Re: Garchen Nyingtig Yabshi Germany 2018 Questions
I know lung, but what’s the difference to wang and specially Pewang?
Re: Garchen Nyingtig Yabshi Germany 2018 Questions
A pewang is a text blessing after which you can read the texts yourself but you can't pass it onto someone else. With lung you theoretically can do that.

This is what CNR told me while giving me a pewang, I never heard anything else about it.

Now I am puzzled. I have never heard that a lung authorizes you - even if just theoretically - to pass a text further. So, what are the different positions on this point, what would be the prerequisites?

Yes, there is a saying in Tibet, "Even a dog's tail can give a lung."fckw wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 8:59 pmNow I am puzzled.

Basically, if you have the lung, you can give the lung. Whether anyone would want to lung from you is another issue, since receiving a lung from someone entails commitments to that person.

What commitments does it entail?

Re: Garchen Nyingtig Yabshi Germany 2018 Questions
The same as receiving an empowerment, but not as strong.

Nothing apart from the general exhortation to regard anyone from whom one receives Dharma teachings to be like a Buddha.Lobsang Chojor wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2018 12:16 amI did think so, is there an equivalent for sutra materials?Malcolm wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2018 12:14 amBTW, this only counts for Vajrayāna materials...Lobsang Chojor wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 11:03 pm

My thanks to you all for your help.

It's good to receive this empowerment if you are practicing anything in the Nyingma dzogchen. In fact, when this was given by Kyabje Trulshik Rinpoche in 2004 Tulku Pema Wangyal told everyone to tell all their Dharma friends to drop everything and come and receive this, because, until current times, it was rarely given in public... only in small groups of dedicated practitioners.
Most of us will not actually do the practices involved, but it's a ripening blessing for all our main practices.
When someone asked Tulku Pema Wangyal about the benefits of this transmission... he said... the benefits will appear during one's journey in the bardo.

"People are fond of saying all sorts of things about others behind their backs, mentioning their names again and again. Instead of slandering others in this way, “slander” the yidam: utter his name repeatedly by reciting his mantra all the time." - Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche - Zurchungpa’s Testament - Shambhala Publications
Re: Garchen Nyingtig Yabshi Germany 2018 Questions
Mutsuk mentioned before that Khenpo Jigme Phuntsog wrote a practice manual for the Nyingthig Yabzhi. Not sure if one could approach one of his Khenpos for the transmission.

Wow! When you say "one of his", you mean Garchen Rinpoche or Jigme Phuntosk's?
Although many individuals in this age appear to be merely indulging their worldly desires, one does not have the capacity to judge them, so it is best to train in pure vision.
