Book Synopsis

Samaya is the dirtiest word in Vajrayana Buddhism. 

The incorrect assumptions about samayas are used as weapons to threaten people and intimidate students, to instill fear in their hearts. Instead of being properly educated about this complex commitment, the subject is left unaddressed, whispered. There is samaya in the context of empowerment but also samaya means more. Samaya has to do with how we relate to our teacher, to the teachings, and to our Dharma friends. Basically, it''s a road map for our conduct and eventual realization. 

Entering the Vajrayana Path, occasionally, our guides let us move blindly. They don''t want to talk about Samaya. Some think that if they reveal the truth, the students will run away. 

This is not a modern day problem, Tsele Natsok Rangdröl addressed it in the 17th Century:
