Re: Do you get rid of suffering for good with Dzogchen ?

Do you get rid of suffering for good with Dzogchen ? ”Most of you, even all of you maybe, are practicing in the Buddhist way. The Buddhist teaching is on compassion mainly, and compassion means wanting to purify miseries and suffering. As a method for purification you can recite mantras, do prostra...

Re: Rigpa vs. Alaya (continued)

From what I recall, ChNNR apparently said that discussing Dzogchen on internet forums in general was an bad idea, and he said a few times that if you openly discuss rig pa in public places where anyone can hear, it can block your potentialities in this lifetime. He used an example of discussing the ...

Re: Torsion Fields

Bönpo Cosmology, it is written that planet Earth can be shaped as either an egg, or something narrow, or even a cube - anything. The shape it takes depends on people's intention and how they see it. Thus it depends on the time, the people and the yuga time cycle. [Oral commentary by YLTNR, 13.09.20...

Re: Looking to become a Buddhist, but I'm concerned about ideas of Heaven/Hell

…it’s a lot like trusting your doctor enough to take the medicine he or she has prescribed. Wouldn’t you want your doctor to be well trained in a medical school with a long history and good reputation? That’s what the doctor’s “lineage” is. Indeed; I would want my doctor’s lineage to go back to dra...

Re: Looking to become a Buddhist, but I'm concerned about ideas of Heaven/Hell

I also like Tibetan Buddhism especially the Kagyu school, but I don't like its excessive focus on lineage and teachers as I said. Maybe you could ask a Kagyu teacher to learn the so-called Sutra Mahamudra. Tell them that you don’t want to take any Tantric vows (but maybe you want to take Bodhisattv...

Re: Looking to become a Buddhist, but I'm concerned about ideas of Heaven/Hell

I know that I don't care much, if at all, about lineage though. If that is actually the case, then you’d encounter many obstacles in Vajrayana or Dzogchen, that is if you receive said teachings and continue to not care about lineage. The inner Guru and the external Guru are of the same nature; howe...

Re: Lung oral transmission

I'll be thrilled if Khyentse Yeshi starts giving transmission, but his public opinion seems to be that people can receive it from a recording, something his father repeated ad nauseam is not possible. Idle curiosity here - when did he become "Khyentse"? Khyentse Yeshi was recognized by a ...

Nice.

There should be more Buddhist symphony or orchestra.

Re: When are you teaching dzogchen?

What about the saying that with even one line of Vajrayana teaching, this person becomes your lama? I would figure that that refers to receiving one line from one who is in the capacity of a teacher; not only some random person or even a Vajra Sibling. The teachings say that in Vajrayana it’s easie...
