Outlines
🤔 Navigating New Terminology and Online Negativity
The speaker reflects on encountering new online terms like 'trolls' and 'haters' after coming out of retreat two years ago. Initially, they found it amusing and didn’t understand these terms, but they now recognize these individuals as unhappy and small-minded people who seek to bring others down. The speaker emphasizes that this behavior leads to more negativity, and expresses surprise at encountering so-called spiritual trolls—people supposedly on a spiritual path who engage in harmful online behavior. The speaker highlights how genuine spiritual practice should focus on developing qualities like humility and compassion, not resentment or anger. Despite the existence of these negative people, the speaker is firm in their belief in the Buddha's teachings and their power to alleviate suffering.
🙏 The Paradox of Spiritual Trolls and Misguided Paths
The speaker continues to express amazement at the existence of spiritual or non-dual trolls. They argue that if someone has truly realized non-duality, they would have overcome all negative emotions, as these emotions are rooted in the fundamental ignorance of duality. They recount a famous teaching from Padampa Sangye, who explained that someone who has realized emptiness cannot engage in negative acts due to the presence of true, non-referential compassion. The speaker speculates that those trolling on spiritual channels may not be true practitioners, but if they are, they must have completely misunderstood the spiritual path. The speaker emphasizes that the foundation of spiritual practice is altruism, and they lament the increase in global negativity, where fear and division are spread rather than love and compassion. They conclude by wishing peace and freedom from negative emotions to all, hoping that listeners will progress on their spiritual journey toward awakening and liberation.

Transcripts
when I came out of retreat about two years ago I found I had to learn some new terminology it's
like that language changes over the years so anyway there's these new terms like internet
trolls and haters and [ __ ] posters and of course at first I didn't know what these things meant in
fact I thought it was quite funny I wondered what on Earth a troll could be now I'm pretty
clear on what these things mean they are some very unhappy and small-minded people and they try to
make themselves feel better by upsetting others of course this isn't going to lead to happiness
it's only going to lead to more negativity but I understand I mean in the world there's lots
of people like that they don't feel good about themselves and so they got to try and make other
people's lives miserable but what does surprise me is that there is such a thing as a non dual troll
or a non dual hater or a non dual [ __ ] poster and I find that quite amazing because basically
if you're a spiritual practitioner and what you should be trying to do is to develop spiritual
qualities and principle among these are the qualities of humility and compassion and of
course if you're going around just trying to upset other people this is the exact opposite of
humility and compassion but I understand you're doing it because you're not happy in general
that's why we cause trouble for others because we're not happy with ourselves our minds are not
able to rest a a spiritual practitioner is someone who becomes very open-minded and can easily accept
the opinions of others and doesn't get angry very easily doesn't hold resentment in their
heart now I've never claimed to have spiritual qualities I don't claim to be humble or to have
genuine compassion the sort of compassion that a Bodhisattva has but I do have faith and belief
in the teachings of the Buddha and not only that I believe that these methods alleviate suffering
and so of course it's something that I see to be important and it's something that I tried
to propagate I mean I spent 12 years in Retreat studying and practicing and I feel I should try
to do something with that to try to share a little bit of what I know know in the hope
that it might benefit others now here's why it seems so strange to me that there's such a thing
as a spiritual troll or a non dual troll people who are apparently on the spiritual path who go
around trying to upset people on the internet it surprises me because for someone who has realized
non Duality then it is 100% certain that they have overcome all of their negative emotions their
Kleshas and why do I say that well of all the negative emotions or the Mind poisons
the very root is what is called fundamental ignorance and fundamental ignorance is none
other than an inherent or intrinsic belief in Duality and so if you haven't got this
belief in Duality then there's no way to give rise to the Mind poisons because this belief in Duality
this fundamental ignorance is the very cause of the negative emotions famously it is taught
that once a student asked Padampa Sangye "is it possible for someone who has realized emptiness
to still engage in negative Acts" and Padampa Sangye replied "no it is not possible and that
is because with the realization of emptiness along with that comes true compassion" that's authentic
Compassion or non-referential compassion and someone who has this compassion isn't capable of
doing wrong we only engage in negativity because we lack this most Sublime and ultimate form of
compassion I mean it's possible that some of these people aren't spiritual practitioners they're just
looking to cause trouble and so they show up on spiritual channels but if you do consider yourself
a spiritual practitioner and you're going around trolling people or [ __ ] posting then you should
consider this it is quite likely that you've completely misunderstood the spiritual path
either that or you've fallen in with a bad crowd you're relying on a negative teacher
for example there's the story of Anguli Mala his teacher told him that if he killed 100
people he would gain entrance into Heaven There are negative spiritual Traditions but thankfully
they're quite rare but if it isn't the case that you've been LED astray then it is 100%
certain that you've missed misunderstood the spiritual path as it is taught the
very Foundation of all spiritual practice is altruism the wish for others to achieve
happiness and well-being but sadly these days there's a great increase in negativity in the
world and rather than propagating the teachings of love and compassion that everyone is doing
their best to spread hatred and division to sew the seeds of fear and anxiety in
others when the Buddha taught that Karma makes the world then what he was trying to tell us
was that it is on the basis of our own negative emotions that we bring suffering into this world
and I don't understand that people can't see that anger and resentment are negative things
not only do they make things difficult for us others but this anger and resentment also
makes oneself suffer because where the mind is Afflicted with resentment and anger there
is no peace and it is my wish that you should achieve this peace peace and tranquility and
the freedom from the afflictive emotions that torment us that you should progress
swiftly on the spiritual path path towards final Awakening and Liberation from some
sorrow so that's about all I wanted to say this evening and until next time then see you later
