Well all practices have to contain refuge/bodhicitta, main part and dedication. I suppose you could do refuge/bodhiccitta and then in the main part all the main part of the practices you want to do one after the other and then dedicate. This is not "DC tun structure" though, it's just how all Mahayana Buddhist practices should be. There is nothing wrong with doing refuge and dedication multiple times either. So you could also do a bunch of practices from refuge till dedication one after the other in a single sitting. There might be some exceptions to this however, like for example you're not supposed to do ganapuja and purification of six lokas together if I recall correctly.Spelare wrote: ↑Wed Mar 28, 2018 2:47 pmSo, in other words, if I have practices from my other gurus, they have to be in a separate session? That's not terribly efficient, but I will do that if necessary.

Is this something that is fine for individual practice, but in group practice it should only be Dzogchen Community practices? What if, hypothetically, all the members of our local sangha had received transmission for a certain practice from another qualified master? Could we incorporate his/her practices into the DC tun structure?

Although many individuals in this age appear to be merely indulging their worldly desires, one does not have the capacity to judge them, so it is best to train in pure vision.

Next webcast from Dzamling Gar: March 31 - April 3, 2018
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF PRESENCE AND AWARENESS
2nd April
10:00-12:30pm Presence & Awareness morning session
2:30-05:00pm Presence & Awareness afternoon session
3rd April
10:00-12:30pm Presence & Awareness morning session
2:30-05:00pm Presence & Awareness afternoon session
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF PRESENCE AND AWARENESS
In a world overburdened with movement, tension, and distraction, it is becoming increasingly essential that we find ways to relax, coordinate mind and energy. Recognizing the importance of harmonizing thought and feeling within the context of our complicated and multi faceted lives, Dzamling Gar, on behalf the International Dzogchen Community and Shang Shung Foundation, is happy to organize this event.
Instructors from the International Dzogchen Community will present brief talks on this subject and then give advice on how methods of practical training can be applied. Perspectives on this training will also be introduced by yoga and dance instructors.
"Mindfulness", rendered by Dzogchen Master Chögyal Namkhai Norbu as "presence", is a means of bringing ones attention into the experience of the present moment. Many scientific studies have proven its benefits in improving general well-being, and mental and emotional health while eliminating stress and other causes of disease.
List of presenters and titles:
1. Elio Guarisco - Finding mindful presence in cognitive processes
2. Igor Legati - I like and I don't like as the source of all our problems: the solution depends on ourselves, not on anything else.
3. Steven Landsberg - Presence, Well Being, and a Happy LIfe
4. Lukas Chmelik - Understanding and application of Presence and Awareness in meditation and daily life
5. Monica Gentile - Exploring our intention
6. Stoffelina Verdonk - What, why, how is Presence and Awareness? Calming the mind.
7. Igor Berkhin - What is mind?
8. Fabio Risolo - Introduction to Meditation
9. Oliver Leick - Presence and Awareness for Contemporary Youth
10. Patrizia Pearl - Harmonious breathing
11. Fabio Andrico - Yantra yoga - Presence and Movement
12. Maaja Zelmin - Yantra yoga - Presence and Awareness in Yantrayoga

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
Is there a translated text that talks more about the Song of the Vajra? There is that small piece from Nyida Khajor in the SoV book but it would be nice to read more.

Check out the Union of the Sun and Moon Tantra (nyi zla kha sbyor).
Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
Actually in a drukpa center where i live its included in konchog chidu but i think it was included because of an aspicious coincidence with chnn. The teacher said it is sometimes practiced in drukpa kagyu

Yes, if I remember correctly the melody is really something special. It came to Rinpoche as a part of his Jnanadakiny dreams or it is from Jnanadakini.
