Adriano is leading the Ganapujas. He is the best umdze -practice leader- on ganapujas (i don't know if on more, havn't checked), and also the main translator of ChNN teachings.

Thank you

I posted tearful face because I had read something that said Rinpoche had improved, but I doughty clarification with the webcast team and they said no and that is just a matter of time...

friend this is samsara, with life comes death, try to understand

I am quite experienced with the suffering of samsara and the death of loved ones, but it is always difficult.

The thought of Rinpoche dying brings tears to my eyes, mainly do to selfishness of wanting him to be with us longer, and do to feeling guilty of not having been a better practicioner, and also for not having met him in person and having a chance to prostrate before him and thank him for his precious gift.

That worked.

Well, I am not sure. It could be from one of the many video journals that exist with Rinpoche.

It seems there must be a lot of material of this kind, and various recordings of SoV and other things, but they are not in the shangshung shops, and do not appear to be available anywhere else online either.

This is a scene from My Reincarnation.

I never got a chance to see Rinpoche in person either. He was going to visit here in 2017 but fell ill stopped travelling. I'm probably more infuriated at myself for not having the means to visit him instead. All we can do is practice, really. I'm sure that's what he'd want.

ཆོས་ཀྱི་རྒྱལ་པོའི་ཞབས་བརྟན་གསོལ་འདེབས་སྨོན་ལམ།
Long Life Prayer for Dharmaraja.


འགྱུར་མེད་དབྱིངས་ལས་གཡོས་མེད་ཆོས་ཀྱི་རྒྱལ། །
དགོངས་རྟོགས་མཐའ་དང་བྲལ་བ་ནམ་མཁའི་ཀློང་། །
འཕྲིན་ལས་ཐོགས་པ་མེད་པའི་ནོར་བུའི་འོད། །
དུས་མཐའི་མུན་པ་སེལ་བའི་རིན་པོ་ཆེ། །

Unwavering Dharma King, from the unchanging space of your knowledge and realizations beyond limit
in the expanse of the sky ( Namkhai ),
Your enlightened activities are the constant shining Jewel ( Norbu )
Banishing darkness for all times, O Precious One (Rinpoche)

འཁོར་བའི་ནད་གདོན་འཇོམས་པའི་བདུད་རྩི་སྨན། །
ཐར་པའི་ལམ་གྱི་བར་ཆོད་ཟློག་པའི་གྲོགས། །
མ་རིག་སྨག་རུམ་གཞིལ་བའི་ཡེ་ཤེས་འོད། །
ཞབས་པད་བརྟན་ཅིང་མཛད་འཕྲིན་མཐར་ཕྱིན་ཤོག །

You are the medicine which eliminates disease and obstructions,
You are the friend who clears away obstacles to freedom.
You are wisdom’s light, removing the darkness of ignorance.
May you live long, and completely accomplish your enlightened activities.


མི་མཐུན་རྐྱེན་ལས་སྒྲོལ་བའི་སྟོབས་ལྡན་ཕ། །
ལུས་སྲོག་ནུས་པ་གསོ་བའི་བྱམས་ལྡན་མ། །
ཉམས་རྟོགས་བོགས་འདོན་བསྐྱེད་པའི་དགེ་བའི་སྤུན། །
ཞབས་པད་བརྟན་ཅིང་མཛད་འཕྲིན་མཐར་ཕྱིན་ཤོག །

You are the powerful father who frees us from negative circumstances
You are the kind mother who nourishes our body and life force.
You are the Dharma brother who supports and increases our insights and realizations
May you live long and completely manifest your enlightened activities.

རྟག་ཏུ་ཉམས་མེད་སྙིང་གི་ལྡུམ་རའི་དབུས། །
བཅོས་མིན་དད་པའི་མེ་ཏོག་དཀར་པོ་འདི། །
བརྩེ་ཆེན་ཆུ་ཡིས་གསོས་ཏེ་ཁྱེད་ལ་འབུལ། །
ཞབས་པད་བརྟན་ཅིང་མཛད་འཕྲིན་མཐར་ཕྱིན་ཤོག །

In the unblemished garden of our heart center,
This white flower of genuine devotion,
Is sustained by the water of great love; this I offer to you,
May you live long and completely manifest your enlightened activities.


