What costs 500 USD? The Gelong Lodrö Sangpo version (4 volumes) costs 150 USD in total. The paperback of Pruden's version is 50 x 4 = 200 USD, and the hardcover of that one is out of stock so it's an expensive third-party store price. Get either the Gelong Lodrö Sangpo version, or the paperback of P...

We talk about karma in principle, and I am fixed (determined) on understanding it in its correct view. But not to just understand and talk about it. I want this to be done already. I'm fed up with being ignorant. Since you read French, you can get Valle-Poussin's original translation of the Abhidha...

Here is a segment from Distinguishing Phenomena from Their Intrinsic Nature: Maitreya's Dharmadharmatavibhanga with Commentaries by Khenpo Shenga and Ju Mipham . To me it seems to reconcile the points made in this thread. Saying that, I don't fully grasp the meaning of sentient beings mutually caus...

I have not had a DNA test done, but I am very curious, especially since it can give you results much further back than any genealogy research can give you. With regards to the traditional genealogy research, there's my mother and there's my father. On my father's side I know very little (I also have...

Something Jeff Watt wrote when the book came out: What is not stated in this current translation is that this text attributed to and written by Mipham Rinpoche is based on the work of Zhuchen Tsultrim Rinchen (1697-1774) of Dege Gonchen Monastery. Zhuchen was the chief editor of the Dege Tangyur an...

As you can see here (2014 report): https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-press-2014/press-freedom-rankings There's three categories: Free, Partly Free, and Not Free. USA while having a score of 30 certainly is not "awesome" ( unlike Norway, Netherlands, and Finland with 1 as score ), it's certainl...

There is nothing wrong with ignorance, but it is easily remedied. One of the few positive things about this age of corruption is that knowledge on pretty much any topic is more easily accessible than it has ever been in the history of humanity Yes. It means you sit down and do your homework. You ca...

Malcolm, I've seen a number stories in Norwegian media lately of people who are fishing, and upon gutting the fish, they notice that the entire stomach is filled with plastic. In one large cod, a plastic bottle was stuck in its stomach. It's horrible. And it shows that the plastic just moves around ...

You feel it is an immaturity. What do you mean by that immaturity, and which countries do you feel are mature? Human culture is in it's adolescence, metaphorically speaking. Almost all societies now are very immature. Any culture that allows firearms to the public, doesn't have good education for k...

This is interesting:

BTW, it looks like this page has been taken down.

Very interesting.....maybe she's getting harassed...

Or maybe someone realized their error.

I want there to be Buddhist teachers and communities out there that reflect the cultures and people they connect to, but without corrupting or distorting the Dharma. Many Buddhists think Tibetan Buddhism is corrupt & distorted.... That's because those Buddhists you're referring to are clueless and ...

Have seen this as a Karmapa honorific, but what do the words Dezhin Shegpa (Shekpa) mean?

de bzhin gshegs pa = Tathagata.

I wonder if there's the possibility of a misunderstanding or miscommunication having taken place here. That the Nechung Kuten never said that she is an oracle of Mamaki. Or that this was poorly communicated. Or that this woman is deliberately marketing herself as such, when she never really was sai...

Just to echo an older discussion on the topic of oracles, JKhedrup, who spent some time at Sera Je: I just checked with Geshe Sonam now to confirm what I have relayed here is accurate. He said every lama he has heard teach on this topic has stated that fully enlightened Buddhas cannot manifest throu...

Thank you. It all looked a bit sketchy, but as you say the book “does contain some actual Buddhist concepts.” If you look hard enough and use your imagination, you'll find "Buddhist concepts" in the Twilight series as well as Fifty Shades of Grey too, but I wouldn't really read those books. That af...
