Have you read tolle? It's essentially repackaged Bhudism, meditation and mindfulness. Pretty straight forward stuff.

I have gazed in to my wife's eyes. It's an awesome practice that I would recommend. Gazing in to the eyes of a Croat, I don't know, as he stands on a rock in front of a large crowd, is just odd.

My hats off to him. Don't hate the Braco, hate the game.

Yea the crowd thing is bullshitty but still better than listening to some gnome incoherently babble exhortations to not think over 4 CD's.

Ya want to stare into someone's eyes right you walk into a room with two chairs facing each other about 3 feet apart with a person you don't know at all well. Be rested and fed. Look in each other's eyes for a half hour, don't talk at all during before or during.

"If you see the bhudda on the road, kill him."

If Braco is motivating people toward that end, great. I think these people see it more as "him" and not the act of staring in to someone, anyone's, eyes. Meaning that his eyes are somehow magical.

Fuck, who knows, maybe they are.

But it's not the teacher, it's the teachings. Which is why I could not care less about the "gnome," but I did enjoy the teachings. They were practical. Much more so than paying money to sit in an auditorium while a man stands there in silence.

Different strokes.
