What i gathered is as follows: - It is going to be 3 year cycle. This year he will give empowerment, and specific ngondro for cycle. Topic of 2nd year (2025) is ...

Re: Was karmamudra part of ganachakra in the ancient India?

I trained and initiated a consort a few years ago. Oh dear... :rolling: I received extensive instructions on karmamudra, because I received complete empowerment, lung and detailed practice instructions that lasted over five years on Guhyagarbha from Khenpo Namdrol. Then I went and practiced in isol...

Re: Was karmamudra part of ganachakra in the ancient India?

After reading this post over morning coffee, here is a serious question. This really applies to those of you / us who have been around the vajrayana world for some time.

I wonder how many people here have actual experience with physical (not just imagined) karmamudra. I'd bet the number is pretty close to zero. I trained and initiated a consort a few years ago.

Mod note: The quoted post has been removed. This is extremely disrespectful of other traditions you know less than nothing about.

Re: Was karmamudra part of ganachakra in the ancient India?

Buddhist tantra predates Shaiva movement by a lot. Mahāvairocana Tantra is 674 CE. The Niśvāsatattvasaṃhitā, which is the earliest surviving Śaiva tantra, is as early as the fifth century. You'll find that the Kālacakra mantra is derived from the Navātman mantra that appears in this text. And, even...

Re: Emptiness as "insignificance" and as "spatial vacuity"

I would like first to state my understanding of "emptiness" in two contexts, trying to condense the wording as far as possible, and then ask a question. A. Emptiness as regards dependent origination is customarily intended to mean "insignificance of material and mental phenomena"...
