Wonderful interview!
I was interested to hear Dr. Baker mention Ngakpa Chögyam’s organization in this context. Yes, he is certainly a fashionable and interesting fellow!
Heartwarming. Fine interplay-
This is such a good conversation! 🙏
I studied yoga before Tibetan buddhism came to the USA. I practiced yoga tantric sex and other advanced practices (for which I was not prepared.). This appealed to me as I enjoyed practicing special powers. Then I began Mahayana studies and practiced patiently to let go of attachment to power when I took bodhisattva precepts. You don't need a fast car to reach enlightenment.
The first school of Tibetans to show up in California seemed to be the Nigma. Ads in the local paper in the '80's often read, "M seeks F for tantric sex." Through prior yoga practice I knew they had the wrong view. I thought it was really funny!! Just like Christian Nationalists, these people were obsessed with sex. Some sects of buddhism adopted actual physical sex in their practice and others practice tantra within emptiness. Different levels of realization. Thus, householders would generally choose the former, I belong to the latter. I believe a practitioner needs to understand the Six Perfections to the 3rd degree (and thereby realize emptiness) before being of any true benefit to all beings. This is the "secret" of higher trainings. They were also called the "secret teachings" because of they were so misinterpreted. You just cannot get the same realizations with no or only lower level teachings.
Muy bueno I want more.please.!!
His effortless eloquence communicating such depth of knowledge is very rare.
yes when its not being interrupted by the female airhead running her fingers thru her hair saying "yeees, mmhmm, yeaaah" like she has a clue
LOLLL

Very worthwhile interview. Thank you. I bought Ian's Tibetan Yoga book, it is absolutely fantastic! 🙏
Why are you reveaving thews things?
Om Ah Houm
As long as the human exist on this earth ( Samsara)....... Buddhadharma was, is and will always the most relevant...... TRUTH. Our Tibetan Monastic system play a vital role in our daily life for all lay people...... absolutely relevant and I disagree with what they had said on this matter.
The Ultimate-JIVAMUKTI-is stabilization n "Emptiness"/"Parabrahman"/"Nirvana"/"Dharmakaya"! Tantra is beneath "It"! If u obtain a ticket 2 fly 2 ur final destination, why learn how 2 build the plane n order 2 become a pilot? Unless, of course, "YOU" want 2! Which is maya ego n maya duality performing maya magick n order 2 reach a transient maya destination! Seems so very Bon, misleading, & unfortunate! But hey, some people have a fine collection of Pet Rocks as well. Good 4 them!🙏 ✌ ❤ 🚬
Come on guys,
there is no any separate trantric Bhuddhism, it is a system within Mahayana tradition or Sanskrit Tradition Buddhism which has a roots to Pali tradition Buddhism which has a roots to Four Noble Truths.
I know for Western people, everything is business and courses selling, therefore please for the sake of business and money, don't misinterpret the tantric system as a tantric Bhuddhism. If you solely relies on this then you might get mad very very soon in this higher yogic practice.
Western people are so fancies about Esoteric system like Vajrayan that sometime they also think they might have enlightened.🤣🤣🤣
Later end up, becomingblike a mad and living in an illusion
16:20 if she did not amaturistically interrupt him constantly, interview would have gone great by itself, 🤦🏻♂️
Thank you for your input 🙏🏻 noted with thanks !
@muradbagirov For a buddhist you gotta learn to be more chill
@@mumblerocks77 hahah who said I am, for a real buddhist, you should not Assume things, and be in a pure state of mind ever freshhh....
@Isabella Dove thats right, some people just do it the wrong way
her gruff accent doesn't help
Careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater ....☮️🕯️🌈
