Re: Dudjom Namchak Pudri
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...

Covering Framed Images
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. I have a few ideas of what I might do, but I'm looking for inspiration if anyone has already done this before and...

Re: Empowerments are for 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.Jangchup Donden wrote: ↑Wed Feb 06, 2019 9:57 pmAs an aside (to the topic) - i thought empowerments were until Buddhahood; not just for this life.

Re: Balanced vegetarian diet
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...

Re: What's the term for female Nyingma practitioner?
Lay female practitioners would be ngakmas. 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. It's been discussed here before, but one way of using the term is that anyone with inner...

Re: Dudjom Tröma Nagmo ngondro
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...

Re: Dudjom Tröma Nagmo ngondro
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...
