And then I say... The only thing constant in life is change.


--------------------
The best way to live
is to be like water
For water benefits all things
and goes against none of them
It provides for all people
and even cleanses those places
a man is loath to go
In this way it is just like Tao        ~Daodejing

I know there are mushroom cults. Wonder if there is any LSD cults using LSD as a sacrament?

Church of the holy blotter?

For what it's worth, I would attribute my previous and ongoing usage of psychedelics as being largely responsible for the revolution in the way I think and feel. If anyone can use an object or action as a tool, whether it be LSD, meditation, a can of coke, or cuddling with their dog, to improve themselves for the better and see the actual results translate into their real lives...

Then so be it. There are many catalysts for change in this world, and if you can grab onto a catalyst and use it as a tool to transform yourself, then you are truly living. Peace be with you all. :tongue2::sun:

Buddha1 said:
My father is buddhist and told me once that the Dalai Lama was hearing a lot about drugs and was curious.  He gave LSD to one of his senior monks and the monk explaind the trip: The drug brings you to a higher level of conciousness without any effort.  The monk also noted that normally he could go to much higher levels of consciousness, yet on LSD he could not go higher, he was stuck at that level.

For those of us that have done LSD, this seems believable and maybe logical.  Yet it is still just a story I heard from my dad.  I was wondering if anyone else had any information, links, or resources regarding monks using drugs.





buddhists have taken datura to prove that cognition is stable and unchanging

as for dalai being so so lackwit that he needs to test acid on someone shows your father knows jack for shit about hhdl, gelugpa, or tibetan tantra

acid is like taking a shit compasred to tantra
