Tashi delek, Chodpas! For an exemplary teaching on how NOT to practice Chod, please enjoy a new translation of a brilliant short satirical piece by the renowned nineteenth century Nyingma lama Dza Patrul Rinpoche. "Town-roaming Chod practitioners" is a unique mock-ritual that hilariously critiques bogus Chod practitioners. Available to read and/or download at http://www.zangthal.co.uk/files.html

Man, that Paltrul Rinpoche was a card!

Great stuff. Pretty sure I've seen a few practitioners of this sadhana near Boudha.......

Though I don't really know what Chod is, something like this is applicable to every form of religion.

Thanks for sharing, yeah.

Please tell me this is part of an actual genre of texts (is satire really a thing in Tibetan?). If so, where can we find more?!

Reminds me a little of Jamgön Mipham Rinpoche's work on the Four Schools of TB (too bad he didn't poke fun at Jonang, or Bön for that matter...)
