Celtic Buddhism

Simonthepilgrim

It has always been my belief that Buddhism is extremely flexible in its approach to local tradition and uses its mythological archetypes to express the unexpressable.

This new lineage goes some way to show what I mean:
Celtic Buddhism
It should be noted that it is a US version of native Celtic myth which is a bit strange when we consider that Turtle Isalnd has its own body of myth, rooted in its own soil.

Perhaps not so strange. The Scots and Irish settled here and many of them identified with the the peoples already here. I would be lying if I didn't say there wasn't a deep longing for country that I've never seen (Scotland), and while I don't believe in 'genetic memory'...there is some link/pull/connection that is 'felt' between the two lands.

I guess they aren't back from Ireland..... perhaps they like it better than Vermont. Interesting though, Tibetan-U.K-Vermont-Celtic lineage.

Explains that always scary picture of Trungpa in the kilt...........

I wish them the best!
