Nyingma

Trungpa Rinpoche made it so clear that if you fixate on the personality, you're gonna be disappointed, but you won't be disappointed in the lineage, and you can become part of it.

Tilopa Norbu Rinpoche, who, who in a particular world was like, um, uh, the Nyingma world, um, you know, one of the greatest masters of all time, um-

Royalty

... literally royalty.

Different transmissions vary greatly between teachers, and the practice is used to develop energy channels and increase sensitivity.

Kum Nyé is related to Nyingma and Bön traditions, and Tibetan medicine, on which some forms of Kum Nyé are based, is dated by multiple sources to approximately twenty-five hundred years, the exact figure Kelder gave in the nineteen thirty-nine forward.

There's one further detail.

The nineteen forty-six edition of the book contains advice about rubbing butter on the scalp to help regrow hair.

Your page is such a resource for everything that I'm interested in in life.

You know, the sources of the Buddha Dharma within Tibetan Buddhism, Nyingma Kagyu.

There's yogis on your page.

There's always quotes.

Yeah.

But I did sense something unique in Khenpo Karta Rinpoche, and it was a really impactful time for me with Khenpo Karta Rinpoche.

Within a month from that, Kentro Lodro Tai Rinpoche, who's a Nyingma Lama, was also the same friend.

She always likes to make sure she gets credit for connecting me with Dharma things.

Become vegetarian.

So that's why in Tibet, thousands and thousands of monks, nuns, even yogis, yoginis, started to become vegetarian since like 2000, especially from Nyingma school, Nyingma bus, because...

Even a hundred years ago, Pati Rinpoche's book, What's My Perfect Teacher?, directly talks about eating meat and eggs.

So since Pati Rinpoche and those masters' teachings, many Nyingmapa started to become vegetarian a hundred years ago, especially later, in the 90s.

and many masters give this kind of teachings influence.

Now, in Tibet, 90% of Nyingmapa monasteries, no, they don't eat meat.

I didn't know that.

Wonderful.

You know, as you're saying that, it ...

This, our tradition of, you know, the Vajrayana tradition of the Kagyu and Nyingma lineages of Tibet, it, it's so great you track it right back to the roots, and it's the Mahasiddhas in India-

Yeah

... who were extremely eccentric and eclectic people.

Because from one Buddha comes another.

And that's particularly the Vajrayana view and particularly the Nyingma view and particularly within that the Dzogchen view.

But that's all very advanced.

It really begins with sit up straight, pay attention, make offerings.

So I'm just saying, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, in certain contexts, if you say, hey, you know that there's this lineage, this specific Nyingma lineage in Tibet that's not related to this and it's not related to that, and there's only five people alive and they're living, they're shivering in a cave somewhere on the Himalayas, you go, oh my God, we've got to save them.

We've got to sign people up, get their...

That's a unique and beautiful flower of the human heart there, you know, and... what are we going to do to make sure that everybody knows about them? We say that about that situation.

Uluru was very sacred to me, and meeting with the Aborigines was also very, very, you know, kind of important for me, for two reasons.

One reason is my root guru, the Gyalwang Drukpa, his father is one of the great masters of Nyingma lineage, Beru Rinpoche, a reincarnation of the great translator, you know, Beru, Beru Tsona.

So when he went to Uluru, he had a vision that, in his vision he said, the copper co- you know, this is the copper-colored mountain from his point of view.

So in his vision, he saw a crystal palace on top of the Uluru mountain.
