Re: Child Lama. I think it is ridiculous.
So do you think there is an "essence" of Buddhism which is not present in Tibetan Buddhism? And if so, what do you think that essence is?

Of those phenomena which arise from causes:
Those causes have been taught by the Tathāgata,
And their cessation too - thus proclaims the Great Ascetic.

My opinion is that you are living in the 19th century when western ignorance (and prejudice arising from that ignorance) about the Tibetan tradition was rife.alan wrote: ↑Mon Mar 12, 2018 2:05 am Tibetan tradition is not really Buddhism. Your opinion?

My opinion is that one could only arrive at that proposition in one way: through historical, scriptural and philosophical ignorance. That's the flag you have risen, well done sir!

Re: Child Lama. I think it is ridiculous.
I was trying to understand why you claimed that Tibetan Buddhism "isn't really Buddhism".
Perhaps you could explain your statement?

Re: Child Lama. I think it is ridiculous.
There's some information about Tenzin Osel Hita here:
https://fpmt.org/fpmt/osel/
Excerpt:
The international FPMT family wishes Tenzin Ösel Hita a very happy birthday and a long, healthy life. May his beneficial activities flourish and wishes come instantly into fruition!
Tenzin Ösel Hita, the recognized reincarnation of FPMT founder Lama Yeshe, turns 33 on February 12, 2018.
Ösel’s 32nd year was a full one. In addition to giving talks at eleven European FPMT centers and one Brazilian center, Ösel and his partner Indila Dora welcomed their son, Tenzin Norbu, into the world.

Ok fine, but he is not a "top notch" teacher.
Re: Child Lama. I think it is ridiculous.
There are probably a few beneficial practices but yeah it's nothing more than a Hindu corruption of Buddhist teachings.alan wrote: ↑Mon Mar 12, 2018 2:05 am Tibetan tradition is not really Buddhism. Your opinion?
