Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle

what is different in the Karma Ratna presentation and of what import those differences are? Well, in general Trekchö teachings are of two kinds: 1. instructions on the View, or 2. instructions relying on contemplative techniques following DI. The instructions on the View are basically explanations ...

Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle

To give a general idea of the supplemental Trekchö text by Karma Ratna and see how it is quite different from more “usual” Trekchö instructions, it is divided into five parts : 1. the explanation about the defects inherent in not having realized emptiness and the Clear-Light of the Mind (sems nyid);...

I don't think so. The text by Khenpo Karma Ratna is very good and has all that is sufficient for teaching trekchö.

Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle

bummer, that doesn't look like a complete cycle to me. I am sure that orally they will supplement it with Thögel from other sources/cycles. when you say "in the versions that I have access to.." do you mean there can be other texts with more profound dzogchen instructions or unlikely? I d...

Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle

I wonder if 1st Mingyur's terma is mahayoga or anuyoga. It's all about the three yogas. However, Atiyoga is not excessively present in the cycle. In the versions that I have access to, there are no outer or inner rushen, no training of the three doors, etc. You'll find a little bit more trekchö-ori...

Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle

So "trekchö" is kind of an umbrella-term subsuming all practices that leed to Tawa? It depends what cycle of teachings you are referring to. Some texts describe trekchö as "instructions on the View" (lta-khrid). This involves reflections on the part of the practitioner after rec...

Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle

Some cycles are more some less detailed, but practice is same. Not really. Actually, in Dzogchen, trekchö is the practice that shows the most variants, some of which are rather very distinct from others. For instance, in certain Bön cycles, Trekchö refers to "instructions on the View" (lt...

Re: Was karmamudra part of ganachakra in the ancient India?

I am not sure if it is human nature to be so obsessed Possibly but this is essentially because we have taken rebirth in the Desire Realm ('dod khams). Hence, the yoga of the third initiation can become, for those qualified for its practice, one of the swiftest Path (myur lam) among the Buddha's tea...

Re: Tapihritsa Guruyoga

I may add that the description in JR's booklet (except for verse 5 of the long invocation) is pretty good and detailed. There is also a simpler method but it basically relies on what you get in JR's booklet. The core remains the transmission of empowerments through the rays.

Re: Tapihritsa Guruyoga

Most certainly the one you received but it's something rather new. In A-khrid, Guru-Yoga is centered around Shenlha Ökar, same in ZZNG and Chaktri.

Re: Was karmamudra part of ganachakra in the ancient India?

As if sacred sexuality was about following an instruction manual. This is such a narrow view of the path of (sexual) practices that it won't be able to liberate you beyond the concepts you did put in your own mind in the first place. It's clear you have not received these teachings, otherwise you'd...

Re: Was karmamudra part of ganachakra in the ancient India?

Engaging in karmamudra practice demands some qualifications, as well as outer, inner, and secret signs applying to body, speech, and mind. These specificities are discussed in special works known as “ pho-khrid ”, i.e., Guidance for Males, and “ mo-khrid ”, i.e., Guidance for Females. These descript...

Ther is also a lung for the 4 line-GY, but afaik not obligatory to practice GY. True indeed. However, it is interesting to know that this 4-line Guru-Yoga (starting with Chitsuk Dewa...) is a quatrain borrowed from the A-khrid system that came up on the historical scene at least 2 or 3 hundred year...

Re: General set of practices during dzogchen-based dark retreats?

He has given DI in the past and occasionally taught the Dzogchen Training elaborated by Yongdzin Rinpoche but that was 2 decades ago. Now he does not teach anymore. Too disappointed with his students? Not really, rather too busy with academic duties and using his free time for strict retreats.

Re: General set of practices during dzogchen-based dark retreats?

I think that trusted translator and excellent practitioner, JLA, has or had, a for-fee Yangti club. No, it was not for-fee (for whatever that means): the only demand he had was to have a letter (in tibetan) from the master who gave you the transmission if you wanted to get the booklets. There was n...
