Re: Drikung Kagyu Simhanada
From what I can figure Simhanada exists only in the Kriya class and guessing at Khenpo la’s suggestion to avoid black foods prior to the empowerment,it definitely is.The lineage might be different because the visualization is a bit different from the usual one.”Mahayoga” in the dissolution is just a...

Re: The underrepresented genre of personal memoir in Tibetan Buddhism
I think Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche’s Blazing splendor is an excellent example.It’s really engaging and interesting unlike other autobiographies.

Re: Comparison of Kagyu and Gelug schools?
I think it really depends on the teacher and the sangha community rather than the lineage.I have teachers in both lineages.They are really similar and it just really comes down to the teacher’s style.I’d suggest you check out both places and find out which one suits you better,carrying around some i...

Re: Shapes and colours of Tibetan hats
I'm curious about the meanings of the hats worn by lamas and monks during ceremonies. I'm particularly curious about the three styles of hat seen in this picture ; the narrow yellow hat with a "mohawk" that H.E. Garchen Rinpoche is wearing, the golden hat with a flower pattern the person ...

Re: Achi Chokyi Drolma Yidam
Yep that was my understanding. So really the question still stays, according to Drikung, why is she a enlightened dakini? I’m sincere in asking, I would like to know if anyone could point to source material. Many thanks What source but “lama authorities” are you going to get for a lineage’s view of...

Re: Achi Chokyi Drolma Yidam
Time will tell if we are passing time in waste or understanding the essence of the dharma. Devotion is not enough. Like I said... time is passing us by. Many people attend empowerment and have no idea what is happening... That is passing time wastefully. Devotion might as well be superstition... if...

Re: Achi Chokyi Drolma Yidam
I practiced Achi for many years but this sadhana is unfamiliar. So you would have to check with the lama for clarification. The one we did was transforming into Achi in peaceful form holding a mirror and a jewel in a skull cup. Then at the end visualize her on the horse in semi wrathful form in fro...

Re: Achi Chokyi Drolma Yidam
Rinpoche said that lung is enough to start practicing but definitely get the empowerment at some point.I think the 4 ngondros+any of the three roots is an okay format,we practiced like that during the retreat and it’s also fine to focus on a particular one but Rinpoche kind of wants us to do the ful...

Re: Achi Chokyi Drolma Yidam
You should ask your teacher, because experience shows that different teachers give very different explanations to different students. And yet the same sadhana text exposes the same letters to all practitioners without the slightest individual adaptations! So, who is then right: The teacher who prov...
