Dharma Wheel

Mahamudra is the most effective, as it accomplishes all the paths at once. Mahamudra is not a deity practice tho.

I guess, it is also because Tantra is kind of practice of a secret society with ita own rules and conduct. Tantra is a whole different culture and it doesn't necessarily adapt to the main culture where it is practiced.

The 'really?' was in response to the idea that someone felt that they would go mad if they did not have their mala upon their person. Really? I get it. Mala starts to feel like your shadow if you use it long enough. I guess it's almost like you would stop wearing your underwear suddenly. I think it...

When I stopped wearing my mala, it felt like I was going mad and that I has removed one of my limbs.

I don't get why people won't wear them. All the blessings of your sadhana carry around within your mala.

Important point: how you see your guru affects on what kind of blessings you can extract from her. If you see her as 1st level Bodhisattva, you get the blessings of 1st level Bodhisattva. If you see him as a Samanthanbhadra, you get the blessinga of Samanthabhadra. If you see him as an ordinary bein...

Well, when Guru Rinpoche said those words, he was talking about himself. So probably nobody on this website Yes, but many teachers put it as an example how practitioners should act. That’s my point. *Even* GR upholds this standard. So it’s completely pointless speculating about whether you or someo...

Yes, more or less 12 years of examination, then one can be sure to take the leap. A lot of people don’t want there to be any “leap” ever. I think that’s the mindset DKR is addressing. That's why we have stuff like Guru yoga. Not everyone sadly has superior faculties, like Kukkuripa had. For me find...

....one should have quite clear conception what Buddha is and what Buddha is capable of

Okay, I’ll bite. What’s your idea?

You know, there's quite excellent description in mahayanauttaratantrashastra of all the bodhisattva levels etc.

Do all Nyingma accept the validity Narak Kong Shak? Thank you. "It is known as one of the most powerful and important methods or practices of confession within the Nyingma tradition, . . . " http://www.rigpawiki.org/index.php?title=Narak_Kong_Shak Does all of Nyingma believe it can repair...

If you have read sutras from all the three turning of the wheel, one should have quite clear conception what Buddha is and what Buddha is capable of. Because of our karmic obscurations, we cant see our guru like Ananda did, or Manjushri. Luckily, we have enough merit to have instructions to generate...

If you have received Mahamudra transmission that is the most profound way, as it is the practice that will accomplish all the other practices at once.

If you want to progress fast, you need to find your perfect teacher with whom you have karmic connection and have unfailing devotion to whatever your root lama says. This is the essence of all the practices. One must be capable of understand what lama says then, and that's not granted by devotion. ...

Whole thread begs a question would the reception been different if the recognised had been Tibetan shaman... As for whether or not she engages in this practice, you will have to ask her personally. However, it is standard. I don't have the burden of proof on this one. It would be up to you prove tha...

No one is upset by you. And you are being entirely too credulous. I didn't mean upset by me...I ment upset about this woman & what she is advertising about herself. .....i don't see it as a new age scam. ..I actually believe this is legit. It took a year to prepare for this. The photos. ... Als...

Thank you all for your answers. R -- I hope this runs in your family as well. My mother's side of family are Sami people, hunters, and they've used this ability, to foresee, to track down animals, find good fishing spots, etc. And more recently, to see whether one should eat in a sketchy restaurant....

Awesome.

Can you pm me if you have any info? I want to find these guys and receive empowerments and everything.

Was Lama Dawa Rinpoche like the last out there who used to do this?

I hope this tradition is not lost already...

Just curious:

Did he give pointing out instructions there?

Hi.

If anyone has the text, I would highly appreciate if one could kindly pm it to me.

Received empowerment from DKR in Vancouver 2015.

Cheers
