My beloved black & beautiful MahaKala 🖤 I was never afraid of you and know you are made of pure love. I am drawn to the fierce deities all and find they resonate with me the most. Can you think of anything more beautiful? I can’t and I love them with all my heart.
Impressive ... I m Theravada by birth ..from Myanmar . Last year (oct ) started to interest 21 tara devi and then some wrathful deities .This clip give me some knowledges .thz u
Thank you for this wonderfully informative video. I really liked the comic book hero and the biker gang analogies. Here is a quote that has helped me understand more about the ferocity of these deities. "Although they appear fierce looking. Just like a mother who shouts to her child not to stick its finger into an electric socket is not angry and has no wrath towards the child, but is fierce towards the child simulating the pain of an electric shock in order to get the child to shy away from the actual electric shock. This is fierce compassion." ~ Robert Thurman
Thank you for the wonderful video and modern examples! I’ve always felt a little bit repulsed by the wrathful deities, and felt more attractive to the compassionate ones. This was very helpful in reframing my concepts and understanding of these ancient practices.
I had a dream with one with many heads going up And holding a conch and trishul. One of its statues was underwater and covered in vibhuti. Making the water cloudy with ash
Greetings from Nepal. I am a Theravadaian by birth but interested in Vajrayana too. I am wondering how did you find this transformation formula - from who to who? Can you find some textual references? Thanks.
Thanks for watching, and for your question. To answer your question, most important aspects of Vajrayana teaachings is lineage-based. This is why nearly all practices are from teacher-to-student rather than passed via text alone. Even the text has "transmission lineage" and when you receive empowerment, it's often a requirement to receive transmission of the sadhana as well. When you do have a teacher in Vajrayana, the long-version of the practice Sadhana (especially of the Higher practices) will always state the lineage (or nearly always -- certainly any practices I have personally.) In fact, it's part of what makes some Sadhans long-ish -- going through a praise to each of the Lamas in the lineage going back to the original source. So, in Vajrayana, you will always have lineage/source, and most especially on any othe higher (and most wrathful) practices. It's very important to the tradition. (And, it's always very complete, listing each lama who passed on lineage. This is what preserves the teaching.) As for transformation aspects, we can only state in general terms, unless you focus on a single practice method. To answer more specifically, you'd have to identify which practice you were interested in the lineage for. Hope that helps.
