initiations clean out
During the initiation given from master to follower,something is happening right?
Initiation is not only verbal permission am I right?
Interaction also occurs in what we call colloquially "energetic body", chakras etc
So,if I received initiation,what should I do to be ...purify,clean out?
I do not want to be connected to anyone and make any practice which I received initiation.

Re: initiations clean out
I dont know what because I dont know what is the difference before and after the initiation.Clean out what?
if there is a change - I want to return to the state before the initiation
if there is no difference before and after the initiation - then... there is nothing to talk about

Re: initiations clean out
Is it possible for you to talk to the teacher that gave the initiation?

Re: initiations clean out
I think you just always consider that person your teacher but you just don't practice anymore. The people who would know would be some of the Gelukpa lamas whose teachers left.
I should be meditating.

Re: initiations clean out
It doesn't really matter who the teacher was or what the initiations were, these are irrelevant details.
Are you sure they were initiations (wang), and not just ritual readings (lung)?
The best thing to do, either way, is maintain a neutral attitude towards the teacher that gave the initiations and, in the case that there were practice samaya, try (at least) to maintain a mind of love and compassion for all beings, even if you don't do the practices.

If somebody gives you a harmonica as a birthday present you don't have to learn to play it, but it was still a nice thing for them to do and there's nothing wrong with having a harmonica. If someone gives you an initiation you don't have to learn the practice, but it was still a nice thing for them to do and there's nothing wrong with having an initiation. In either case you can just put it out of your mind and continue on with your life if that's what you feel like.

Re: initiations clean out
I dont know,lung of course ,Im sure it was lung ,but wang...maybe also.Are you sure they were initiations (wang), and not just ritual readings (lung)?
its hard when your "anger" grow up...I wrote anger but this is only mental shortcutmind of love and compassion for all beings
"Anger" - too many negative emotions to describe them all,I cant do this and that is why Im anger
Be perfectly candid,I dont care about all beings no more,even myself (Im also being).
Everything was good, increasingly,and one day suddenly all it has become collapsed ( I hate it )
...ok, I'm out,it makes no sense to waste our time

What collapsed? Your ability to love? What caused it to collapse?Everything was good, increasingly,and one day suddenly all it has become collapsed ( I hate it )

Re: initiations clean out
Im not sure did I lost my ability to loveWhat collapsed? Your ability to love?
because Im not sure I ever had it
I lost the ability to everything (understanding,checking,discovering,solicitude )
or rather an interest.
All my passions irritate me,I stopped paying attention to the needs or suffering of others
Not my fault - not my business
Compassion, love ... something like that is in me, but I ignore it
I do not know...and it made me pissed offWhat caused it to collapse?
I had to relieve tension somehow,wreak one's anger
There was no one who I could hit for what happened because no one did anything to me
so I threw books into swamp and I feel little better for a short time
Alleviation,reprieve due to destruction
Maybe it is because of purification of karma ,shaman said all our contaminations crawl out after ritual.
Contaminations from all past lives...anyway,I have no regrets, I do not care,it was good
Only what I want now is to be free from all doctrines,gurus etc

Sounds pretty normal to me. What'd you think, you'd be Mr. Perfect after attending a ritual? You've got karmic obstacles. Welcome to the club!???? wrote:Im not sure did I lost my ability to loveWhat collapsed? Your ability to love?

Re: initiations clean out
I don't know what sort of initiation you received, I mean now you are talking about shamans so... but Vajrayana initiation merely introduces you to your own enlightened nature via the "medium" of the deity (as an expression of your own enlightened nature). Nothing is given and nothing is taken. If anything your attention is merely drawn towards something that was always there but you never took the time to notice. Now that, as I said, is what happens in the Vajrayana, I don't know what happens (and how) in shamanic traditions.???? wrote:Maybe it is because of purification of karma ,shaman said all our contaminations crawl out after ritual.

Re: initiations clean out
This is misunderstanding,initiations have nothing to do with the shaman
I have not received initiations from shaman,initiations and shaman are two different things.
Initiations I received from Dzogchen teacher, purification of karma made for me shaman
First I received initiations, I make practices according to the instructions from master
then turned with asking to the shaman.
