I think I remember hearing someone mention such a practice some years ago, but I can't find anything about it now.

Mawey Senge. One of the 12 manifestations of Guru Rinpoche from Tukdrub Barchey Künsel.

Nagas are often associated with skin diseases, urogenital diseases, some cancers, some mental diseases, some epidemic diseases, and some chronic cachetic or wasting diseases. Pema Chopel, if you don't mind, could you please elaborate a little on this topic? If I understand correctly, you are both a...

So I have been doing a Manjushri sadhana of Garchen Rinpoche for a while and its sadhana says to visualize all beings becoming Buddhas, conflicts being erased, etc. However, with difficulties within worldly life, how does one incorporate the practice into improving circumstances rather than just pr...

I was curious about what different traditions of Buddhism say about "demonic" entities and how to deal with them. Parittas in Theravada, various sutras and dharanis in Mahayana, tonglen, sang & serkyem, various dokpa practices, chod, action mantas, etc in TB. Always been interested in learning abou...

From a Gelug perspective,

Gelek Rinpoche - ”The Practice of the Triumphant Ma”
Khensur Rinpoche - ”A Commentary on Praises to the Twenty-one Taras”
Ven. Thubten Chodron - ”How to Free Your Mind: The Practice of Tara the Liberator”

The future ain’t what it used to be.

Now, in all fairness, I don't know much about Hinduism but it occurred to me that whenever they worship mahatmas or mahavatars, the guys in question are usually dead. Does RT knows something that we don't?

But on the other hand, the cult of Trump is still way behind the Professional League

There is a divine spark in every creature, according to Hinduism. Maybe this is what those guys are trying to worship. Or maybe they badly want the Green Card and they came up with this strategy after reading "The Art of the Deal"..

Would it be accurate to ascribe this type of madness to gyalpo provocation? Definitely a kind of provocation. Fascination with purity, etc., indicates devabhutagraha, i.e., possession by demonic devas. So, what could possibly induce the provocation? Are those devas offended in any way, do they have...

https://youtube.com/watch?v=lUTuWHLiAcI There might be no more than 50-100 hospitalizations per year but we don’t know much about the number of those manifesting psychotic episode yet not hospitalized; so I wouldn’t rush out yet saying that the incidence is highly exaggerated. It could be the case ...

Would it be accurate to ascribe this type of madness to gyalpo provocation? Why not just say it has to do with the five poisons? Why is it that the gyalpos always get the rap? Of course, fundamentally it all comes down to the five poisons; in particular pride is the culprit when it comes to gyalpos...

Meh. Brazilian cemeteries are the real deal now.

That's interesting. Could you post some of those photos online?

Any ideas on this one? Preferably, a way without looking weird(no, prayer wheel fidget spinners haven't quite worked nor rapping chants). There is a practice called Avalokitesvara Korwa Tongtrug that Chogyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche often transmits. I'd say, receive transmission, get the booklet with...

Lama Tsydenov was one of the Buryat delegates who went to the enthronement ceremony of Tsar Nicholas II. It is said that he was the only person attending the ceremony who refused to bow down in front of the Tsar, reasoning that doing so would be against the Vinaya. When being told that all the other...

Doesn’t their practice somehow is a bit similar with Tibetan yogis? ( eg. everything is inherently pure, natural state - no fear or disgust ) ... I sometimes wonder if they can be liberated like this? I think at least some of them might have attained some realization akin to that of an accomplished...
