http://rywiki.tsadra.org/index.php/spru ... %27khor_lo Looks like it may mean navel center or something related in this case after all :D
It means machine, device, posture, etc.
Is there some reasoning in the meaning based on the two parts of the word in such cases, or is it mostly unrelated?
It is a bad translation.

I mean that the individual meanings of the the two parts trul and khor do not seem to be able to lead to a meaning of 'posture'. Unless this is often not a factor in Tibetan.

The Sanskrit equivalent is yantra. Thus it is an inept translation.

Thanks, I am just asking out of interest about how this generally works in Tibetan, as I am looking into the language more lately.

Adriano is leading the Ganapujas. He is the best umdze -practice leader- on ganapujas (i don't know if on more, havn't checked), and also the main translator of ChNN teachings.
true dharma is inexpressible.

The bodhisattva nourishes from bodhicitta, through whatever method the Buddha has given him. Oh joy.

It seems there's going to be an explanation of mudras before the Ganapuja start time (17:00 GMT +2). In case someone is interested.

meepits wrote: Fri Sep 21, 2018 1:53 pm This recent emphasis on frequent ganapuja is giving me anxiety as I’ve always struggled with the extremely complex visualizations in the book of Thun & GP - transforming into a series of deities, revolving mantras around a central Hum etc.

Is there a simpler way that a solo practitioner (no groups near me) can purify samaya? I believe Malcolm once mentioned that a simple form of ganapuja was to just chant Om Ah Hum over the food / drink to be offered and to see it as the 5 meats / 5 nectars? But maybe that doesn’t specifically address purification?

I would really appreciate any suggestions. I had always assumed that returning to and maintaining our natural state was more important for a time like this than ganapuja, but I am clearly wrong about this, as so many wise and experienced practitioners are joining in these constant ganapujas. I feel stupid & unprepared. Thanks folks for any advice.
You can recite the Jigme Lingpa ganapuja prayer at the end of your practice and dedicate merit.
"All phenomena of samsara depend on the mind, so when the essence of mind is purified, samsara is purified. Since the phenomena of nirvana depend on the pristine consciousness of vidyā, because one remains in the immediacy of vidyā, buddhahood arises on its own. All critical points are summarized with those two." - Longchenpa

Pretty borderline IMO, you can find that stuff anywhere, rightly or wrongly. I edited out the comments to be safe though.

FWIW, the Guruyoga book pages 44 and 45 have been helpful in thinking about this as well.

Which is the one related to Yangti? I recall a transmission in 2014 but don't remember which one.
The Namcho one but that's just for Dzogchen Community not in general. Shitro in general is connected to Yangti cycle, I think that's where it actually originates from.
Although many individuals in this age appear to be merely indulging their worldly desires, one does not have the capacity to judge them, so it is best to train in pure vision.
