Illusory Advice is an anthology of lively email discussions between two Western-born Buddhist teachers and their students. The questions and replies cover a wide range of topics-to which the Buddhist view is applied with directness, subtlety, and humour-such as: family life; interpersonal difficulties; and, the student-teacher relationship. Ngakma Nor'dzin and Ngakpa 'o-Dzin are a married teaching-couple of the Aro gTer Lineage of the Nyingma Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. They are ordained representatives of the ancient non-monastic tradition of Vajrayana, in which every-day life circumstances and individual-personality are embraced as the path of transformation.
I publish books relating to Buddhism and meditation under the name ‘Ngakma Nor’dzin’. ‘Ngakma’ is the title I received when I took ordination into the Nyingma Buddhist Tradition in 1989. I live in Cardiff, Wales, UK with my husband Ngakpa ’ö-Dzin Tridral. We have two grown up sons, and one grandson.
