~ Buddhism: Wisdom Bliss ~
(Last Updated: 20/5/11)
Welcome to Buddhism: Wisdom Bliss, a Buddhist forum created in
October 2004 (not by the current An Eternal Now but a previous one
whom I took over on 15 October 2004) for the sharing and discussion
of authentic Buddhadharma (Buddhist teachings), in order that we
may attain Wisdom and Bliss in our lives.
I would also like to state that on account of my moderator's (a
Vajrayana practitioner) advice, and the advice of countless great
Vajrayana Masters, that one should stay away from all Dolgyal
practice, I hereby announce that this forum does not recognize
groups affiliated with the practice, and there shall be no links to
NKT website and groups that are the proponents of the Dolgyal
practice as from today. (Actually this has already been a rule for
years, but I so happen to have taken down the old rules and
regulations page from the stickied list for just one day in order
to write a new one and apparently people start 'hijacking' and
flooding the forum with pro-Dolgyal articles)
Rules & Regulations
1) While it is acknowledged that levels of understanding of the
Dharma will vary among members, and that all will have their own
beliefs about it, certain doctrines such as karma, postmortem
rebirth and not-self, are held to be core teachings by all Buddhist
traditions. Members are free to privately disagree
with these teachings, or to discuss and ask questions about them,
but not to debate them, denigrate them, or deny that they were
taught by the Buddha.
2) Treat all posters with respect. Always check your karma and
its fruit from participating in this forum. This forum is a place
of respect and devotion. Posts and topics that are disruptive,
upsetting and unmindful shall be cause for deletion.
3) No posting with multiple identities (clones).
4) ~Buddhism: Wisdom Bliss~ reserves the right to publish,
republish, delete or modify all discussions without asking for
permission to do so.

bashing/attacks are also not allowed, though peaceful discussions
of them are allowed.
7) Everyone regardless of religions or beliefs are welcome to post
in our forum, but there shall be no promotion of Non-Buddhism
materials, doctrines, products, or religions/spiritual practices
unless it is simply the discussion of these teachings/practices in
relation to Buddhism. All URLs related to the various traditions
not recognised by our forum will also be removed without
notice.
8) Chit chat topics should be posted in Lounge threads in the
forum, in order to reduce off-topic replies in various threads. You

you wish to discuss something else.
9) No
