Post by Terma »

What are the requirements to read this (and any other of Malcolm's recent Dzogchen textual translations)?

Thanks.

The lung, if you can get it. Tulku Dakpa periodically gives the lung for Buddhahood.

He is planning to give the lung for the seventeen Tantras sometime following Tibetan New Year, 2022.

Okay thanks. No lung yet.

I will look out for Tulku Dakpa's lung of the 17 tantra's and see if it is feasible for me to receive it. Please keep us posted.

Is it permissible to receive this lung if one has not yet received direct introduction (assuming that one wants the reading transmission for the future but also won’t read the tantras until direct introduction to the nature of mind has been given)?

Do you know if this will be online or in person, and how long the lung takes (quite a few days presumably, right?)

Yay! That means it's possible! Keeping my fingers crossed for no scheduling conflicts.

Of course I do. :thumbsup:
Accordingly, if it comes down to it I will prioritize feeding my children and keeping a roof over there head. :shrug:

Yes, this is how it goes. We don’t need every lung, every empowerment.

Can you vouch for Tulku Dakpa? How should someone planning to receive this familiarize him or herself with this lama?

I can vouch for him. He was recognized as a tulku by Mindrolling Trichen Rinpoche as the 3rd reincarnation of the Tibetan master Gegong Rogza Sonam Palge. An important Longchen Nyingtik lama. I also know him personally and have received teachings and empowerments from him. His students practice Longchen Nyingtik.

Thus lung by Tulku Dakpa is being given at my request. Incidentally, all donations are going to go to a project to build a stupa at his center in Finland.

So I assume Rinpoche will be doing the lungs from Finland. This sounds too good to pass on.
