Rig pa is the recognition. When there is no recognition, there is no rig pa. There is instead ma rig pa, ignorance.cjb wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 11:59 pmMalcom,Malcolm wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 10:33 pmYour assertion that "awareness," by which I assume you mean the term "rig pa," is not something to be cultivated is completely mistaken. I am not sure where you learned this, but it is not a correct understanding. Rig pa is just a special kind of knowledge, that's all.
Thank you for clarifying.
I am not suggesting that familiarization with rig pa is not required, if that is what is meant here by cultivation. Only that rig pa is not created/modified/etc upon recognition of it,

Many times? For Pointing-Out Instructions? I'm not saying it's not true but I'm curious where else did I ask except for that one time? Just curious.
You can receive PO over and over again from many different teachers. That’s fine. Most useful would be to use the methods given to give yourself PO over and over again every day.

Reread cbj's quote: he did not say you asked many times, he said you asked HOW many times.Nalanda wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 2:06 am
Yeah I understood that part. Thanks.
I'm just replying to CBJ's claim that I asked "many times" about "pointing-out instructions" and "direct instructions" something I don't believe I did. But if I did, I'd like to know where so I could review the replies.
Did i ask frequently or did I ask if its to be received frequently? either case, i didn't.
Oh I see, well, I've seen you post in many threads. You ask a lot of questions. I couldn't say exactly how many times generally, but something sparked me to brave Malcom's inevitable (and welcome) reply and make sure you knew that you have options that are very accessible from a lovely, qualified teacher.

The content of my post was specifically referring to the quote in this thread.
Like I said, I hope it wasn't out of line and was helpful.
No criticism of you in any way.

Did the presiding master mention any samaya commitments during the teachings? Sometimes they do, sometimes not.
One of the more qualified teachers or posters may post a satisfying answer, but I think this is also a good question to email Abhaya Fellowship and try to ask Chakung Rinpoche/his organization directly. Direct guidance on keeping samaya is usually best.

That would not surprise me at all.Archie2009 wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 10:45 pmI think I heard something very similar in a Lama Lena video I watched out of curiosity on YouTube once, but I can't speak for cjb, of course.Malcolm wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 10:33 pmYour assertion that "awareness," by which I assume you mean the term "rig pa," is not something to be cultivated is completely mistaken.
