let’s look again at this table . on the table there is absence of say [ a ] flower . there is no flower on the table . so the absence of [ the ] flower is existing here . yesterday there was also an absence of [ a ] flower . today there is an absence of flowers . so that continuity is not changing . one can see two kinds of continuity : one is as we were explaining with the reincarnation , that there is a conditioned conventional continuity . so this kind of impermanent conditioned continuity is there . but on another level of existence there is something for which you may use the word continuity or not , for example the absence of flower . because there is no flower here , the mere absence or negation of [ the ] flower is there today , will be there tomorrow , will forever be there . this is not changing .

5 ) another violation of ethics occurs when carter , time and time again , doesn’t check her facts and merely relies on the ‘absence of malice’ idea . she thinks that if what she ended up writing doesn’t turn out to be true , then if it was done innocently , without malice , then it is alright . she prints the story about gallagher without checking everything , and ends up displaying shoddy journalism .

absence of malice is the flipside of all the president’s men , a splendidly disturbing look at the power of sloppy reporting to inflict harm on the innocent . tackling a long - standing public issue that has no resolution , producer - director sydney pollack neatly keeps all the points in focus while sustaining traditional entertainment values . this is , quite simply , [ … ]
absence of malice received mostly positive reviews . rotten tomatoes gives the film a score of 86 % based on reviews from 22 critics , with an average score of 6 . 6 / 10 . newman and dillon ' s performances were praised , as was brimley ' s cameo . many reviewers compared the film to the 1976 academy award - winner all the president ' s men .
within its admittedly small universe , absence of malic e does make the point that , if investigative journalism is done incompetently , anyone whose name appears in print can be unjustly injured . it speaks in a cautionary way to the power of investigative journalism . given the focus of its plot on public institutions , absence of malice makes a second point that in the public sector in the united states power is often diffused , in this case among the us attorney , the fbi , and the organized crime strike force . as i’ve discussed in my research on public sector innovation , cooperation is necessary for effective action ; internal conflict begets inaction and failure .
there are at least two ways to approach
absence of malice ,
and i propose to take the second . the first approach , no doubt , would be to criticize this film ' s portrait of an investigative newspaper reporter - - to say that no respectable journalist would ever do the things that sally field does about , to , and with paul newman in this movie . she is a disgrace to her profession .
in his review , time magazine ' s richard schickel wrote ,
absence of malice does not invalidate all the president ' s men . but with entertainment values – and a moral sense — every bit as high as that film ' s , it observes that there is an underside to journalistic gallantry .
similarly , variety called it
a splendidly disturbing look at the power of sloppy reporting to inflict harm on the innocent .
there ' s a story about a legendary chicago editor who was presented with a major scoop obtained by dubious means . first he convinced himself the story was factually sound . then he issued the classic instruction :
print it tonight , and call the lawyers in the morning .
now there ' s an editor who might have enjoyed
absence of malice .
he would not have approved of what sally field does in this movie . but he would have understood it .
i’m very glad you’ve asked this as it’s much on my mind too , due to the seeming absence of written evidence . when i’ve time in the next few days i’ll put up the available online evidence for and against that i’ve come across .
michael colin gallagher is the son of a long dead mafia boss who is a simple liquor warehouse owner . frustrated in his attempt to solve a murder of a union head , a prosecutor leaks a false story that gallagher is a target of the investigation , hoping that he will tell them something for protection . as his life begins to unravel , others are hurt by the story . megan carter , the reporter , is in the clear under the absence of malice rule in slander and libel cases . knowing nothing to trade to the prosecutors , gallagher must regain control of his life on different ground .
and that leads us out of the first , or socially responsible , approach to
absence of malice ,
and into the second , or romantic , approach . i not only liked this movie despite its factual and ethical problems - - i ' m not even so sure they matter so much to most viewers . in the newspaper business we ' re quick to spot the errors in movies about newspaper reporters , but where were we when the archaeologists squirmed over harrison ford ' s barbaric conduct in

