Samadhi is TIBETAN PRACTICE so in order to do it, one had depending on the mentor (the green lizard) and using the collected knowledge to emerge in the gathered energy underground of the temple and to hold it as one.

So I don't think without the essential elements anyone can achieve the samadhi practice. But I don't know how much the followers can do? Good luck.

It's not the high level of dharma, so I advice others no need to linger on it.

Truly, ego cannot exist without words.

Do actions non-verbally.

That's the two leged standing up spirit green lizard alien mentor, may be even the Buddhist there also don't know the truth.

It ordered/compelled the Tong Emperors and Ming Emperor to fight me and was captured by and eliminated by me.

What is it that's aware it's resisting words?

I think to deny/resist or say that the Way of creation is wrong as it actually is, might reflect ego, as who is it that knows better than the Way of nature? Is language a mistake of nature?


Perhaps to recognize why one is saying what its saying may be of benefit more so than to be silent. And I am not saying that silence does not have its rightful place in our lives either, but shall we be so one sided, choose only this or that?

Words are to be used as one uses gardening tools; to help, to point, to cultivate the "soil" so to speak, they are not a hindrance nor should they be forbidden. Gardening tools do not cause the garden to grow, but they can help in keeping it refined, neat, free of weeds and the soil cultivated.

If words were a mistake, then no spiritual text would have ever been written.

One need not get stuck in/on words, but neither should they negate them.

Verbal or non-verbal is lrrelevant to ego, it all comes from 'self '
Moving from one to the other is a choice from 'self '

Some might say that adding AM will. So I guess the choice is to either remove or add a word. Talk about a nice paradox

That's nice what you did there. I will change my teaching from "live non-verbally" to "try not to think of a blue frog."
