Tummo is simply awareness in the subnavel region, plus mulabhanda and finally kumbhaka (holding your breath). Its really not complicated. Consort practice is the above PLUS penis in vagina.

Do such things exist?

no just in general

Are you talking about a fictional Disney movie?

Can someone give me a real answer?

I read some of that. What is the METHOD to become a taoist immortal?

Is there any reliable info on taoist immortals? I have been trying to find some for years.

Oops misspelled something. It should have been Gaudapada.

Good talk on the history of Hinduism.

This is my understanding of Dzogchen. If you understand Dzogchen completely, you automatically understand the entirety of buddhism completely, atleast from the Mahayana viewpoint. Also, you cannot combine Dzogchen with any other system except hatha and pranayama. First thing in Dzogchen is to repeat the following. You cannot skip this. "I go for refuge to the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. By the merit I primordially have by abiding in the natural state, may I attain perfect Buddhahood to benefit infinite sentient beings." Rigpa has two main wisdoms, Kadag and lhun grub. There is also a third wisdom, thugs rje (compassion), which is merely the inseparability of the other two. Kadag (primordial purity) is simply how the highest Dzogchen view talks about emptiness. Lhun grub (natural formation) is simply how Dzogchen talks about dependent origination. And of course throughout Mahayana, emptiness and dependent origination are two sides of the same coin. This is why I said earlier that if you understand Dzogchen, you understand buddhism. The lhun grub aspect of rigpa should be ignored by everyone here. This has to do with secretive esoteric yogas that self-liberate the dependently originated human body into the Sambhogakaya. The symbol of Dzogchen is a Tibetan A wrapped in a rainbow thigle (google images "thigle"). The A represents kadag while the thigle represents lhun grub. Ok so in Dzogchen, the fundamental point of the natural state/nonduality or what many of you call enlightenment is to distinguish rigpa from sems (mind). The distinguishing of rigpa and sems from each other is emphasized by Jigme Lingpa and goes back to the Seventeen Tantras. Dzogchen is the only teaching that uses rigpa as the basis of the path. Other teachings take mind as the basis of the path. The mind ITSELF is considered an obscuration in Dzogchen. The Dalai Lama tries to reconcile Dzogchen with other buddhist teachings by sometimes considering rigpa an aspect of subtle mind, but this should be considered in context.

For a non-buddhist you sure seem desperate to proclaim your superiority over buddhist authorities. I know you already said that Vajrahridaya is more knowledgeable than the Dalai Lama, but then later in the thread you called him "crazy" and "insane" Stick to getting banned.

I never reported anyone. I logged back in after this happened. Mod can confirm. EPIC FAIL And thats news to me that I got goldisheavy banned. Goldisheavy got banned way early in that thread because he was insulting Vortex. A lot of people had problems with his behavior. I never reported him. Vortex was the main guy he had a problem with, not me. EPIC FAIL You really do like to ride my ass don't you? You started on page 1 and continued till page 14. LEAVE ME ALONE. Why don't you understand such a simple concept?

That someone was an recognized buddhist teacher. Similar comments pepper the entire thread

Then why are you trying to pass your thinking as authentic buddhism. Yes you. EPIC FAIL

Thats fine, but DON'T PASS IT OFF AS AUTHENTIC BUDDHISM. EPIC FAIL I don't understand why its so difficult for you to understand.

There is a middle ground. Talk about your personal experiences/opinion, but DO NOT PASS IT OFF AS AUTHENTIC BUDDHISM

I forgot to add you to the list. You are the most clueless of them all.

Wait a minute I forgot. You guys are not a cancer, because cancer is at least successful at what it does. You guys have been proven outright wrong or lieing about everything that comes forth from your fingertips, and have been called out by even other people.

I believe I said that after someone insulted me, so again EPIC FAIL You are a cancer on this forum, along with dwai, Styro, goldisheavy, Vaj, 3bob etc.

Only fools talk about their experential understanding when discussing buddhism, especially on internet forums. EPIC FAIL Learn some humility.

Nobody understands that sutrayana, vajrayana, and Dzogchen have similar views of emptiness. It is other elements that make them different. EPIC FAIL

EPIC FAIL
