不要给达赖骗了
英军屠殺了藏人只有刀子和达赖的祝福符咒五千人,达赖初逃日,西藏有了槍戒弹药,CIA 供應的,尚且不說,藏民千年来生活於贫困,佛有金身都會覺得惭愧。达赖根本不配做個领導人,否则,西藏人早就出贫了,那有六世唱情歌的生活享受,13世走了就已经说不再轉世。
Where is our Samskrta class?
How come there is no Samskrta class in Ananda Marga? We should have one online. Lately, i found out many people read Ba'Ba's books carelessly. i have read three versions of Ananda Sutra. And found out many mistakes. For years, no one comes forward to correct them. Now, Ba'Ba's physical body is not here. Otherwise, He will correct those who think they know Samskrta. Now,no one corrects our Samskrta's mistakes. No one study Samskrta in advanced level? We should have one course on the website. Otherwise, we have no place to study it. Ba'Ba's samskrta is different from others. And we should develop it.

聼他的話,一字一句照抄下來,半點不改,十年功,就錯不了。講解創造,整個邏輯,思路,用字很重要,
