I have passed the above comment in the interest of letting people have a fair say. But:
Anyone who can believe that “Tibetans sent by the Panchen Lama came to there home asking to take him to Tibet” might just be interested in this great business opportunity involving this bridge I have…

I can not believe these rumor’s of Ron Spencer!
Amazing, I have met him probably a dozen times over
20 years or more. I know his family. He has never
Been a truck driver, but his Late Father a Native American was.
He according to both his brother and sister and mother was recognized as Buddha Maitereya Incarnation and Tibetans sent by the Panchen Lama came to there home asking to take him to Tibet. His parents were very confused by this and denied. He choose to wait until he was 30 and than approach them and according to what I heard that is what he did.
He was drafted at 19 during Vietnam war and choose to enlIst in the navy as a conscientous objector and served 4 years. He than attended several colleges for 6 years and opened a vegetarian restaurant in imperial beach ca Sunshine Cafe along with helping homeless with clothes and food for 3 years.
He traveled to Oregon in 1979 and opened a healing center as a homeopath and herbalist. He studied both during his college years.
In 1989 he went to England to find the benjamin creme claimed Maitreya who never appeared. He than went to Nepal and was again recognized as Buddha Maitreya and began enthronements from 1998 to 2005.

Where the lies come from I do not know but this is no Truck Driver fake

He is the most honest and kindest man I have ever met.

Comment on Happiness is Overvalued by Andrew

Thanks Alex. The question I ask myself is are we in control of our own happiness any more than our circumstances? The answer- Yes of course within limits. If I thought I could control happiness by purchasing it at a conference I think I would. Instead I’ll try to create it by focusing on the many blessings I do have rather than those I seek. My own battle of balance.

well said, Alex. You express a nagging feeling of unease that I had for a long time concerning this happiness trend…would it not be better to aknowledge what we are,as opposed to always trying to be what we are not?

Comment on Whinge about E-sangha by Matthew O'Connell

Namdrol is a traditionalist nut. I discovered the e-sangha today and kept seeing the same name appear again and again with the same short, arrogant vaguely academic leaning. He’s basically an angry Buddhist dogmatist. After leaving behind an obsession with dogma, tradition and so-called authentic Tibetan Buddhism, I forgot that so many Buddhist circles are filled with such closed mind folk.
