Question asked by Cathy Winson
Rinpoche, last time I was a Christian and the church always does not encourage questions and when they came across a question they cannot answer they always say it's the mysteries of God or we shouldn't question God's will. Why not since God supposedly gave us free will and a mind to think. I got disappointed in that. My husband and I both left Christianity. My mom and sister too. My sister found peace in Zen Buddhism. I found the Tibetan form of Buddhism suitable to me and really liked the fact questions are answered and I like the answers. I am very new to Buddhism but I found your AMAZING BLOG-Kudos.I am not ready to join a center yet having just left the church. But, I can see why Buddhism is growing so fast in the USA and Europe. My question to you is whether we are religious/Buddhist or not, karma works that same as it's universal and all pervasive correct? There is karma that affects all beings no matter our religious beliefs correct? Thanks ahead of time for your time and patience and works.
The Dark Watchers known by early Spanish settlers as Los Vigilantes Oscuros. Is a name given to a group of entities in California folklore purportedly seen observing travellers along the Santa Lucia Mountains. The earliest written accounts of the Dark Watchers date back to the 1700s, when Spanish colonists called them los vigilantes oscuros. According to Chumash folklore, the Dark Watchers are shadowy figures that stand atop the lofty heights, silently observing the land below. The Dark Watchers are mysterious, tall, shadowy figures that have been reported in California for centuries. They are often described as wearing cloaks and hats, and are said to appear around twilight. Whatever scary it looks we have Dorje Shugden to protect us. Even though there are spirits every where seen or not seen by our naked eyes we should leave them un disturb as it is. I do believe its existence every where day and night.
Thank you Rinpoche sharing this with us.
