Lama +

Written “Clama”. The title, if correctly applied, belongs only to the priests of superior grades, those who can hold office as gurus in the monasteries. Unfortunately every common member of the ''gedun ''(clergy) calls himself or allows himself to be called “Lama”. A real Lama is an ordained and ''thrice ''ordained Gelong. Since the reform produced by Tsong‐ka‐pa, many abuses have again crept into the ''theocracy ''of the land. There are “Lama‐astrologers”, the ''Chakhan'', or common ''Tsikhan ''(from ''tsigan'', “gypsy”), and Lama‐soothsayers, even such as are allowed to marry and do not belong to the clergy at all. They are very scarce, however, in Eastern Tibet, belonging principally to Western Tibet and to sects which have nought to do with the ''Gelukpas ''(yellow caps). Unfortunately, Orientalists knowing next to nothing of the true state of affairs in Tibet, confuse the Choichong, of the Gurmakhayas Lamasery (Lhassa) — the Initiated Esotericists, with the Charlatans and ''Dugpas ''(sorcerers) of the Bhon sects. No wonder if — as Schagintweit says in his ''Buddhism in Tibet'' — “though the images of King Choichong (the “god of astrology”) are met with in most monasteries of Western Tibet and the Himalayas, my brothers never saw a Lama Choichong”. This is but natural. Neither the Choichong, nor the ''Kubilkhan (q.v.) ''overrun the country. As to the “God” or “King Choichong” he is no more a “god of astrology” than any other “Planetary” Dhyan Chohan [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +
