Hi Everyone! We are building an online Buddhist Encyclopedia, initially in English and in Chinese. The person who is the author of the idea is a remarkable Buddhist Lama, therefore I have full confidence that this project will become very beneficial for those who seek. We are in a very early stage w...

Re: Rajapadanam sasanam- the king is the first donor
Also its wrong to think there is no democracy in nature because we are a part of nature. Everything humans build, even if it destroys nature, is a part of nature. To think there is a separation between ourselves and what is natural is the fundamentally wrong view that produces our arrogance that ma...

Re: Rajapadanam sasanam- the king is the first donor

Re: Rajapadanam sasanam- the king is the first donor
I have mixed feelings about China. I don't want innocent people to suffer, but I want the Chinese government to come to an end. I want their political power scattered to the winds. I want their wealth to collapse and vanish like smoke. I want those responsible for the perpetuation of the many horro...

Re: Rajapadanam sasanam- the king is the first donor
But most importantly, it is the government regulatory body who must have the right attitude and approach. Then the rest of the society will follow.... What is needed from a goverment? 1) tons of money to do buddhist projects 2) government should appoint the right people in charge of this sort of ac...

Buddhist China vision
In my opinion , China is ripe to engage with Buddhism. As a matter of fact, they are already the biggest Buddhist donors, but much of their Buddhism is very political and in opposition with Dalai. But china has all the preconditions to become a major Buddhist state. They can t stop people to be rel...

Very interesting Topic, Thank you for this. I know a friend who is from China and he is working for the government.

Re: Dorje Phurba/ Vajrakilaya
You know Earth Dragon the normal way in Vajrayana to approach a deity like Vajrakilaya is like this; 1. Request the empowerment, the oral transmission and explanation of the practice from your heart while presenting an offering. Repeat many times if necessary until your Guru accepts your request. P...

Re: Rajapadanam sasanam- the king is the first donor
Welcome to the Kali Yuga, the Dark Age. I think the best we can do is become masters ourselves and influence those around us. Many of you know what I'm talking about. The master's presence, his charisma that causes you to heed his words. Konchog Jugney, one of Padma's 25 diciples? I agree, Kali Yug...

Rajapadanam sasanam- the king is the first donor
How to make Buddhism flourish again amongst humans? To cut the story short, in my opinion Buddhism has flourished only when it has strong State( government ) support. For example Asoka the Great, who made Buddhism international. And Trisong Deutsen, who brought Buddhism to Tibet. And the rulers of...

Re: Dorje Phurba/ Vajrakilaya
Lots of information and links have been posted already. I thought I'd add links to the books I know of. Given its widespread practice there is quite a lot written about Vajrakilaya including commentaries on the practice such as The Practice of Vajrakilaya by Khenpo Namdrol Rinpoche. Martin Boord's ...
