The Sex Lives of Monks: Confessions of Kalu Rinpoche. KALU RINPOCHE: THE PRODIGAL SON. By Joseph Hooper One of Tibetan Buddhism's brightest stars and greatest hopes is 22-year-old Kalu Rinpoche, the head of a global Tibetan Buddhist enterprise of 44 monasteries and teaching centers, including 16 in the United States, that engage thousands of students and disciples. Many of those followers are inherited, the result of his being recognized at the age of 2 as the incarnation of Kalu Rinpoche, who died in 1989 and was one of the most influential lamas in the West aside from the Dalai Lama. Young Kalu travels the world, mostly alone, visiting his meditation centers and monasteries or just amusing himself in countries with relaxed visa requirements. His real monastery is online—Kalu calls himself "the first Facebook rinpoche," managing a network of personal and public pages with thousands of friends and "likes. " Most are generational peers who have discovered that it's pretty cool to get a personal message from a bona fide lama.
Joseph Hooper. Kalu Rinpoche visits KDK. Kalu Rinpoche visited San Francisco on September 5th and 6th, 2011. These teachings, sponsored by Kagyu Droden Kunchab, were held at the University of San Francisco. People of all ages came and everyone was delighted to see, speak to, and listen to Rinpoche. Kalu Rinpoche visited Kagyu Droden Kunchab, the center founded by his predecessor. They presented mandala offerings and traditional tea and saffron rice offerings. During this visit to KDK Kalu Rinpoche had lunch and conversed with the sangha. Kalu Rinpoche Returns to Kagyu Droden Kunchab: An interview with Lama Lodu Rinpoche by Lama Choying Q:What do you think of Kalu Rinpoche's teachings to Westerners here in the United States? A:It is beyond my limited knowledge to say. Q:You observed Kalu Rinpoche interact with many people during the question and answer sessions.
A:Since I have a profound connection with the previous Kalu Rinpoche, I must say that what I heard did not impress me. A:That’s hard to say. A:This is hard to judge. KALU RINPOCHE: THE PRODIGAL SON. The YouTube confessional sending shockwaves through the Buddhist world | Mary Finnigan. He is 21, a handsome, charismatic Tibetan who describes being a lama as his job. He is passionately keen on music, he raps, break-dances and parties in capital cities around the globe. Kalu Rinpoche chronicles his moods, his existential angst, his activities and philosophical insights on Facebook – and he recently broke the most profoundly entrenched Tibetan Buddhist taboo with a confessional video that received more than 23,000 hits on YouTube.
It is hardly surprising that Kalu is agonising over what the future holds for him. As a baby, he was recognised as the reincarnation of the deeply revered previous Kalu, who was one of two lamas largely responsible for the worldwide explosion of interest in Tibetan Buddhism during the late 1970s and throughout the 80s. Old Kalu was seen as a bodhisattva – a person who has attained a level of realisation similar to that of the historical Buddha.
Old Kalu died in 1989 after establishing a formidable reputation. The Sex Lives of Monks: Confessions of Kalu Rinpoche. 我三年闭关的日子——第二世卡卢仁波切专访 - 坚华嘉措的日志 - 网易博客. 我三年闭关的日子——第二世卡卢仁波切专访 数据源: <善报>2009年冬季号 时间: 2009年11月22日 地点: 台中德噶禅修中心 采访: 妙融法师、黄靖雅 藏译中: 堪布丹杰 闭关与出关的变化 问: 仁波切才从闭关出来，仁波切三年闭关主要的修持是什么? 答: 关键都在于自己。 虽然我圆满了闭关，但是根本无法和过去的祖师大德们相比拟。 至于出关后的感受，其实我自己在关房中，就很清楚照见到自己未来该做什么，与不该做什么。 上师的本质都一样 问: 请问您会向哪一位特定的上师祈请? 答: 身为一个佛弟子，我们应该以什么人作为模范呢? 然而，从小对我备加呵护、具备大恩的上师，例如大司徒仁波切、波卡仁波切，还有闭关中心的指老师堪布东由仁波切，以上这三位是我的根本上师。 当自己的身心具备了虔诚，然后向上师祈请，这时候是不会有什么杂念的。 香巴噶举和噶玛噶举法门 问: 请问闭关中的情况。 答: 从名称、历史和法源上来说，从金刚总持传承下来的香巴噶举法门，和噶玛噶举法门有所不同。 香巴噶举主要修持的是「香巴五种金法」: 尼古六法、空大手印、树枝三种道用，花朵红白空行、果实无死无谬。 香巴噶举当中，有两种六法:尼古六法和苏卡六法。 那洛<噶玛噶举>闭关中心，首先修持普巴金刚法门，之后主要修持的本尊是金刚亥母; 香巴噶举主要修持的本尊则是续典五尊:喜金刚、密集金刚、大幻化网、大威德金刚、时轮金刚。
就护法来说，香巴噶举主要是六臂玛哈嘎拉，其中包括「息、增、怀、诛」四法; 噶玛噶举则是二臂、四臂玛哈嘎拉…等等。 就上师相应法来说，那洛<噶玛噶举>关房当中，主要修持噶玛巴希、冈波巴、密勒日巴、马尔巴上师相应法。 「尼古六法」和「那洛六法」 问: 我们知道「尼古六法」的创立祖师---尼古玛是一位女性，「那洛六法」的祖师---那洛巴是一位男性。 答: 这两个法门完全没有差别。 或者认为:「观音菩萨比较慈悲，会温柔地对我们说:『喔，你不用持诵咒语，也不用观修，因为我是慈悲的本尊，会满你的愿…』。 同样的，如果认为某某法门女性修起来比较快，男性修起来比较慢的话，这也是一种分别心。 此处的重点在于自己修持的态度和方式。 问: 仁波切在关房中，是否也有修持「那洛六法」? 答: 我并没有修持那洛六法，我主要修持的是香巴噶举的法门。 虔诚实修，广利众生 答: 当然会辛苦。 然而不同处在于: 每个人都有着各自不同的善业和恶业，并且有着不同的愿。 为什么这样说呢? Fresh Guru - 我是小飛俠，那你呢？ 二世卡盧仁波切，最新鮮也最具魅力的上師。 接機當日，由於大家都很興奮，機場顯得吵吵嚷嚷，十分熱鬧。 忽然有人喊了一聲，出來了，出來了，大家全往出關的走道看去，只見仁波切一個人走了出來。 高大英挺，氣度非凡，卻略顯疲倦的卡盧仁波切（親愛的香港中心，您們很能操ㄟ），正式在台亮相。 看見偶像出場，我們全伸長了脖子，不自覺地 "WOW...
