>[I] tried to say sorry for my part in that incase it was you.
>Tbh even when people thought it was guenonfag it still felt like bullying a dude for his personal private life. That whole thing left a sour taste in my mouth and I regret joining in on the jokes.

I was crawling through the archives last night and reading about all of this stuff for the first time and I do recall once seeing an anon apologizing for his behavior. Honestly everything I saw struck me as harmless shitposting though. Antiguenonfag was hostile and insulting occasionally, but only because it seems he genuinely believed me to be Guenonfag. No harm no foul though

>Your story was pretty amazing. I still think on your experience in the prison meditating from time to time.

Thank you. For years I was using a dictionary as a meditation cushion, meditating in mop closets, laundry closets, hallways, chow halls, cells and open bay housing within full sight of 83 other convicts. Heh at one point I was using a Bible as a meditation cushion and another inmate got angry at me and asked me what the hell I was doing. I told him I was "meditating on the word of God"

It's a terrible shame all that tragedy occurred in the first place, but my imprisonment turned out to be a very maturing and educational experience that made me a better person

Good and evil are subjective human concepts. God is the creator and master of all reality that paints the image of reality onto himself. There's not a blade of grass that moves without the will of the Lord.

>To mention the most salient and indisputable example, Sanderson has discovered that of one the central Yoginī Tantras, the Laghuśaṃvara (aka Cakrasaṃvara, Herukābhidhāna), the core tantra of the Saṃvara cycle, owes at least half its verses to Śaiva sources (primarily the Yoginīsañcāra of the Jayadrathayāmala, the Siddhayogeśvarī, Brahmayāmala, and Tantrasadbhāva)—not in terms of inspiration, but direct copying. He has also discovered evidence of borrowings in a number of other texts. And this borrowing does not center on matters of little consequence. In fact, the entire consecration (abhiṣeka) rite described in Yogottara- and Yoginī-tantras and redacted from them into a standard form in Abhayākaragupta’s Vajrāvalī (1100 ce; the rite is described at Sanderson 1994: 88-92) is modelled in almost every element (ritual actions, mantra forms, role of the maṇḍala) on the standard Śaiva dīkṣā or initiation rite outlined in earlier Śaiva scriptures and described in detail in unpublished paddhatis

Buddhists literally copied Shaiva scriptures word for word, including typographical errors.

Buddhism, Shaivism and Advaita Vedanta had symbiotic relationships and all influenced one another. However to say Hinduism got most of its material from Buddhism is completely false.
