Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu

karma dorje-la... thanks for the info. that's what i am hoping to do, catch the lungs of the root texts of either webcast topics or the collected community practices. with that it is then permissible to join the DC and continue on. -xy xylem: Rinpoche gives the collective practices at the end of eac...

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
dechen norbu-la... you have a very valid point. anyone receiving free teachings is doing so on somebody else's dime. such people have no basis for complaint. you are correct. people must receive a certain set of transmissions and teachings to join the DC. one can't just pay money and join the DC. i ...

bhusuku-la... it would be nice to be able to receive the full lung and tri for some of the core DC practices so that i could practice them with others and receive further teachings on them. ... it's not clear how much content i'll be able to actually receive by webcast. i have been able to receive D...

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
dechen norbu-la... it's not the quality of the webcasts that give me pause--- but them completely dropping out . i've been at this for a long time and listen to teachings archived on everything from DVD's to casettes with and without translators. quality isn't an issue. as far as the quality of the ...

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
i have the same problems as sally-la. i don't think it is as simple as bandwidth at the student's end. i can try at home (DSL) and at work (1GPS ethernet) and have the same problems. i have emailed some DC administrator in the past and they admitted that there are problems reported with the webcasts...

Re: Small Problem with DC Webcasts
attempted to take in this last open webcast but had connectivity issues. i don't think it's bandwidth or computer problems as i changed my venues on subsequent days and had problems. i got maybe 60% of the content. as someone said here, CNNR's tibetan-italian english accident becomes easier to parse...

Re: Dzogchen Teaching is Free From Limitations
what i think is easy to forget is that great beings attain realization in the middle of social, cultural and historical context. they don't come to realization in a void. so while they achieve a realization that transcends all concepts, they exist in a sea of concepts and duality. they have a body o...

Re: Dzogchen and ngöndro
yes. this is the philosophical view and the view of actual practice. however-- what i hear expressed again and again is that "dzogchen" is something indeed disjoint from "tantra". dichotomies are asserted that really don't need to be asserted on the basis of philosophy or practic...

Re: Dzogchen and ngöndro
speaking quite honestly here... i think much of this debate comes down to there being an emergent dzogchen dharma culture that identifies itself as being entirely separate and distinct from mainstream tibetan buddhist culture. this statement isn't intended to be critical, just descriptive. personall...

Re: Dzogchen and ngöndro
dechen norbu-la... your dichotomy between tantra and dzogchen is entirely artificial. in the tradition they often make a distinction between persons and paths. one can be on a very high path and have a low view, just as one can be on a low path and have a very high view. it's the actual view of the ...
