As much as I really like Glenn, this has nothing to do with the 6 Yogas of Naropa.

[@GuruViking]

You are flying an aeroplane. Suddenly engine caught fire in the mid air. It exploded and your body is also exploded. Debris of both fell and laying all over the field and ashes of both flying in the air. You are still there seeing and thinking just as while flying, now with no aeroplane and the physical body to be inside. Just like your house is sliding away and braking away and flooded river swallowing it away and you are watching it all standing from a spot. so on...

[@euclidofalexandria3786]

and all my siddhis too if you are a good man, watch out on the over too many lightining strikes... i got penalized for it.

[@NamjelNyonpa]

Иногда нормально говорит, а по большей части дед болен головой и несёт редкий бред.

[@arun.kahaduwaarachchi]

What Buddha simply taught has been much complicated by mixing with Indian religious concepts and traditions. Sorry, this interview could amaze the West but not me.

[@user-fg3fv9hl3b]

Oh no!

[@soulking8034]

Because You have very limited knowledge. Buddha was from India. Buddha trained under different masters before attaining enlightenment. After Buddha there were many enlightened ones who modified things according to the times. Before question someone ask yourself, have you devoted significant time of your to understand any spiritual tradition or you have just few books.
