This is no criticism but it is important to notice. Dzogchen is never aspirational. After the DI there is nothing left to do but study the original Dzogchen tantras. And yet there are all manner of 'Dzogchen' related activities to engage in when one gets involved with the DC. Is it necessary to point out that this is no different to any other respected buddhist organization?
But Dzogchen is different and one of the differences is the teacher/retinue dynamic.
I am afraid that you might have misunderstood the dynamic of Dzogchen practice a little. Recognizing the natural state doesn't imply any capacity at all to be able rest in the natural state at length and without a Guru and a Sangha you might never develop any capacity at all. What you are talking about is realization. It is certainly very uncommon, but certainly not impossible, that recognition and realization comes at the same time. If that always was the case there would only be one statement from Garab Dorje, right? If you feel you have realization you should approach your Guru and tell him that, it can be a very sobering experience.

/magnus
There are three sources of inspiration. The teacher, the Dzogchen tantras, the experience. All three are expressions of pure presence. One continues with the consequences of that pure presence. There is no realization to get or check. If there was then presence wouldn't be pure and there would't be a consequence.

Why? Because it lies beyond range." Sabba Sutta.

I certainly do not disagree with you about the virtues of Dzogchen, but feel that it does violence to the open and generous spirit of the practice, as it were, to belittle the teaching of the historical Buddha in the Suttas, be they in Paali or in competent translations. As for the difficulty of implementing the methods there ... well, let's say some of them ... nowadays, I find myself wondering whether we, in these decadent times, no longer breathe so that it becomes impracticable to be mindful of breathing and let that take one where it takes one, or whether we no longer stand, sit, lie down or walk, so that mindfulness of posture and of the body are enormously difficult to implement in these modern times. Have human beings stopped being production-lines for a range of sensations, emotions and thoughts, also natural material for mindfulness? Spending modest amounts of time being mindful is not something foreign to Dzogchen, and old-fashioned Suttic mindfulness can vry easily be integrated into the lives of people aspiring to practice Dzogchen. The practice of mindfulness, being rooted in everyday facets of life -- the natural process and rhythms of the breath, posture and changes in posture, sensations, emotions, thoughts which arise willy nilly and pass away -- is also good for the many people who have not found Dzogchen or are not attracted to it.

Suffering there certainly is, but no sufferer,
no doer, though certainly the deed is found.
peace is achieved, but no-one's appeased,
the way is walked, but no walker's to be found.

In Dzogchen the state of Rigpa "has" already the all qualities. So i'm not sure you are right. First one should recognize this Rigpa with all qualities. As I understand, after it Dzogchen practice starts. Before all is the preliminary Dzogchen practice only, as extraordinary Rushen or special Ati Guru Yoga, or even ordinary preliminary Ngondro of Dzogchen.

Are you sure you separate instant awareness (Rigpa) from Awareness, as in the last webcast said Namkhai Norbu? This process of separation is called in tibetan Rushen, and is only extraordinary preliminary practice of Dzogchen. If you are sure you really recognize Rigpa with all qualities, after it you continue real practice of Dzogchen as you wrote, not before.

The point is that there are human beings who are not receptive to dzogchen. Among this group there are people who have either been conditioned by secular humanism or have lost faith in religion for any number of reasons. In these cases mainstream Nikāya Buddhism has an advantage for turning the mind towards the dharma in that these teachings are more accessible via step-by-step investigation and analysis. Lamrim and lojong have similar advantages. There are authoritative teachers teaching within all of these traditions, and students who can attest to the utility and benefits of these practices. This isn't controversial -- there are teachers within dzogchen lineages who acknowledge these points as well.

Tashi delek,

Good reply. :applause:

Can fully agree that not every human being is receptive to dzogchen or ready for it.
Even after the DI there could be an eventual partly recognition, but seldom realisation.

The best prove for realisation is the Bardo State. Here one can prove the realisation of the visions, in case the subtle ignorance is overcome. Great Dzogchen Masters like Lopon Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche says that he has that subtle ignorance too. He says that this subtle ignorance has no beginning and is the reason for the migration into the 6 Realms.

