Don Juans views are very far from being universal. Tell you what, ask a Buddhist or Bramanist seers about self-importance, stalking, the place of no pity
or the indulgence thing, or all the other Don Juannnist concepts.
They will not have a clue about what you are talking about.
For me it is very easy to see flaws in his philosophy and character, I wonder why its so difficult for you guys.
So what is the development of mindfulness as explained for instance in the Satipatthana sutra if not stalking ? And what about the
strive to get rid of one's egotism and selfishness one can find in Shantideva's Bodhicharyavatara if not losing
self-importance ? And what about the contemplation of death (a very basic in the buddhadharma), one's own and of others, if not
taking death as an advisor ?
Nicely put.
