Dharma Wheel

I think, the subject line of this topic is not correct. It's impossible to give advice on each and every Tibetan teacher in general. They are individuals after all. My Tibetan teacher has no problem with comprehension whatever question in whichever manner he receives. But he doesn't speak English ei...

Especially the organisation of the vaccines is a complete mess in Europe. I tried to find out were I can register for vaccination and the only information I got is: When I'm older than 80(!) I am allowed to register by telephone (!). If I don't get through with my call due to high demand, they're s...

School opening is a difficult topic. Germany made it's experiences now. On one side we see big psychological and inter-family problems (more hidden violence and abuse, depression, neuroses) due to shut down of schools, on the other hand our high covid figures could not decrease as long as schools we...

It doesn't matter. You think like an elephant in the glassware shop. If you ask me no one can do it. Aware of the awareness. Just one person can do it. He is the Buddha. Because of his special position. You know right time right place situation For all the other, there will always need one to confi...

Dear all, Here's a flyer for the next Zoom Boom with Elias. He's very active these days, particularly in Spain where he's re-locating from Venezuela. An English translation has been arranged. Elias says financial restrictions should not limit those interested to attend, so do apply for reduced admi...

If you talk about "one mind" you have to clearify what do you mean by 'mind'. GR is talking about the "mind in meditation" in your quote: When you meditate you have to look at your mind. In the mind there is no delineation between self and other. There only appears to be a duality when it comes to p...

Yes. Simply relax. A first grade schoolchild does not bother about high grade mathematics. It would be of no use at all. Learn a certain practice that fits good to you and study only to the extent of your capacity. Teachings I couldn't understand at the beginning became very clear later. This is bec...

It's my father's and my lama's birthday.

In general I find Valentine's Day just as ridiculous as Mother's day. It's somehow strange to celebrate love only once a year.

Best wishes to you as well. Welcome to Dharma Wheel.

They also had to merit to encounter Guru Rinpoche and be bound by him. I'm sure you did not mean it that way, but this argument could be seriously misunderstood. Particularly, if you consider the more recent Tibetan history and the fate of Vajrayana as a religion in Tibet. And if you go further bac...

Okay, I see in Könchok Chödrak's quote that this Lama even claims to be an incarnation of the unmentionable gyalpo.

I think, the question is clearified and we're done here.

Maybe he needs some warming up and comes with this idea later.

From the Buddha Maitreya Section on top of the Website-->Teachings Section--->About: The relationship of the next form of teaching is called Dharma. Dharma is a process that literally helps to initiate an understanding that there is such a thing as the Soul and how the Soul works. In Buddhism we ca...

I know many good remedies against upcoming colds. One of my family's secret remedies against a starting infection in the throat is to gargle with alcohol-free mouth rinse. It works against bacteria and viruses as well. It's also a first aid against starting herpes bubbles on the skin. Another main r...

How are you observing/celebrating?

I just said "Happy Losar" on the WhatsApp chat of my community. And I'll send the number of some accumulated mantras to the team - as a gift for my teacher.

If they offer such a high prize for the "winner" of that competition, wouldn't it be likeley their results will be flawed? I imagine many people who just tell some phantasy stories in order to have a chance on that prize. Announcing a prize for scientific results seems unscientifically to me. did n...
