Re: popularity of self initiation in the various lineages

Many paths to the mountaintop for the ceaseless variety of beings :namaste: I was just curious if the ritual was something universal. I was quite surprised at how many people at the centre here were involved in the Yamantaka self-initiation, because it is a quite a complex and demanding ritual with...

Re: popularity of self initiation in the various lineages

But ther is no need to be sad - from other POV, in HYT you will never find Dzogchen, contrary to Inner tantras where it is always, as I know :smile:

Re: popularity of self initiation in the various lineages

I don't know so much about self-empowerment and so can't tell you if there is a difference between HYT and Mahayoga self-empowerment. In general I think there is quite a lot of differences between HYT and Mahayoga/Anuyoga/Atiyoga. /magnus Yes. So I think in Inner Tantras there is not this "sel...

Re: popularity of self initiation in the various lineages

I don't know anything about HYT I been practicing in the Chokling Tersar tradition for a long time now. Self-empowerment is a part of the the Dzogchen cycle I practice. I am not sure how important it is and what I use when doing tsog, mending and purification is just a few lines in the text, but it...

Re: popularity of self initiation in the various lineages

Excuse me for more questions: training in the development and completion stages is done through sadhana practices such as Rigdzin Dupa Is Rigdzin Dupa a sadhana of anuyoga? self-empowerment is a practice just like tsog Is it for example for HYT not far more than as ordinary tsog? to practice the Mah...

Re: popularity of self initiation in the various lineages

"It has been said that the Longchen Nyingtig marks a critical point in the merging of the Great Perfection with the rituals of mahayoga, the assumption being that from the fourteenth century onward, Great Perfection cycles came to incorporate more and more mahayoga material, and that this beco...

Re: popularity of self initiation in the various lineages

I know about a number of Nyingthig cycles and they all have Maha and Anu in them. /magnus Is Shitro initation there a Mahayoga? Take we for example Longchen Nyinthig. Where is there Mahayoga? Yes, the Shitro mandala is from the most important Mahayoga Tantra, the Guhyagharbha Tantra. One Dzogchen c...

Re: popularity of self initiation in the various lineages

You probably don't know what a self-initiation is Mariusz and for this reason you object. I'm very familiar with self-initation from my prior knowledge of Gelug HYT, but I've never met this kind in Nyinthig so far. However HYT it is not strictly the same as Mahayoga as I know, so even here can be a...

Re: popularity of self initiation in the various lineages

I was going to use the Asanga story as an example. Come to think of it, any of the Mahasiddhas who discovered Tantras-Luipa, etc.- would be much the same. it is particularly discused when Umapa with Yamantaka: http://www.dharmawheel.net/viewtopic.php?f=102&t=5770&hilit=yamantaka&start=9...

Re: Tradition of Oracles in Gelug

I checked with Geshe Sonam at breakfast about the Lama Umapa stories in Je Rinpoche's biography and he told me Umapa was not functioning as a Kuten (medium) and nothing he has ever read has characterized his relationship with Manjushri as being like that. I realize this is the opinion of one Geshe ...
