20 posts held, back to 27 August 2025 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 16 July 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
158 reactions across 18 posts, in 8 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 67.7% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 19 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 158reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 27 August 2025 to 16 July 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
"Buddhists do not recognize a soul that is independent from the self. The self is a stream of consciousness that flows from lifetime to lifetime. It carries the karmic imprints of all the various existences. The Buddhist view of soul is an impermanent flow of consciousness and imprints" Lama Jhampa Shaneman

Essentially, whether you live by yourself, or your life is very public, constantly investigate your own mind, for both virtue and evil deeds are your own mental creations. It will not matter whether you succeed in pleasing untamed ordinary beings or you are praised or insulted by such fools. You don’t need to accomplish any dharma more than that which will allow you to die without regrets. Patrul Rinpoche @sridmtsh…

I have never asked for donations or money in this channel, since I have always had the good karma of kind benefactors for anything a yogin might need But today is not for me, but for the victims of the earthquakes in my country Venezuela, I will leave the PayPal of an American friend of mine, any small amounts helps lots over here, and I will post photos to the groupchat of any supplies bought with it.

Happy International Women's Day! On this day we should appreciate the dakini activities that women across time and space have contributed to the dharma!

“How, then, are the two vehicles differentiated? Some say that the difference between Sūtra and Mantra is that Mantra was taught for those who can use desire as an aid in the path whereas the Perfection Vehicle was taught in order to tame beings within the context of separation from desire. This opinion is wrong because both the Perfection Vehicle and the Mantra Vehicle have modes of advancing on the path without ha…

Regarding the practice of Mantra & Tantra without the guidance of a Guru: "Pustake likhitā vidyā yena sundari yapyate Sidhir na jāyate tasya kalpakoti-ṣaṭair api. O Beauteous one! He who does Japa of a Vidyā [Mantra] learnt from a book can never attain Siddhi even if he persists for countless millions of years." Ṣaṭkarmadīpikā

“A Guru should never sell mantra-knowledge to a disciple. A Guru who sells mantra is sinful and surely goes to hell. Mantra-dīkṣā is to be given only through generosity and grace. One whose mind is tainted by greed is not a Guru and cannot uplift a disciple. Whoever gives dīkṣā out of desire for wealth takes the wrong path. For such a person, no siddhi of the mantra arises; the practice becomes fruitless.” Kulārṇa…

“All the lokas must be regarded as planes of consciousness which are attainable... in the physical body. In effect while still on earth we can raise ourselves to the plane of our choice and will inevitably re-manifest there when the term of earthly existence is ended. But any law, to be a true universal principle, must operate both ways; we cannot logically expect the cosmic law to work only in our favour. If it did…
“All the rivers in the world, carrying the waters that ripen flowers and fruit and cause forests to thrive, flow due to the power of the Naga King who resides in Lake Madröpa. Similarly any explanation, debate, composition, practice, and attainment of fruition achieved by his retinue of disciples depends solely on the power of the Victorious One himself.” Sūtrasamuccaya

"As long as the state of enlightenment is not recognized, beings continue to experience illusory birth and death, along with the happiness and suffering inherent in conditioned existence. However, whatever the experience, the essence of enlightenment remains unpolluted, unobscured, and unmodified, just as sunlight maintains its nature of light regardless of the type of object it strikes. The essence is not condition…

"Actuality is not defined as an absolute and static emptiness. Its power of manifestation or “radiance” (mdangs), owing to unawareness of its nature and to emotional patterns related to unawareness, becomes the basis for the particular appearances or visions that seem to bind one. When the veils of unawareness and emotional patterns lessen to some extent, there arise pure visions and contemplative experiences reflect…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @selfimmolation. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank — 1,428,083 of 1,548,671entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Republishes
Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Named by 2 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 12 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
