  1. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    Since you can't name a single name either, I call b.s.

  2. Favourite Buddhist Books

    RongzomFan replied to Seth Ananda's topic in Buddhist Textual Studies

    Do not read these books.

  3. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    Right they are instructions for those with transmission. Not you.

    "A Dzogchen Master STARTS with "direct introduction" with everyone. If they don't "get it" then one starts to use all the infinite methods and means to help bring about the experience of Rigpa." ——Dudjom Rinpoche on the Three Statements of Garab Dorje

    Who are these many gurus? Name names, or I call b.s.

    Now you are resorting to abject falsehoods. This quote is right on the page for transmissions, including the schedule. http://tsegyalgar.org/theteachings/worldwidetransmissions/ :excl: Right, those methods are for those who have transmission......There are an infinite amount of methods for those with tranmission. :excl:

    I think its insulting to insinuate Dzogchen has resemblances to vague New Age platitudes about energy and light.

    In the end Jeff said "I am sorry, but Feeling with the heart is not a technique that can be taught." Along with his previous statement "Feeling with the heart is very hard to describe with words", I conclude he is full of shit.

    Teach me how to reside or feel with the heart.

  10. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    Gnostic Christianity is biggest load of shit ever. Its totally incompatible with basic Madhyamaka, let alone Dzogchen. And yes I looked into it, so I am not just making some kind of uninformed speculation.

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    The instant of unfabricated presence is distinguished from the conceptualizing mind.

  12. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    What are those 3 "primordial paths"?

  13. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    But is that what you are talking about regarding feeling with the heart?

  14. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    Well even Zen people recognize the "instant of unfabricated 'awareness' (ma bcos shes pa skad gcig ma)". But I wouldn't give a shit what Zen people say.

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    I have a weird sense of humor.

  16. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    Are you talking about recognizing the instant of unfabricated 'awareness' (ma bcos shes pa skad gcig ma), which is distinguished from the conceptualizing mind? In trekcho, we have precise terms for everything.

  17. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    Go ahead and reject White. Doesn't mean your New Age stuff is correct.

  18. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    I also cited Dr. David Gordon White, a top academic. But anyway to the point: Question to Malcolm: Third question, is there any relation between the so-called energy field that the new agey people talk about and the energy that Dzogchen talks about? Answer by Malcolm: Yes and no. Yes, in the sense that the energy that new age folks are talking about is what we call "rlung", vāyu or "wind energy". No, because they do not understand this point at all.

    1. Jeff what do you feel with your heart? 2. How do you feel with your heart? 3. if its all about feeling, why do you use visual terms such as light?

  21. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    I'm sure you are surprised. Are there any Buddhists even on this forum? Has anyone even studied basic Madhyamaka up on here? Not that Madhyamaka is required for Dzogchen, but it seems like we are talking more about Buddhism than Dzogchen.

  22. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    Yes they actually are. If you think they are not, thats a big problem.

  23. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    The jhana states are contrived and conceptual. The jhana states are just the product of the mind. Vajrayana cuts off the mind itself at the root, by stilling the winds through kumbhaka for example.

  24. Introduction to Dzogchen Retreat with B Alan Wallace

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    The nature of the mind is the same in all three.

    RongzomFan replied to konchog uma's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    I understand your point about taking everything onto the path. This is Vajrayana 101. That doesn't mean you go waste your time on useless practices.
