Mani Kabum transmission requirements
Mani Kabum transmission requirements
Can anyone read this terma/text? A teacher of mine teaches from this. There's a transmission (presumably of the given chapter) at the start of every class, but I am unsure if that's required to partake in reading it. I am unsure if it's acceptable to watch the videos if I'm not there for the transmission or whether or not I can read it on my own.
Happy Pride month to my queer dharma siblings!

Not Khenpo Sodargye, but good to know. The lama in question is not famous.heart wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 6:00 amKhenpo Sodargye?

Is the lung for each chapter or is it one lung for the whole book?

Re: Mani Kabum transmission requirements
But one chapter is insufficient to read all of the book, correct?

Re: Mani Kabum transmission requirements
Most of the Mani Kabum is history, a history describing the origin of Buddhism and its arrival in Tibet during the reign of Srongtsan Gampo, and a description of his reign. Most of it can certainly be read without transmission. For some of it, one should have empowerment of the King's Tradition of Avalokiteśvara. Those are the Vajrayāna instructions at the end of the second volume of the text.
