Why do I say this ? ...because I don't get my information from books and the internet, I practised Tibetan Buddhism offline for 20 years. It can't be practised from books and the internet anyway, one has to have instruction from an offline teacher or teachers.


kind regards

Not everyone wishes to be taught by someone. The internet is not a teacher but more a way to hear/read about things and make you think. Nothing wrong with that. Besides, Buddha figured it out on his own.

As for advice on tulpa's: Be really, really, really careful, I've never seen one or made one but from what I have read they can be dangerous in the wrong hands (read: untrained, careless hands).
