nechung means protect the dharma 😊

Pehar Gyalpo was tamed and bound by oath in the 8th century by Guru Padmasambhava, he had nothing to do with the historical Shakyamuni Buddha. That kind of questioning usually comes from purist Theravadine people. Buddhism is not the Catholicism that needs the papal "approval" of the Buddha. Much of the success of the expansion of the Dharma in Asia was due to its ability to adapt to the particular conditions of each country.

@@carmenacosta6268 oh come on give me a break this isn't just about theravada Buddhism. Even said Buddhist many Mahayana Buddhist have an appreciation for Pali Buddhist Canon. You won't hear of any Zen Buddhist going to a nechung Oracle either. I'm totally aware of the fact that there are all sorts of different lineages of Buddhism so called for a second third fourth and fifth turnings of the wheel of dharma and all that. Let's just agree that Bon Shamanism it's not exclusively Buddhism. I suggest that anybody interested in this kind of Buddhist activity it's not really familiar with it just return to the kalama sutra. Personally I see no benefit and invoking disembodied dead guys. They usually don't offer anymore insight than a 5 year old girl. Doesn't seem wise to me either to induce yourself into a trance by drugs end up killing yourself like one of the previous dalai llamas who's supposed to be the current dalai lama. Yeah don't tell me about popes , I'm not into popes either just because they say they're post any more than I am into lamas and rinpoches just because they say so either. What great benefit is there in invoking dead guys through nechung oracles ?show me the evidence

None of those are real arguments, you're completely out of place. You project harsh contempt and anticlerical prejudice this subject that you ignore. I recommend you work on overcoming your trauma with catholicism. At your age you should have gotten over it by now... By the way, the Kalama Sutta was a teaching for skeptical non-Buddhist people who ended up converting to Buddhism. Have a good day.

@@carmenacosta6268 a pump up your kindness empathy. I wasn't out of place. Trying to understand how we have people who have come abiding Talk and practices ,kindness and being present to life as it is can get into these weird practices of invoking disembodied dead beings? That bothers you you feel that triggered because of that you sure can't be very enlightened. Okay peace to you be well do your thing I'll have to research this on my own I can't ask a professional you're a so-called expert apparently.

@@alankuntz6494 For Tibetans the oracles are for matters both spiritual and secular, religious and political so there are not completely about so called "buddhism" but are implemented by some "Tibetan Buddhist" traditions.
