It took years of to embrace him as a guru and no he isn't my root guru. Not that it is your business. /magnus But you got the written certification from Changchub Dorje, didn't you? And the proof of realization? That's great. Can I see it? The situation is clearly different, as most people came to ...

But please, tell me of the times you did the same asking and questioning with Tibetan lamas. I would be really interested in reading those threads. Tibetans are also scrutinised in the same way as you and your friend, don't worry, but they seldom appear in these forums. /magnus Wait, are you saying...

So, what you're saying is that you go asking Tibetan Lamas to show you realization before you even hear them out? Can you tell me a little bit how did it go with, say, the Karmapa? Which realization did he show you? Also: if half the forum was asked to teach, and referred in writing by their root g...

Some realisation would be good, don't you think? With the qualifications you suggest half of this forum would be qualified to be teachers. /magnus So, what you're saying is that you go asking Tibetan Lamas to show you realization before you even hear them out? Can you tell me a little bit how did i...

Half an email from ChNNR is not even close to enough. I am sorry but it takes a lot to be a Vajrayana teacher. /magnus So, what does it takes, beyond the retreats, the empowerments, and your teacher saying: yes, you can teach, go and teach and putting it into writing? Some realisation would be good...

That's a pretty inscrutable statement. All of us are "verifiers of claims"--or we should be. It is irresponsible to be otherwise, IMO. I don't have a dog in this fight, but I will just say that, in general, in Vajrayana the Guru/Disciple relationship is paramount and every empowerment I h...

To put oneself in the role of the "verifier of claims" it is, I'm afraid, to seek out the sound of Whoop Whoop that is born through one's actions. That's a pretty inscrutable statement. All of us are "verifiers of claims"--or we should be. It is irresponsible to be otherwise, IM...

Hello, Malcom, Jason and everyone here at Dharma Wheel. This is Lama Fede. It’s been ages since I’ve been on this forum. Last time I was here, I was in the Sakya. How things have changed for us. I’m writing this since Lama Sherab is in mourning for Lho Ontul Rimpoche, another of his teachers and a ...

Enochian, what I don`t get is, if you`re an academician, why don`t you suscribe to one of the many academic forums for buddhism? Vajradhara knows the net is full of them, and this line of inquiry will be better supported by, say, Richard Hayes than Namdrol. Sure, if you want to listen to the screed...

Two of us from the Buenos Aires Palden Sakya will be there!

Palden Sakya (I follow Khempo Pema Wangdak)

Khempo Pema Wangdak is my root guru and, at the risk of sounding biased, I´d recommend his approach without a doubt; he´s very, very knowledgable, practical and above all, has a wonderful sense of humour.
