Re: Investigating fake lamas
I am not so sure I would consider Trungpa's students doomed. I get where you are coming from, still... you have an awfully odd hobby. Thanks I do" have an awfully odd hobby". When I get emails from those who thank me for the information it does seem worth it. I only wrote about Trungpa be...

Re: Investigating fake lamas
By asking the question (ie investigating a lama) when it needs to be asked (ie if you are considering receiving teachings from them) and not asking it just to satisfy some sort of paranoid crusade or for a tittilating conversation topic. Well said...I dos not see any good whatsoever in trying to di...

Re: Investigating fake lamas
I believe that this thread is more in line with a true Dharmapala practice.
It is in my opinion that it is right action and speech to protect our brothers and sisters in the Dharma.
Evil flourishes when good men or women do NOTHING.

Re: Investigating fake lamas
Are their Kutens that have shown a higher level of time that they are possessed by the Dharmapala then most Kutens?
Have any shown a possible inner twining of their life energy with the Dharmapala's ?
In a sense they have become to some greater degree, ONE ?

Re: Investigating fake lamas
I know highly realized Masters such as the Karmapa, Sakyapa and the Dalai Lama can find and recognize TULKUS. Who would and how would you find and recognized a DHARMAPALA in human form? Is it even possible? Remember, I'm not talking about a Kuten an Oracle but a real living and breathing HUMAN DHARM...

Re: Investigating fake lamas
There are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who are supposedly dharmapalas, i.e. Mahakala.
Could they emanate as human beings?

Re: When a Tulku leaves behind no REGENT(S)
Thank you but it still does not answer my question about people self declaring themselves as regents.
Yudron, what does your teacher Lama Tharchin Rinpoche have to say about this question?

Re: When a Tulku leaves behind no REGENT(S)
Yes but they don't usually look for his reincarnation.
Is it not one of the jobs of the REGENT or REGENTS to look for their Tulku's reincarnation?

When a Tulku leaves behind no REGENT(S)
What happens when a Tulku dies and does not name anyone as his REGENT OR REGENTS?
Can someone just self declare themself as his REGENT or a group of his former students do that?

Re: Who can be an "Honarary Rinpoche"
I think you are starting to shift into paranoia, you see a lot of the teachers that carry the titles of Khenchen and Lamchen, have actually earnt those titles through offical scholarly and practical effort. Many Rinpoche do actually deserve the title of "precious ones". Don't throw the ba...

To Greentara If the person is a fake, con artist or cult leader what do we all do just stand there and do nothing. The woman named Marjoire Quinn Dadek aka Domo Geshe is one of these cult leaders.

Re: Investigating fake lamas
What I would look for at first is a Lama who will openly answer any background questions I have. I was a 3rd degree black belt in Shotokan Karate.

Re: Investigating fake lamas
How would you know the difference between a mahasiddha with powers and Mara or a demon with powers?
Unless you possess pure vision you just may choose the wrong one.

Re: Who can be an "Honarary Rinpoche"
So many people are now walking around with the title "Shaman". Soon many people will be walking around with the title "Rinpoche". Such sad times we live in that no one will stand up for the Dharma and the true Dharma teachers. If everyone can now use the title "Rinpoche"...
