Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu

Going through some of the old posts here: If you receive transmission of Dark Garuda practice but not the empowerment, you can do the practice and recite the main mantra but not the actions mantras. What exactly are action mantras compared to main mantra?

Breaths through the nostril

Sometimes our breath comes out primarily through the left nostril, sometimes the right, sometimes equally. I read something before that this has some significance in terms of health or our mental state but can't remember much. Can anyone please elucidate on this, if appropriate? Thanks.

Can you practice Yantra yoga from DVDs or does one have to learn them in person first for some sort of lineage transmission??

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu

Thank you Sally and Totoro. Very helpful. :thanks: We should have this for every retreat. It would be nice if the mantras were spelled out phonetically and in Wylie / Tibetan. It would be nicer if someone who has capacity could prepare a module for each practice: purpose, picture of deity, mantra b...

Re: Who should attend DC webcast?

\ Yes, that's the million dollar question. Fortunately ChNN answers it frequently. Rushens, Semdzins, the four contemplations from the Semde series are swift ways of discovering the natural state after direct introduction. So yes, there is great value in receiving oral transmission, symbolic transm...

I've recently developed an interest in DC and CNNR and would like to start receiving teachings from CNNR.

Re: Dzogchen Lineage inside Nyingma

Now, the Dzogchen classification of the teachings differs from that of other approaches. The difference lies in its view that the three kayas—dharmakaya, sambhogakaya, and nirmanakaya—are identical in essence. This means that the nirmanakaya Shakyamuni and the dharmakaya Samantabhadra are not two s...

100 000 Tsog Offerings = how is it done?

Hi

I often read of 100,000 tsog offerings being offered. how is this done? Does it refer to the tsog offering verse being recited 100, 000 times, and the number of times accumulated by a large group of practitioners? Please enlighten me! THx.
