I've read you write this twice now. I don't care.

Oh

There's no uncommon psychic power. Those are the words you are putting in my mouth. Your problem is you assume you know what I know. Or at least you figure you've climb the mountain far enough to look down on Dzogchen. But perhaps, it ain't so. Samaya gya gya gya. That means "Covenant of Secrecy Secrecy Secrecy". Dzogchen must be discovered within. There can be a path and a map, but not a description of the destination. I might consider a Skype. The point is I need to see sincerity. I'm not confused or unhappy, thanks to my gurus who showed me nirvana. And don't hold your breath. I would never ask you for any thing.

Dzogchen separates the mind from wisdom.

I don't play Wittgensteinian category games.

BTW, for those who have an interest in Dzogchen, the teaching and introduction are very simple. The method taught is the actual teacher. Thus, the teacher's act is not a measure. People generally come to Dzogchen after having signs in dreams and other interdependent signs. It is a self-exclusive club. We don't give invitations and we don't proselytize. In fact, it is discouraged for people to join. HH the Dalai Lama says you should stay with your own tradition. Unless someone has a yearning devotion to lineage, there's no reason to teach these methods. No one comes to Dzogchen without having a seriously long past life history with it. It's usually way too much for folks. Why? It's completely beyond the mind

It would be if it were a place for Dzogchen practitioners to discuss Dzogchen issues with Dzogchen practitioners. Instead it is a place for all-comers to intervene in a sincere request for explanations to post statements that denigrate Dzogchen. I would throw rocks if I could. At this point, I'm throwing rocks. There was a guy who came to our center and wanted to question everyone and offer his opinions about everyone, until it finally degenerated into him telling us Kali wants to cut off our heads. The response was to tell him, sorry, we have no time for you, as we opened the front door for him to go as my teacher laughed his ass off at him. My teacher is a mahasiddha. He's laughed at me too. He's called me a liar. Don't expect ordinary courtesy from someone who rests in the natural state. Expect the truth. If there is a Dzogchen practitioner with a teacher I can tell her/him all manner of stuff. If there is someone interested in Dzogchen and interested in general terminology, I can provide some basic terms. Most of the basic terms are shared among Mahayana. So there's not much danger there. All our Dzogchen teachers say do not debate Dzogchen, especially with people from other traditions. We are to respect other traditions and not criticize them. I have never criticized the Hindu Advaita. I have training in that from a little boy by my grandfather, Puri Baba Ji. I know this tradition very well. I respect it very much. I won't be venturing into that thread to play saboteur or semantic wrestling. The tantra tradition is not about being warm and fluffy all the time. We can get aggressive when necessary. We protect this. For me, it's better for you to think I'm some bad guy and don't like me or my teachers than to denigrate the teachings or even to act like you already know what this is about.

That's right. Fighting for the rights of Americans since 2003.

Don't put words in my mouth. I said those are common siddhis. The uncommon, the ultimate siddhi, is contemplation, the realization of Mahamudra/Dzogchen. The first rule of Dzogchen is we don't talk about Dzogchen. Dzogchen cannot be taught, so why do teachers spend hours and hours giving teachings? Because they show you how to be in that nature with methods, namely, direct introduction. Anyone who has sat through a retreat with Choegyal Namkhai Norbu knows that. It is the definition of liberation, not a scam. When are you going to stop being a little pest?

Because creativity has nothing to do with setting the preconditions for factual assertion. Facts come from other facts.

How would I know what you consider?

Right. Right. Right. Correct. On the money.

You obviously have no idea what constitutes a foundation.

My teachers said I know Mahamudra, Dzogchen. If no one wants it from me, then no one gets it. I'm fine with that. In Buddhism, the teacher doesn't have to be a realized being as long as you get the teaching from someone with a lineage. Then, the blessings flow to you and you can be realized yourself even if your teacher is not.

No.

LOL. I'm a lawyer! Of course I know what it means.

Wow you're slow too. I can give transmission.

Wow you must be pretty old. You'll have to show me your supplements.

It's not jumping to a conclusion when you already admitted it.

I got my big boy pants on.

So you come to a Buddhist thread to harass Buddhists. Good one. You're an asshole.

Congratulations!

No one I suppose. But my teacher's insist on meeting in person, because that's what it takes to become connected to the blessings.

No. He's not. He's saying semantical games. They are not substantive or insightful in the least. He's a damn crashing bore of amateur.

How about won't? You know why? Because I don't give a shit about what you have to say. So why do you keep trying to shove your shit down my throat when I don't respect it?
