Dharma Wheel

What are the prerequisites and commitments for this empowerment? Also, is there anywhere that I can learn more about this form of Padmasambhava?

Is the reason for this conflict known?

My two cents:

A teacher is indispensable in Vajrayana. Don't worry about traditions and schools. Find a teacher you can trust implicitly and the rest will fall into place.

YMMV.

DYING IN THE STATE OF GURUYOGA Chögyal Namkhai Norbu The Practice of the Night When you die, it is just as if you are falling asleep. When you go to sleep, you are doing visualization of white A in a thigle. You are being in that clarity. In the same way, you are being in that state of Guruyoga whe...

Has Rosa said anything publicly about the future of the DC?

I am planning on doing a Dorje Kotrab retreat before the year ends. Would really appreciate any advice/best practices from anyone who has completed this retreat. Please drop me a PM if you'd like to share your experiences and advice.

Much thanks in advance!

I don't know about you guys, but reading the whole Q&A was really depressing.

DC members should have received this email sometime last week. Not sure how much we'll be able to find out but it's worth a shot, I guess? I don't think it's appropriate for me to share the link to the Google Form here but if you're a DC member and need the link, PM me. Dear members of the Dzogchen ...

Thanks, Javier.

What's a good DC practice to do before moving into a new house? I was thinking of doing a Sang and Ganapuja at the new place before I start shifting my stuff over. That should cover everything, right?

Could you elaborate on the specifics of what they spoke how? Did they give any indication of just how bad things are going to get?

Has Rinpoche ever mentioned who the guardians in the African continent are?

Joe, a personal friend, is not qualified to give such advice. You would need to contact Dr. Phuntsog Wangmo, Or some other Tibetan physician for guidance. As fir myself, I have discontinued seeing patients. Thank you, Loppon. I'll contact Dr Phuntsog as you've suggested. Is Agar 35 something that i...

Siddhi Energetics is directed by Joe Wagner. He is a Nyingma practitioner and a very nice individual (also quite knowledgeable in the field of tibetan medical products, etc.). His Siddhi Energetics and his sister site "Futre Alchemy" are totally trustworthy. Thanks, mutsuk. Think I'll try to get in...

I've been battling chronic insomnia for more than a month, averaging about 2-3 hours of sleep per night. I was recently prescribed Ambien but I'm a bit worried about taking it due to my previous history with substance abuse. Instead I'm thinking of trying Agar 35 as recommended by ChNNR. I've pretty...

We will never see a teacher like ChNNR again. The Marme Monlam reminds us that we are connected to Rinpoche and each other till enlightenment. We will see him over and over and over again. We are part of the mandala. The DC will still be around as long as people still come together to do the collec...

We are now in a different situation and have to take full responsibility for ourselves. After Rinpoche passed away some people were upset or shocked and asked who would be his successor now. This idea is not good from the beginning. If we have a worldly business or organization, then we need a succ...

Her latest videos on the Three Statements of Garab Dorje are amazing ...

Just going by my interests when I was younger.

Can confirm, was once young. Though, drugs and alcohol in my younger years eventually lead me to (re)establish a connection with Dharma in my latter years.
