Although I was born to Tibetan and Mongolian parents, back in the 1970s, when I was studying in Land O' Pines, New Jersey, I was very often mistaken as being of Chinese descent. At that time, I suppose that knowledge on Asian cultures was still very foreign to Westerners... so being Asian usually meant...

(By Tsem Rinpoche) An ordinary person couldn’t ever survive if their head was severed. The body would just go lifeless. In this extreme symbolism, Vajra Yogini shows that by cutting off the ego, samsara goes lifeless. This rare form of Vajra Yogini expressed that divine life can be achieved even if the head is severed (ego).

Using the energy of desire, She attracts us to Her form, then brings us to full lib...

How preliminary practices lead to tantra. How it is connected. How Lam Rim, Three Principal Paths, four preliminary retreats support Tantra and lead to tantric attainments. It is so important to know these preliminary practices lead to tantric attainments and how so. Witho...
