"I have done it all. I have done the deepest, most intense spiritual practices. When I was doing my one hundred thousand prostrations at Bodh Gaya, I had my board and I was out there at four in the morning for three hours, one hundred thousand prostrations. . . sixty to seventy thousand prostrations into doing this, I did a prostration, and I completely slide off the board into infinity. I went into this complete realm of golden light and bliss, I saw nothing but golden Buddhas shining a light upon me. And I opened into a whole realm. And then I got up and did the next prostration. . . In a way, that's what life is. Life is like doing prostrations. . .The point I'm getting to is that it takes one hundred thousand prostrations to get one good one." bhagavan das
@@ChogyalRinpoche Can Rinpoche share us some story, experience of what ramesh had while doing Nnogdro or any other practices? I thougt about this, What experience one might get or have while doing these secret practice? Thank you so much!
I have been "circumambulating" Ngondro practice since 1998. I am empowered into the Dudjom Tersar Ngondro from 2 excellent Lamas... (one in N. California and one in India) but this is the clearest and most empowering short teaching I have heard. I am wondering why neither of my teachers NOR the many books I have read on Ngondro were not able to elucidate this "Secret" aspect of the practice, which is so logical and empowering. Even a 7 - Day "Ngondro" Retreat I attended didn't mention anything about this aspect of prostrations. "Faith" is great, but when something this CLEAR is available....WHY not?? Now...for the first time, it makes "scientific" (Abhidharma) sense to me as well! Thank you SO much Rinpoche and Sangha! #:-)
He uses term of 'alaya vijnana' which belongs to Yogachara school of mahayana and has nothing to do with tibetan buddhism whatsoever. He just made up a new model with a pinch of logic.
Wow, that was a hell of a teaching. Quite related to Hatha Yoga, indeed - I guess it's not for nothing if Vajrayana practioners used to practice Hatha Yoga along with their Vedic brothers and sisters centuries ago in India. Anyway, I am planning to start Ngondro in a year or so and I had a some inner blocks about it cause I did not get the secret/energetic aspect of it. You cleared all my blockages. You have my eternal gratitude for that. Lots of metta to you and all sentient beings 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much for the very informative video, Chogyal Rinpoche La! I can’t wait to see the rest of the videos you have posted, because you explain everything in a very simple way to understand and this way my prayer for 3 years gets much more sense. Tuck je che!
Thank you. Maybe you like to check out the new REPA program I am starting August 19-21 - I am going to start with Prostrations. You can find more information here: chogyalrinpoche.notion.site/chogyalrinpoche/New-REPA-program-82313f339e0f4eb7a6b3ca291b457c0b
Rinpoche, Vajrayana Buddhism is so profound like a space. I was yearning to learn more about precious Buddhadharma, but didn't know where and how to start......? After a pilgrimage to Nepal, my learning started off with the fascinating story of Boudhanath Stupa about the past life of Guru Padmasambhava. That was in April this year, I was learning every day since. Rinpoche explanation of Ngongdro was so clear and easy to understand, was by far the best. Thank you for the great guidence. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💐🌷☸️🪷💎🌈🌕🌙✨💕💕

Dear Orpheusblotto, Rinpoche covered tsa lung teachings in his public lectures from 2017, some of these teaching you can find on this channel, e.g. this one: th-cam.com/video/2sBU5_tIVX8/w-d-xo.html. Best wishes, Tatjana (Chogyal Rinpoche TH-cam Team)
Dear Rinpoche, could you please give me some advice? I am doing the Ngöndro of mantra recitation. Already entered into the stream and kundalini has awakened and working since 2019. Non dual state is present and training on the subtle body being done now. But now have been dealing with health issue's due to blockages. Do you recommend to start with postrations ( have done only like 2000) as main practice and leave the mantras aside (150000 until now) and concentrate on postrations? I have the feeling that i would loose motivation if i had to do both 😂 Thank you in advance 🙏💎💜

Brad Bryant We must respect our teachers’ wisdom and guidance. Transmission and teaching is ‘their business’ 🥰👌🏼🙏

Thank you. I am happy you got inspired and sorry for the very late reply.

What is the Refuge prayer we say while doing prostrations?
It depends on the transmission lineage within which you do the ngondro. It is not always the same.

where can we watch this beautiful thanka form the film?
I’m from the U.K. and very much want to learn the mandala offering practice, but there are very few instructors in my country ☹️
