A Song to Introduce the Unmistaken View of the Great Perfection by Khenpo Gangshar

Re: Purification of the Five Elements
Has anybody ever used the Five Elements for mental and or physical healing? If so how did it go? How is it the same and how does it differ from doing Vajrasattva practice?

Experience of prana
In ChNN's book on the 21 semdzins he says in the commentary for a few of them that doing that particular semdzin can lead to an "experience of prana"
I know what prana is but what exactly is an "experience of prana"? In what way does that manifest?

Re: Psychology: You have to be somebody before you can be nobody (?)
The psychopharmacology of western psychiatric medicine leaves a lot to be desired. For example: you are suffering from severe depression. So they try you out on a antidepressant and tell you that you can expect results in 2-6 weeks or more!! So lets say the first one they try on you doesn't work or ...

Purification of the Five Elements
If anybody knows I could use some clarification. In the Thun and Ganapuja practice book it has the elements in a certain order and in the commentary book it says this comes from yogatantra. However, in the Precious Vase it says this came from Longde. I seem to remember that there is a few different ...

Re: Longde and Trekcho/Thogal
Thank you for responding..was wondering if you know if Longde has anything similar to preliminaries, semdzin, or rushen? Yes it definitely has preliminaries (Refuge, bodhicitta, etc.). I don't recall any system such as the 7 or 21 semdzin (or rushen either). It has a lot of tantric techniques that ...

Re: Longde and Trekcho/Thogal
So Im wondering how did so many Vajra Bridge Longde masters achieve rainbow body? It is because Longdé has some special key-points (postures, etc.) that activate the wisdom-wind. Also the practice of these key-points is often combined with specific chülen techniques. and why did Longde kind of die ...

Longde and Trekcho/Thogal
It seems to me in my limited understanding that Longde has elements of both Trekcho and Thogal although not as extensive. So Im wondering how did so many Vajra Bridge Longde masters achieve rainbow body? and why did Longde kind of die out? (with the exception of ChNN teaching it)

The Medicine Buddha Dharani has helped me through some pretty rough times, similar to what you have suffered.

Re: The Great Debate on Quitting Smoking
The way I see it is that smoking isnt just one habit..its a bunch of them throughout your day. For example, when you wake up, before and/or after a meal, having one on your break at work etc. All of these are triggers that make it difficult to stop. So, try this: dont worry or beat yourself up over ...