please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles . . .
absence of malice has a complicated plot that appears to have been structured , like a teaching case in journalism school , with the objective of presenting errors in tradecraft for classroom discussion . an organized crime strike force ( ocsf ) in the miami office of the us department of justice is investigating the disappearance of a prominent union leader , without success . the head of the strike force thinks that a liquor wholesaler ( portrayed by paul newman ) whose father was a gangster might have been involved or have information . the strike force head leaks a file about the investigation of the wholesaler to an eager reporter for the local paper ( portrayed by sally field ) . with the concurrence of her editor as well as legal counsel , the paper runs her article about the investigation , written without any serious attempt to contact the wholesaler .
does anybody know the bool “a history of modern tibet , 1913 - 1951 the demise of the lamaist state” by melvyn c . goldstein . if not look it up and read about the 5th reting who held the interregnum between dl 13 und 14 and who was the head of education of the young dl 14 . it is a story of such massive forms of malice , lying , killing , instigating a civil war around lhasa , even sending a bomb by mail that you rub your eyes if you come from the lofty highs of a view on tibet as the crown of buddhist enlightenment .
but you get the idea . would real investigative reporters actually commit field ' s mistakes , improprieties , misjudgments , indiscretions , and ethical lapses ? generally speaking , no , they wouldn ' t . and if they did , they shouldn ' t have . and furthermore , their editors would never let them get away with it . ( the unbelievable laxity of the editors in
absence of malice
creates the movie ' s greatest credibility gap . ) but let ' s face it : sometimes reporters do commit acts such as sally field allows herself in this movie . sometimes news of an investigation is printed without official attribution . and so on .
3 ) another unethical situation in the movie is the position the newspaper takes on the absence of malice idea . it says that it doesn’t not care if the story is true or not , only that the newspaper believe it is true at the time and that the newspaper cannot be blamed if the story is later found not to be true . journalism should be reporting facts , which are true , not possible facts . this is unethical , for stories could be written that falsely accuse innocent people . the newspaper should take the stance to try and report the truth as much as possible .

an ambitious miami reporter , megan carter , tries to stay on top of a breaking story about the mysterious disappearance of a local long - shore labor leader for her newspaper . meanwhile , elliot rosen , the head of a federal task force investigating the same disappearance case , believes that a little pressure on michael gallagher , the son of a dead mobster might force his help in solving the mystery . michael ' s late , mafia boss father , however , kept him ' clean ' , and away from the family racketeering , making sure his son ran a legitimate business . nonetheless , michael still has unsavory family ties , particularly with his shadowy uncle luther . and although michael has no connection with the crime , elliot and the newspaper editor sucker megan into printing a story identifying him as a prime suspect . under the absence of malice rule for slander and libel cases , she remains in the clear ; meanwhile michael ' s life begins to unravel - - alongside others who are impacted by the slanderous story . the stakes get even higher as megan and michael grow close , within the turmoil of published propaganda , skewered truth and lies .

dalai lama : of course buddhism accepts the existence of the continuity of a being . the buddhist theory of “selflessness” means that there is no independent self apart from the body , because “self” or the person is designated [ by ] the combination of body and mind . there is a self , but there is no independent absolute self . so this is the meaning of selflessness in the context of the theory of “no - self . ” with respect to continuation , not only does buddhism accept the continuity of the being , but also upholds the notion of a “beginningless” self , that is , a self with no beginning and no end until buddhahood is achieved . any self is reborn from “beginningless [ ness ] ” and will be reborn endlessly .

the process that has led to this application of die idea of “holy madness“ is as follows : from at least the tenth century to the present there has been a small subset of religious practitioners in tibet who through their eccentric behavior , writings , and self - roclamations , have come to be called “madmen” within their own culture . some of these figures emulated the famous eccentric siddhas of india who came before them .

there are of course lineages , tulkus , rinpoches and so on… but it is ( according to what i experimented ) just a small aspect of what happen in reality ; and this small aspect of the transmission is a mixture of pure dharma and a lot of worldly concerns , interests etc . i won’t try to go into all details , it’s too wide and inaccessible for a simple dharma practitioner like me . however i had glimpses of what i think is the true picture ( without wanting to patronize anybody ) .

to assuage the liquor wholesaler’s justifiable anger at the suicide of his friend , the reporter reveals that her source was the head of the strike . the plot then turns on a matter of public administration inside baseball that most of the audience likely missed – but i made sure to point out to my students . the head of the strike force is appointed by and reports to the organized crime division of the us department of justice . however , the responsibility for prosecutions rests with the united states attorney for south florida , a presidential appointment . rather than attempting to influence the head of the strike force to drop the investigation , the wholesaler approaches the us attorney , whom he knows to be politically ambitious . a donation to a pac supportive of the us attorney is sufficient to convince him to make a public statement dropping the investigation of the liquor wholesaler . the head of the strike force has not been consulted , disagrees with the us attorney’s initiative , and asks the miami fbi office to begin investigating and wire - tapping him .

