Colours of the spinning mantra

The Double Dorje: Looking at Modern Vajrayana Buddhism.

Another look at the mani (OM MANI PEME HUNG). The six syllables, their six colours, and the six worlds.

Plus a description for anyone who might be confused about clockwise, anticlockwise, facing in, facing out...

In the early weeks of this podcast I included an approximate script, not particularly well edited, on a blog page. For the episode dropped on 4 September entitled “Bad gurus, tosh gurus and good gurus” and for episodes due to be dropped from 18 September onwards, starting with “Jyekundo / Yushu: travelling in East Tibet” there is a transcript file which is much closer to the actual words used.

Note that other distribution platforms do not necessarily pass this on, and if you want to read it you may need to listen on podbean. YouTube has been making its own transcript, which was an unholy mess. I think I have now deleted all of these "auto-generated" scripts, but it will not be possible to retrospectively add properly edited transcripts to episodes prior to September 2024.
