@JB I agree that we need to get rid of obstructions in the emotional and mental channels, but how to go about that will differ between you, me, and the Tibetan Buddhists. Goes to show how tricky this stuff is, even when people might agree on what to do  |
Very true, and the different means is why there are different traditions within Buddhism.
If energy isn't your thing you are probably a Theravada practitioner. If you are okay with using energy you go with the more tantra traditions.
Taoism and Hinduism has traditions broken down in much the same way. Interesting note on Taoism, they even have traditions that work with energy but they are split. Some you use the mind to directly control it and others you use the body.
Lot's of paths to fit the individual.
