Yes, it is OK to contact an instructor by mail even if you are not a member. Perhaps if it is not OK, then they should not be instructors. Maybe they will tell you you need to be a member.LolCat wrote:Would it be okay to contact an intructor by email even if I am not a paying member of DC, or do I have to be one and enrolled in a course or something? I have made an aspiration to physically attend the teachings, but it hasn't really worked out till now.

Since the experiance is non-verble and totally beyond the dimension of words, how can you say anything about it: ike trying to write on water or air.Johnny Dangerous wrote:Here's an interesting question for you, given that guruyoga in DC seems to be basically resting in the nature of mind established in the DI...if you've already do that sort of practice outside of DC, in addition to doing DI with Rinpoche, is there anything new to adopt, or do you merely continue with your practice, sort informed by the experience of the DI? I believe there are specifics to the way it's done in DC, is it seen as important to adopt those?

Yes, Malcolm is exactly correct in an intellectual sense. Yet I witnessed ChNNR roll his eyes up when asked if transmission could be given by recording. (He did not answer yes, or no.) So I think it depends very much on the individual and the secondary causes.Malcolm wrote:In general, replays are for being reminded, not for transmissions of lungs or even teachings.Paul wrote:I am very interested in the Longsal Longde teachings that are being given soon, however I am in the middle of some other teachings going on at the same time.
