Re: Regarding Kangling used in Chod practice

Start without anything. Get melodies right, words right be comfy with visualisations and then add instruments. It looks easy but is actually quite hard to play them. Good luck Thank you!

Re: Regarding Kangling used in Chod practice

There's always the Kusali form of Chöd which tends to be short and pithy, ditching the ritual instruments in favor of an all visualization approach... Since you posted this under Nyingma, I would highly suggest you seek out the lung for the Namchö Kusali if that would help encourage you to practice...

Re: Regarding Kangling used in Chod practice

I'm with Miroku on this one. Our lamas and monastics in general make it look easy, but remember that they have months and years of repitition to learn the rituals fluently. Personally I suck at coordinating the bell and drum (the chödam in particular takes a while to even play properly, and finding...

Regarding Kangling used in Chod practice

Three questions:
1. I live in Canada. Is it legal to obtain and keep Kangling (made from human remains)?
2. If I use a wooden or resin Kangling, would it yield the same type of result ?
3. If it is legal, where does one normally obtain it?

Regards

Difference between Urgyen norla and Urgyen Dzambala and Ratna throcheng tsal

Recently came across Dudjom's Urgyen norla , Chokgur lingpa's Lama norla, Kusum lingpa's Urgyen Dzambala and Northen treasure's Ratna throche tsal. Just curious, what would be the difference between Urgyen norla and Urgyen Dzambala and Ratna throcheng tsal ? Are these all Guru Rinphoche's emanation?
