I am here for Networking

About Me

If you only had one mouse click left in your life then please use it to visit Traktung Rinpoche's MySpace site: www.myspace.com/traktung_rinpoche. Traktung Rinpoche is the pure force of Buddha nature manifest in this realm as the transmission of enlightenment.............Mostly my time is split between job, family (wife, 2 kids) and dharma. I am a Nyingmapa and have been asked by my lama to help teach classes on ngondro - the preliminary practices of Vajrayana, Tibetan or tantric Buddhism..........We have recently uploaded a web site dedicated to the practice of Ngondro: www.ngondro.net My goal is for it to be a resource for anyone who wishes to engage this practice more deeply........Tantric Buddhism is profund and joyous beyond imagination and is a swift, sure, step by step path which leads to the fully enlightened state.........For more on tantric buddhism go to any of the followingwww.flamingjewel.org www.tsogyelgar.org www.ngondro.net
