Samye Third Day

9:31 a.m.
Last night in the temple was wonderful. It's great when the gong bashers leave and the place gets darkened and there's usually no one else there but moi. What a fabulously reaffirming meditation I had! This morning I wakened up in a glow! Hurrah!

2:31 p.m.
Excellent morning here! Stopped meditating at ten to twelve and went into the back temple to do some headstands and tai chi. This dakini came in and asked if I minded her doing some yoga. Go ahead! Hmmmm? Then the luncho collapso and a half hour snooze in the tent.

I found these bits in the Book of the Three Inspirations over luncho.
1) Speaking of Marpa, the book says: " ... he learned the methods of inducing the four blisses through both the inner practise of inner heat and the outer practise of kamamudra yoga."
My assumption had been that you had to have induced the four blissed before you got the consort(s).
2) "When one trains well in this technique (i.e. getting the winds into the central channel), the strength of the experience has power to control the loss of the bodhimind substance (i.e. the sexual drops). Then, based on this power, one can rely on a kamamudra as a conducive condition to arouse the four blisses. On this foundation, innate ecstasy is aroused."

What if your teeth are shot to hell, and you're an old fat drunken basturn unable to find a kamamudra with short sightedness, Hotboy? Well, Jack, I think then we may be taking winking into the path.

This is a weird religion, so it is!

I believe winking dilutes the Ching.

But isn't that a bit like beer with no beer in it?
