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

Re: Chogyal Namkhai Norbu Update
No, I think i'll allow people to express how they feel at a very important moment, regarding one of the most important Dharma teachers of our age, should they desire to. It goes without saying it should be kept respectful.javier.espinoza.t wrote: ↑Fri Sep 28, 2018 12:14 am please mods, delete this thread. let's keep this quiet as is supposed.

Re: Chogyal Namkhai Norbu Update
A universal teacher, a true guru for this mad era. The Picasso of Tibetan wisdom teachings. A rare diamond who’s brilliance and clarity cut through the poisons of cynicism and ignorance alike.
I left Buddhism years ago, but I have never left what he showed me about the nature of mind, and he has remained one of the only lights I could ever cling to.

Re: Chogyal Namkhai Norbu Update
My heart goes out to you, DC.
There is no suffering to be severed. Ignorance and klesas are indivisible from bodhi. There is no cause of suffering to be abandoned. Since extremes and the false are the Middle and genuine, there is no path to be practiced. Samsara is nirvana. No severance achieved. No suffering nor its cause. No path, no end. There is no transcendent realm; there is only the one true aspect. There is nothing separate from the true aspect.

"...No one can always be together with his or her teacher and this is unnecessary as he already has given his student important transmissions and teachings that are his very essence. You have to understand that your teacher's essence is inseparable from your primordial state. In that condition you can no longer say, "I cannot be in my real nature" as the physical level is merely relative. Sometimes when we joke, play, and practice together people become extremely happy thinking, "I am joyous to be with my teacher. " At such a moment I repeat that in order to be really happy you should practice Guruyoga. By continuously practising Guruyoga you will always remain with your teacher in the inseparable state of his and your primordial state."

Thank you for sharing the update.
Re: Chogyal Namkhai Norbu Update
I heard a story about when Marpa's son died falling off a horse (or something like that). His students came to him and saw him crying. They asked, "Teacher, you taught us that everything is an illusion, so why are you crying?"
Marpa replied, "Yes, it's an illusion, but a very big illusion."
Love and prayers to every student of Rinpoche.

Re: Chogyal Namkhai Norbu Update
I am of course disheartened by this news and disappointed in myself that I was not able to get as far in my practice while he was still alive, but for some reason this past week of practicing together has given me more confidence in my practice.
Does anyone know if we can still purify our samaya with Rinpoche while he is in this samadhi state? I've been doing the practices over the past week or so, but I haven't been able to make every one. I see they are still webcasting the practices daily, so I hope that means there is still an opportunity to purify any problems with samaya. Does anyone know? Thanks.

The title of this thread is somewhat vague. This really isn’t any old “update,” not that the title needs to state anything explicitly, but it falls short of capturing the importance of this, and could be easily overlooked.
Re: Chogyal Namkhai Norbu Has Attained Parinirvana
This marks the end of an era of Dharma in the modern world methinks.
May all of us Vajra siblings purify our samaya and recognise our primordial state.
