Re: Damngak Dzod - Treasury of Precious Instructions 2024

Yep I was too hasty to look at the dates, not the first time or last time that I am mistaken. :rolling:
Good that it is next year! The end of this year a lot of happenings.
I think every one should strive to take part on these big happenings.
Buddhas will help us.

Re: Damngak Dzod - Treasury of Precious Instructions 2024

Very nice, thanks for posting. And once one go here one should try to go to sikkim for the Ati yoga section for rinchen terdzo.
I might be around there. Just got five years visa for India, just 80$

The ethics when receiving lung transmission?

When lung transmission takes for weeks, months.
Would it be ok to listen to the lung transmission and same time read buddhists texts
from laptop?

Yep same man. I think every one got his paid orders in the end?

Re: Because the Dharma cannot be owned, it cannot be sold

There are better ways to make livelihood than selling dharma in a "cult" environment. This (fake) dharma that are being sold is of course made with strings, attachments, so that the milking can continue. No one want to loose a customer. So, what are you doing to make the teachings availab...

Re: Because the Dharma cannot be owned, it cannot be sold

Is starving an ideology? I think it's strange that you consider existing in the relative world separate from practicing Dharma. Be realistic. Honestly, this has been done to death. Thinking one shouldn't have to pay in some form for Dharma teachings is the utmost greediness, imo. IMO, you are alive...

Re: Because the Dharma cannot be owned, it cannot be sold

My point is really: if we're doing all this and then thinking 'yeah, but the relative world is real and we all gotto eat' then we are wrapped up in some ideology rather than practicing Dharma.

Re: How do I explain the costs/fees of "services"?

You are a customer and you are paying for the services.
But you can do it your self too. No one is saying that a
fixed donation man could perform it more holy than you.

I am not saying it is bad or good, it is what it is.

Re: the difference between Prajñāparāmita and Madhyamaka

Completely different things.
Study prajnaparamita texts. You will do fine and know what most 90% Buddhists dont know.
Madhyamika is secondary studies.

Lineage vs. self proclaimed teachers in dzogchen

How can we recognize a teacher who is not a valid teacher in dzogchen? How can we recognize a teacher who has a genuine dzogchen lineage behind him? Or is it formulated mistakenly there is no genuine dzogchen lineage at all? Example if I have never practiced what I am teaching, but I have received a...
