These three ingredients are very similar to the three statements of Gerab Dorje:

“Recognize your own nature.

Decide upon one thing.

Gain confidence in liberation."

Thus, we use this forceful energy. This is very important in tantra. How do we use disturbing emotions on the path? How do we transform them? Well, we can do this in a sutra way, or we can do this in a tantra way; we can do this in many ways. What’s the sutra method? Again, look at Wheel of Sharp Weapons

Maybe you pretend to be Vajrayana

Until realized, we all are 😉

Rather than treating these states as pure enemies to be suppressed, Vajrayana views them as raw energy that can be transformed directly into wisdom.

Key Concepts of the Disturbing Mind in Vajrayana

Raw Energy and Alchemical Transformation: Instead of running away from or merely condemning negative thoughts, Vajrayana utilizes specialized methods (such as deity visualization, mantra, and inner-energy work) to harness the energetic pulse of emotions and liberate them into their enlightened counterparts. For instance, turbulent emotions like anger are seen as having an underlying clarity—like a still mountain lake versus churning or frozen water.

Wrathful Deities as Symbolic Tools: Fierce, terrifying figures (such as Yamantaka or other wrathful forms) do not represent external violence or ordinary rage; they symbolize the uncompromising, radical wisdom required to smash through ego-clinging, fear, and internal confusion. Weapons held by these figures are meant to cut through internal conceptual fabrications rather than inflict harm

Projecting at its best! I’m sorry you have nothing better to do with your time.

David Wearley's avatar

Oh, there’s a lesson here. I’m not sure you are getting it.

My Lamas opinion counts but repetitive incomprehension is tiring so I say bye bye

Autonomousdrone's avatar

You aren’t sorry just ignorant of Basic Vajrayana

David Wearley's avatar

Ok, you can still make better choices with your time.

Autonomousdrone's avatar

It’s cause I’m tantric and you are oatmeal

You might learn basic Buddhism and what do you do but act like a prat

David Wearley's avatar

Well, the conversation conveys something else.

Autonomousdrone's avatar

Misperception bias and thinking you can shame a active practitioner

Autonomousdrone's avatar

No I’m not being funny with a amateur with notions

Great explanation! Thanks Ian Shifu!

Does the proof for the Lamport's bakery algorithm assume that values written to elements of "choosing" or "number" instantly become visible to threads on other cores, that may read these memory locations, or are writes allowed to have latency?
