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
I have neither knowledge nor experience of her. So why bother to post? 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...

Leaving buddha by Tenzin Lhakpa
Hi guys, I’m wondering if any of you have read this book.If so,what are your thoughts about it.I’m thinking of buying it just to find out what happened that supposedly dedicated monk.Then again,it might be considered taboo to read such books(slandering the three jewels)?As someone with a pro-Buddhis...

Re: Resources for monastic ordination
There may be some options, but it may be very difficult to find ideal circumstances. Namdroling, which is of the Palyul lineage of Nyingma, seems to be an option. 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...
