The Great Transfer Experience
The Great Transfer Experience
It's no secret that the Star Wars mythology, including the Jedi achieving a body of light and their physical bodies disappearing at death, was inspired by the Dzogchen system. So I asked myself if there is a hollywood movie which probably depicts specifically the Dzogchen achievement of The Great Transfer. Below is a scene of a hollywood movie which seems indeed inspired by The Great Transfer. The depicted details include: Imprinting the hand into solid rock, the aggregates of the body been liberated into their essences (therefore spontaneously the appearance of the body taking on every form the practitioner needs it to), visions (incl. bindus), opening of the kati channel (shining of clear light through the pupils), realization of the dharmakaya through sky gazing, direct insight into appearances of the environment etc. Pretty funny!

A ridiculous trivialisation imo.

we don't know until we experience it. speculations, presumptions and blind faith are useless.
true dharma is inexpressible.
The bodhisattva nourishes from bodhicitta, through whatever method the Buddha has given him. Oh joy.

Re: The Great Transfer Experience
But this post is from the person who "has studied more Dzogchen than anyone on the planet".
It couldnt possibly be trivial since it is being brought to us by an individual of such unquestionable authority and superiority.
"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

Re: The Great Transfer Experience
It is not ridiculous, it is simply ridiculous from your point of view.

If I’d come upon this video clip on my own, I don’t think it would’ve ever made me think of togal.
