Chod practice

[StrandedSnowMonkey]

Before I attempt to read 'Feeding Your Demons' by Ttrim Allione I was curious
about others experiences/advice and any dangers/pitfalls. Many thanks.

To practice Chod correctly, you need to have been taught it by an accomplished teacher at a Tibetan Buddhist centre or monastery - and to also have received a Chod empowerment.

It's really not a practice that you should try to do from books or other instructions on the internet.

I have received offline instructions and empowerments for this practice myself but its not something I discuss with others on the internet, sorry.

Be safe and well, and may all sentient beings have peace and happiness.

Thank you Samana. I did not know about Chod empowerments. There's another
book that I have ~ volume 14 of 'The Essential Teachings of the Eight Practise
Lineages of Tibet' although I'm separated from it at this time. There's no rush.
