“Shakyamuni” means “Sage of the Shakyas” (more or less).

Re: At what point does one become a Bodhisattva in the Tibetan schools?
Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoches Twitter account posted this a few days ago:
If you aspire to be a bodhisattva, if you would love to be a bodhisattva, if you dream of being a bodhisattva, then you already are a bodhisattva.

Re: There's a reincarnation of Chogyam Trungpa and emanation of Padmasambhava?
What I mean by maturity is to acknowledge that just because someone engages in behavior that one does not like or is predisposed to define as being 'abusive' does not mean that it is abuse. Especially when dealing with a complicated tradition where transgressive behavior is an aspect, and often the...

Just letting you know that the tone is disrespectful towards students of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Its not your lineage and you dont like it, we get it.

Re: Bodhisattva Vows and Bodhicitta Upkeep
To me, this it the core of all practices: Keep unfolding Bodhicitta. Formal meditation like Sadhana sessions are like squeezing out the Bodhicitta and the in-between formal meditation is trying to remember it. I'd say don't be too hard on yourself, this is real work. Maybe make it a goal to be bette...

Re: Chogyam Trungpa's The Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma
My intention is not to start another "Trungpa Rinpoche" controversy discussion, but the direction of some posts incline me to post a broader comment. Trungpa Rinpoches behaviour certainly wasn't what you would except, it raised a lot of criticism, especially in the Tibetan community. He di...

Re: I am struggling. Was consciousness the most important aggregate according to the Buddha?
Thanks, I did meet Mingyur Rinpoche in person, although it was during his book tour, so I just got to listen to a Dharma talk and get a book signed (which is already more than I was asking for). Couldn't converse with him directly, which is hard, since he is a very busy and popular teacher. To be c...

Re: I am struggling. Was consciousness the most important aggregate according to the Buddha?
I think it is hard for me to trust a teacher. Despite seeing the wonderful qualities of Mingyur Rinpoche or the outstanding knowledge and wisdom of people like Ajahn Amaro, I am afraid of following someone and getting hurt by following a wrong path. That insight actually is a good start, I think. I...
