Wow dude that was sooo clear, the translator did an amazing job and the dalai lama has such a clear understanding of it that he could lay it out that simply and clearly for everyone to follow easily. Such a great kind being :)
This is a very succinct and precise teaching on the path to enlightenment, comprehensive, and one only needs to find the references, the texts referred to study, and one would have a good method to pursue, hopefully with an exemplary teacher to guide them. Congratulations to the outstanding translator. NJ
HIS HOLINESS THE 14TH DALAI LAMA GIVES PRECIOUS TEACHINGS BUT MANY PERSONS DON’T SPEAK ENGLISH. A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HIS HOLINESS SAYS AND PUT IT INTO PRACTICE. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO TRANSLATE IN OTHER LANGUAGES HIS HOLINESS TEACHINGS.
Perfect. For the last five days I have been meditating near the spot where Buddha's foster mother attained Parinirvana. What better place. Imagine it. All the greats sat around where I sat looking on and helping Prajapati Gautami attaining Parinirvana. The spot is lovely and serene on the banks of the Ganges. Wow. The Buddha watched on, Sariputra and Mogallana watched on, Kassapa, Bhaddaji and the other disciples watched on, Visakha and Amrapali watched on, Theri Uppalavana watched on and helped Prajapati Gautami to have her last bath. The five hundred nuns were sitting around meditating. It took time. I was on that spot imagining that scene through my monkey mind as I tried to meditate. Namo Buddhay. Namaste. I hope to one day take you to Maha Prajapati Gautamies Parinirvana stupa so that you can meditate there where the Buddha sat meditating while his foster mother slowly passed away.
One of my teachers explained how Dzogchen can be translated as both great perfection or as great encompassment. I resonate with great encompassment as it suggests that it both embraces and subsumes other teachings.
@sttopme: "Perfection", "encompassment", and "completion" can be experienced as inter-related: a state which cannot be improved ("perfection") . . . in which, therefore, nothing is missing ("completion") . . . and in which, therefore, everything is included ("encompassment").
Dr Thupten Jinpa is not just a translator he is the dramyin HH plays. He has been perfectly tuned over years of absorbing HH Dalai Lama's deepest knowledge and wisdom.
"There could be individual circumstances where individual practitioners have residual karmic forces being brought from previous lives. Then in a sense they are connecting with what is moving on from an already certain stage. In which case, a very specific instruction from an experienced guru or master may be an appropriate approach. But, generally, for most practitioners, it is better to approach from a basis of having an overall understanding of the structure of the Buddhist path and then engaging in specific practices on that basis." His Holiness Dalai Lama
Hello Seth Reid here.thanks for your insights on the Dzogen.i had an experience of a Dharma protector spirit in the wilderness,quit profound and transformative!i do moving meditation chi gong and metta prayer and then this happened and i was confused becuase i dont think of myself as a bhuddist,i just wanted to invoke the peacefull qualities in myself for myself and others.then this dharma protector thing met me in the wilderness!so now im trying to learn everything as much as i can to understand what happened!?it was blue and white energy like a star,it had the presence of a wise women and man,it was a deer that trotted in front of my van on the way then an owl in the tree across from me when stopped to medtate moving and pray then when i finished it knocked quit intelligably on the base of the tree!it was early 3am .when i looked where the sound there was a circle on the ground that went in 3d it was there with rows of arms pointed at the ends like ribbons flowing like centipede arms in some fluid state then all at once it went into my forehead through a long hourglass shape in the air!im changed forever after that experience.is there any other information about this experience you can help me understand i dont have any guru but i would like to understand everything more about what happened?could you please do a piece on these kinds of dieties and what that might mean to a western practitioner/aspirant without much frame of reference please
wonderful explication of the gradual path culminating in dzogchen teachings of realizing our buddha nature. metta! may all beings be at ease & may all beings awaken! ^__^
Beautiful. I'm so happy we have the Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment as an outline for how to accomplish this. As you understand more and more it seems so simple, but it's so hard to communicate!
Dzogchen is not a lam rim, it is not a gradual path. That treatise from Tsongkhapa is not about the Dzogchen path. Such lam rim works with sems not with rigpa.
Dzogchen can be mistakenly complicated. We are all Buddhas by nature. Rest your mind in the present and recognize your primordial essence. Try not to complicate the natural great perfection apparent in all of us.
I understand where you are going but i think this kind of talk, specially when made by people who are not realized qualifed master can lead to people resting in simple shamata without sing and think they are resting in rigpa...