ཀ་དག་གཡོ་བ་མེད་པའི་ཀློང་དབྱིངས་ན། །
ལྷུན་གྲུབ་འགག་པ་མེད་པའི་ཡེ་ཤེས་རྒྱས། །
འོད་གསལ་རྫོགས་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་གདམས་པ་སྤེལ། །
ཞབས་པད་བརྟན་ཅིང་མཛད་འཕྲིན་མཐར་ཕྱིན་ཤོག །

In the space and expanse of unwavering primal purity
The spontaneous presence of continuous wisdom increases
And there you spread the message of clear light Dzogpa Chenpo,
May you live long and completely manifest your enlightened activities

ཅེས་དུས་མཐའི་རྫོགས་ཆེན་རྣལ་འབྱོར་པ་ཆོས་རྒྱལ་ནམ་མཁའི་ནོར་བུ་རིན་པོ་ཆེའི་སྐུ་ཚེའི་ཞབས་བརྟན་གསོལ་ཞིང་མཛད་འཕྲིན་མཐའ་རུ་ཕྱིན་པའི་དྲི་མེད་སྨོན་ལམ་འདི་ཉིད་ལྷོ་ཀོ་རི་ཡའི་རྒྱལ་ས་སོལ་ལ་འགྲུལ་བཞུད་སྐབས་(༢༠༡༨།༩།༡༧)བཏབ་པའོ།། །།

This is our sincere prayer.

This is the latest on Rinpoche's health condition:

"Cari amici,
le condizioni di salute del Maestro continuano ad essere stazionarie, è circondato dalla famiglia, non prova dolore.
La famiglia Namkhai

Dear all,
the condition of the Master continues to be stationary and without pain, is surrounded by his family members.
Namkhai family"

ཅེས་མོས་འདུན་དང་བཅས་ཏེ་སྨན་རི་བ་བསྟན་འཛིན་རྣམ་དག་གིས་༡༩༩༧ལོར་ཕུལ།། །།

And so it was that, with inspired motivation, this was offered up by Tendzin Namdak of Menri (sman ri), in the year 1997.

(Translated from the Tibetan by Erick Tsiknopoulos, September 20th-21st 2018.)

1 The Two Purities here are 1) Inherent Purity (rang bzhin gyi dag pa) or Essential Purity (ngo bo’i dag pa), being pure by nature, and 2) Adventitious Purity (glo bur gyi dag pa), which is the purity of being free or devoid of emotional and cognitive obscurations (sgrib pa) which are adventitious, superficial or temporary. Another meaning for ‘the Two Purities’ is 1) the purity resulting from the elimination of the emotional obscurations of afflictive mental states (nyon mongs kyi sgrip kyis dag pa) and 2) the purity resulting from the elimination of the cognitive obscurations which prevent knowledge of reality (shes bya’i sgrib kyis dag pa).

2 The Five Certainties (nges pa lnga) are five aspects of the pure experience of the Saṃbhogakāya, the ‘resource dimension’ or ‘enjoyment body’ of Buddhahood. These Five Certainties are to be cultivated in order to give rise to pure view or purified vision which is in accordance with that pure experience of the Saṃbhogakāya. They are specifically related to the act of teaching the Buddha Dharma; and are namely: 1) the certainty of the Teacher (ston pa’i nges pa), that the teacher giving the Dharma teaching is Vajradhara or Vairocana Buddha, or else in the form of another Buddha endowed with all the usual signs and marks of Enlightenment; 2) the certainty of the Dharma (chos kyi nges pa) or the Teaching (bstan pa’i nges pa), that the Dharma which is being taught is that of the Great Vehicle (mahāyāna); 3) the certainty of the retinue (‘khor gyi nges pa), that the assembly who listens to the Dharma teaching are all Bodhisattvas abiding on the Ten Bhūmis or Bodhisattva Levels (not, it should be noted, only Bodhisattvas on the Tenth Bhūmi, but from the First Bhūmi onward); 4) the certainty of the place (gnas kyi nges pa), that the location where the Dharma is being taught is the Densely Arrayed Pure Land of Akaniṣṭhā; and 5) the certainty of the time (dus kyi nges pa), that the time when the Dharma is being taught is the ‘continuous wheel of eternity’ (dus rtag pa rgyun kyi ‘khor lo), the time of timeless eternity.

3 Ālāya (-vijñāna)

4 khregs chod (Trekchö)

5 mig mtsho (‘i thabs), a series of forty-two points or methods of practice in the Tögel (thod rgal) teachings of the Great Perfection (rdzog chen). Here ‘eye’ (mig) has the esoteric numerological significance of the number 2, while ‘ocean’ has that of the number 4; combined (and read backwards) they represent these 42 aspects or points.

6 Or ‘Three Mysteries’, of Awakened/Enlightened Body, Speech and Mind, or Vajra Body, Speech and Mind

[Mantrik]

I disagree. I could be wrong of course, but I would never write something like that online.

Be free from dispute and turbulence and mindful of the situation at hand please. Everyone is simply trying to do their best.

Webcast working for anyone?

edit: nevermind, seems to be starting now...

Working. Heavy rain or static obscuring sound but sharing of the practice will happen regardless.

Edit: Clear as a bell now.
