thank you for posting these , I am watching them all , late at night in Canada. Bless you and may all your Bodhisattva wishes come true!💕♥💞

This man was an incredible gift to the West and a true servant of Dharma. Wonderful and insightful talk here.

" Karma exists only for the unconscious man. The law of karma exists only for the unconscious man; for the conscious man there exists no law of karma. It is really unconsciousness that makes you suffer. If you do something unconsciously then you will suffer, then karma will be created. ‘Karma’ means unconscious action. If you do something consciously, fully alert, no karma is created. If your act is total, spontaneous, it is finished in that moment. It is atomic, it is not a continuity. It leaves no traces behind. That’s why an enlightened man is unpredictable. Only an unenlightened man is predictable because he moves unconsciously, in a routine way, mechanically. There are no surprises in his life. Somebody loves you, and you love him. Somebody hates you, and you hate him. Somebody comes and praises you and you feel very expanded like a balloon. That’s why people use buttering so much - praising others helps. A Romanian philosopher, Cioran, says that the deepest desire in man is the desire to be praised - one may say, one may not say. Somebody praises you and you fall all for him. And somebody insults you and you become the enemy for ever. These are not actions, these are reactions. The other is using you like a machine, he is pushing your buttons. You are not acting, you are reacting. The other is manipulating you, he knows what to do. A conscious man cannot be manipulated by anybody. His action is not reaction, his action is action. Buddha was insulted, people were abusing him in a village. He stood there, and when they had finished he said, ‘If you are finished can I go now? I have to reach the other village, people will be waiting for me there. If you have not finished yet, soon after a few weeks I will be coming back - then you can do the remaining thing.’ Those people were a little embarrassed. Buddha looked utterly aloof, as if what they were doing had not reached to him. He remained unscratched. They said, ‘But we have been abusing you, sir, we have been insulting you. Are you not going to answer?’ Buddha laughed. He said, ‘If you wanted the answer you should have come at least ten years before. Then I was unconscious, then you could have pushed my buttons and I would have reacted. But now I have become conscious, I have become a Buddha. Now I can see what you want to do to me, and I am not going to be manipulated by anybody. Now I live on my own, now I do what I feel to do. And I don’t feel any anger, I simply feel compassion for you. I feel sorry for you - more so because in the other village before reaching to your village, many people had gathered there and they had brought fruits and sweets to present to me. And I said, “Sorry, I cannot accept them because I have eaten my breakfast and it will be unnecessarily a burden for me to carry these things. Please, you take them back home.” I ask you, what should they have done with those sweets and fruits?’ Somebody from the crowd said, ‘They must have distributed them in the village, they themselves must have eaten them.’ Buddha said, ‘That’s why I feel more sorry for you. Now you have brought these insults and these abuses and I am not going to accept them, what will you do? Now I really feel sorry for you. You can insult, that is your freedom - but to accept it or not is my freedom.’ When consciousness has dawned you act for the first time, you don’t react. An action is beyond the law of karma. The law of karma applies only to the unconscious being. The man of awareness has absolute freedom. No law binds him, no law defines him. He’s as vast as the sky, he’s as infinite as the sky. His freedom is absolute."

The great awakenkng Is knowing where rigpa itself comes from. No going back the knowing where basic space comes from

Ashe’O ~ Manifest, Our Royal Guru!! Thank you so much..🌹👆🏾👑💚✨✨✨

I first me Mike Hookham in Putney 1978 where he gave weekly talks and mediation sessions. I heard he died a few weeks ago and wanted to give thanks for his life and the teachings he introduced here via his teacher Chogyam Trungpa,.

Is part 2 available on you tube?

You are more awake hence a heightened lucidity or clarity if you like when you practice presence, even as an ego the heightened clarity is still there. Awareness becomes greater thereby bestowing greater self inquiry tools leading to transformation.

I really appreciate your explanation! My thanks!

Isn´t "it" always there - even when we don´t recognize it? Sometimes still trapped in delusion and ignorance about my true nature but still after a short time - coming back. My question is: "Even when caught up in thought, judgement or avoidance - the true nature of reality is always present although I don´t recognize it on an individual level". Isn´t it the "ego/mind" who wants absolut control over so called "enlightment"? - Thanks for any feedback

And raise the victory banner to the end of the world.

Useless.

Glorious Lamp

Gratitude 💗🤍🫶🏽✨

“Above all, be at ease, be as natural and spacious as possible. Slip quietly out of the noose of your habitual anxious self, release all grasping, and relax into your true nature. Think of your ordinary emotional, thought-ridden self as a block of ice or a slab of butter left out in the sun. If you are feeling hard and cold, let this aggression melt away in the sunlight of your meditation. Let peace work on you and enable you to gather your scattered mind into the mindfulness of Calm Abiding, and awaken in you the awareness and insight of Clear Seeing. And you will find all your negativity disarmed, your aggression dissolved, and your confusion evaporating slowly like mist into the vast and stainless sky of your absolute nature.” ― Sogyal Rinpoche, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

Why didn't the revelations of Chogyam's inproprieties bring this whole school crashing down???

❤️

Longchen knew what was going on

Longchenpa speaks of non-duality, or negation of ego, as illusory. I don't know why this guy is talking about the "scariness" of stepping away from ego.

Who is this man I can't see anything about his background who he is where he comes from?

