Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The source of activity is the dakini and there are five kinds of activities, peaceful, increasing, magnetizing, subjugating, and the supreme activity. The primary way to perfect these is through dakini practices, and among dakinis, there are the wisdom dakinis, in space, and worldly dakinis. These vast collections of practices can be condensed into those of the three roots, lama, yidam, and dakini. The source of blessings is the lama, the source of accomplishment is the yidam, and the source of activities is the dakinis. The one who carries out the activities for the lama and the yidam is the dakini, in other words, the virtue of blessings and accomplishment is the activity, which is the dakini. Pema Khandro practice connects us with magnetizing practices. And why do we do magnetizing practice? The real essence that needs to be magnetized is not superficial things; it is to magnetize realization of the view, to magnetize the teachings on how to realize the view, to magnetize the meditation and the conduct.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Samaya is the dirtiest word in Vajrayana Buddhism.The incorrect assumptions about samayas are used as weapons to threaten people and intimidate students, to instill fear in their hearts. Instead of being properly educated about this complex commitment, the subject is left unaddressed, whispered. There is samaya in the context of empowerment but also samaya means more. Samaya has to do with how we relate to our teacher, to the teachings, and to our Dharma friends. Basically, it's a road map for our conduct and eventual realization.Entering the Vajrayana Path, occasionally, our guides let us move blindly. They don't want to talk about Samaya. Some think that if they reveal the truth, the students will run away.This is not a modern day problem, Tsele Natsok Rangdrl addressed it in the 17th Century:Obviously, the vital point of empowerment is to receive the blessings so that original wakefulness dawns in our being. In these times, [17th Century] questions regarding the nature of the empowerment, the way to implement it in practical experience, and the points of the samaya commitments, etc., are left behind on the pages of books, and masters as well as disciples do as they please and what feels most enjoyable.Be uninformed no more! This book, Empowerment and Samaya, clearly lays out every aspect of the profundity of both samaya and empowerment. Herein are detailed explanations, traditionally and in modern language about these profound topics on many levels. There are clarifications about all aspects of empowerment, lists of many of the samayas, how to keep and ways to mend, when broken.