Also very good that you mentioned Sutra as a step by step method to get from the zero start of total ignorance to more insight. It is not for nothing that the Buddhas did teach all those methods, otherwise they would have teached only Dzogchen as the only method.

Sure there are teachers within Dzogchen Lineages who acknowledge these points and i am following one of these Lineages. :anjali:

But the Buddhas did teached Sutra, Tantra and Dzogchen. Sutra and Tantra because not everybody can have an understanding about Dzogchen. But even in Sutra there is no knowledge about Tantra.

You don't have to separate. You just have the knowledge. You deal with the consequence of that. You are the consequence of that. There is no realization that arises as a result.

Hmmm, you know me better than me :smile: Are you writing on partial recognition, so called glympse?

BTW, the term separation (Rushen) is only pedagogical. You don't need take it there and take that out there.

Sally Gross wrote:There is one statement in this discussion in relation to which I agree with deepbluehum, but suspect that you will also agree with it. Samatha and vipassana should not be viewed in isolation from one another, at least from the perspective of the Buddha's teaching in the Suttas, but instead should be seen as two aspects of a unified system of practice, samatha-vipassana, in that they go hand-in-hand and cannot be divorced completely from one another in the path taught in the Suttas. The Buddha's description of mindfulness of breathing in the Anapanasati Sutta, for example, sketches out an integrated development of the practice which runs through jhaana, into insight and through to the ending of the fetters.
Yes, of course. (Already acknowledged here.)
Sally Gross wrote:All of this is invaluable for people seeking to practice Dzogchen. Something which my teacher, ChNNR, has been recommending lately is that people dedicate time to what Theravadins would call the practice of sati, simple straight-forward mindfulness in daily life -- being in the present and going about one's everyday activities with mindfulness -- integrating this into Dzogchen practice.
The path of self-liberation (rang grol lam) is largely a mindfulness based approach (although the mode of mindfulness is different than in causal vehicle paths). In chagchen and dzogchen teachings we find terms such as rang gsal gyi dran pa, gnyug ma'i dran pa, rang rig gi dran pa, and so on. Tsele Natsok Rangdröl, The Circle of the Sun:
  • The authentic great Kagyu masters took self-cognizant mindfulness as their practice, which is identical to the primordially pure self-awareness of the dzogchen system.
Mingyur Rinpoche explains the different modes of mindfulness as follows:
  • The single term “mindfulness,” or dran pa, in Tibetan, is something that, depending on the context, can have different connotations.... There is a kind of mindfulness that employs a theme or structure, someone being mindful of something, in a dualistic sense. And that is one valid form of mindfulness. There is also a mindfulness that doesn’t require that kind of structure.... And then in the dzogchen sense, to give a third level of interpretation to this term mindfulness, there is what is termed gnyug ma'i dran pa, which might literally be something like “genuine mindfulness” ... or rang rig dran pa, which is “self-aware mindfulness,” which is completely beyond that framework of subject and object.

Tashi delek,

Have some questions about the relationship between self-cognizant mindfulness and the primordially pure self-awareness used in Dzogchen.

About your statement here regarding self-cognizant mindfulness want to know from you in which sense is here mindfullness understood. Mindfullness do i know in Sutra as the Jina declared: Mindfulness in walking, sitting , lying down, etc. I mean here is object as well subject.

Self-cognizant is that Wisdom as self-emanating, meant by you?

Certainly rigpa have all the qualities from the beginning, it just don't last very long time. Dzogchen practice start the moment you get direct introduction and recognize the natural state, no matter what you are practicing at that time. You just integrate that recognition in whatever you do on the pillow or off the pillow. Realization, in Dzogchen, is when the mind (sem) lost it's grip on you.

Narrative is any story you tell yourself, about anything. Narrative is one of minds' organizing principles. It is what mind does to the information it is constantly gathering from the environment. Dzogchen practice goes beyond mind however. That is why narrative is a limitation.