”in the functioning of the system , to have an actual sexual consort is considered the most important ingredient in the path of tantra . that’s where so much of the confusion and ambivalence and misogyny come into play , because you have both : the emphasis on male monastic society and , at the same time the need for women , but without the acknowledgment of the role women play . ”
the solution to solve this conundrum lies in thinking about dependent arising , buddha nature at both sides and the power of faith ( placebo effect ) . if there is a deep openness and faith in a student even if the object of faith doesn’t have particularly outstanding spiritual qualities , you can make deep experiences which reflect rather your own innate qualities than those of the object of your faith .

this is typical tibetan diplomacy , it’s full of cultural concepts that describe a reality that only speaks to tibetans ( dr holding sl hands once , having learned near great masters etc . . ) this is mitigation , there is no breach of samaya , unless the breach is on the side of sogyal rimpoché , then yes there is a breach of samaya , in the charge of the master , not the student , and it is even worst in my view . worst for buddhism . worst for his karma , that’s for sure .

in the six - minute address , lincoln used repetition and alliteration to give his sentences a cadence white likens to poetry . five hundred of the words are of a single syllable ,
but that doesn’t mean it’s simple .
an understated sentence such as
and the war came ,
says white , lifts the conflict from human event to something with a life of its own
independent of presidents , generals and soldiers .
cahan died in 1992 . harris , who retired in 1976 , spoke of the incident in 2003 with the st . paul pioneer press . “it bothers you the rest of your life , ” he told the paper .
hi friend , can you give the exact reference ( page or quote ) “of dk choky lodreu had a dream of sl becoming crazy and creating a big disaster in the sangha ( biography ed . shambala ) ” ?
newman and hotchner wrote witty labels to go with the company ' s motto :
shameless exploitation in pursuit of the common good ,
which later became the name of their book that describes their adventures in business .
he also doesn’t let students practice sadhana until they have done at least two years in the ngondro . of course , sometimes people go to a centre and are handed a sadhana book . but this is not the wish of sr , just ignorance on the part of those handing them out . but it’s this 2 year rule .
newman didn ' t hide his disappointment that filmmaking had abandoned the
theater of the mind
for the
theater of the senses .
he lamented that skyrocketing costs had increased the pressure on actors , writers and producers who could no longer afford to make mistakes and be part of a
growing - up process .
hi karma pemo i think these are sensitive issues and i hear what you’re saying . you have a valid point of view , i agree with many of stardust’s points . however , this forum cannot really be called a protected space for survivors of abuse– so robust disagreement is part of how things are going be discussed . and people aren’t going to be treading softly enough for someone who is feeling vulnerable . so i agree with you there !
the narrative should make clear the reporter’s violations of journalistic ethics , which include writing a story without seeking confirmation , writing a second story that needlessly named an individual who would be under extreme duress , having a personal relationship with a person whom she was writing about , and revealing her sources . though many reporters might make one of these errors at some point in their career , it is exceptional , in the worst sense , for a reporter to make them all on one story . lucinda franks , a journalist with the new york times , discussed it in the columbia journalism review and concluded that “in real life , she never would have made it as an investigative reporter in the first place” . her editor , who never second - guesses her and indeed encourages to her make her articles more sensational , is no better . her paper’s lawyer is irresponsible , concerned only about libel suits and concluding that because the articles were written absent malice towards the wholesaler ( hence the title of the movie ) he could not successfully sue .