Lori Passarelli It's only intellectual idea you speaking off, not realization. It's just following dogma as christianity "just follow the Jesus" - your experience do not change because realization or rigpa is absorption into different state of consciousness.
+SoSoDope "realization or rigpa is absorption into different state of consciousness" - that is your intellectual idea - the fantasy that one can experience, grasp, and become attached to some transcendent mental state which transforms experience - it seems to be quite common among new-agers who mistake Vedic scripture for Buddhism. The nature of mind is unchanging and eternally present, accompanying every experience and mind-state. The reason for working with and "purifying basic mind" is to facilitate the recognition of this. If you believe you can assimilate it as "absorption into different state of consciousness" then you've got it completely backwards!
peter robinson not yet, you trying to find explanations for your misunderstanding or mis-experiencing rigpa trying to point it as only itellectual stand. When you realize ripga u are free of death and suffering in one moment. I can clearly see that you not even enter stream entry and make such claims after reading some stuff. What you doing is just lip service dzogchen which means nothing.
peter robinson also you trying to fit other to your understanding to yours by comparison which means u dwell in dual state of ignorance and speaking of rigpa. just do not talk about rigpa unless u are totally enlightenment and realized by rigpa direct experience.
@@Master_Blackthorne Of course! Buddha gave different teachings to different people! Dzochen is good for people whose Klesha is anger, while Mahamudra, for example, is aimed at people with a strong desire! Saying one way is better than the other is only good for your own ego to make yourself important!
@@wildfeuer Dzogchen is the faster vehicle in Buddhism you can achieve a rainbow body in just three months if your mind is very very Sharp. That's why Dzogchen is called the highest teaching of the Buddhism.
You are wise by this realization of being these ideas of the mind, now, let them go.. and free yourself from the mind as the mind is more illusion then the illusions themselves....
I am commpassionate towards the sangha, inspired by the buddha and motivated by the Dharma that leads me towards the perfect bliss. I would not use attached.
ngawang lungtok, I would say that "attachment" is sort of natural and really not a negative problem unless we cant let it go lol... Seriously though, *allowing* all forms of mental afflictions to simply come and go is a very good Buddhist practice. If we judge "good or bad" we are stuck chasing our own tail. I asked my lama guru once if I should "allow/accept" even ignorance within my mahamudra practice.. "yes of coarse" he said.
You aren't wise, that's why Naropa had to cut off his fingers to grasp the meaning. I'm just messing with you, of course, I'm not Buddhist, but free Tibet! (And "grasping: may be better than "attachment", "upadana" in the twelve links, but maybe it is you who are messing with me!)
The Lotus Sutra: Mañjuśrī inquired, “How then, Bhagavat, did the Tathāgata obtain awakening?” The Bhagavat answered, “Mañjuśrī, the Tathāgata obtained an awakening that has no root and no ground to stand upon.” Mañjuśrī asked, “Bhagavat, what root would that be, and what ground to stand upon?” The Bhagavat replied, “Mañjuśrī, that root would be the transitory collection, and that ground to stand upon the imagination of what is not there.
@Buddhist Beast haha ok its not a mere book even without a teacher. You don’t know that coz you don’t know it’s language. So hard to say you are right. Did you read how patrul rinpoche praises longchen pa’s seven treasuries?
@Buddhist Beast actually I didn’t said you don’t need a teacher when you study Dzongchen but among many books , like longchen pa’s treasuries is very hard to find . Even single word from the text can transform us into the path . Dzongchen is a highest level , so it’s practitioner also must be most intelligent , hence some books are not just books to them, they don’t need study all again. They read books for upadeshas not for learn new things. Anyway I really like how you keeps sacred to way of Dzongchen teachings but you missed some points. Good morning from India.
i agree with blurring the lines between traditions EmptyMindFull, i was replying to ChinaThruJesusChrist's comment about jesus being the ONLY way to heaven, and the wicked going to hell.
when you do not ascertain clear light you are forced to superimpose faulty knowledge and mind. this doesnt mean fault is your nature, but it will feel like it is
well he's extremely well educated in these things. He writes books about them. And the Dalai Lama's only giving the very briefest of a sketch so he already knows the three this and the two that. Not to take anything away from him he's brilliant and a wonderful buddhist as well.
This isn't a teaching. Its a brief description of something that couldn't be taught on youtube. Nobody will watch this video and be able to even begin to practice Dzogchen
Dzogchen s never suppose to b explain..n can’t b explained..it’s bout experiences..Dalai Lama s an abundant learner n filled with informations..n a philosopher..but never a practitioner of dharma..
