Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu

If you think that direct introduction meant an empowerment in the eyes of CNN, that means you didn't listen very often to his webcasts, especially the stories of receiving an empowerment from his teacher Rigdzin Changchub Dorje , and how that had nothing to do with direct introduction....a Dzogchen ...

Re: merigar gompa

There are more hidden reasons behind the choice. Monte Amiata is famous for its Mercury mines while the other side of the mountain, behind Merigar, has lots of Sulfur. Mercury and Sulfur being the two main substances in Alchemical Lore, connected to the Solar and Lunar Channels, which would place Me...

Re: Vata pacifying diet while practicing Pranayama?

Chatral Rinpoche accomplished all practices without any need for meat or alcohol so there is no general rule here.

Re: Vata pacifying diet while practicing Pranayama?

It would only make sense if your Agni ( Digestive Fire) is able to digest and absorb dairy products or any food for that matter, so yes, the Vata Pacifying Diet makes sense for controlling the Vayus but Samana Vayu ( the Equalizing Prana responsible for digestion) needs to be taken care of foremost....

Re: anyone need Longchen Nyingthig Palchen dupa text

Hello,
If still available could you possibly send a copy of the Palchen Dupa sadhana to [email protected]?
I just received transmission from Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche in April in Nepal. Thanks in advance.

Re: Thoughts on Shenphen Dawa Rinpoche

Rinpoche was my very first Vajrayana teacher and, after 15 years of following teachings by many different masters, reading many Dharma books and feeling like somehow I have made some progress in my understanding, I am always amazed when I re-read the notes I carefully took during that first retreat....

Re: Completion of the path of Tögal

I have met this couple after they completed 9 years of retreat near Chagdud Gompa in Northern California. Their teacher is (was) Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche. They are authentic practitioners, of that I am sure. They even abandoned successful high profile careers in the art world to do retreat, all the wa...

Re: New & Improved treatment for various forms of cancer?

Cancer rates will start to go down when we start focusing on prevention and causes ( chemicals in our food for instance ) instead on spending billions on developing machines to treat a disease once it has already become deadly (of course they are also useful but should not be the only recipient of f...

Re: How to treat weak prana vata etc.?

Calamus root can either be taken directly as a powder "snuff" once a day in the morning, but it is quite harsh on the sense organs ( it is used so in ayurvedic medicine to stop seizures which are a major disorder of Prana Vata), or ( I recommend ) as essential oil, three drops maximum mixe...

Re: How to treat weak prana vata etc.?

You can increase Prana Vata by taking Calamus Root but if you live in the US, it is now only available for external use in the US (despite centuries of safe internal use in ayurvedic medicine). For toxins, you need to start with taking Triphala ( a mix of three dried fruits) as a powder for six mont...
