I think this particular book is Ok to read after D.I but maybe someone else knows 100%?

In The Precious Vase Rinpoche recommends that, if the circumstances are there to practice Mahayoga, "we should engage in the stages of kyerim and dzogrim on the basis of the original texts of the Guhyagarbha Tantra and in conclusion integrate the final accomplishment of these teo stages in the state of Rigpa of Total Perfection."
I understand that the Guhyagarbha Tantra is held in especially high regard, and was important in the development of Nyingma practice, but can we get the same benefit from practicing Mahayoga according to a different text, e.g. from the Chokling Tersar?

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
Yes of course. I do not see any reason why not. The main benefit is a liberation. Also you will get the taste of how mahayoga works with any sadhana of mahayoga. But I am quite uneducated so maybe someone else might have more insight.Spelare wrote: ↑Sat May 05, 2018 12:14 pmIn The Precious Vase Rinpoche recommends that, if the circumstances are there to practice Mahayoga, "we should engage in the stages of kyerim and dzogrim on the basis of the original texts of the Guhyagarbha Tantra and in conclusion integrate the final accomplishment of these teo stages in the state of Rigpa of Total Perfection."

Hello. I had the good fortune of watching the Ati Yoga Teachings webcast this January 1st. I checked the transmissions listed, and it was amazing to see there was a lot there. Were they all given at that day, even chod?
I wasn't able to follow the webcast very well since my connection randomly lagged. I had to switch to the audio version just to stay with the streaming. Can I still start my practice despite that?

Kye ma!
The river of continuity is marked by impermanence.
Ceaseless flowing of appearance.
Beautiful and repulsive.
The dance of life and death is a display of the vast expanse.
With gratitude the watcher and the watched pass through the barrier of duality.

I don't know, have you heard the entire lung?
"Don't profess a view you haven't realized!
Since the view is devoid of viewing, mind essence is an expanse of great emptiness.
Since the meditation is without meditating, leave your individual experience free from fixation.
Since the conduct is without acting, it is unfabricated naturalness.
Since the fruition is without abandoning or achieving, it is the dharmakaya of great bliss.
These four sentences are words from my heart:
Contradict them and you fail to discover the nature of Ati Yoga."

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
That's what I'm unsure about. Sorry, my hearing isn't that good. At which part was it given? During the middle? There were some delays on the webcast, and I was able to view it despite that until the connection got bad in the last few minutes that I switched to audio streaming to complete the streaming.javier.espinoza.t wrote: ↑Tue May 08, 2018 10:37 amYes, there was the IDC chod lung transmision.moonbun wrote: ↑Sat May 05, 2018 4:31 pmHello.

Dear all,
This morning we took Rinpoche to the clinic because we noticed that he had a little bit of fever, apart from which He was good. At the clinic doctors have found that the fever was cuased by an urinary infection.
Rinpoche stayed at the clinic, as tomorrow morning He will undergo routine analysis.
Rinpoche is in good mood, He rests and overall He is fine, but needs to cure this infection.
Best wishes and thank you all for your loving messages that tomorrow morning we will be able to tell Him.

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
According to my notes, I viewed the lung for the naga invitation, and offering, until the lung for a mantra with a 'dakini ah hung' before I had to switch to the audio stream. I wasn't able to write down the mantras completely since I'm unfamiliar with them.

Sorry for the trouble, javier.espinoza.t. I'm not a native English-speaker so I sometimes have trouble understanding spoken English words. I'm still grateful, for this was a tough, but rewarding experience since I was able to have the opportunity to receive Chogyal Namkhai Norbu's teachings despite my condition.

Does someone know if the Mandarava initiation that ChNNR gave in the last Mandarava drubchen was a tonwang? Or, if not, what was it?
