Re: Tapihritsa Guruyoga

I attended a teaching for GY of Tapihritsa years ago by TWR. This is sufficient to practice it. I don’t remember if there was a lung or what. Do people typically get a lung for this practice in Bön, and can one use any practice, such as the one in Vajranathas books? The one I remember was very simp...

Re: Drenpa's Proclamation, the Rise and Decline of the Bön Religion in Tibet by Per Kvaerne and Dan Martin

The 3 Drenpa Namkhas buffles me completely. I do not know anything about the first one. The first one is an ancient siddha-like figure of whom practically nothing is known except that he is associated with a proto-Dzogchen cycle. He is said to have lived in Tazik. The 2nd is supposed to be his inca...

Yes, August, 2020. But since I'm an unbridled egotist and I am catching up on my Dzogchen practice I decided to post it anyway.

Re: Differences between Red Garuda and Takla Mebar yidam practice

I like to answer but I do not really understand your question....

If you'll read the prayers in the sadhanas you'll find slightly differences.
F.e.: "protect me from this..." or "please do that and give blessings for to reach...." etc..

Re: Clear Light, Central Channel and Dzogchen Rigpa

See the Dalai Lama’s two books in English on Dzogchen, for teachings specifically about this. I only know "Dzogchen, The Heart Essence of the Great Perfection" what is the 2nd one?!? This one: https://www.namsebangdzo.com/Mind-in-Comfort-and-Ease-p/14944.htm :thanks: :anjali:

The 3 Drenpa Namkhas buffles me completely. I do not know anything about the first one. Sometimes the 2nd is the blue one with svastika and kapala, sometimes it is the 3rd one. :shrug: But where can I find a thangka of the first one?

Re: Purification of the Five Elements

Has anybody ever used the Five Elements for mental and or physical healing? If so how did it go? How is it the same and how does it differ from doing Vajrasattva practice? It differs in the method and maybe a little in the effect. Vajrasatva meditation is not used for healing in the first place. Th...
