I am always amazed at why people are still confused about siddhis and attainment: why don’t you get them after years of practice? I mean, I’ve written a lot about the importance of the Guru, the Kula and Samaya, right? How the Guru and the Kula become a living mandala of blessings, and Samaya carries that into oneself, for the sake of others. But I still get the question that goes like this: ok, I’ve been practicing for 20 years and I have got no major experience, any siddhi

Another turn of the wheel.

An investigation into time, metrics, and practice By Lama Federico Andino (from a talk on Turning the Wheel of Dharma) The Fake Mala and the Awkward Question I was recently at a family gathering. My mother, trying to start a conversation with a gentleman of Chinese origin, proudly mentioned that her son—that is, me—was Buddhist.

The other day, I was talking to Benson. (You probably know Benson. Teacher, Yogi, LGBTI+ activist, all around wonderful) He is practicing the Hekate Upadesha that was revealed last year, and he asked me a significant  question: What is the difference in blessings? Why is there such a different in effect, impact, blessings from this Upadesha to others? And the answer, of course, is Samaya. Samaya, you see, is what carries the blessings of the Dakinis and Protectors that reveal

Tonpa Sherab Appears from Olmo Lungring to Expound the Nine Ways 1 Introduction The history of Bon teachings are vast, and so are the complexities by which they came into the Rime, consisting of large categories of teachings.

The System’s Collapse and the Logic of Accelerated Transformation We are living through a time of profound and accelerating change. The Vajrayāna—the “Diamond Thunderbolt” path—embodies this very quality: a vehicle of urgency, transformation, and direct engagement. It is not a slow evolution, but an immediate illumination that calls for active participation in the unfolding of reality. Reality itself is never static. It constantly dissolves and reforms, demanding that our per

By Lama Fede Dallas, last days of September. Saturday. Clearly, Autum hadn’t got the call, and the heat was on. I was at a bar where they played (American) football. I was on a layover, having been on the worst connecting flight ever(tm), almost two days to reach a place 16 hours away from my home. There were two kinds of people in the bar: the servers were all young, all beautiful with the beauty that having almost no money but a lot of dreams brings. The kind that makes hav
