Talk:Reginald Ray

message: The Buddhist Saints article within this entry seems outdated as far as the work that is becoming his legacy. A new article about meditating with the body should be inserted by someone who has done this training extensively. Donalds (talk) 05:50, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I kinda think it can be removed but its a little unclear. I don't think he uses that term to discribe himself, but he seems to be moving in that direction. Sylvain1972 16:09, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Students of Chogyam Trungpa don't use the title lama. Instead they use the title Acharya. Davidreid 02:26, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, this is true, but Acharya Ray recently formed his own organization and seems as if he may be headed toward some kind of break with the Shambhala sangha. He gives pointing out instructions and conducts his own initiations into Vajrayana practice, which Acharyas have not been authorized to do. Sylvain1972 14:29, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Lama?

message: Perhaps there should be a section on some of the primary themes of Dr. Ray's teaching. Here are a few ideas:
* importance of the body for modern meditators
* the Buddhist path of meditation is a way to reconnect with the primordial spirituality characteristic of pre-agricultural, indigenous cultures
* the highest possible spiritual attainment is to become completely individuated and to engage the world fully
I'm not sure how to organize or present this stuff. Ideas?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.15.185.75 (talk) 17:08, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Themes of Dr Ray's Teaching 

message: Edited intro to refect Reggie's retirement from Naropa and divorce from Lee Ray. Intend to add section about Meditating with the Body as per Donald's suggestion above. 
Full Disclosure: I consider Reggie Ray to be my teacher and am currently a part-time employee of the Dharma Ocean Foundation. My intentions are to be fair and accurate in improving this article to best reflect Reggie's life and works. Any errors in this regard are made in good faith. --Ceasegen (talk) 06:18, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Improvements in the works 

message: There was a large section removed by an IP which I was initially going to undo except the IP has a point in the edit summary. The allegations are completely unsourced and unreferenced. I would advocate keeping them out until such references arise. If true, they surely will be. Other, referenced material was also removed by the IP. This should be discussed further and I did undo that. Ifnord (talk) 18:52, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Per WP:BLP controversial information can only be included when there are reliable, preferably secondary sources. If not, content must removed straight away. Just telling you how it isI wasn't the IP that removed anything though. IMHO, a signed letter on Google Drive is not sufficient if it that letter has not received any media coverage. For all we know, the letter may never have been sent.--Farang Rak Tham  (Talk) 13:09, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
