LOLITROLLU


For a number of years I've been fascinated by the similarities between certain types of trolling and the more unusual teachings methods employed by various Buddhist teachers, mostly it would seem, in the Vajrayana and Zen traditions. I'm not going to write more about it at this point, but just felt like referencing it as the lama I'm trying to translate for this week sort of trolled me pretty hard today by reminding me of some things my main teacher had said a few years ago. This was all good, but more to handle than I had expected today.
