Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
You mean because Rinpoche gave a DI on those retreats? There is no lung for Rushens right...so you mean they just didn't want people without DI watching the retreat? Seems odd, given that it's an open Webcast, but maybe. Hopefully Rinpoche will be back doing them soon!Pero wrote: ↑Sun Jun 10, 2018 8:42 amYeah but I think it's because Rinpoche was giving transmission for them. I suspect they don't want people attending who don't already have transmission (like Mantrik mentioned).Johnny Dangerous wrote: ↑Sat Jun 09, 2018 10:17 pmI don't get the Rushens thing, Rinpoche has done Rushens plenty on open webcasts. First day was great though.

In order to do them you need to have some kind of transmission and permission.

“Everything of the universe of saṃsāra and nirvāṇa arises as the enlightened energy of the one self-perfected Natural Presence. But these teachers still mistakenly teach that disciples should fabricate enlightenment by applying discipline, renunciation, interruption, purification and transformation”.

Yes, but the open webcasts of Rinpoche for example still come with direct introduction+transmission, and with that also samaya - always. No direct introduction given in this retreat, and as such it is not fitting to be discussing something that is governed by samaya.Johnny Dangerous wrote: ↑Mon Jun 11, 2018 4:26 pmYou mean because Rinpoche gave a DI on those retreats?

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
Does anyone know if there is an audio file available for the melody of the Purification Practice of Vajrasattva and Mandala Offering? I've looked on both the international site and the one in the US, neither seem to have it. Any help with this is greatly appreciated !

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
I have a question about the Guru practice for the SMS three roots. Can you accumulate the mantra normally, or do you have to recite it with the melody?
Thanks!
Thanks!

The river of continuity is marked by impermanence.
Ceaseless flowing of appearance.
Beautiful and repulsive.
The dance of life and death is a display of the vast expanse.
With gratitude the watcher and the watched pass through the barrier of duality.

Am I the only one who cannot replay webcasts? The page loads normally and after few seconds it falls and chrome gives me error message. The same happens with the restricted section of resources.

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
Any news from rinpoche or about his health?
"Don't profess a view you haven't realized!
Since the view is devoid of viewing, mind essence is an expanse of great emptiness.
Since the meditation is without meditating, leave your individual experience free from fixation.
Since the conduct is without acting, it is unfabricated naturalness.
Since the fruition is without abandoning or achieving, it is the dharmakaya of great bliss.
These four sentences are words from my heart:
Contradict them and you fail to discover the nature of Ati Yoga."

No recent news post that I can recall, but I do know there were some recent pics of him hanging out with various students in the garden and cafeteria of Dzamling Gar, looking well.

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
When one has problems with lust for example which makes staying commited in a relationship bit harder, will six loka practice (I am especially interested in the inner rushen one as it is easiest) help with it?

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
I'm looking forward to the WWT happening next month. Does anyone know of any videos available of the mudras involved for the Padmasambhava guru yoga? Also does anyone have a color image of Guru Dewa Chenpo as practiced in the DC?

Does anyone have a link to a good image of the syllables of the Three Vajras? All the images I find online are either too dim, or without a thigle etc.
