I find your delivery unnecessarily aggressive, bow beating and bullying. I don't think this style is very conducive to effective communication or deep listening from the audience. I feel you could lighten up a bit... relax don't take all it so terribly serious

This might not be your teaching style, but Ven. Robina is just being authentic and serious about the Dharma. The best analogy I can think of is: imagine yourself on the debating ground of a Tibetan monastery. Venerable Robina would be an excellent debater. And that is also her style as a teacher: lively and tasty. You can always choose a wishy-washy teacher that will put you to sleep, but that will not be Venerable Robina. By now you will have concluded that I simply love her teaching style.

Hi,thanks for your response I'm Sure the VRC is a lovely person and a brilliant Nun I guess my comment does come from how I perceive her style and how speaker's can affect me and my absorbing of the Dharma. I think it's more effective to be empathetic with listeners and their conditioned selves and not appear to bash them over the head with one's take on the dharma. I just think it shows a bit of arrogance to appear to think one's got the "truth" and that the listen should accept the way one sees that "truth" of the dharma. ( at least it's a turn off for me but I'm not being dogmatic about it ) We are all students of the dharma in my view and so maybe need to display a bit of humility in this regard; I don't see that as wishy - washy but I do know a central teaching of the Dharma is about the suffering of attachment! In my experience there's a lot of people in the buddhist world who can be uncritically devotional to a teacher and also live in a bubble of a particular tradition and form, and get very attached to that. For me this is not in the spirit of the Dharma. Also what's a Tibetan debating example got to do with the experience or importance of most people's understanding of the dharma? With metta ... I think!?

What is a 'turn-off' for you is your own business. I think it is sort of delusional to have a fixed idea on how a spiritual teacher should behave, how she should teach, dress etc. In all the many years of following the Dharma I have never met a teacher that made a deeper impression on my mind than VRC. VRC once told on KZitem that during her beginning years as a teacher she tried to be someone else than her authentic self. During that time someone held hands with her and told her: 'but Robina, your hands are cold !'. It was to her a sign that it just didn't work out sort of acting to be someone she didn't really was. There and then she made the decision just to be her authentic self. And that was wise of her. She remains my favorite Buddhist teacher and to me she is perfect as she is. As for attachment: attachment is not always a bad thing. For example: what is wrong with being attached to your Dharma practice? Being attached to helping others? Nothing wrong with that I would think...

I think the love of one's practice of the Dharma and in helping others etc goes much deeper than the conditioned idea of attachment. In fact it's not about one's "self" at all in my limiting understanding of the teaching. But I bow and give way to your, apparent, many years of practice and experience. Best wishes

Thanks for your answer. I agree that the term attachment in virtually all cases can be shared under the term disturbing attitudes or negative emotions. Perhaps I was teasing a bit. As for the self I cannot agree so easily. While a self centered, independent, inherent, neurotic, 'poor me' sense of 'I' is the so called root delusion, that does not deny that there is a relative self, a person that does exist, otherwise we would be throwing the baby out with the bath water. But thanks again, nice discussion.
