nor “depressed”, sir. Considerably more people get depressed enjoying their materialistic life too much also. We badly need a warning label there.
