Liberation through Taste Medicine???
At times visiting Rinpoches would distribute some medicine of sort(usually black),and it is said to be benficial to take everyday. One of them come in a paper wrapping which states something abt "Liberation Through Taste",what does it exactly means? And is it the only purpose of such medicine?
Posting in Nyingma sub-forum,as I recall this is something Nyingma-specific(and based on my memory,only Nyingma lamas and rinpoches distribute such substance).

In my extremely limited experience, lamas gifting Mendrup seems common. I only have experience with Nyingmapas so I cannot say if this exists in other schools.liuzg150181 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2018 5:39 pm At times visiting Rinpoches would distribute some medicine of sort(usually black),and it is said to be benficial to take everyday.

It is a Dzogchen thing, liberation through the five senses.

I have faith in that stuff based on the instructions of more than one excellent teacher.
Use as directed. Respect it. It's precious.

Where to get this medicine? Want to taste.
May all beings be free from suffering and causes of suffering

The six liberations are liberation through sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, and mind.
The last is for practitioners, the others are for non-practitioners.
If you are a serious Dzogchen practitioner it is 100% guaranteed that you will attain buddhahood either in this life, the bardo, or the next life (in the nirmanakāya buddhafields if you do not find time to practice much in this life but possess the instructions and understand them) depending on your diligence. If you are not so serious, but have faith in Dzogchen teachings, than it is certain you will obtain buddhahood within a few lifetimes.
Why do I say this? It is because this is what is said in all of the six major commentaries we have on the 17 tantras, as well as what is said in the 17 tantras themselves.

And also,better to let the others taste it,such as dissolving it in water? But isnt it more efficient to use liberation to sight or sound since many ppl can view or hear it(to a lesser extent smell,but it is expendable unlike the other two)?
So no point doing HYT stuff that involves Creation and Completion stage once one is a serious Dzogchen practitioner?

In my opinion, not much. Of course we always have secondary conditions, and for some people the indirect Atiyoga path is more effective since it is a path based on symbols.So no point doing HYT stuff that involves Creation and Completion stage once one is a serious Dzogchen practitioner?

May you elaborate on the different uses part and Atiyoga path vis-a-vis HYT? For the latter do you mean creation and development stage with Dzogchen view?Malcolm wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 5:55 pmIt refers to practicing Dzogchen.liuzg150181 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 5:47 pm

Re: Liberation through Taste Medicine???
For example, with liberation through taste we give the dying person a little bit, or we can feed it to animals, or "liberation bomb" unsuspecting ordinary people; the same with special incense, we can use the six syllables, as in my sig, sing them, sing song of the vajra; we can make a tagdrol, which assists in practice; one can use their imagination.liuzg150181 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 6:04 pmMay you elaborate on the different uses part and Atiyoga path vis-a-vis HYT?

The unsurpassed secret cycle of Atiyoga (aka sNying thig) is based on direct perception. The mind series on down is based on inference and mind.liuzg150181 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 6:04 pmMay you elaborate on the different uses part and Atiyoga path vis-a-vis HYT?

In Atiyoga, after receiving transmission, whether elaborate or not, you practice rushan, then trekchö, then thögal. Many people, masters and students, use Anuyoga as supporting practices. But it is not the main path. The main path is rushan, then trekchö, then thögal.
Re: Liberation through Taste Medicine???
But isn't it a problem if someone overhears you saying the six syllables or another mantra?

Re: Liberation through Taste Medicine???
With respect to the six spaces of Samantabhadra, 'a a ha sha sa ma, there is no problem at all. You want other beings to here it. Maybe people will find it weird, but you can chant it for animals, and dying people. It is not like other mantras, wrahtful mantras in particular.Aryjna wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 7:07 pmBut isn't it a problem if someone overhears you saying the six syllables or another mantra?
