Difficulties to meet with one's Teacher
Difficulties to meet with one's Teacher
I have difficulties to meet with my Vajrayana Teachers. One is Shakya Trizin. I can't travel. One Teacher who lives in my country is far away. I'm not sure when I can ask him few questions. What I can do meanwhile? I think I have done all these years only a lip service. I don't know when I can ask transmission of Narak Kongtruk Kanshak. How long time it takes from Teacher to recite it?
May all beings be free from suffering and causes of suffering

There are many methods of purification, some of which you must already have.

The Narak Dongtruk / Kongshak is not that long.
In group practices with chants etc... It takes around 20/30min. (depending on the numbers of mantra recited of course).
So I guess that a Lama could give you the lung in about 10min.

I was said it is for 3 years exceeders. When I recite confession prayer I don't remember all breakages and transgressions.

Re: Difficulties to meet with one's Teacher
Don't worry about that. The 3 year thing is a rule of thumb at any rate. We should be doing Vajrasattva everyday anyway and this would take care of theat. But just earnestly recite even if it's been 10,000 years.

“Where do atomic bombs come from?”
Zen Master Seung Sahn said, “That’s simple. Atomic bombs come from the mind that likes this and doesn’t like that.”
"Even if you practice only for an hour a day with faith and inspiration, good qualities will steadily increase. Regular practice makes it easy to transform your mind. From seeing only relative truth, you will eventually reach a profound certainty in the meaning of absolute truth."

Since they purify karma from infinite lifetimes i don't think it makes much difference if you remember the breakages. You dont remember negative deeds from previous lifetimes anyway.
