Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle

my goodness, mutsuk. you are invaluable 🤝 i wonder if these instructions is an oral tradition written down by Khenpo Karma Ratna? i don't have rigpe tsel wang and tregcho texts are restricted for me, so could you perhaps elaborate what is different in the Karma Ratna presentation and of what import ...

Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle

..its either rare teacher who will teach something in full, or sangha is tightly closed. We should try to get to inner circle of teachers we like and trust. I think its best chance. Or have many teachers. there is also the option of requesting a desired teaching and guidance from a teacher. teacher...

Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle

the teacher is much more important than the cycle. very true. my issue though is that it's easier for me to have confidence in the path when the cycle is complete. let's take your case for example: you received the empowerment from one Rinpoche, but are now receiving actual practice instructions fr...

Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle

W30345 which has supplemental material; and W23997 which is the root-terma). mutsuk, thank you again for your time and efforts to look into those texts. I guess Mingyur Dorje will certainly use sources from other cycles if he plans to teach Thögel at one point. i guess as much, but since there are ...

Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle

Everyone can take a look at this.https://hk.tergarasia.org/event/dorjedroloeng.pdf Looking at the Retreat Manual for Kamtsang DrupDra, written by Bokar Rinpoche, it looks like there are progressive stages going through the roots...not so much stand-alone sadhanas, but sections that are emphasized o...

Re: Personal account of Shine

The rhetorical trick of saying “so you disagree with Big Name Teacher” is one we should only use very carefully. wasn't a trick, was just a straight up question. i didn't know you disagree with Big Name Teacher, but you did answer that in your own way, thanks. In this case, you didn’t know him, you...

Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle

In this 5 root practice what would mean enlightened activity of Dakini Mandarava? She is usually connected to longevity practices, would it same be here? i don't know. that would highly likely be the case, but if we only do accomplishment for Dorje Drolö and we don't do accomplishment for each of t...

Students who did both fully are the ones who work hard. Its not like smaller sanghas where teacher know every...

Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle

He just said in 3rd year while teaching dzogchen part of cycle, he will just teach trekcho and not togal. well ,thats a bummer if he has no intention to teach thogal.. perhaps there will fourth year some time later for thogal? You are correct in ultimate sense and if teachers knows his students to ...

Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle

At least there is possibility, and not just a carrot. well i didn't hear Rinpoche's reply during the zoom chat. did he explicitly say he won't teach thogal of the cycle? or just that he has no current plans to look that far into the future? Like i sid above I did not say he teaches bare bones, but ...

Re: Dzogchen practice in Dorje Drolo cycle

If/when Mingyur Rinpoche teaches those practices in the future, completion of the ngondro track will be required. a good note to those who say Mingyur Rinpoche teach dzogchen without ngondro.. I really really hope he would open up and teach complete Dorje Drolo cycle and not just bare bones. well h...

Today was Wisdom Dharma Chat with Mingyur Rinpoche, and he answered many Dorje Drolo questions. bummer. i didn't know about the event. could one ask him question directly? - Dzogchen part has both trekcho and togal part, but Mingyur Ri...

dude, you can have it your way anytime. i dunno what sources you base your opinion on, but i don't think our bickering about these things here means a lot. It's not prerequisite to Mahamudra. Some practice it in Kagyu, most don't. I know Tilopa through Rechungpa did. It's mentioned in Ganga Mahamudr...
