Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
"All phenomena of samsara depend on the mind, so when the essence of mind is purified, samsara is purified. Since the phenomena of nirvana depend on the pristine consciousness of vidyā, because one remains in the immediacy of vidyā, buddhahood arises on its own. All critical points are summarized with those two." - Longchenpa

Yes, that book really is awesome. I have read it about 3 times now in 3 weeks. You can finish it in one day. It is very short and can be bought as a pdf.Josef wrote:The Guru Yoga bookGreg wrote:

Rinpoché often offers to practice together with him ... this time too, the second session. So it's easy to see how he his practicing.magnagei wrote:OOps didn't mean to start such a discussion on vegetarianism, just a simple clarification. Anyways.
Anyone know if Rinpoche likes something in particular that may be a good gift? Or maybe where to get a traditional scarf?
Also if this is allowed on a public forum: when doing the experience of emptiness with 6 Ah's, is it eyes open or closed? If this question is inappropriate, please delete, it doesn't seem to specific to me, but I'd hate to break samaya. Thank you.

By understanding everything you perceive from the perspective of the view, you are freed from the constraints of philosophical beliefs.
By understanding that any and all mental activity is meditation, you are freed from arbitrary divisions between formal sessions and postmeditation activity.

Hi Dronma

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
They always remove older webcasts from replay list after a certain period of time.
Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
Thanks Norwegian.
Does anyone know why they remove older webcasts periodically?

If I had once DC membership but I didn't buy it this year, can I still use my login and password and listen to restricted webcast?

You ought to just pay your membership.
Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
I am looking to download a copy of the Mandarava sadhana so i can participate in the upcoming collective practice for Rinpoche. I thought I read in this thread that it is available on the webcast site in restricted files. My membership is up to date but I cannot find it. Is it not there or am I looking in the wrong place?
Any or all help apprecaited.

Firstly, you must log in. Then go to the Files and click to the last link where it writes:MalaBeads wrote:I am looking to download a copy of the Mandarava sadhana so i can participate in the upcoming collective practice for Rinpoche.

There is always webcast (open or closed). Apart from Yangti and Togal.
It will not be the first time that Rinpoche is transmitting Jnanadhakini through webcast....

The quote was something about students (in SOV?) looking at the sky instead of looking at him.Sönam wrote:I doubt he says so ... when one practice, one does not really look at someone.Blue Garuda wrote:I think I read that he prefers people to look at him, as he is the source.magnagei wrote:OOps didn't mean to start such a discussion on vegetarianism, just a simple clarification.

It ends with: ''They don't understand that the teacher represents our real state, not the sky.''

Yes, that is right, when singing SOV it is better to gaze at the boss then over his head. I have heard him say this myself.Blue Garuda wrote: The quote was something about students (in SOV?) looking at the sky instead of looking at him.

It may have been The Mirror on the SOV. I found a Google source but the material had been removed (possibly 'Teacher Taining') but it did end with the words:
' ''They don't understand that the teacher represents our real state, not the sky.''
Maybe it was a bit of a pun - doesn't his name include 'sky'?

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
Thanks, Dronma, I got it to work.
Next question: I received three separate emails concerning the date of this practice but the dates were conflicting. Sometimes it said the date of the collective practice was July 3rd and sometimes it said July 7th. In one email it said both. What's the date and time of the practice?
Thanks in advance.

Well Pero has said that there is also no webcast for the Longsal Root Empowerment, however I think that it was said a couple pages ago that the upcoming retreat is not the Longsal Root Empowerment.Dronma wrote:There is always webcast (open or closed). Apart from Yangti and Togal.

So it looks like there will be a (closed?) webcast from July 4 - 10.
