Re: Great Drikung Phowa

AFAIK,there is no specific empowerment.Just oral transmission accompanied by Amitabha or amitayus empowerment for long-life.So I don’t know how anuyoga samayas would come into place.My teacher never mentioned it though.

Re: Khandroma Khachod Tsering Wangmo

Because I am soooo tired of jumped-up wannabe gurus with no understanding, no knowledge and claims that are simultaneously wildly overblown and vague to the point of meaningless, that it is a joy to see someone who does not appe...

Re: The Buddha Bowl

I,for one,really don’t like the way he deals with the opposite side.Taking moral high ground and even to the extent of demonizing them.I mean ,honestly, there are a whole lot of accomplished Siddhas and masters who happened to ‘eat meat’.Would he also demonize them?But the thing is that him using al...

Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche is one of the greatest living masters, so that's a great idea. *Incredibly* kind and very good at teaching all different types of dharma.
That I would agree 100%.

There is information here: http://www.palyul.org/eng_about_monasticvows.htm It is quite clear though that only the very basics are cover...

They enter their Order's monastery or nunnery and then the Order provides for their food, lodging, healthcare, retirement, etc. However, that wa...
