RongzomFan

He is an oxford scholar and initiated mahant.

please stop embarrassing yourself.

no he mentions that people cut the lingual frenum on AYP with cuticle scissors

I prefer reputable and authentic sources of info than internet bullshit.

By the way, don't lump me in with SJ. I don't know what hes talking about half the time.

Correct you can be a practitioner of Buddhadharma without being a practitioner of Vajrayana. I don't think SJ was talking about you.

Rongzom and HH Dudjom Rinpoche rightfully leave madhyamaka at the sutrayana level

Best book on all of this stuff: http://books.google.com/books?id=k4z9oy0ZxfMC&printsec=frontcover&dq=A+torch+lighting+the+way+to+freedom&hl=en&sa=X&ei=9xxwUrmaEYiUkQee0IGQAg&ved=0CD0QuwUwAA#v=onepage&q=A%20torch%20lighting%20the%20way%20to%20freedom&f=false

Speaking of "your own tightly held concepts and pretensions", isn't Seeker of Tao the guy who kept insisting samatha is important for other people's paths. Hypocrisy?

bump

Exactly exactly

That's Shravakayana

Ok the best book on all of this stuff is A Torch Lighting the Way to Freedom by Dudjom Rinpoche

I think you fell into the common error that you need bodhisattva vows. You need bodhicitta, but not bodhisattva vows. As far as I know. Having bodhicitta makes you a bodhisattva by definition.

Since bodhicitta is about achieving samyaksmbuddhahood as fast as possible to benefit infinite sentient beings, the mere fact they are discussing Vajrayana is an indication of bodhicitta. Apart from the 2,000+ hits on the Dharma Wheel search engine for "bodhicitta".

Only mahayana has bodhicitta.

This thread started with jetsun taking a shit on internet buddhists. So expect pushback.

You can change your karma by being prepared for the bardo of dharmata. Just don't be scared of the sound, light and rays.

Because I don't fully understand this area.

You know someone who received Karmamudra in Kalacakra?

If you are referring to karmamudra, no one (except lamas) has those trainings. So I doubt anyone can properly answer your question regarding how karmamudra is being taught.

That website is a smear job on Buddhism.

Or is bodhicitta the white drop everyone has?

Bodhicitta is semen
