Alphabetical List of Ritual Remedies and Supports appendix 2 Alphabetical List of Ritual Remedies and Supports For canonical references, see, unless otherwise noted, the Derge canon. Whenever it was possible to identify a ritual text within one of the Drikungpa collections of such texts, that was preferred. Otherwise, reference is made to similar collections such as those of Karma Chagmé (CWKC-1, 2, and 3), which are also popular among the Drikung- pas. If such a reference could not be made, to provide an example, available ritual texts of other traditions are mentioned.

  • The Tulku System in Tibetan Buddhism: Its Reliability, Orthodoxy and Social Impacts
    The Tulku System in Tibetan Buddhism: Its Reliability, Orthodoxy and Social Impacts By Ramin Etesami A thesis submitted to the graduate school in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the International Buddhist College, Thailand March, 20 Abstract The Tulku institution is a unique characteristic of Tibetan Buddhism with a central role in this tradition, to the extent that it is present in almost every aspect of Tibet’s culture and tradition. However, despite this central role and the scope and diversity of the socio-religious aspects of the institution, only a few studies have so far been conducted to shed light on it. On the other hand, an aura of sacredness; distorted pictures projected by the media and film industries;political propaganda and misinformation; and tendencies to follow a pattern of cult behavior; have made the Tulku institution a highly controversial topic for research; and consequently, an objective study of the institution based on a critical approach is difficult. The current research is an attempt to comprehensively examine different dimensions of the Tulku tradition with an emphasis on the issue of its orthodoxy with respect to the core doctrines of Buddhism and the social implications of the practice. In this research, extreme caution has been practiced to firstly, avoid any kind of bias rooted in faith and belief; and secondly, to follow a scientific methodology in reviewing evidence and scriptures related to the research topic. Through a comprehensive study of historical accounts, core Buddhist texts and hagiographic literature, this study has found that while the basic Buddhist doctrines allow the possibility for a Buddhist teacher or an advanced practitioner to “return back to accomplish his tasks, the lack of any historical precedence which can be viewed as a typical example of the practice in early Buddhism makes the issue of its orthodoxy equivocal and relative.

SAKYA TRIZIN VISITS AMERICA In the Dehra Dun valley nestled between the Himalaya and Shiva- lik mountain ranges below the small Indian town of Rajpur, one finds a modest house surrounded by fruit trees. Here is the home of His Holi- ness Sakya Trizin, the crown-lama of the Sakya Order, His Consort, Damo Kushola, and their two sons, Ratna Vajra and Jnana Vajra. A far cry from the 80-room Dolma Palace of Sakya in Tibet, it nonetheless serves as His Holiness' main resi- dence and office as He guides the Sakya Order in both spiritual and temporal matters through the un- certain years of exile. A small way further down the treelined avenue of the Fajpur Road, one will often see red-robed monks waiting for a bus or busy with activities at the Sakya Center, the first Sakya monastery estab- lished in India.

  • Das Tibetische Tulkusystem: Entwicklung Und Bedeutung
    Tulkusystem Sigrun Asshauer Archiv Kyabje Ling Rinpoche (1903 — 1983) war einer der Haupttutoren S.H. des Dalai Lama: links der alte Ling Rinpoche, Mitte und rechts die Wiedergeburt in den Jahren 1999 und 2007. Das tibetische Tulkusystem: Entwicklung und Bedeutung von Egbert Asshauer Im tibetischen Buddhismus gibt es die Tradition, as Tulkusystem entstand in Tibet im 13. Jahrhun- dert und ist nirgendwo sonst im buddhistischen nach dem Tod eines Meisters DKulturkreis anzutreffen. Es beruht auf dem Glauben, dass sich spirituell hoch entwickelte Persönlich- dessen Wiedergeburt zu suchen. keiten aus freier Entscheidung inkarnieren können, um den Lebewesen zu nutzen. Im alten Tibet diente das Egbert Asshauer, der als Buchautor viele Tulkus Tulkusystem dazu, die Klöster ein Stück weit vom Adel zu interviewt hat, erklärt, wie das Tulkusystem emanzipieren und die Übertragung des Dharma durch männliche Nachfolger abzusichern. Tulkus waren im funktioniert und wozu es dient. Vergleich zu heute relativ rar, und sie waren große Vor- bilder, die den Weg zur Erleuchtung zeigten. Im Exil wächst die Zahl der Tulkus seit Jahren, was das ganze System in Frage stellt. Manche Tulkus erfüllen heute kaum noch ihre Aufgaben im Zusammenhang mit der Weitergabe des Dharma. Außerdem gibt es viele gut ausgebildete Gelehrte, z.B. an den Klosteruniversitäten, die keine Tulkus sind und doch eine wichtige Rolle für die Bewahrung des Dharma spielen. Auch die politischen Fehden in Tibet um den Panchen Lama und der bittere Streit in der Karma-Kagyü-Tradition um den „richtigen“ Karmapa haben manchen Zeitgenossen den Glauben an dieses System geraubt.

Yidam Practice The following is a general description of Yidam practice that pertains to four Empowerments that will be given by His Holiness Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang. Yidam is a fully enlightened being who is the focus of personal meditation, during a retreat or for one's life. Yidam practice is a very special tantric practice in which one transforms one’s normal, samsaric experience of reality into an extraordinary experience of the true state of all phenomena. While the teachings of the sutra- level consider ignorance as the root cause of samsaric existence, the tantric teachings identify the ordinary appearances as the root cause of samsara. The practice of Yidam is a special and profound method to quickly transform ordinary appearances into enlightened appearances.

  • Buddhist Vegetarianism - Wikipedia
    Buddhist vegetarianism - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_vegetarianism Buddhist vegetarianism Buddhist vegetarianism is the belief that following a vegetarian diet is implied in the Buddha's teaching. In Buddhism, however, the views on vegetarianism vary between different schools of thought. According to Theravada, the Buddha allowed his monks to eat pork, chicken and fish if the monk was aware that the animal was not killed on their behalf. The Mahayana schools generally recommend a vegetarian diet; according to some sutras the Buddha himself insisted that his followers should not eat the flesh of any sentient being.[1] Monks of the Mahayana traditions that follow the Brahma Net Sutra are forbidden by their vows from eating flesh of any kind. Contents Early Buddhism Views of different schools Theravada View Mahayana view Vajrayana Common practices Theravada Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Taiwanese traditions Japanese traditions Tibetan traditions See also References Further reading External links Early Buddhism The earliest surviving written accounts of Buddhism are the Edicts of Asoka written by King Asoka, a well-known Buddhist king who propagated Buddhism throughout Asia and is honored by both Theravada and Mahayana schools of Buddhism. The authority of the Edicts of Asoka as a historical record is suggested by the mention of numerous topics omitted as well as corroboration of numerous accounts found in the Theravada and Mahayana Tripitakas written down centuries later. [2] Asoka Rock Edict 1 dated to c. 257 BCE mentions the prohibition of animal sacrifices in Asoka’s Maurya Empire as well as his commitment to vegetarianism; however, whether the Sangha was vegetarian in part or in whole is unclear from these edicts.
