I got the same app for the same reason, but tuned out a bit right away because 2018 is supposed to be a bad year for me. Unless there’s a way to reverse that, it makes me want to put my energy into rigpa instead of wondering how 2018 could be worse than 2017.

The Four Methods of Development helps very much with that. Also lungtas, and having a namkha and empowering it regularly.LolCat wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2018 5:05 amI haven't read the book yet myself, but the Four Methods of Development deals with this very topic I think.

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
is there a text called Namkha Arted or any other that explains the how-to space gazing-integration?
true dharma is inexpressible.

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
In The Crystal & Way of Light, ChNN describes total realization in familiar dzogchen terms, talking about complete freedom, perfect wisdom, supreme unending bliss, and the ability to spontaneously benefit all beings “in a multiplicity of modes.” But this is relative language, right? Total realization looked at non-dually basically means ‘realized’ nonexistence? All karmic traces are exhausted, the self was always just an illusion, and nothing really remains. No?

The cessation of karmic traces in Mahayana is not the same as the cessation of the shravakas and pratekyabuddhas. The two obscurations are permanently extinguished but the illusion-like rupakayas continue to benefit illusion-like beings, beyond subject, object and activity.

Was Rinpoche saying one can cure schizophrenia with shine?

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
But he said one can cure auditory and visual hallucinations with shine, didn't he? I also remember him saying that one needs to relax more if one is experiencing these phenomenon.

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
I didn't see the webcast refered to but,
Rinpoche always speaks about working with circumstances and knowing our limitations. Schizophrenia, auditory and visual hallucinations are not experienced in the same way by any two people.
It might be the case that for some people in certain circumstances and at certain times that shiné helps but for other people with different circumstances and at others times it may not help. There are people who may find shiné or vippassana actually exascerbate underlying mental health issues so there's really no absolute statement or treatment for conditions that are complex by nature.
Bear in mind that in the buddhist tradition, shiné can act as a secondary condition that brings about various nyams or meditative experiences. Someone with an odd mental condition might experience nyams in a different way to someone without that condition. My main point here is that it's not sensible to draw absolute conclusions from relative and circumstance-dependent statements. 1 person may benefit from shiné and another may not in that moment of time.

Are the 9 breathings typically explained at gars/lings during WWT explanations?

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
Yes, 9 breathings are part of the practice so they are. Also they are very good for helping coordinate energy and can help you relax a bit and strengthen health.

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
I want to prepare for the WWT on Thursday, but I can't find a pronunciation guide for the Invocation of Garab Dorje. In particular, the Qs don't seem to be transliterations of Tibetan. So first, is the Invocation in Tibetan?
I did a search at the SSI store and came up with a recording called Guru Yoga of the White A. Does anyone know if that contains the words and melody for the Invocation?

I believe the Q generally corresponds to cha and X to zha.
