Ready to Take Vows? HH Sakya Trizin

In the traditional descriptions of breaking vows, the consequences can sound like the fire and brimstone descriptions of consequences found in fundamentalist Western religious discourse.

His Holiness served as the leader of the Sakya lineage from his enthronement in 1950 to his retirement in 2017. The Sakya lineage is one of the four main lineages of Tibetan Buddhism (along with Nyingma, Kagyu, and Gelug lineages, the Dalai Lama being the head of the Gelug lineage as well as having served as the political leader of the Tibetan people).

The interviewer has a very superficial understanding of vajrayana, must study more to realise the logic of repercussions of breaking samaya vows. Well put by His Holiness Guru Vajradhara Sakya gongma rinpochhe 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Por quê a Natureza Búdica se manifesta também como uma mente não desperta ?

[@bladvagsrgyallo2053]

Past karma of the mental continuum. Ignorance, Hatred and Attachment/craving.
