Comments on: Various Aspects of Tantra by His Holiness Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche http://www.dorjeshugden.com/all-articles/dharma-readings/various-aspects-of-tantra-by-his-holiness-kyabje-trijang-rinpoche/ The Protector whose time has come Mon, 02 Mar 2026 18:35:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: YontenJamyang http://www.dorjeshugden.com/all-articles/dharma-readings/various-aspects-of-tantra-by-his-holiness-kyabje-trijang-rinpoche/comment-page-1/#comment-198581 YontenJamyang Mon, 10 Nov 2014 04:31:45 +0000 http://dorjeshugden.com/wp/?p=1039#comment-198581 This is a short, simple and clear explanation of tantra and the differences and similarities of sutra and tantra. Also, it occurs to me during the reading of this article as to why many Lamas has given mass initiations of the tantras even though there is no established Guru disciple relationship. Perhaps the answer lies in the heading "What happened during an initiation", that a receiver of the initiation that are not ready are actually not initiated but will get be implanted with instincts to listen to then Dharma and little else. Still there is the problem of these initiates doing the tantric practice without guidance. Anybody can help with a good answer here?

I really like the part it list down the same contents of each sec but it actually the same concepts. Tantra was so complicated for me as I thought only practitioners who achieve certain level could take on to practice, actually anyone can start on Tantra as long as you follow the right path. I wish one day I will meet my Guru to lead me to the path of enlightenment! _/\_ What a profound explanation of Tantra that answer so many of my questions.

Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche explains the relationship between sutrayana and tantra as well as their differences. He also mentions the three principal aspects of the path which are necessary to achieve enlightenment. The Gelug tradition emphasises the practice of the three higher trainings to accomplish what Lama Tsongkhapa termed "the final aim" in his epistolary poem to Tsakophopho. In this text, H.H.
