It is interesting how things aren't always how they seem at first glance though, isn't it?

Is it the view of dzogchen that is taught, or is the group's structure or interactional style unusual?

it depends on what you are focusing, but the specific benefits of each yantra and pranayama are described in the commentary of the root text "Union of the Moon and the Sun Yantra" called "A Stainless Mirror of Jewels" -both included in the book "Yantra Yoga, The Tibetan Yoga of Movement"- at the end of each commentary -in the text-. This benefits can give us an idea for apply them in the face of a manifested sign.makewhisper wrote:Another question: How does one know whether Yantra Yoga, pranayama or kumbhaka is needed? What signs manifesting in practice suggest a need for one or more of these practices? Thanks!
Yantra Yoga is a system that includes both Pranayama and Kumbhaka, so I really don't understand your question. If you need Kumbhaka or not depends on the other practices you do or want to do. E.g. for a more complex Anu-Yoga practice it is very good if not indespensable to know how to do Kumbhaka. Pranayama is a basis for many Ati-Yoga practices and so on...makewhisper wrote:Another question: How does one know whether Yantra Yoga, pranayama or kumbhaka is needed?

For many years I studied traditional Japanese martial arts in the Bujinkan organization. I was very surprised over the years to learn how we were viewed by people in the traditional Koryu ("old school" martial arts).

Basically Rinpoche will give transmission (lung) of various practices used in the Dzogchen Community, as well as also giving very brief instruction (tri) on these practices.makewhisper wrote:Hiya.

Thank you. Is it the case that if I participate through the webcast I receive the lungs for secondary practices as with the WWTs of guru yoga?Virgo wrote:Those are lungs or permissions for many secondary practices, for example for Green Tara, and for other mantras.makewhisper wrote:Hiya.

If you participate in the webcast from beginning til end, then you will receive transmission of the Longsal Rushen teachings of Rinpoche given in this particular retreat, as well as direct introduction - since Rinpoche always gives this - as well as his trilungs at the final day. You will be able to practice all of the things you receive in this retreat, if you participate in the webcast live.makewhisper wrote:Thank you.

Thank you, Norwegian. Is there a practice that needs to be prepared for to receive direct introduction as with WWT?

No. Direct introduction is not bound by any specific text. It can be formal (as with the WWT), or it can be informal. It can be elaborate, or extremely unelaborate.makewhisper wrote:Thank you, Norwegian. Is there a practice that needs to be prepared for to receive direct introduction as with WWT?

If you are there on the last day you will receive all the lungs, yes. I like to recommend this video to people about some of the advices that Rinpoche gives.makewhisper wrote:Thank you.
