Instead of being properly educated about this complex commitment, the subject is left unaddressed, whispered. There is samaya in the context of empowerment, but samaya also 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 realisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEntering 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a modern-day problem.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBe uninformed no more! This book, \u003cem\u003eEmpowerment \u0026amp; Samaya,\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460729684204,"sku":"9781735734552","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781735734552-empowerment-samaya.jpg?v=1774952076"},{"product_id":"heart-lamp-lamp-of-mahamudra-and-heart-of-the-matter-by-tsele-natsok-rangdrol-9789627341604","title":"Heart Lamp: Lamp of Mahamudra and Heart of the Matter","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main idea of \u003cem\u003eHeart Lamp: Lamp of Mahamudra and Heart of the Matter\u003c\/em\u003e is that intrinsic to the heart, mind, and spirit in every human being is an identical essence which can be realised. This realisation makes any man or woman a Buddha. The focus of this book is the method of how to implement that through a system of training which is of timeless value, and not bound by cultural limitations. The timeless truth it conveys is as meaningful for a Westerner today as it was in India and Tibet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the centuries, this system of effortless training has been applied by people from any occupation—tailors and kings, monks and businessmen—and has provided them with a simple method to not only withstand the changes of life but also to transcend them. Like the waves on an ocean, the ups and downs, joys and sorrows we meet in our lives can be seen as movements in the ocean, giving true peace and room for caring for others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt will be hard to find another book which is as concise as \u003cem\u003eHeart Lamp\u003c\/em\u003e.
