Any thoughts on how this talk relates to the idea of "invigorating the clarity aspect"?
For some reason, i am reminded of an interview with Dudjom Rinpoche that I read a year or so before he passed away. It was in the Shambhala Sun and someone asked him how he was and he said "miserable."dzogchungpa wrote:The Choice to be Free: https://vimeo.com/148825253

This really made an impression on me because although i had never met Dudjom Rinpoche he was supposedly one of the great masters of his day so how could he be " miserable"?
The choice to be free may lie in being exactly how you are. Revelation.
Sorry to disappoint you, Adamantine, but I am unable to provide anymore than my memory on this. As I said, i think it was in the Shambhala Sun, but as you are undoubtably aware, even this could be in error. That Dudjom Rinpoche replied to the question "How are you" with "miserable" I am not in doubt about tho.Adamantine wrote:Source / link?

I have to say I also find it a little hard to believe that Dudjom Rinpoche would have responded like that, even if he actually was miserable.MalaBeads wrote:Sorry to disappoint you, Adamantine, but I am unable to provide anymore than my memory on this.

If it is truly imperative that you "see it to believe it" I would suggest contacting the publishers of Shambhala Sun and asking them to look at old interviews with Dudjom Rinpoche. Or perhaps someone else whose word you will accept also remembers. This is all I can provide.

Thanks for posting this. I have never read "Entering the Diamond Way" but your post does jar my memory a bit. Most likely I read the above quote in the Vajradhatu Sun and not the Shambhala publication. And yes, he did have asthma and was replying to that aspect of the question. Again, thanks for responding. That helped me remember more.lelopa wrote:MalaBeads wrote:For some reason, i am reminded of an interview with Dudjom Rinpoche that I read a year or so before he passed away.

this quotation is from the book: "entering the diamond way" of ole nydahl!
i only know the german versions - it is page 176 of the first edition - in the chapter "Kalu Rinpoche".
it was a question how he feels because of his acute asthma
So it's actually supposed to be a quote from Kalu Rinpoche, not Dudjom Rinpoche? ?lelopa wrote:MalaBeads wrote:For some reason, i am reminded of an interview with Dudjom Rinpoche that I read a year or so before he passed away.
