Jnana, what do you mean exactly with "that many of the tangents that have been argued at length on the Dzogchen sub-forum lately are hypotheticals with little or no substance" ?Jnana wrote:For what it's worth, I generally either agree with much of what Malcolm has to say on dzogchen or have no opinion on it one way or another. But to assert that he is "speaking from the point of view of the Dzogchen tantras and this is the caveat" implies that his opinions are more valid and authoritative than those of dzogchen teachers who present dzogchen within the terma framework of ngöndro, three root practices, and so on. I don't see any good reason to accept his opinions as more valid than those of others, and it seems to me that many of the tangents that have been argued at length on the Dzogchen sub-forum lately are hypotheticals with little or no substance.Mr. G wrote:Jnana, what views do you think differ from the Dzogchen tantras?
