Drala Jong: Entering the Heart of the Sun and Moon
http://drala-jong.blogspot.com/2015/08/entering-heart-of-sun-and-moon.html
Wednesday, 5 August 2015. Entering the Heart of the Sun and Moon. Entering the Heart of the Sun and Moon. By Ngak’chang Rinpoche and Khandro Déchen. Sexuality is portrayed as the pervasive stratum of the senses and sense-fields – and as such, it is appreciated as the life-blood of the creative arts. Although this teaching is common in its essential form to all Vajrayana traditions, it has never before been extrapolated in such detail with regard to how it is lived within romantic relationships. Ngakma Mé...

Saturday, 27 June 2015. Inspiration: Aro Lineage Sangha. Ngak’chang Rinpoche, Khandro Déchen, and ordained in 2000.

Drala Jong: Wearing the Body of Visions
http://drala-jong.blogspot.com/2015/07/wearing-body-of-visions.html
Wednesday, 15 July 2015. Wearing the Body of Visions. Wearing the Body of Visions. By Ngakpa Chögyam (Ngak’chang Rinpoche). Wearing the Body of Visions is a unique overview of Tantric Buddhism. Ngak’chang Rinpoche abandons the didactic expository style of most books on Tantra. Instead, he adopts language that is poetic, electric, evocative, experiential, unconstrained and unconventional. This is the style of Tantra itself: Rinpoche writes Tantra. Rather than writing about. Donate via Total Giving. This i...

Thursday, 10 July 2014. A good reason to watch the World Cup. At last there is a good reason to pay attention to the World Cup. In the spring Naljorma Dri'mèd bought a new car and the seller added on an interesting incentive - for each goal the German football team scored in the World Cup she would get 50 euros. She very kindly decided this money would go to Drala Jong. I'm not very up on the German score card but I *think* so far the German football team has raised 850 for Drala Jong. The name ‘Dr...
