Re: The Dao of Politics and ideology
Anyway, Pero is right. I would much rather not talk about this guy, and I'm sorry i brought it up. I'd be happy if someone would close this thread, it's a total headache. Don't think you need to be sorry, the point of your OP is valid. It's not your fault a lot of the thread kind of talked around i...

Re: The Dao of Politics and ideology
Maybe not, it just seemed to me the common example of someone chastising others for "being political" in a way that's not very constructive. Something people (I think) do out of frustration. I understand but I took it more as "chastisment" of getting overly attached to ones preferences. IDK, I didn...

The context for those statements was that he kept seeing people online getting all up in arms about politics and specifically when he posted a funny meme about Trump got messages about it from Trump's supporters and when he posted a funny meme about Biden he got messages from Biden's supporters pro...

Re: The Dao of Politics and ideology
So, if your Daoist person was truly apolitical (I've met a few Lamas that fit this bill I think), then he wouldn't feel a need to comment in the first place, because he has just renounced the deal. The context for those statements was that he kept seeing people online getting all up in arms about p...

Re: TODAY at 4 pm pacific time - Transmission of Dzogchen Texts - Vajrayana Foundation
Was the liturgy part of the lung? I thought it was separate (and not given).
Re: Field
So, define what “energy field” means in this context. Is it like a fart? :roll: Anyway, there are different kinds of fields, Wei Qi field is one of them but I don't believe it has any relation to meditative practice (at least in the OP's sense) since as far as I understand it's there to prevent pat...
Re: Field
This "notion" exists in Zen and Daoism. IMO it exists in Tibetan Buddhism also but is not really explained.
In any case I don't think this means one could just practice instead of someone else.

Re: Namkhai Norbu lineage
"Our teachings" are not dead as long as we live. After that however if no one gives transmissions they will die out. But this goes mainly for teachings specific to DC, such as Longsal, SMS, Yantra Yoga and Vajra Dance, sadhanas that Rinpoche composed and termas of Khenytse Chokyi Wangchug. All other...

Re: Practicing dzogchen without tantric vows? Do i need them?
It's pretty simple. When I asked Him, Norbu Rinpoche told me years ago that if you're in your primordial state then there are no samayas but if you aren't there are.

Re: Dzogchen Community of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
But there are a lot of people in the DC that been teaching for decades and "lung" is normally not something requiring that the person giving it is fully realised. There are also other masters that can give direct introduction. So it all comes down to the Longsal teachings. If you have taken on a po...

Re: Dagpo Kagyu empowerments
Everyone should read Sapan’s three vows and his Clarifying the Muni’s Intent, even if it pisses them off. He raises excellent questions, and was an amazing scholar and practitioner. He was also the product of a particular era in Tibetan history, and it shows. I found it very difficult to disagree w...

Not sure if this is real or not haha but while disrespectful you're not going to hell for this. To do that you'd have to do one of the following: Intentionally murdering one's father. Intentionally murdering one's mother. Killing an Arhat (fully enlightened being). Shedding the blood of a Buddha. Cr...

Oppositional personality disorder. I'm actually not sure if you're maybe joking but for some reason I can totally imagine it. :smile: Frankly, school bored me to tears.
