Dharma Wheel

The topic has been started in 2021. Lately it has been necroed with a general and not discussive remark. But now some try to discuss with three year old posts, which may lead to confusion. Therefore I lock the topic. Whoever wants to add anything to this topic, please just start a new topic referri...

I looked on the website where I read that overview on lineages years ago, and it's unfindable for me. Here on studybuddhism.com I found an overview about only Nagarjuna's works. Quote: (...) Among the many texts on sutra topics that Nagarjuna wrote are his Collections of Reasoning (Rigs-pa’i tshogs)...

(I believe, your question is scientific - you're looking for an overview. Therefore I moved your topic here into the Academic Discussion subforum. I suppose it fits here best.) I once saw such an overview online. It was not regarding scriptures but teachers. It showed, how e. g. many different line...

"Wisdom and Compassion": The Sacred Art of Tibet. H. Abrams, 1996

Greetings: My apartment has become a bit infested with small flying insects. They do no obvious harm, but there are more by the week. I don't want to kill them and it's too cold to try to catch them and put them outside. Has anyone seen any teachings on this topic that could be of help? Many thanks...

This forum need chatbox,not subforums. We had one for a period of time. But somehow a real conversation happened only rarely at the beginning. After some time of the chatbox's existence no talk at all took place. I have no clear idea, why. Maybe the time lag between the continents makes a real-time...

(Photo of two Dalai Lamas)

That photo doesn't show a statue for worshipping. It's a figurine in the wax museum where famous people are depicted.
So, context matters always.

When we talk about love; is it love of humanity, love of a girl, existence or love of what? I believe, it's supposed to mean 'unconditional universal love'. Or at least compassionate love. It seems to me, language (at least English and German) fails to find many different discriminating words for '...

A post with a link to pirated material and the answers quoting that link have been removed. A following off topic discussion has been split to here: https://www.dharmawheel.net/viewtopic.php?p=684044#p684044 (Even if the discussion suggests that it's okay to share pirated buddhist texts, you cannot...

I have no idea, if we need so many subforums.
Maybe threads are better findable then.
But if only very few people engage there, it might look poor.
In worst case only one or two people engage a whole subforum.

Therefore it would be interesting to read some more people's opinions on that suggestion. .

I believe, that is the quandary of this thread: If it's resticted, it's not even appropriate to mention it. Therefore, we cannot list restricted texts or deities here. One could only talk about it very generally and keep unclear about practices and texts. Maybe I'm wrong, but I assume, who engages v...

About the orator: Charles Manson, a practitioner of the Karma Kagyu tradition who has completed two four-year retreats, will share teachings and meditation practices based on texts by Karma Pakshi. Charles is currently the librarian for the Tibetan collections at the Bodleian Library at Oxford Unive...

Welcome back to Dharmawheel and a smooth living as a new Buddhist.

Because the latest communication within this thread seems to be completed, I'd like to lock this topic now. It's already quite old and I'd like to encourage you to rather start a new thread (maybe referring to this old one with a link), if there is further need of discussion. Please see our Terms o...
