2020年4月17日 · First of all, thank you for reading my message. I'm a beginner in my path with Buddhism and I have some trouble finding on my own good literature to get better with more knowledge about the philosophy and practices. I started with Vajrayana Buddhism reading a biography of Phakyab Rinpoche and I got really interested in his practice. I started to look for …

Newman's A Beginner's Guide to Tibetan Buddhism is pretty good, although he leans a bit too much and uncritically into the notion of guru holiness and, of course, doesn't touch upon non-Tibetan Vajrayana. It's a good place to get started with. The tenth (final?) volume of the Dalai Lama's Library of Wisdom and Compassion series is coming out in a few months, I think, and …

The stainless lotus grows from the mud. Inspiration and support for Vajrayana practitioners.

Another is that Vajrayana works with the levels of practice which occur after one has passed the milestone called "direct realisation of the nature of mind." Formally, Vajrayana occurs after this point. But all kinds of stuff - even just chanting a mantra - we call Vajrayana anyway because it is from the culture of Himalayan Buddhism.

2017年2月27日 · Vajrayana Buddhism I don't know much about, except that it is a sect of Mahayana Buddhism and that it is more ritual based, more esoteric, more tantric than the Pure Mahayana Buddhism and much more than the Theravada Buddhism.

Vajrayana considers the teachings of Shakyamuni as basic or sometimes, a necessary foundation. As far as I know, when they say a teaching is secret, they only mean that more valuable than the literal mantra or practice is the proper context and …

2019年10月15日 · Vajrayana Explained I really don't think Vajrayana can be explained. The View of Vajrayana The essence of the mind of all beings Is primordially the essence of buddhahood. Its empty essence is the birthless dharmakaya. Its clear distinct appearances are the sambhogakaya.

Vajrayana is dangerous because the practice aims at seeing the union of bliss and emptiness and the practice of bliss without a clear experience of emptiness easily degenerates into desire and clinging.

2024年6月7日 · You can’t really understand this as a mere list of correspondences without incorporating it into the more basic, broad vision of the Vajrayana, which in turn is embedded in the more basic, broad vision of Buddhadharma. The Buddha recognized a problem: beings don’t want to suffer, but they do anyway.

Hello fellow Buddhists, I had a question regarding Vajrayana Buddhism. I was wondering if anyone can practice Vajrayana? I’m real interested in Vajrayana because I am more of a person to believe ritualistic spiritual practices that are indigenous or “ancient” hold more power than certain levels of meditation.