Whatpassesfor Dzogchen today is overblown ..dealt out with no thought for ignorant minds and also western time limits in useless activities. As usual tulkus are rotten. Many of them. Given empowerments that never come to fruition for lifetimes..
Greed is in the organized teachings. Member Tibet.lost their country due to abuse of ati yoga anf fighting. Among the schools . yulkus are perpertrating sectar again in the west ..in scramble for money anf dusciples. Old masters are dying..how dad to see this flaw..rising in strength .pitiful.
Keith Dowman makes me very sad..his rhetoric is way .off the mark.stick to.poetic translations. Sur. Not a fiatrube if gsutama buddha and the preminary paths of Tibetan schools..emaho.
Why do the Buddhists need to make everything so complicated and mysterious ?? Can’t they explained their meditation practice with simple words, down to hearth and accessible. Why so many weird names it’s confusing.
@Laurent L: It's not the explanation that is complicated. It's our minds that are complicated (and complicating). Since, by your comment, you suggest that a "simple" explanation would be all you need . . . here's the simplest explanation of all (from Advaita Vedanta): "Not this, not that " ("neti, neti"). Presumably, it's all completely clear to you now . . .
They have words for states of mind that we don't have words for. So they have to use english to paint a picture for us which you know is worth a thousand words. A thousand words for us they have one word for. And it is a very lofty teaching, so it is confusing for the conceptual mind, although in essence it is completely simple. Too simple for us to grasp.
I think the concept, justblike buddhism itself, is not complicated. I think its is that over centuries people have written commentaries, and expanded on things as humans are want to do. Its beautiful in its simplicity and amazing in its complexity.
Laurent L, i understand your request but your very funny..if it just could be that easy always!! People would be flooding Nirvana or or mastering every profession very easily and simply I guess!😅😊😁🤚🙏💫👌🌺
I am sorry that you are sad about this. Without blurring the line between traditions, how do you come to the conclusion that the message is not essentially realization of love itself and direct compassion as per Christ's essential teachings? If the Kingdom of Heaven is actually within us and God is in Heaven, then, to me, it brings the true nature full circle as a direct comprehension that the words can only suggest. Good Fortune to you!
its focus is not on "loving oneself". it is emphasis on "knowing oneself", who i am. what is this body? what is these mind & emotions? deeper and deeper. then you know there is something else. not body, not mind, not emotion. that is Dzongchen, primordial mind, pristine awareness, Rigpa, Buddhahood (Buddha Nature) within you. after that, you may develop love for oneself and other beings (or may not?). But that is a "by products" of Rigpa. it is a consequences of Dzogchen experience. if you study Eastern Orthodox Christianity, they also emphasis very similiar concept. Human was created in Divine Image and Likeness. human have Divine Spark within. the goal is to reconnect oneself to this Spark. this is called "Partaking of Divine Nature", or Theosis. This teaching is still practiced in Hesychasm, and Dessert Fathers Mothers tradition.
Rimpoche said he is a marxist monk. Marxism is source of communism. There are milions wictims murdered by communists. I thought he is buddhist monk, but he said he is marxist monk.
Haha, which Rinpoche said that HHDL is a Marxist monk? You might need to go and study a bit more political philosophy before just saying what’s Marxist or Communist first. Sure, HHDL wrote a text called ‘A Call for Revolution’ which carries certain critiques of contemporary political systems, as well as suggestions for the future. None of what he is suggesting involves the kinda of devolved Communism we saw in the 20th century. Unfortunately anyone claiming to support the Commons, and the rights of the people is usually framed as a Marxist: which carries such a negative association due to the fear campaigns run against it by the U.S.
it makes me sad that you bend the will of "God" and ignore the message of christ, which was LOVE, in order to affirm your own worthiness of getting to "heaven".
The translator is Geshe Thupten Jinpa. A very well-loved and well known translator of HH Dalai Lama. He's also author to several books.
That dude is the GOAT of translators, for sure!! He is off the charts man!!

None of what he is suggesting involves the kinda of devolved Communism we saw in the 20th century. Unfortunately anyone claiming to support the Commons, and the rights of the people is usually framed as a Marxist: which carries such a negative association due to the fear campaigns run against it by the U.S.
You should study your Rinpoche carefully. Be sure you understood him. And decide for your self.

it makes me sad that you bend the will of "God" and ignore the message of christ, which was LOVE, in order to affirm your own worthiness of getting to "heaven".
