Re: Five Tibetan Rites

So please tell me, 1. do these exercises improve one's health across the board and slow down aging? and 2. is this set of five exercises Tibetan in origin? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Tibetan_Rites 1. They are pretty basic exercises which I can't see doing any harm as long as one is careful(...

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu

Maybe the courses are mostly YY and VD because it's a lot easier to learn this in person where you can ask questions and be corrected by the instructor . Also YY and VD have aspects parts that can be taught and practised by people that haven't had transmission. They can be good community outreach t...

Re: Direct Transmission of Dzogchen

Thank you so much. I'm a newbie at all this and webcast are a first for me. Can we receive Direct Transmission of Dzogchen from a webcast? Also, You can receive direct transmission during the webcast at the moment Rinpoche gives it. if I can't see this webcast live can I download it or record it so...

You can't the lung from replay.

The principle of receiving transmission works because Master and students are on the same moment on the same state.

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu

By the same token I may have the intention to produce a video that allows for transmission/pointing out. When does my intention end? The video provides the structure, not the transmission. If Dzogchen is beyond space and time, then how can its transmission be bound by space and time? Why is its tra...

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu

Essentially you are listening to a replay anyway. The teaching is recorded, transformed to binary and then transmitted. So drawing the line at the replay of something said a second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year ago seems kind of arbitrary really doesn't it? If the intention of the person be...

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu

Please to remember that the webcasts are NOT contemporaneous with Rinpoche's actual speech. They are delayed by many seconds. Once you understand this, then you understand that ALL of Rinpoche's webcasts are exactly of the same nature as a replay. The replays are just delayed by more time. I see it...

oldbob, what about the line, "if you haven't attended the teaching you shouldn't listen to the webcast" I guess being along the same lines of if you haven't had the lung(or at the least, given permission) you shouldn't be reading the text. I've extended that to webcasts for myself. If I'm ...

Exactly, and why would he? It makes no sense. Rinpoche shouldn't have to micromanage all our collective neurosis. Sometimes we should just use our common sense and get on with things.

It is perfectly legal. Regarding ethics, I guess what we should do is get to know what ChNN thinks of such a solution... It is too late for sure, though. I think its possible to run the risk of over regulating ourselves and also not thinking for ourselves for fear of doing something wrong. I don't ...

Weird. I seem to have lost a post. Anyway, the gist of it was, Oldbob has pointed out a problem that is, IMHO, by no means imaginary and very much in need of being addressed.
