The Double Dorje

(Episodes below the blurb.)

I've been a Buddhist now for fifty years and it doesn't seem at all too long.

But effing fifty! Where did the time go? Then again, I've watched a lot of stuff go down in that time, so I do have a bit to share.

I practiced Kagyu teachings at first, but now I'm pretty much Nyingma - all in modern, \"western\" environments. I know some of the great joys, and also the pitfalls. Ah, the pitfalls!

Here I try to share some of my \"accumulated wisdom\". Not, not, not in the sense of a virtual classroom or a virtual temple, but rather in the sense of sharing across the table of a virtual eatery - the Double Dorje - over steaming dumplings and chilli sauce.

Maybe I can open the gate to some of the magic and wonder. And maybe you'll be able to see some of the traps coming.

Also available on YouTube, LinkedIn and Facebook, but not shown amongst the icons here for technical reasons.

PS This podcast has no connection with the evidently defunct \"Double Dorje\" podcast briefly run a few years ago by Sean Starr and Jennifer Baker of Texas.

The podcast will have to take a back seat for some months as I work on a project aimed at publishing biographies of a few of the nuns, and the sometimes heroic journeys they undertook to arrive at the caves above Tsopema (Rewalsar) to live and practise.

A Tsopema Nuns blog gives a few details. It should help to find missing pieces in the jigsaw of names and places.
