Dharma Wheel

I don't suppose anyone has experience with both the Lotsawa Rinchen Zangpo program, and with Rangjung Yeshe Institute? I'm interested in how the programs compare, specifically on the language side, I know RYI do a lot of other stuff too.

Well, I wasn't comparing DC to any other organisation or sangha I just say they lost me as a member when they didn't inform me, and all other ordinary members, of the circumstances of Rinpoches death. Am I asking too much? /magnus Well to me, yes that's too much, if it wasn't I would have also left...

Feel free to tell us. I can't imagine a "funeral" ceremony for someone who been embalmed, anyway I find it very strange that DC communicate by gossip only. If you don't know someone that knows then you are not in the loop. /magnus I always find these statements about the DCs lack of transparency a ...

As far as transparency, particular wrt to communication, almost every other Dharma group I have ever been involved in has better communication than the DC. That surprises me. I have varying degrees of involvement with the communities of Mingyur Rinpoche, Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, Tsoknyi Rinpoche and ...

I think you can't be sure of that. A lot of people might have contacted the family without that being communicated to the community. I stopped paying my membership because during the months after Rinpoches death I didn't get any communication how Rinpoche died, who was present, what he said at that...

Triten Norbutse Monastery is in Ktm. Lopon Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche and others are there: https://himalayanbon.org/teachers/

There was a single head of the community, and there was no lineage of succession, or chain of command. The only real question in my mind is trying to understand why Rinpoche left us without leadership. He obviously did so very deliberately, he knew what was coming and he knew very well the structur...

That is it, more or less. :good: If one wanted a synecdochic illustration of the nature (and the scope) of the problem, here it goes: How come those presently responsible for the DC still do not know whether Rinpoche left the will, more than two years after his passing? Not exactly a rhetorical que...

So his terma and practices revealed in his dreams are lost as a practice beyond the current people to whom they were given. That is actually often the case with terma. Kirt Indeed. So why not just accept this and talk about it in a honest and clear way? I think it's important to recognize that no o...

The Moscow community sent a question to HHDL asking about our problem of our master no longer being physically present, and no successor.

Row 109, middle paragraph. I was very pleasantly surprised by that.

The rest wasn't really depressing for me, as it's what's been known for a long time now. I wasn't expecting anything new.

An instructor from there is giving direct introduction.

I feed bad for the poor International Gakyil, such a thankless and pretty much impossible job.

If after all these years the DC can’t pull together a group of students who can read Tibetan, then the writing really is on the wall

Of course it can.

Hey bro..why dont you get a petition going to ask the IDC to ask Yeshi to take over as The Teacher for IDC...with everyone signing knowing that things will be different from how ChNN ran things? It was already asked, he said no. he said no to the idc as it is, as it has being all this years. it nee...

it is the idc that must adapt to YN, not YN to the idc. that is the way. when we studied the blue book and the blue print it was clear clear thar things must go in the way the master pointa out. the reluctancy to change the community and practitioners habits ia the serious obstacle here. we members...

Steve's message was to a particular mailing list?

To equate not having a public forum with secrecy doesn't make sense, we are open and transparent within its members, not to the public. Right, and so why do Yeshe threaten to sue anyone that talks about what happened on a meeting with 500 people? That isn't very transparent in my eyes. /magnus Not ...
