Sir, if you have read all my posts in this discussion, I would be surprised if I was not able to clearly express my respectful and sincere motives. I have never questioned his orthodoxy, only trying to establish whether his approach will be compatible with the requirements of my own path. It started with my asking for testimonies as to the quality of Rinpoche’s conduct, in view of the fact that we are asked to carefully scrutinise prospective masters, a need reinforced by the bad examples that occasionally surface in this regard. Then someone said he places no emphasis at all on śīla (but personally behaves respectably), leading to the discussion on that.Johnny Dangerous wrote:Tārāmitra wrote:I don't think there's really much more to be said in this particular debate. But to answer one direct question:
Not for Buddhists, no. For people arriving straight from the street without any Buddhist practice, I am personally of the view that a basic grounding in Sutra is the safest approach rather than going straight onto Dzogchen and Dzogchen only, but I understand and accept that there are other views on the matter.You think it's necessary for Buddhist practitioners interested in Dzogchen to be taught to not lie, kill etc.?
Are you interested in whether Rincpohes approach would fit you, or simply in trying to find fault with it through the lens of orthodoxy though? That's always an exercise you can engage in, but I don't know if it will get you anywhere.

I think you would have more difficulty with DC people. Many of them have no interest in Buddhadharma apart from ChNN's own teachings.Tārāmitra wrote:Sir, if you have read all my posts in this discussion, I would be surprised if I was not able to clearly express my respectful and sincere motives.

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
Well the answer to that is easy, you don't have to abandon anything or replace anything, Rinpoches approach doesn't revolve around that kind of thinking. I also wasn't trying to accuse you of being insincere or anything like that.Tārāmitra wrote:Sir, if you have read all my posts in this discussion, I would be surprised if I was not able to clearly express my respectful and sincere motives.

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
Very well.
I realize I am a guest in this Dzogchen group, so if anyone has found my posts to be in any way inappropriate or be anything less than perfectly respectful and considerate, it was not intended.
I think my doubts will be more fully resolved if I meet Rinpoche personally and try receiving transmission. I assume I am not thereby bound by anything.
Malcolm, what did you mean by “DC people”?

I think your posts are fine. I don't think you will regret making a connection with ChNN.

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
When I got interested in receiving DI from ChNN I looked as hard as I could for any scandals, shady behaviors or anything related.
Nothing.
As for his approach. Have you read any of his publicly available books introducing Dzogchen?
The only reason I ask is that if you are sincerely interested in receiving his teachings (and obviously you are at least sincerely interested) then reading some of his books is not too much work AND all of the answers that you've got so far are given in his books, along with the context of explaining his understanding of Dzogchen.
"Dzogchen the self perfected state" is probably my favorite. It is very clear about non-denominational, but it very clearly explains everything.
"Crystal and the way of light" is a little thicker, goes a little deeper into technical stuff and is autobiographical. Really wonderful read!
"Dzogchen teachings" is one that I found in a bookstore early on and found useful even if I didn't understand it all at the time.
I came to Dzogchen from outside of Buddhism, with no interest in it whatsoever.
For me personally I have found it very useful to study more Buddhism, both to understand the culture that the dzogchen teachings come from and to help me in those times that I can't constantly rest in non-dual contemplation.
So, while "Buddhism" is not the main point (although Buddhism main point is the main point, and is contained within the beautiful dzogchen teachings), you could say that my learning dzogchen brought at least one person to the dharma (and I'm sure many others).
Nothing.

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
I'm looking for chulen in Kathmandu. I'd like to get some for the mandarava webcast. Does anyone know where I might be able to find it? Pretty much every source selling it online says it comes from the "famous" Tibetan doctor Ngawang Drakpa in Kathmandu, but I can't actually find any information about him online. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
Are there recommended any special practices that would help ‘prepare the ground’, so to speak, and make one more receptive for a maximally efficacious transmission experience? Has Rinpoche recommended anything in particular?

I think it's just relax.
DI is the first point and then everything afterwards is understanding and integrating that.

This is from my experience.Tārāmitra wrote:Are there recommended any special practices that would help ‘prepare the ground’, so to speak, and make one more receptive for a maximally efficacious transmission experience? Has Rinpoche recommended anything in particular?
Being in a relaxed state of open presence is the main point. Keep your back straight.
If you are comfortable doing this, Imagine that ChNNR is the same as all the Buddhas of the 3 times and 10 directions and with strong faith attend to what is said. If it is normal in your practice to listen with joined hands then do that, though most DC practitioners do not.
Once you have the DI transmission and reading transmissions, practicing the transmission of the 3 lights in Guru Yoga in the Tun book, practicing the Guru Yoga of the white Ah, and Purification of the 6 Lokas, all help in making transmission stronger.

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
Hi,
Which book(s) / ebook(s) / Video / Audio would be most recommended for the Mandarava Practice and this Retreat?
quite a few to choose from here:
http://shop.shangshungfoundation.com/en ... it_search=
Also is the specific practice text available online? I've also looked in the IDC members previous retreat resources section but couldn't find an exact match for the practice text there.
Thank you
ps. During the last longsal retreat a recommended reading list was later shown on the bottom of this page
"BOOKS RELATED TO THE CURRENT RETREAT"

along with comments on this thread i found it very helpful, Thank you

Also is the specific practice text available online? I've also looked in the IDC members previous retreat resources section but couldn't find an exact match for the practice text there.
Thank you
ps. During the last longsal retreat a recommended reading list was later shown on the bottom of this page
"BOOKS RELATED TO THE CURRENT RETREAT"

true dharma is inexpressible.
The bodhisattva nourishes from bodhicitta, through whatever method the Buddha has given him. Oh joy.

This is the ebook version, which if you order now will get to you within a matter of hours usually.
The other books are the teaching on the practice, so they will be a useful overview after the retreat.
Happy Losar!
