I have a nice damaru for sale. it is not painted green, just natural skin. It has mantra inside based on longchen nyingtik.

I have meet him and received a lung from him. I saw him in boudha one time. i barley recognized him. from my limited and small view, he seems more of a scholar. hes seems up right, but for me, i didnt feel a connection...but thats me.

dudjum rinpoche is planned to give the full cycle of the tersar next year in india. great time to receive the full cycle

ahhhhh....
yea, the spelling got me too.
this looks like it. Thanks magnus

what is this wang from and what is it exactly? Namkhai Nyingpo Rinpoche will be giving it in Nov but im not sure what it is or where its from. I think it is from longchenpa. But, i could be wrong. most likely i am

philji wrote:Kechari. To my knowledge in Boudha there is a weekly Chod group at White Go pa where they usually practice a lujin Chod. They may on occasion do khandro gayjang.

the group only does the chokling tersar lujin.

i should have looked more, i got my answer,

Gongpa Zangthal

is this part of the vima nyingtik, within the nyingtik yabshi?

It all depends on the lama...

But, kyabje Rinpoche usually says, phurba, dakini, and then guru. Or sometimes not guru, since it is in the ngondro. Sounds crazy, I know....

Their is a good lama in Switzerland. I forgot his name...

Thank you for everyone's thoughts in this... In my dualistic mind, I see the difference between a meat eater and one that sells meat. And yes, I think selling of meat is not right livelihood. I would also think that if you work for a resturant, cooking meat, then you too would be acquiring the same ...

Jesse,

I'm not questioning eating meat and not eating meat. I am asking about cooking and selling meat.

I am asking a question that has probably been asked over and over again. But,.....

Is owning a resturant and cooking and selling meat would be considered "right livelihood"?

Sorry if it's a little long..... This is the transcript of an interview Ven. Gelongma Zamba Chözom had with H.H. Dudjom Yangsi Rinpoche in his house at Pharping Nepal on the 13th March 2014 Ani Zamba - Most of us we could not come here today as it was such short notice and they are now in Boudhanath...

I meet him. He has a center in Maryland. He is a scholar from what I see. He was in Boudha this year. Gave a talk but didn't go. Maybe he is good for your friend, don't know. But, I didn't feel like receiving teachings from him

Make many offerings before and after the retreat. Give as much as you can...
You could change the offering bowls after each session, if you have enough time and energy.
I too rejoice in your modivation and aspirations.

I don't think iit is really about being. Nyingmapa and a monk. Just a Tibetan monk in general. Of course he was being humble, but he was also being honest. I truly don't know the vinaya...but I don't think having a apple 6, owning a motorbike, or other things, eating at expensive restuarnts for dinn...

I was just talking with a Nyingmapa monk the other day about this....he said, that they try to follow and pracite as best as they can. But it's not reLly being a monk

I have been looking for some I formation on this terma from ratna lingpa but can't find anything. Does anything have some informAtion.....?

I agree....
I thought I read somewhere that "someone" was saying that the Buddha never taught this. Which I don't agree with, but I was just coming here to ask others. It seems like to me, after talking to a few people, they have a different understanding of the teachings of the Buddha.

When was rice first used in replace of the flowers in pujas? There couldn't have been that much rice in Tibet. So is some "new" phenonmin?
