Most followers of the Kagyü school dislike classical exposition and logic, preferring the approach that is based purely on mind and meditation. If they are a genuine yogins, I take refuge in them! But in general this ordinary sexual desire is harmful to the Nyingma teachings, so take care, I pray! Most followers of the Nyingma school shun the taking of life but think that there is no need to give up women. The teachings of the great masters are rich in meaning,Īnd each school has its own unique vision and key instructions. I wonder what such an enormous hand would look like! The Kagyüpas assert that the Great Mudra is the wisdom which pervades all samsara and nirvana, and yet they think of the word ‘mudra’ as referring to one’s hands. I wonder what would happen to them if they did leave their seats! If they ever did need to get up and do something, they would have to drag their seats behind them, such are their rites of purification and liberation based on time and the physical body. The Sakyapas make the supreme assertion that one should not place too much emphasis on conduct because inner wisdom is the most important thing, and yet when they recite the Lamdü Hevajra sadhana, they maintain the discipline of never leaving their seats, because to do so would transgress their vow. In the past it was said that the attainment of the path of seeing and the clear experience of selflessness that precedes it are marked by special feelings of joy, so I think this must be a symptom of the current degenerate age! The Gendenpas claim the antidote to all the pains of existence is the wisdom which realizes selflessness, and yet when they approach the realization of no-self they are so afraid to let go of this sense of identity that they can not sit still upon their cushions. They don’t say that in order to benefit the teachings they should teach and practise! That taking a wife could be a way to benefit the teachings and beings, and a substitute for teaching and practice, and at the same time improve clarity of vision and so on, is, I think, incredible! The Nyingmapas claim they have a path for accomplishing the level of Vajradhara through the practice of clear light Dzogpachenpo, without the need to rely upon an external consort and so on, and yet the lamas say they must take a wife in order to increase their longevity, improve the clarity of their vision, maintain good health, assist in the revelation of termas and accomplish the welfare of beings. The Nyingmapas possess the profound key instructions of the tantras and sadhanas, so they are like the life-force of the teachings. The Kagyüpas bring everything together into the single practice of devotion, so they are like the heart of the teachings. The Sakyapas bring together sutra and mantra approaches, so they are like the eyes of the teachings. The Gendenpas maintain the complete path of scriptural study, so they are like the body of the teachings. Gendenpas create the melodies mainly in their throats,Īnd Kagyüpas chant strongly from deep down inside. The Gendenpas with their perfect conduct,Īnd the Sakyapas with their regular practice of approach and accomplishment.Īlthough they all possess infinite qualities,Įach one emphasizes a particular practice. The Kagyüpas who persevere in meditation, The Nyingmapas whose view is beyond all extremes, These are the four marvellous transmissions of the teachings: The Kagyüpas are the masters of realization,Īnd the Nyingmapas are the masters of spiritual power. The Gendenpas are the masters of discourse, The Sakyapas are the masters of learning, The authoritative transmission of exposition, the Sakyapa,Īnd the authoritative transmission of practice, the Kagyüpa. The authoritative transmission of mantra, the Nyingmapa, The authoritative transmission of sutras, the Gendenpa, Successfully transmit their perfect methods of awakening! May the four schools of buddhist teachings, old and new, Through the enlightened activity of the victorious buddhas,Īnd the skilful means of their bodhisattva heirs, " onclick="window.open(this.href) return false
