Small Problem with DC Webcasts
Posted: Sun Jun 17, 2012 9:30 pm
I don't mind watching the webcasts by the Dzogchen instructor but I'm trying to understand what he is saying.

You should read his book "The Crystal and the Way of Light". It'll provide the context to help you understand what he's saying.Wesley1982 wrote:I don't mind watching the webcasts by the Dzogchen instructor but I'm trying to understand what he is saying.
Everything he's saying is in english (just with an accent), except for the lungs he gives for the certain practices which are in tibetan (and are the mantras for the practice), during those just be present, they are transmissions to do those practices.Wesley1982 wrote:Yes, I can hear a small volume with a hearing aid.

I can watch the DC webcasts but generally need a modern English "translation."
That's not how the hearing problem works.asunthatneversets wrote:Everything he's saying is in english (just with an accent), except for the lungs he gives for the certain practices which are in tibetan (and are the mantras for the practice), during those just be present, they are transmissions to do those practices.Wesley1982 wrote:Yes, I can hear a small volume with a hearing aid.

Some of the terminology he uses is also in the context of the teaching he's giving, and can be hard to decipher if you're not familiar with the full spectrum of practices and yānas. The more you listen the easier it will become to understand.
Oh ok, I didn't realize you were talking about the hearing issue, my little brother has the same type of thing, he usually lip reads to supplement his listening so I know how that goes. I'm not sure what the best option for that would be during live webcasts but if you're a member of the community I know there's access to archived video so you could go back and re-listen part by part. There may be transcriptions too, I'm not really sure.Wesley1982 wrote:That's not how the hearing problem works.asunthatneversets wrote:Everything he's saying is in english (just with an accent), except for the lungs he gives for the certain practices which are in tibetan (and are the mantras for the practice), during those just be present, they are transmissions to do those practices.Wesley1982 wrote:Yes, I can hear a small volume with a hearing aid.

I hear the voices and sounds but what is being said is not clear - so deciphering is involved in what the other person is saying.

On another thread you were claiming that ChNNR seems to be led along by others with regard to finances, and here you are grinding the same axe again.oldbob wrote:
Hi Wesley, all and All,
I have the same problem. It is a very complex issue involving not just sound quality but money and politics.
My strongly held personal conviction is that the current business plan of the Dzogchen community could be improved by making high quality streaming and down-loadable replays (same quality as in those of HHDL) available to the DC.
The increased costs of the improved quality (if any) would be more than made up for by the huge increase in membership in the Dzogchen Community, that would occur if easier access to the teachings were allowed.

Communicate what you receive from a legitimate Dzogchen instructor here at Dharma Wheel (If that's ok with them)Pero wrote:Wesley1982 wrote:The best solution for the "hearing problem" in the dzogchen webcast transmissions is to simply relay the teachings.