“this website has been created by a small team of students who share a deep appreciation for orgyen tobgyal’s unique way of presenting the buddha’s wisdom , and have resolved to make his teachings available in english to enthusiastic dharma students .
if karma had bothered to read some of djk’s posts , reprinted in urltoken , he will find djk’s criticisms of the commercialisation and the quality of the teachings at buddhist centres like rigpa , and in his latest book ‘ guru drinks bourbon’ , djk was unequivocal in stating what he thinks of sexual relationship between teacher and student . and if karma were to dig a bit deeper , he may find the reason why some teachers stopped teaching at rigpa .
it is a very interesting article alltogether , putting the issue of abuse and exploitation in quite a broad context .
tenpel , as it was a private meeting i am not sure this type of speech is illegal in france .
back in the late seventies / early eighties , when the subject of sogyal came up , situ rinpoche told me he wasn’t at all sure that sogyal was actually the incarnation of the great terton sogyal . he expressed doubt .
“this year’s governors awards reflect the breadth of international , independent and mainstream filmmaking , and are tributes to four great artists whose work embodies the diversity of our shared humanity , ” said academy president john bailey in a statement .
viola davis , of course , will head back to shondaland to film season 4 of
how to get away with murder .
she will also play the legendary abolitionist harriet tubman in a biopic about the underground railroad .
critics and audiences loved him , however , when he played moody southerners in films based on tennessee williams ' plays

the history of movies without paul newman ? it ' s unthinkable . . . . his powerful eloquence , his consummate sense of craft , so consummate that you didn ' t see any sense of effort up there on the screen , set a new standard .
äh , i checked . i read some of the comments of kp ( also before you complained , as i remembered when just checking two of them ) and there was nothing wrong with them . when i get it correctly , kp didn’t attack you personally but disagreed with the content of what you write and has another pov and experiences . sharing and disagreeing with you is not an attack on your person – maybe on the content you wrote but this is always part of any discussion to disagree with the content of what a person says . i don’t get how this comment could traumatise a survivor ? ! please give examples or good reasons to substantiate your claims . thank you .
” i argue that early tibetan buddhism replaced much of the mother goddess worship and incorporated all the female symbolism of the lotus goddess into chenrezig [ the bodhisattva of compassion ] . the tulku system was what put the tin lid on any potential for women to gain equality in the religious sphere , or for their voices to be heard . ”
i am rather alerted about these developments / most seem to fall pray to these tactics of sidestepping . the reasons of my doubts or alertness are : 1 ) the rigpa policy is to denounce the letter of the 8 as „mere allegations“ , 2 ) they train people in „deep listening“ but have never deeply listened to the women and men been harmed and manipulated , 3 ) healing would include to give space and voice to those been harmed and not occupying space and the mind of others with the own feelings , distracting from the pain and sufferings of those been harmed .
but the play ' s exuberant theatricality is always vivid ; so much of it is about acting . and what better theatre to demonstrate this in than the globe , where a quick , responsive audience becomes part of the action .
the point is that either you have wisdom or not . wisdom includes to see the longterm and short term benefit and the longterm and short term harm of actions . it should be obvious that this was not the case , therefore it was not wisdom . to call the lack of wisdom “crazy wisdom” is crazy in and by itself . the lack of wisdom is called ignorance or confusion in the teachings of the buddha ( and even in the world . )
ok , it just dawned on me what karma pemo is alluding to . though i believe he’s certainly incorrect to claim dkr is an ’emanation’ rather than an incarnation , the term ’emanation’ is used to delineate the various incarnations of jamyang khyentse wangpo as the body , speech , mind , activities and qualities emanations of him . dkr is considered to be an activities emanation ie . he embodies the quality of activity but he is definitely an incarnation of jkw . urltoken
today tulkuunfortunately [ has ] become almost like the designation of a certain status , a social status . so , among these tulkus , some may have that sort of quality , the possibility to choose their rebirth , some not .
regarding sogyal lakar’s abusive and unethical behaviors . this response , published on his website , seems to be initially about a comment that one of the signatories of the letter , sangye ngawang , made on facebook . however , in the process of responding , otr addresses what he “has heard” about sangye and the other seven signatories “turning against” sogyal lakhar .
the actions of some of the teachers of precious buddhadharma do not reflect the true meaning of the teachings or of buddhist practice . it is time to start evaluating these masters , their conduct , and stop promoting abuse ; physical , financial , sexual and emotional . if tibetans will not call out these teachers , we must . there are ethical teachers out there , but we must each examine our teachers carefully . not to expect perfection in their appearance and behavior at any moment , because some of what appears to us is very subjective and interpreted . but to identify actual abuse and call it for what it is , must be done if the precious dharma is to survive in the west .
