Oh would you look at that . Thank you.

From the pageā€™s About section:

The Book of Dzyan ā€” The Quest for an Original Text of the Book of Dzyan is a web blog to provide a forum for researchers worldwide who have a sincere interest in exploring various traditions in order to trace the Book of Dzyan. The existence of this secret book was revealed by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky in 1888, when her magnum opus, The Secret Doctrine, was first published. Researchers and scholars are welcome to bring in their comments and ideas and post them to the relevant subject categories.

This is a moderated blog where the discussions are to be centered around the objective as defined above. Expectations are that registered members will participate in the researches with an open mind and will avoid biased discussion.

This quest is a great adventure which can be a never ending source of learning and experiencing the greatness of all world traditions.

We welcome the courageous pilgrims who join us and wish them the best trip ever!

Thatā€™s the website only I guess. But remember actually something. Itā€™s that sort of organization revival Buddhism in Sri Lanka. :man_shrugging: :laughing: The texts you click are different Buddhist texts that might have some old sources and some later. Might be useful for someone if they understand.

Read more about Buddhism in Wikipedia. You learn a lot.

Theosophical revival of Buddhism In 1880 Olcott began to build up the Buddhist Educational Movement in Ceylon. In 1880 there were only two schools in Ceylon managed by the Buddhists. Due to the efforts of Olcott the number rose to 205 schools and four colleges in 1907

The Founders of the Theosophical SocietyEdit25 May 1880 Blavatsky[2][3] and Olcott[4][5] embraced Buddhism: they publicly took in Galle the Refuges and Pancasila from a prominent Sinhalesebhikkhu.[A] Olcott and Blavatsky (she received US citizenship previously) were the first Americans who were converted to Buddhism in the traditional sense.

Have a mind free of organization or religion worries. Everyone will end up closer to Dhamma in the cycle of samsara. Thatā€™s the point of Jataka stories also.

He who still abides by a dogmatic view, considering it as the highest in the world, thinking ā€œthis is the most excellentā€ and disparaging other views as inferior, is still considered not to be free from disputes.

When seeing, hearing, or sensing something and considering it as the only thing that can bring comfort and advantage to self, one is always inclined to get caught in it and rule out everything else as inferior.

Caught in oneā€™s view and considering all other views as inferiorā€”this attitude is considered by the wise as bondage, as the absence of freedom. A good practitioner is never too quick to believe what is seen, heard, and sensed, including rules and rites.

A good practitioner has no need to set up a new theory for the world, using the knowledge he has picked up or the rules and rites he is practicing. He does not consider himself as ā€œsuperiorā€, ā€œinferiorā€, or ā€˜equalā€ to anyone.

A good practitioner abandons the notion of self and the tendency to cling to views. He is free and does not depend on anything, even on knowledge. He does not take sides in controversies and does not hold on to any view or dogma.

He does not seek for anything or cling to anything, either this extreme or the other extreme, either in this world or in the other world. He has abandoned all views and no longer has the need to seek for comfort or refuge in any theory or ideology.

To the wise person, there are no longer any views concerning what is seen, heard, or sensed. How could one judge or have an opinion concerning such a pure being who has let go of all views?

A wise person no longer feels the need to set up dogmas or choosing an ideology. All dogmas and ideologies have been abandoned by such a person. A real noble one is never caught in rules or rites. He or she is advancing steadfastly to the shore of liberation and will never return to the realm of bondage.
