"The Kâlachakra Tantra is the only Buddhist Tantra whose subject matter resembles the cosmogenesis and anthropogenesis of The Secret Doctrine. According to Reigle, ‘Dzyan’ is a Tibetan phonetic rendering of the Sanskrit jñâna (wisdom), the result of dhyâna (meditation), and ‘Jñâna’ is the title of the fifth and last section of the Kâlachakra Tantra. However, none of the stanzas that Blavatsky quotes from the Book of Dzyan has so far been located in the abridged Kâlachakra Tantra or in verses from the root Kâlachakra Tantra quoted in other Buddhist writings.

Just a query from a non-techie Andrew. How did you post several URLs? I would have to cut & paste one, then go out to the next site, cut it out and return here, use the Edit function and post the second, etcetera.

Is there a simpler way?

VERY easy! I post them to my "Favorites", right-click on their URL and go to Properties, right click on the URL there and copy it, then post it. You can leave it on your Favorites after that or not as you wish (it can be deleted using the right-click button). All of these sites are still now on my personal Favorites! Great stuff!

Many thanks Andrew! That was very helpful.

Nicholas-san!

Another way to simply put the URL tags before and after the url.

It would be like this:

[ url ]http://theosophy-forum.com[ /url ]

Please note that there are spaces inside the tags. ("Tags" are the information between the square brackets.) Just remove the spaces inside the tags and it looks like this:

http://theosophy-forum.com

If you separate the links onto different lines when you first write the post, they will appear on different lines in the actual post.

There are other features that can be added. Let me know if you are interested in learning them.

Christian,

For me, it is not an over-concern for copyright. I consider myself a researcher in the field of Theosophy, and giving the source for a quote is all-important when writing a research paper. Whenever I see a great reference in someone else's article, I pull that book out and take a look.
