You’re asking about the Tsok text? Or a longer daily practice? The more extensive text than just daily practice. So is it the Tsok offering text? This is Putri Rekpung. I always thought of that being distinct from Namchak Putri. Very related, obviously. If this is what OP is looking for, then yes f...

I covered mine with a kathak. I find that material appropriate and good looking.

That was one of my ideas. Thanks, Ayu

Oh, I see. When you said determination, I thought you meant viriya paramita. My mistake.

I thought he meant Adhiṭṭhāna pāramīta.

Is that one of the paramitas in Mahayana?

Hi all, I have several framed thangkas hanging (not in traditional brocade, but a modern frame). I'm trying to come up with a way to cover them up that looks very nice and not makeshift.

As an aside (to the topic) - i thought empowerments were until Buddhahood; not just for this life.

I remember Malcolm saying here before that since empowerments are taken onto the body, they only last for this lifetime. Like pratimoksha vows, but unlike bodhisattva vows.

Lacto-ovo vegetarianism is actually really easy. I have been lacto-ovo for over 20 years. Originally I was training hard at least five times a week. Now I am 50 years old and still train hard at least three times a week, and still vegetarian, with no health problems at all. In a pinch (if you are a...

I thought a ngakma would be something more specific, with hair empowerment, etc. Usage of the term is complicated and varies among communities, from what I understand.

Does that make the head of the lineage a Nyingpapa?

Lay female practitioners would be ngakmas.

However, my understanding is you can learn and “practice” together in closed private groups within a sangha that has the permission and ideally transmission. However the melodies are not intended to be heard by the public. Oh, I must have misunderstood. That is all I really meant was happening. Alt...

Really the Four Feasts are secret and intended for serious yogis who really do them according to the proper times of day, in retreat. I’m not sure why they have started being used in public group contexts by some these days, however this is unusual and not how the tertons intended it. I seem to rec...
