Re: John Myrdhin Reynolds (aka Vajranatha)
In my 40 years of taking Dharma teachings from Lama Vajranatha, I have always found that his sincere motivation to help others is real and from the heart. In many circumstances over many years, he has never once, "sold the Dharma." I have never seen him turn anyone away for lack of money, ...

Re: John Myrdhin Reynolds (aka Vajranatha)
:namaste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvrExPNPxiE The profoundly uncommon Lama Vajranatha teaches from his own direct experience. This is where his real authority to teach comes from. Notice the fire in the eyes, and beyond the words. This is living Dzogchen. Some times he talks about dreams. :h...

Re: Issue with DC teaching and transmission
:namaste: :heart: Excellent question. Perhaps a new form of instruction can be formulated that contains. 1. The Guru Yoga of the White Ah from the actual Worldwide transmission of ChNN and repeated in real time by a Transmission holder. 2. A formal reading of the practice text, in local language, in...

Re: Issue with DC teaching and transmission
--- and for those in the retreat, the Transmission continues without any conception of responsibility or no responsibility.
It is very nice to see the Transmission continue and to share that space within the Dzogchen Community.

Re: Better late than never
:namaste: Again – we differ. I have nothing to say about who can or cannot give Direct Introduction. I can speak of my experience. “For me, the experience was as traditional as any I’ve received. I have nothing to say and couldn’t if I wanted to.” Perhaps that is the integrity of Transmission. :heart:

Issue with DC teaching and transmission
:namaste: The 75-80 students who are learning Tregchod quite happily would disagree with anyone criticizing Elias. I am one of these students and I disagree. I've been doing Dzogchen since 1970. I've studied with many Dzogchen Masters and Elias is Teaching Dzogchen quite successfully in his own styl...

Re: Better late than never
:namaste: So perhaps the next step is to allow the "intention to take a Direct Introduction", in person when the opportunity presents itself, will allow those who don't live in Italy, or can't afford the time and money to travel, to get a valid Direct Introduction. This could be by webcast...

Re: Better late than never
Yes, here, the intensions (and the teaching structures) have no fixed limits or politics. Perhaps limits are made by the political structures of organizations. Here, the intention to take a formal Direct Introduction, when it becomes available, is also acceptable for attendance. Perhaps this helps m...

Re: Better late than never
Yes, you can register for, and enter, the retreat after it has started.

Re: Better late than never
The book has a linear format and is organized sequentially, but the explanations are holographic based on his own experience. Nice stories. The intellectual content of the book is used as a framework on which to hang the Dzogchen view. Very Interesting. I don't think you would miss anything by start...
