Dharma Wheel

According to Chogyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, this is actually a semde text also: You are the Eyes of the World. The title is strange, however. https://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Eyes-World-Longchenpa/dp/155939367X I have never read it. this is really good too: https://shop.shangshunguk.org/product/oral...

The linked page says: In the 1970s, Tibetan pioneers like Tarthang Tulku, Lama Yeshé, and Chögyam Trungpa developed modern presentations of Vajrayana. Around 1990, the Tibetan power structure put a stop to that. I'm baffled - does anybody know what he's talking about? Quite apart from the fact that...

That's what this guy claims about karma kagyu.is this true?

He don't seem to claim anything about the Karma Kagyu, there is just a quote from Shamar Rinpoche?

Nice! Do you fashionistas where them low around the heart center or higher up? This may be the most valuable thing I own.

Heart!

Yes?

Hey all. I've received this lung, and just now I was trying to order a copy of the printed instructions for the practice, but none are available; neither is the mp3. I'm not sure how long & detailed this practice is, so dunno if this would be feasible, but would anyone familiar with it be willing t...

Thanks for the information, Gerardo also told me a few years ago he is old friends with ChNN. I also believe there is a strong connection between ChNN and Tulku Urgyen. TUR gave ChNN the Dzogchen Desum in Nepal many years ago, and ChNN composed songs about TUR, but he can't find them, I asked him a...

So, trying to get it right now. It really doesn't matter if you get direct introduction alone, in a small group or in a big group. You most certainly must get it several times and you do need to work with the master if you want to be able to decide on one point. The easiest way to make that happen i...

Someone mentioned this before about this article in a different thread, and that Tulku Urgyen who is Erik Pema Kunsang's Guru also gave public DIs. Also, I may be mistaken but this is the impression I am getting, all of Tulku Urgyen's sons also give DI to large numbers of people. They do, and they ...

Like Nyoshul Khen was serving Nyoshul Lungtok Tenpé Nyima tea and every time he had the possibility he asked a short question. Nyoshul Lungtok Tenpé Nyima died before Nyoshul Khenpo was born. I'm not familiar with this story but are you thinking of Shedrup Tenpé Nyima? Yes, of course it is Shedrup ...

Ok, so at dinner tonight I asked 3 different western lamas about this thread. I asked if you could say that "merit = good karma", as in something that is produced by an action before it ripens as result. I presented the opposing viewpoint as saying that there is only action and result in a two-step...

Torch of Certainty, chapter on Mandala Offerings. p.93:

"Merit" refers to the cumulative effects of meritorious actions.

I guess Kongrul needs to get educated on the subject.

meritorious actions = meritorious karma

/magnus

There is a sequence: 1. An action, which produces 2. Karma, which after some time ripens into 3. Outcome/vipaka. Or don’t you believe in “unripened karma”? Karma means literally action so 1 and 2 are the same. /magnus So you are saying that the idea of “unripened karma” is nonsense? When I sit down...

what is produced is called “merit” or “good karma”. No, the outcome of an action is not good karma, it is good karma VIPAKA. A good OUTCOME (vipaka) of ACTION (karma). It is not rocket science. If you are going to use a term, use it correctly. There is a sequence: 1. An action, which produces 2. Ka...

Interestingly I was talking to a student of Tsoknyi Rinpoche recently and learned that their group has a sadhana practice that not only includes Song of the Vajra (and the purification of the five elements), but uses the same melody. Tsoknyi Rinpoche presumably received it from ChNN though. Interes...

Also, I was wondering if SoV is practiced by other lineages. I don't think I've seen it mentioned anywhere else so far. Yes, it is. But not with ChNNR's melody. Often a part of liberation of wearing mantras. Also there are several version. /magnus Yes, if I remember correctly the melody is really s...

Is this correct?

No. Great transference mean you don't leave anything behind, not even nails or hair.

oh, if you connect the dots then the longsal series can be the answer. also, afaik ChNN said once that SOV can be found in sutras, but i don't know exactly where search for it :( Also, I was wondering if SoV is practiced by other lineages. I don't think I've seen it mentioned anywhere else so far. ...

I have received and been practicing the Longchen Nyingthik Ngondro for a few years ago. I am curious as to what my relationship is with the lineage holder who gave me the transmission? Have I taken Samaya vows? Thank you for your time!! There isnt a single answer to this question. Samaya is between...

I read this book after coming across this topic and loved it, would you have any recommendations for similar books? The books I generally read about dharma are usually about practice, and I have stopped reading those to concentrate on doing a couple of practices properly, but this was nice to read ...
