Re: Teacher & Root Guru
Is it ok to take initial refuge from a lama that is not a part of the lineage that you are interested in? Example: I am interested in the Drikung lineage but have no opportunity to take refuge with Garche Rinpoche in person. I am traveling in the near future to the Philippines and may have the oppo...

Re: 13 Precious Drikung Kagyu Empowerments
@AmidaB, Do you mean the 12 Precious Empowerments offered by Kyabje Garchen Rinpoche at Gar Drölma in Dayton, Ohio, USA? I had intended to simply fetch you the link from their YouTube, but curiously enough it seems like those videos are no longer publicly listed, so I cannot find them presently. In ...

Re: 1000 Arm Chenrezig Empowerment
I know there as YouTube vids from Drikung Dharma Surya when Rinpoche gave this wang 2 years ago right after he turned 80, and the notes I took which included but about Nyungney if I'm not mistaken. Let me see what I can dig up. PM me if you don't hear from me in a while.

Re: Live Stream Vajrakilaya Teachings, Empowerment and Drubchen 11/10 - 11/18
Does anybody know which tradition Vajrakilaya does Garchen Rinpoche usually give? Sangtik Phurba from the Chokling Tersar normally it seems to me. /magnus Yes it was mentioned it is from Chogyur Dechen Lingpa. Thx! The sadhana we tend to use in Drikung also draws heavily upon Sangye Lingpa's Dorje ...

Re: Drikung Kagyu
Another great deal w DK, and this helps w devotion, is there’s a separation of powers. There’s the Tulku branch who give Empowerments. This is HH and Garchen, basically. Only the really universally respected guys will be your samaya teacher. You won’t get close enough to have a bad connection. Then...

Re: Drikung Kagyu
Javier, I'd be interested to know more about this "ugly Ladakhi" Khenpo Phuntsok Tendzin you're referring to. I'm not so familiar with the Ladakhi side of our Drikung lineage, though there are at least a couple represented in the film Yogis of Tibet (easily found on YouTube). I'll second M...

Re: Drikung Kagyu
:good: :good: :good: As for Achi, it's important to note that she was adopted into other lineages because people took notice of her swift ability to protect them, and that her protection doesn't seem to diminish the further from Drikung Thil you go (some protectors are limited to a certain sphere of...

Re: Queries regarding 5fold Mahamudra ngondro of garchen Rinpoche
Hi all, I am looking to start doing the Fivefold Mahamudra ngondro recently composed by Garchen Rinpoche. Does anyone know if the recording of the lung found here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AxAjmxOtMQ ) is enough to get started, or must I receive it live? Also, are there any videos or docum...

Re: Drikung Kagyu
No specifics as yet, though I'm sure it'll be released at some point. It took over 2 years of hunting and persistence to even obtain the audio files, so I have no idea what timeline we're looking at, tbh. Same goes for the stories of Tara and Achi that I transcribed a few months back. Once my work i...

Re: Drikung Kagyu
Gyalse Garchen Rinpoche's Fivefold Mahamudra ngöndro sadhana, The Excellent Path of Awakening , was only translated into English back in mid-2016, and before that very few of our Drikungpa lamas even held the transmission in Tibetan. I only know this because I played a tiny part in instigating the f...

Re: I wish to marry a Dakini
Is anyone actually interested, or was this perhaps a bit of my ego wanting to brag? I forgot to ask, but I still can if there's anyone who'd like to know why I'm constantly pinching myself...Palzang Jangchub wrote: ↑Wed Oct 03, 2018 4:45 am Pics upon request provided I get her permission.

Re: Tibetan names
[...]according to this thread at least, my name should more properly be written SÖNAM TRASHI. But when it is pronounced, Sonam Tashi is probably a bit more intuitive. Keeping in mind that there are multiple dialects cuz Tibet is such a huge place, and that said dialects are sometimes even mutually ...

Re: Tibetan names
Is my name misspelled in transliteration? I got the idea in my head that it should more properly be Mönlam Tarchin instead. Thanks for any help! You're halfway right. Mönlam Tharchin is the closest approximation in Roman alphabet. Mön is like "moon" but your mouth should be like when you'...

Uuuuummmm... *Raises hand awkwardly* What would you all suggest I do when you start dating a Himalayan dakini? We skipped a few steps and got quite intimate, but due to distance we can only go so far yet. I've never had this kind of clear sign that some major karma has been purified than finally me...

Re: Looking for a practise in Chokyi Nyima Rinpoches lineage
Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche holds several lineages, so you might want to narrow your question a bit. I know of at least three: ① He's the recognized reincarnation of Siddha Gar Drubchen and leads his Drikung Kagyu monastery in Tibet. ② His family holds the Chökling Tersar tbru his father, Tulku Urgyen. ③ ...

Re: I wish to marry a Dakini
I married a Dakini. She has taught me so much. Find someone who loves you for who you are. There is so much they can teach you. Real Dharma stuff. How to find someone who loves you for who you are? Partly, it's luck or karmic connection or whatever, mostly it's loving them for who they are. :good: ...
