dorje
thanks for your insights
i would like to hear more about your personal experiences, esp. when CH was just starting out
i understand cold and hot reading techniques - some of what i observed i guess could have been obtained this way, but there have been other things that he could not possibly have known about, including a reference to private event in my own life
but beyond this, what do you think of his capacity to transmit energy? i related my own experience, but i also saw another fellow who rec'd an "empowerment" from him
basically it involved him chanting over this fellow, touching various parts of his body with a dagger and a dorje - the fellow said that when he was doing this, and specifically was touched with the dorje it felt like he was struck with a thunderbolt, was incapacitated, with a flash of light in his brain, and the effect last for hours afterwards
this was in an intimate room of about 50 people, and he used a dorje that belonged to the fellow, so it couldn't have been something that CH had modified
this particular capacity of CH is very interesting and difficult to explain, discounting anything else
on another note, does he actually speak tibetan?
when he was in canada in 2003 i think he met with a young tibetan bon monk that had recently come to canada, and apparently he and this young monk got on famously and conversed in tibetan
this is the fellow: [

and here is a pic of him and CH together:

it would be interesting to get his take on CH b/c he comes from the same place (Amdo) that CH claims his teacher was from
