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.
