Re: Cost of retreats USA vs. EUR

Re: Upcoming translation of Moonbeams of Mahamudra (2019)
How does some one get Elizabeth Callahans translation of ocean of certainty, I got it right after it was printed by going to Seattle and getting it , but. After if one wrote to the publisher they would just ignore any letters.

Re: Cost of retreats USA vs. EUR
I think , that when you charge exorbitant amounts, you change the teaching,you become a business with something that you're selling. We, in all our behaviour, should embody the teachings. Does the end justify the means.

Re: Cost of retreats USA vs. EUR
Well, from what I hear from many Buddhists , this vajrayana has developed a bad reputation,for being for wealthy people, being very into making money. Are lots of these expensive things necessary. When I did three year retreat in Canada under Kalu Rinpoche it cost Ed 300 a month. What are people try...

Re: Dharma Fellowship
Rodney devenish's claims have changed on his website over the years. In the past, before he established his centre on galliano, he emphasized this Tulku claim on his website?. Now he doesn't mention it on his website very much. Just talk to namgyals senior students , ask them if they know anything a...

Re: Interview with Khenchen Rigdzin Dorje on the Nyingmapa V
when i read this stuff about people sending donations to asia, its very upsetting to me , because i dont see people trying to use the money to support monastics here. Many tibetans try to take money out of our part of the world , and dont support the development of strong monastic sanghas here. They...

Re: Direct introduction. What is it?
when you make remarks about the differences betweeen zen and dzogchen , you should know that the well known Vairotsana received zen lineages and that later on , i believe it was rongzom who also recived zen lineages.
