There are many centers of this lineage of buddhism in the world and I would like to ask whether it's allright for one to join one of these centers if one doesn't have an access to gnostic school.
Are these teachings "compatible" with gnosticism? Anyone familiar with this lineage? more info: http://www.diamondway-buddhism.org/ |

Vajrayana (Dzogchen) is the Fourth Vehicle of the Four Vehicles of Tantrism, i.e. the Highest Yoga Tantra. It is the same thing as Gnosis, although expressed in a different culture and with a far more complicated and veiled presentation. I wish you the best of luck extracting the concise synthesis from their teachings.
If you join one of their schools, you will spend years and years in the foyer, and even then you may never encounter the sexual doctrine, because so many Tibetan schools do not teach it, even to the monks and nuns. So there are thousands of monks and nuns who masturbate or secretly have sex, and many have turned to homosexuality. This is something that was happening even in Samael's time, and he reported about it with great sadness. Very few students (if any nowadays) enter into the real doctrine through varjrayana, much less through any of the other Buddhist vehicles. Besides, the real Yoga Tantra is now being expressed in the Seventh Subrace through the message of the Buddha of this Fifth Age: Maitreya (Samael, the Fifth Logos of the Seven). In my view, it is good to attend such schools in order to receive instructions in basic concepts and to learn what they can teach; but do not expect they will know anything at all about the complete doctrine. For that, you must study Samael Aun Weor. P.S. - The Diamond Sutra is just a poem studied by all the buddhist vehicles. It is not a part of Vajrayana, which is a Tantric school. (Remember the sutras and tantras are different). -------------------- Best regards.
Remember: "Gnosis is lived upon facts, withers away in abstractions, and is difficult to find even in the noblest of thoughts." |

*I'll be adding info to and updating the following two posts periodically. And bear in mind, that all of this is not necessarily the official stance of Thelema-Press or the Gnostic Movement. However, I have a feeling that they would not necessarily disagree with what I've put forth here.* be care ful here as well I mean with the one you pick...check them out first read about each school then pick. Indeed. See this thread: Karma Kagyu School Of Buddhism I'd stay far away from all of the following: 1) The Shamar-Pa, the Drukpa/Dugpa-clan and Lama Surya Das 2) The phony "Karmapa"(Trinlay Thaye Dorje), the "Diamond-Way" sect and "Lama Ole" 3) The "New Kadampa Tradition", and the fake "Panchen Lama" chosen by the Zionist-Marxist Chinese government :akuma: 4) The teachings of the late Chogyam Trungpa and the teachings of Sogyal Rinpoche (although some books that these two have contributed to in the past are good, such as "The Torch of Certainty" by Jamgon Kongtrul and two of H.H. The Dalai Lama's books on Dzogchen) Just as Gunther Stein said about the Berg's "Kabbalah": ![]() ![]() -------------------- I Self Lord Am Master: "Reading the Kunjed Gyalpo you will often come across the word "I": "I am the nature of all phenomena," "I am the root of existence," and so on.

If you would like to really know about the Tibetan Masters, do the following:
As you are putting your physical body to rest, invoke any the following Masters to assist you and teach you about authentic Tibetan Buddhism in the internal planes: Master Tahuil Bagavan Aclaiva HH. Dalai Lama Master Morya Koot Hoomi Djwal Khul etc. Today there is only a skeleton of authentic Tibetan teachings (from the first sub race). We must actively participate in the works of the Masters from the east by experimenting with the consciousness and astral projection. Only in this way will we understand their work and teachings. :secret: -------------------- ![]() |
