I did not tell them to do long-life practice for me. Why? Because first the weak points had to be healed. If we do not know how to work on this very basic level linked to samaya, thinking only of ourselves, long-life practice will have no effect. So I recommend that practitioners all respect each other as much as possible. Not only that, if you try to respect all other beings, including insects, then so much the better. This is one of the most important practices in daily life, so try to do so.

Releasing animals
"To The Spiritual Master, Buddha of Infinite Life, Amitayus,
And to his bodhisattva disciples, I bow.
I will now briefly explain the benefits
Of ransoming and releasing animals.
To ransom and release animals
Constitutes a flawless practice
To be done with pure motivation and applied
By all of Shakyamuni's followers.
The benefits of this practice have been described extensively
In many sutras, tantras and treatises.
Oceanlike gatherings of learned and accomplished masters of India and Tibet
Have considered this an important way to aid beings.
For those of the Hinayana,
This practice represents the abandoning of harming others;
For those who have entered the mind of awakening of the Mahayana,
It represents the training itself;
And for pracitioners of the Secret Mantra,
It represents the principal tantric commitment of the Jewel buddha family.
The reason for this is that in the world,
Nothing is more precious than life itself
And no negative act more serious than taking life.
Therefore, among composite forms of the roots of virtue,
None has greater benefit
Than the ransom and release of animals.
If you wish for happiness and good fortune,
Be diligent on this supreme path..."

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
Dear Vajra Family,
I would like to update you briefly about Rinpoche’s situation.
As you all know, Rinpoche is being at the clinic in the north of Tenerife since last Friday.
The reason is he was detaining some liquid with his legs, arms and got an infection in his right leg. Now the water is reducing lots and the level of liquids is almost normal, but the problem is the weakness of his kidneys. So his doctor said that in order to improve his kidneys, Rinpoche has to remain more days at the clinic. The doctors and nurses are taking the maximum care of him and also some of us rotate for 24 hr to stay with him.
He has no pains, he is eating and sleeping very well, blood pressure and oxygen level are very normal.
The rest of our Community, Gars and Lings could support him through your practices in groups and individually. We have been doing lots of collective practices for him but still it is very important to do it continually for his recovering.
We will try to update you with the curerent situation from time to time.
Many Tashidelegs!!!

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
There was a written statement Rinpoche made and I don't know when it was, where he named the areas that had not yet been healed. The comment on "not knowing what they're doing" is my opinion, not something Rinpoche said.
Every illness has a negative spirit involved.

Isn't it time for those who know how to use a phurba, to pick it up and do something? I know he says just do Guru Yoga, but that's to keep folks who don't know what they're doing from messing with his healing process. He has described the areas of his body that are under attack. You have all the information you need.
Are there any real yogis out there??
Just wondering....
Has he said that his illness is caused by provocation?
I know Mandarava ,Odzer Chenma,Jigme Lingpa's short Tsok are done
for Rinpoche's health.
Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
His advice to do Guru Yoga is definitely not to keep people who “don’t know what they’re doing from messing with the healing process”.Lhasa wrote: ↑Mon Jul 23, 2018 2:14 pm There was a written statement Rinpoche made and I don't know when it was, where he named the areas that had not yet been healed.

His advice, for decades has been that Guru Yoga is supreme for realization and purification. His advice is consistent and deeply applicable to this particular circumstance.
"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: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
I dont believe that Tibetan medicine teaches that every illness is due to negative spirits; there are also other factors such as the humors and karma.

For some reason it doesn't work. In the end the price is still the same.

The displayed price is the discounted price but without any note about the previous real price.
That is why is confusing.

I have requested that they keep the discounts for the e-products permanent.
Access to Teachings should not depend on being able to afford them.
Maybe they can put all of the e-products on the replay page for free.
