Then of course there is also the question how many Yidams one actually need to practice as a Dzogchen practitioner?

The answer is none. Zero.
Of course, but it helps just like all the preliminaries. But will 50 Yidams help more, I don't think so.

This isn't necessarily directly related to Dorje Drolo practice; but how should a Phurba be placed, if at all, on one's altar if we don't have a stand for it?

I was taught that you can stand it up in a glass or other container filled with grain.

From where did you get the replay?
is it a private recording???
Lelopa,
you need to be a DC member to view the replays. But if you are here is the site: http://www.freezecast.com/replay/index.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
"But if you know how to observe yourself, you will discover your real nature, the primordial state, the state of Guruyoga, and then all will become clear because you will have discovered everything"-Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche
Whenever I try to log in to freezecast i get a poppup that says this:
USER CREATED IN THE REPLAY SYSTEM, PLEASE LOGIN AGAIN NOW!
I then try to log in again and all it does is repeat the same thing.
Any ideas on what is going wrong?
thanks
"All phenomena of samsara depend on the mind, so when the essence of mind is purified, samsara is purified. Since the phenomena of nirvana depend on the pristine consciousness of vidyā, because one remains in the immediacy of vidyā, buddhahood arises on its own. All critical points are summarized with those two." - Longchenpa
thanks!
I will give it a try and let you know what happens.

Well this sucks haha. I still wanted to get some replays from there. That's what I get for being lazy.
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.

One day after I can finally log in the thing goes to shit.
What a drag.

Exactly the same with me!
Does anyone know how this thing works for being able to listen to the replays?
THis is the magic side of Dzogchen ... you have to be present in your nature for it works

By understanding everything you perceive from the perspective of the view, you are freed from the constraints of philosophical beliefs.
By understanding that any and all mental activity is meditation, you are freed from arbitrary divisions between formal sessions and postmeditation activity.
