Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle
the teacher is much more important than the cycle. very true. my issue though is that it's easier for me to have confidence in the path when the cycle is complete. let's take your case for example: you received the empowerment from one Rinpoche, but are now receiving actual practice instructions fr...

Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle
bummer, that doesn't look like a complete cycle to me. Hard learned fact for me personally is that the teacher is much more important than the cycle. If you want details you should study Buddhahood in This Life or Precious Treasury of the Genuine Meaning. If you want to resolve all doubts about you...

Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle
It should be similar to other terma Mahayoga practices like the famed Palchen Düpa of Longchen Nyingthik, the practitioners can practice with sadhana that has all the eight deities together in one mandala, or choose to focus on the sadhana of specific individual deity like Hayagriva, Yangdak, etc. ...

Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle
.. But how can he know who is who except through the lists of registration. Which people have done complete Path of Liberation 1-5, who are the ones who did Dorje Drolo 1-3. And that is it. Students who did both fully are the ones who work hard. Its not like smaller sanghas where teacher know every...

Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle
I really really hope he would open up and teach complete Dorje Drolo cycle and not just bare bones. Why do you think he just teaches the “bare bones”? Is the Drolo cycle very big or are you talking about Togal? Togal is not normally taught to big groups and if it’s done you would still need a lot m...

Re: Is Nyingma much more spread than Sarma (in Europe)?
Hi, so I am European, doing vajrayana some 15-20 years. And I try to visit every tibetan buddhism even / lama that comes to my country (which is easy since I live in a capital city). In these years I have collected a considerable number of wangs - which is nothing to brag about, but I want to use t...

Re: Does drubcho work as lung or even as wang?
Which is why I didn’t go, I received it later from Tulku Dakpa though. Ohh that is too bad, we could have met :). But that time I did not know I admire you yet so I would probably miss the opportunity to shake hands. I found out only years later after reading hundreds of your replies on this forum....

Re: Personal account of Shine
Methods exist for a purpose, is not "the only way". If you really think there's a final realization, go ahead. There is only one way to reach the fourth vision, it takes a lot of discipline. In Dzogchen when it is said that it is non-gradual that means that the fruit is introduced at the ...

Re: ChNNR Sinhamukha - longer sadhana in 2013? And name of the Ayu Khandro 's terma?
Khandro Sangdu (Secret Gathering of the Dakinis) is a terma (actually yangter) by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. Ayu Khandro received it from him and gave it to Chögyal Namkhai Norbu. Most probably did Rinpoche use the long text for Singhamukha to teach 2013. It also doesn't necessary have to be a cycle,...

Re: Personal account of Shine
My root guru didn't taught me anything gradual. The ChNN didn't presented atiyoga as gradual. I have no proof for it to be gradual either. On the contrary i have proof it isn't. It has nothing to do with a "step by step" path. The fact that you got instantly enlightened doesn’t show much ...

Re: ChNNR Sinhamukha - longer sadhana in 2013? And name of the Ayu Khandro 's terma?
Hello all yogis and yoginis, 1) LONGER SADHANA Recently I learnt that there is a longer sadhana of Sinhamukha which some of us received from ChNNR. Link of what I mean: [Edit by moderator] I attended the Sinhamukha teaching in March 2013 and my question is whether someone knows if Rinpoche gave us ...

that doesn't make it atiyoga, that's the gradual way of doing things. Who told you that atiyoga cannot be embarked upon as a gradual approach? My root guru didn't taught me anything gradual. The ChNN didn't presented atiyoga as gradual. I have no proof for it to be gradual either. On the contrary i...

Re: Personal account of Shine
Where people disagree is how much you need to do and what “accomplish” means in this regard. Alan Wallace probably has the most extensive definition I’ve heard in that regard. It is worth noting that the Theravedans do not agree on the definition of “accomplishing” the jhanas in their system. There...

Re: Personal account of Shine
...so the idea that shine has to be practiced first and by its own seems a little misplaced, at least from a Dzogchen perspective. I disagree. I think that mindfulness is really important, because if we cannot one-pointedly focus our attention on the object of practice, then the practice will be us...
