    There is no need to "feel any special connection". And don't lump Dzogchen in with your " primordial/guru paths."

    Stop forcing your views onto Dzogchen. All that is required of a Vajrayana/Dzogchen teacher is authentic lineage.

    Its not confusing at all. There is the nature of the mind, which is inseparable clarity and emptiness. This is the mirror-like clarity which conversely cannot be found. There are various terms that refer to this. Then in Mennagde, you have the basis (gzhi), which is the five pure lights. Everything is actually the five pure lights, but since we are deluded, we don't see that.

    You guys are struggling over what trekcho is, but I already gave the technical definition several times. Its the knowledge of the instant of unfabricated freshness (ma bcos shes pa skad gcig ma), which is distinguished from the conceptualizing mind.

    We have dream yoga. ChNN has a book in 2 editions on this. Again, the book is for those with transmission.

  15. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    In Buddhism and Dzogchen, transmission is not dependent on the teacher's realization. Its not mystical like that.

  16. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    So we Dzogchenpas have to change our tradition to fit your messed up New Age views?

  17. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    Right, but this is again something for those who already had transmission from a guru.

  18. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    The books you read are translated poorly Why not read the best book of ChNN? Its called "Dzogchen Teachings".

  19. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    And? Pero is right. You can't get transmission from a replay. These are the rules of Dzogchen Community.

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    You can keep asking this but you won't get an answer. Because it has to do with secret stuff.

    This is guru yoga in Dzogchen. The white Tibetan letter A is a symbol for trekcho.

    Now you are just losing me.

  23. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    Guru yoga in Dzogchen is the tibetan letter A surrounded by a thigle. 'A' is merely a symbol for kadag i.e. trekcho.
