Adi Shankaracharya & Atma ShatakamЁЯЪй

ATMA SHATAKAM or NIRVANA SHATAKAM┬аis a wonderful composition written by Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya summarizing the basic teachings of┬аAdvaita Vedanta

When Adi Shankara was a young boy of eight and wandering near River Narmada.....

seeking to find his guru, he saw┬аGovinda Bhagavatpada┬аwho asked him, "Who are you?". The boy answered with these stanzas, which are known as "Nirvaс╣Зashatkam"/ Atmashatkam". Govindapada accepted Adi Sankara as his disciple. The verses are highly valued which
lead to Self-Realization.

just a my thought...

тЭ╢/12 Roughly speaking, primitive Buddhism was about liberation from the inner suffering of the ordained individual. In contrast, Mahayana Buddhism, especially the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, emphasises 'the salvation of all people, together'.


тЭ╖/12 In short, people of Mahayana Buddhism do Practice as Bodhisattva for all in the secular world. Strictly, these are different religions, and primitive Buddhism is not well suited to being associated with the state or secular communities.

тЭ╕/12 I believe that if anti-secular primitive Buddhism had arrived in ancient Japan it would not have spread very far. In Japan, where rice cultivation is very important, the idea of destroying the community would have been a threat of people's survival.

тЭ╣/12 By the way, it's perhaps inevitable that the purity of the teachings will diminish depending on how they are disseminated in society. In other words, I think that, roughly speaking, what develops away from the original form can even become a civilization.

тЭ║/12 But anything that significantly reduces the quality of the original should be called a degeneration. I think that Christian civilization, although flawed, has built a civilization in tension.

The entire discussion around FacebookтАЩs disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didnтАЩt have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I canтАЩt speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
