Dharma Wheel

Dear all and All, What a crying shame that Elio is gone. I had written to him last August on the importance of the N95 mask. "Hi Elio - Very glad to see the planned Chec retreat schedule. This will help many people become more stable in integration with contemplation. If you allow the retreat to be ...

One’s nature is individual in a conventional sense, because the individual is likewise conventional. In the actuality of the way things really are there is not any individuality, because entities cannot be established, but this does not mean there is some other ultimate substance that everything is...

no problem for asking. when I say that I cannot travel I mean that right now I have no car and I have few money , just that ........unfortunately. thanks for the answer. Dear all, https://dharmasun.org/courses/38th-annual-fall-seminar-online/ Note that the first three days are free. I believe that ...

No more Webcast. There are Dzogchen teachers who do webcasts, podcasts and various other multi-media teachings. Books are only way to deepen knowledge for now. ...or teachings from a qualified living teacher. :good: Good post and good posts all. Again, this sort of question is best asked of your te...

If Gzhon nu Dpa’ bo stobs ldan is teaching a retinue (which includes Vajrapani) that is merely an emanation of his own pristine consciousness, then when this buddha sees the appearances of six realms of samsara it must be the case that the beings in each realm must also be emanations of his pristin...

I remember Rinpoche said Ayu Khandro could see in the dark. How does one develop this ability? Does it have to do with unlocking the visions? If so, which vision? Thank you. To be able of Awareness in the Dark Room is a method used in Dzogchen. The Darkness is here the medium, another medium would ...

Chagdud rinpoche gained this ability during his first 3-year retreat. You can read about that in the book Lord of the dance. My 2 cents is that anyone can gain this ability by completing the practice. It goes with the territory and is nothing special. Chagdud Rinpoche was a very kindly Mahasiddha w...

is any amount of dark practice advisable without specific transmission? i seem to recall someone here preparing for a weekend or so? Very good question. Probably depends on the individual. If in someones past life they were Ayu Khandro perhaps there is no problem. Always better to have a specific t...

Also true and helpful.

While the transmission of the Dark Retreat is currently unavailable within the Dzogchen Community, ...

Straight from the horse's mouth: http://www.jonangfoundation.org/views-practices Tashi delek, Thanks for posting. Yeh Emptiness as negation or Emptiness as creation that would be then the case here. Emptiness as a more creative factor is very close to Dzogchen Nature, if i understood Shentong well....

My personal feeling is that "Rime" is not an institution, nor is it really a separate lineage of practice, so it should be covered under the general TB forum. As a movement, in the 19th Century, it arose due to very specific sectarian issues. In particular, it was largely started and encouraged by ...

What are the requirements to be able to read the Precious Vase? I want to use it to get into the preliminaries in a deeper sense. After the Tsog tonight, I asked Adriano Clemente what were the requirements to be able to read the "Precocious Vase." He stated, "Sincere interest." I then specifically ...

Technically speaking it has the general tibetan buddhism section, soo... Perhaps Dzogchen is the same as Rime, because not having any capacity of description makes it beyond any partiality what-so-ever. One taste means one taste, but Dzogchen never claims even this, as it doesn't have the capacity ...

Hi dear Dharma brothers/sisters. Well I have a concrete question about the Practice and it is about the color of the mantra that circles around the seed syllable while doing Anuyoga transformation. I have this doubt because I never heard Rinpoche saying anything about the color of the mantra so, I'...

There is a new schedule until the 4th Nov. It's been sent in Italian so I'm sure the other languages will follow. 5pm Merigar practuce today usual. from 29 Oct to Nov 4 Webcast Practices from Merigar West all times are (GMT+1:00) [*notice time change in europe] practices will continue as follows: M...

Are the webcasts over for now? I had heard mid November, but that is subject to change. The Merigar region is subject to very heavy rain and wind storms for a few days and this may disrupt transmission. Perhaps somewhere Dzogchen Masters are always transmitting and perhaps somewhere Dzogchen practi...

I'll third this with the caveat that Khenpo Palden Sherab, was a wellspring of knowledge, wisdom and kindness. He is missed. I would trust anything he writes about Dharma and Dzogchen and you are very fortunate to find anything written by him. Khenpola is one of the only Lamas who, when asked to exp...
