There is this group in Corrales.

However I second Lama Pema’s recommendation and invite you to make to drive to Pema Khandro Ling in Santa Fe.

Re: Is there such a thing as reverse tummo? (Inner cold?)

I know this might sound ridiculous, but I'm genuinely curious. Is there a breathing practice that rather than generating heat, it releases heat so the body becomes colder? Shitali breathing. There are also methods using prāṇāyama for cooling as well. Do you know of anyone who teaches this? https://...

Re: Why so gray?

The answer could not be clearer. In order to even meet the Dharma, one must have a certain amount of merit. If there are less Dharma practitioners in the world, it' clearly a reflection of the degeneration of merit, manifesting in the age of the five degenerations. :good: Also, when I first started...

Re: Clarification on Nyingma view of emptiness

If by aggression one means behaviour that means harm, there was absolutely no aggression, not on my part in any case. No, I do not talk like that to other teachers of mine. Malcolm is the only one who debates things online, and the only one who engages in, and often opens up, such debates as this o...

Re: Good book on meditation - a manual , if you will

Since the objects of the senses of the student i.e. the screen and the audio, are identical in either case, it's hard to understand what the missing part is. Simply the student's intellectual knowledge that the master is also doing it live at the same time? Then there's also the issue of delay of t...

Re: Good book on meditation - a maual, if you will

This is precisely what I am trying to understand, why is that the case? Telepathy, with all of its strange sounding connotations, at least is a reason , a bad one insofar as that does not seem to be what is happening, but still. If it is not at the same time, it is not direct. Sure, but then why do...

So maybe it does come down to just knowing you're in the state at the same time as your teacher.
This and as Heart stated earlier:”devotion is the trigger.”

Also, with ChNN he was giving direct introduction all the time, which IMO is why the several minute delay never made a difference

Re: Good book on meditation - a maual, if you will

For this to happen there has to be a cause and collaboration because the student's eyes are impossible for them to open on their own. As Malcolm pointed out before DI is causal, which is the collaboration at the same time. The teacher being easily able to open their own eyes communicates how the st...

There is really no need for such interventions. There is a genuine disagreement here, and possibly two different rationalities.

No. You are mistaken. If you have a valid point (which is, of course, in dispute) then indeed you have been unable to communicate it successfully. So we can agree on that. You are trying to. You are trying to reconcile incompatible dogmas. But I have explained why that is as clearly as I can alread...

You are doing that politicians' trick again of answering a question other than the one asked. I'll try again. 1) IF you want remote transmission via electronic systems to be deemed valid (I don't) AND you want them to be deemed invalid if delayed (even when what is shown to the student is EXACTLY t...

Liberation through eating is the most superior method of all? Liberation through hearing, seeing, tasting, wearing or shitro are only secondary to that? I didn’t say that, did I?

He also went out of his way to not identify with a particular lineage though Yes and no. In general, he would always just say he practiced Dzogchen, and left it at that. That was repeated again and again. But he could also go into specifics if needed. Sometimes (for example referencing accusations ...
