>buddhism is anything but 'turn the other cheek/roll over and die'
This.
Also, come on - this isn't as bad a thread as many in the last week have been. What's annoying in this thread are all the people whining about it. This thread could have turned into a sensible thread about fringe aspects of buddhism, if not for all of that.
Buddhism has far more to it than you'd think. Tulpas are from buddhist teachings. They teach you energy work. Dream work, Astral projection. How to become more centered and cleansed - ie, rituals like the LBRP, its all pure magic. This whole 'turn the other cheek/roll over and die' makes you more powerful, cos it makes you impervious to any emotional entanglement which is what all these etheric parasites are attached to you to drain your loosh for!
The hardcore buddhist monks can do many things - see past lives, predict future events/future lives. These mandalas are dimensional maps. They travel through them (bardos), and chart them out for the rest of us. And they don't decompose naturally when they kick the bucket - they undergo a rainbow body - which is when their body doesn't go cold, and rigor mortis does not set in. Then at some point their body starts to disappear - they leave their body in a hidden location, and return to find only the fingernails and hair left, or possibly an organ or two for people to keep.
There are many abilities that buddhist monks gain - but like any real mage - they keep silent about it. But there will be evidence if you search for it.