Never hug a success, lest you become it. Dukkha is behind everything and every moment.

It would seem there has to be some awakening in us just to take his perspective as we listen to the words and their implied meaning. I suppose there is a gradation of that percebtability as well.

I don't think they could take his perspective, or realize it by seeing it?

His perspective is supremely pure in all sense, or in as much as we want to grab onto in this state...of states, moments, moment to moment, over and over again, always right here...

Right on!✨🌟🙏🏽🌈🧚🏼‍♂️🌈🙏🏽🌟✨

Oh, and thank you!

Yep, come and see

I'd like to say that the commenter on "religion is religion and truth is truth", stating the 2 are completely "different" to each other is not really sensing the basis of the teachings. Especially funny is the part how they say Buddhism is a search. I understand that there is no need to search because truth is already inherent in the basic ground, that underlying openness that apparent separations and classifications sort of rise out of... Recognition is liberation :)

🧘‍♂️😇

Feel like i came in connect with Chen energy

As it is

The subtle mind so tricky . and the natural flow of mind I am just so damn curious all the time now its constant self discovery.

So thankful for these teaching introduced to me by cousin. Seems so timely for our current world situation. If we don't really begin to understand our own mind we will simply go round and round.

Thank you

Can you kindly explain what is the nature of clear light .thank you.

That’s a great explanation. Dilgo Khyentse who is quoted here was a great Nyingma Lama.

Thank you. 🙏🏻. This is incredible teaching. It is such a privilege to listen.

Amazing.. thank you. These experiences are vibrant presence...closing the mandalas with pure awareness. In honour of you, Guru. Trekcho. No mind

Is he a nagkpa? Not sure of spelling ..nagpa? Nakpa? Layman yogi within nyingmapa.

How nice, thanking you for your precious insight om

Thank you thank you 🙏🏻. I have never laughed so much at the game we play and it’s obviousness once you see yourself playing it. This is amazing!!!! Open. Always open.

Great teacher and teaching.

The Lama is right to say this but... There is a danger here, the body store’s negativity as physical pain, if you rest properly this won’t be too difficult to deal with but inexperienced people can give rise to all sorts of diseased phenomena inside the body as these things arise. What’s more this becomes very addicting egotistically as bad habits fall away through this practice and one has the self appearance of becoming better which further increases your desire to confront your negativity. This can make the exhaust of negativity = physical affliction accumulate bringing long term illness. This act of engaging with ones affliction should be very gentle and measured. Taken slowly and always with the sense that these appearances are conceptual and need not be done away with, otherwise you will come into conflict with oneself or increase your self hatred as your awareness of your own flaws increases... this can often cause pride as you can become very satisfied you have overcome some affliction, but pride is the god realm and the god realm leads to hell. Often when we become refined we become confident in our own purity or connection to divinity relative to others and this can cause our outlook of others to become unequal, we being their betters...this becomes a rationale to scold or to feel as if we know better than they do about how to conduct. The absolutism of always looking towards affliction is extremely courageous but their are literal physical limits of most human bodies. Just as absolute generosity is courageous but their is an absolute limit to your bank account. If you are prepared to be overrun by limitless physical discomfort then always confront everything, if your prepared for absolute poverty always give whatever is asked of you. This is absolutely correct in Buddhist thought but it does not account for the capacity of the student. Look at your small afflictions feel the result and enjoy the freedom from those afflictions, if you look at every affliction as much as possible you will quickly be overcome with illness. As much as you purify negativity you should cultivate a sense of being human not believe your own hype and also a sense of the four immeasurables is very important especially joy to counteract the pessimism of staring into the abyss. I speak having always confronted every negativity because I above all was desperate to be free of myself and the causes of suffering. But you must by back every penny that you owe, if your anger is real the results of that anger will manifest. To turn towards it is to make the decision to no longer be blackmailed into negative habits but to stand your ground. But the anger will have its day you are merely allowed it to express itself in meditation karma instead of world karma. This practice is extremely challenging, the hardest thing you will ever do, fraught with peril and the only way to freedom, he most rewarding thing you can do. Not for bliss or betterment but because slowly by slowly wisdom will rule the mind and body instead of affliction. Please do not judge anyone for their actions brought from their afflictions even if you indeed know better as you will no doubt have your own afflictions you do not recognize and behave in away that causes others to judge. This is just my own experience perhaps it will be entirely different for you. I share these word in the hope that people will be kind to themselves and others and to approach their afflictions as friends in healing not enemies to be conquered which will cause an internal war and damage to oneself which can be extremely undeserving and not at all what a casual practitioner would wish for. To quickly climb is to risk a great fall, I hope people will be gentle.

Very insightful. "I" was hoping the confused state could completely vanish. But that "I" and "hoping" lol. Thanks for the clarity.

YES yes yes .....we dismantle the self through meditation on the Great Purity.....the Nature of Mind When the video camera finally panned through the audience.....Everyone appeared SO casual (to me)......as it seems like there should be hundreds, if not thousands of beings sitting in front of this wise LAma, benefitting from such valuable teachings. I would see the same thing in many gatherings here in California......I guess I'm just suggesting that those of you near this Lama, geographically, have a great opportunity to learn from an authentic teacher. He is 100% authentic and realized. Who am "!"? This "mirror" is just another confused being, hoping to transcend my mundane views before I die.

Wonderful teacher & teaching. Genuine Dharma.
