That's what I thought but wasn't sure. I have the download from the webcast page (practice text only).

Can someone confirm that there is no transformation in this sadhana?

DS
yes, in the anuyoga way.

this sadhana is a bit different from the booklet, but you can find it in the resources section in the same page as the webcast is.
When do we transform - during action mantra?

Can someone explain why we say the parts of the mantra many times and not only the full mantra (please pm if better)

DS
At the seed.

A few years back Khyentse Yeshi did a Longde retreat in the Baja. Did anyone here attend that? If so, do you know if there are transcripts/recordings of any kind?

Great article in The Melong in case anyone missed it:

Recalling The Presence of the Master
Rinpoche’s parents didn’t have a son so Rinpoche’s father went to the great Dzogchen master Adzom Drugpa. Adzom Drugpa gave him some advice to do Green Tara practice and so Rinpoche’s parents invited a practitioner, a lama, to the family’s house where he did Tara practice for one month, with the 21 Invocations etc. Then after a year or so this lama had a dream in which he saw a yellow flower blooming and then he understood that a male was going to be born there. When their son was born, the parents were so overjoyed that they considered him to be a gift from the sky and they called him ‘Namkhai Norbu’ which means ‘Jewel or Gift from the Sky’. So it is important that we know that. Then once, I remember very well, Rinpoche told me, “I was born with Tara and I will die with Tara”.

Hello. Is it enough to acquire the Shitro mp3 from the online shop so I could learn how to do it? I've only got the the Mantras and Invocations book as a reference. The Teachings on Shitro and Yangti book is out of stock in the UK shop. It's in stock in the US shop, but I can't afford it due to the shipping fees.

As long as you have an explanation of the practice and the sadhana text so you know what you're doing during the mp3. When you can, be sure to get the Shitro and Yangti book bc Rinpoche goes very in depth with the explanations.

Thank you for the advice, mechashivaz. Ah yes, I meant I'll buy the explanation, and practice mp3. Whoops. I guess I'll wait for the book to be available again. I'm still waiting for a reply from the UK shop about it too. My hearing isn't as good so having the book just as you said is important.

Which one? He revealed many and ChNN taught from the cycle numerous times.
"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

ChNN had mentioned basically:

"tregcho there is one of the terma teaching of my teacher Changchub Dorje."

And he goes on to say it is a tregcho without the four ...

So I dont know which one exactly.

So it's in stock there as well? Wasn't able to see it since it blocks me from viewing the description. It just tells me to send in a form about Yangti retreat dates except I can't since haven't participated in one. The Italy shop's shipping fees isn't viable for me either. I remember looking for the chod book there previously, and I was floored at the hefty sum. Twice as much as the book itself. Anyway, I'm real glad they have downloadable stuff available, I wouldn't be able to get the necessary materials otherwise. The customer service staff were quite friendly too. :twothumbsup:

Reading through the Song of the Vajra commentary and it's illuminating how extremely important this transmission is. :o :shock:

Mantrik meant the "Teaching on Shitro and Yangti" book.

There is also explained meaning of Shitro, not only technique. If one is familiar with the technique, applies regularly and want to go deeper in the real sense, then is a must. :)

Of course one can go straight to the point of shitro, since the method is so easy to perform. :cheers:

But for this book you'd don't need to put in any dates. For the shipping fees, was there only the expensive option? I get three options with different prices but maybe it's different for UK.

That used to be so in the past, but they have changed it recently, it's now categorized as restricted Yangti teaching on Shangshung Store.

I can see it's in stock, but I can't view the descriptions when I click on it while logged in as it has been categorised differently as Leif have said.

As for the shipping fees, it's understandable since I live far away. There's no other shipping option hence the fees for it as seen in the attached picture for example. Meanwhile, the UK shop sends it via Royal Mail with the most secure economical packaging I've ever seen. It took a while to receive, and I'm fine with the wait since it arrived safely.
