Can you please say what text we were working from for the Dorje Drolo empowerment? The translator went so fast I missed the author and title of the text. Or is there a site where I can read the sadhana?Kunzang Tobgyal wrote: ↑Sat Jun 23, 2018 8:37 pm https://mailchi.mp/f27fdd425cfe/hh-dudj ... f4a440f763

Re: Requesting help with Ngondro protocol: initial mandala
Thank you very much; this is exactly what I wanted to know.
The mandala of the guru! That's what it is. It's getting dusty, so I would like to remake it.
I do try to do the 37-heap mandala at the beginning of every session of accumulations.

Requesting help with Ngondro protocol: initial mandala
I practice in the Dudjom lineage, but there's some language difficulty with my Lama and I'm wondering if you can help me with a point of form. At the very beginning of Ngondro practice, I was instructed to make a plate with five mounds of (slightly sticky) rice and place it on the altar. This is to ...

Is it okay for a lay person to lead uninitiated friends in Vajrasattva practice?
Not me, but someone I know is inviting others to do Vajrasattva practice. I'm reticent because I've been given the practice by my Lama, and don't feel respect for Lama and lineage is being upheld. Am I overcautious? It it a good thing to invite others to do Vajrasattva practice without empowerment? ...

Thank you. So what distinguishes a 'chod' damaru from a regular one? Are there other kinds as well?Tsultrim T. wrote:No they are for different purposes and not interchangeable.

Chod Damaru vs standard Damaru
It's time to buy a damaru, and I see at least two different types being sold (besides the small ones). What's the functional difference between a chod damaru and regular damaru? Is it permissible to use a chod damaru for any practice/ceremony such as Throma or other deity practices? (Assuming one ha...
