Does his meaning coincide with what is meant by the term as translated by Tibetan Buddhists? I dont think te uses the term (havent seen the video in a while) b...

In Shingon, they don't have ritualistic intercourse nor the use of the mother and father tantras. Rather, they are more Mahayana, but more ritualistic. Shingon are more of a beginner version of Tibetan tantra, except no 8 offerings, no emptiness mantras, and so on. Even in advanced stages, there is...

How does dissolution work in anu yoga practices? For example if i want to do a simple deity practice, i do Ati Gy, then invocation, self visualizstion and mantra and when im done i just drop everything or is there some sort of dissolution?

Yeo, there has been a new post by DK which will probably add 12 more pages to this group

I find that different teachers explain this practice in different ways which can be confusing in the beginning. The best is to follow you teachers advice and not over think it. The most important thing is to recognize that presence of mind and allow for it to come foward

There are many teachera that teach the four aplications of mindfullnes like tsoknyi rimpoche and alan wallace. I dont see why you couldnt practice both with more or leaa enfasis in one or the other. A stable balances mins is helpfull for every higher practice

Pure/Impure Vision is a Vajrayana thing, and it strikes me as an incongruent model as far as the Dzogchen view goes as taught by ChNN. That would be interesting. I hadn't thought about it that way before, but I guess perhaps it makes sense. Impure vision is trekchö; pure vision is thögal. However, ...
