Secret Teachings in Tibetan Buddhism

from The Double Dorje: Modern Vajrayana Buddhism. · host Alex Wilding

When secret teachings are spoken of in Tibetan Buddhism, the word "secret" is much closer in meaning to "sacred" or "holy" than it is to the meaning of "unknown to outsiders". When the 15th Karmapa, Khakhyab Dorje, refers to the Mani, the most famous mantra of all, as a "secret" mantra, we know the word has meanings quite different from what we might expect.   A dorje and bell with an unusual design   Here are some words or phrases you might want to look up: Dorje Vajrayana Mahamudra Dzogchen Mala Dudjom Rinpoche Ekajati   #Buddhism #Vajrayana #Tibet #DoubleDorje #secret #secrecy Note that other distribution platforms do not usually pass the transcript on, and if you want to read it you may need to listen on podbean. YouTube has been making its own transcript, which was an unholy mess.  I think I have now deleted all of these "auto-generated" scripts, but it will not be possible to retrospectively add properly edited transcripts to episodes prior to September 2024.
