Dzogchen – whether you waste it or keep it properly is up to you

13th December 2020

Generally, Dzogchen nowadays seems to be brought down to an easy way, but in our tradition, long before, this was the hardest to understand and study. So in our school, for example, in the monastery, it is the last subject we teach; when everybody is set up and has enough knowledge – then they are ready to be taught Dzogchen. But nowadays it looks as if it’s brought down to a very easy way. Everybody thinks and says – I myself have heard this, too – ‘look to the mind and how it is thinking. If you look there, you…

Boundless Compassion

11th October 2020

Homage to the Master! This morning Yongdzin Rinpoche received his copies of The Four Samayas of Dzogchen and Thirteen Points of Tantra and Tsewang Mönlam thanks to Largen Lama who brought them from France.  Here Rinpoche is holding the book open at the page with his own photo, taken by Dmitry back in 1996 at Triten Norbutse.

Integrating with the Natural State

29th August 2020

“It is very important to integrate with the Natural State as much as you could, to concentrate and keep in your Natural State. Practise Guru Yoga at least once a day, in the morning.

My advice is this: try to concentrate with the Natural State every day. That helps during this life and the next life. It can be helpful until you…

Mensaje de Consejos desde Yongdzin Rinpoche a sus estudiantes occidentales

14th August 2020

Gurú Yoga es muy importante para las personas que son practicantes. No esperes ver u oír algo como resultado de practicar Gurú Yoga, pero cuando practicas Gurú Yoga como lo haces normalmente con Tapihritsa o lo que normalmente visualizas – no cambies tu visualización demasiado rápido de una divinidad a otra – es muy importante practicar regularmente y visualizar con claridad. Es importante que tu práctica con Gurú Yoga sea pura, y que creas y tengas devoción. Es muy necesario tener esto en cuenta y confiar. Creer. Siempre es necesario tener esto en tu mente, regularmente.
