Namkha arte-sky gazing
by Fa Dao » Sun Oct 30, 2011 7:42 pm
Is this a Tregchod practice? Does anyone know if ChNNR teaches this and in which book? Any info on this would be helpful

There are excellent teachings by Tulku Urgyen on this practice in a chapter entitled Space, in Quintessential Dzogchen (Rangjung Yeshe Publications) pp 190-196. Adeu Rinpoche also gives a brief but essential teaching on this practice in Freedom from Bondage pp 74-76 (also published by Rangjung Yeshe). Of course, this is no replacement for direct teachings from a qualified master, but they might satisfy your curiosity until you get the opportunity to receive them.

"The direct, hard to understand, subtle field of knowing, the Great Path, is non-conceptual (akalpana), and entirely beyond the grasp of intellectual thought. Divorced from verbal ideation, it is difficult to point out and as difficult to enquire into. It cannot be communicated through words and [therefore] is not within the scope of the neophyte (adikarmika). Nevertheless the path is to be approached through studying scriptures (sutra) of the World-Teacher and following the personal instructions (upadesa) of one's Guru-ji."

It's also in "An Introduction To The Practice Of Contemplation" and "The Cycle of Day and Night" (the commentary on it).
Although many individuals in this age appear to be merely indulging their worldy desires, one does not have the capacity to judge them, so it is best to train in pure vision.

He needs someone to keep an eye on him.

So true, keep getting in to trouble here.

Does anyone know where this practice originated from?

The original form of sky gazing come from the perfection of wisdom sutras.
But Namkhai arte is not just gazing at sky since it is connected with Dzogchen view.

So then it was adapted from the Prajnaparamita teachings using the Dzogchen view...interesting. Any idea of who first taught it in this context?
