The inexcusable gesture of the Dalai Lama trying to tongue kiss a boy

Scroll down to read the last updates! 

I have never imagined that one day I will write something against the Dalai Lama, and believe me that I find no joy doing it now. Whenever I heard somebody criticizing him I used to point out his good parts, especially his contribution to the salvation of the Tibetan schools in exile, the printing and spreading of various useful books, etc. However, what I saw today shocked me and disgusted me so much that I realized keeping silence would make me an accomplice to something terribly evil.
 
Here is what happened! Please watch this video carefully for at least ten times, as I myself did,
 
 

 Yes, dear friends, the Dalai Lama is kissing a child on his mouth, then he says “suck my tongue” and approaches him in a perverse manner with his tongue out of his mouth!

My experience with Padmsambhava as a devotee of Amida Buddha

Many years after I became a priest, one of my members in Bucharest, asked me about Padmasambhava. My answer was that all Buddhas, including Padmasambhava, praise Amida’s Name as  He promised they’ll do in His 17th Vow[1]. This is a very important doctrine of Jodo Shinshu that by praising Amida’s Name they actually praise His method of salvation which is to say His Name in faith. Also, by saying Amida’s Name in faith and worshipping Amida alone we automatically worship and venerate all Buddhas. This I taught my student that day to which I added that by worshipping and venerating Amida Buddha and saying His Name we automatically worship Padmasambhava. Although the Enlightened One called Padmasambhava promoted a different Dharma Gate on this earth (the esoteric teachings of Vajrayana), He too, supports us, people who entrust to Amida, so if we wish to show respect to Him, we should simply say Namo Amida Bu in faith.

Amidaji temple is open to visitors

last update 2024

Amidado (Hall of Amida) where we held 
religious services and Dharma talks
 Amidaji temple is opened to visitors if they do not   mind the simple conditions.

 Accommodation can be offered for a period of one   to  seven days per visitor. One can sleep in the new library, or bring one's own   tent,  and attend services and Dharma talks in the Amidado (Amida Hall). A solar shower and a new winter bathroom, are available, too. I also try my best to provide vegetarian meals from the vegetables raised in the garden of Amidaji.  In time, I will be able to offer better 
conditions and more accommodation facilities, but if people are determined to listen to the Dharma and there is the possibility for them to travel, why not pay a visit to me now? 

We can spend some meaningful time together, discuss any doubt or misunderstanding you might have, say Nembutsu, learn the simple Amidaji liturgy, and even help me with some physical work in the courtyard. Lay people or teachers of other Buddhist traditions who are passing through Romania and don't have a place to stay can also receive accommodation for a few days at Amidaji. This temple has a friendly attitude towards all authentic lineages of transmission.

The Way of Amidaji branch of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism

 

This is a very interesting video discussion between some members of Amidaji. It shows how we do things, how we teach Amida Dharma, how we distinguish between true and false, how we accept or refuse membership, etc.

Why Amidaji – the testimony of a member who re-enters our Jodo Shinshu Buddhist Sangha


When somebody enters or re-enters our Sangha he or she must be able to explain in his own words the essentials of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism as we teach it at Amidaji. This is exactly what Kosho Sebastian Arana does in this video while also sharing his experience in other schools and the reasons he chose to return to Amidaji. This discussion was followed by an online kieshiki (refuge ceremony) for Kosho.
