1/2 The three statements of Garab Dorje. Zoom 07.2020

"The three statements that hit the key points" was the final testament of Garab Dorje, the first human teacher of Dzogchen and in the 19th Century Patrul Rinpoche wrote his elucidation, The Special Teaching of Khepa Sri Gyalpo, the Wise and Glorious King.
The Zoom teaching James Low gave on 4-5 July 2020 was using a revised translation of this text, which had appeared as Chapter 11 in his book Simply Being.

Day 1, 04/07/2022: • 1/2 The three statemen... (you are here)
00:00 Recognize the busyness and activity in our lives and investigate its necessity for freedom
04:45 The main concern is the flow of experience and the imaginary location of our ego self
13:02 Understanding the nature of our self and letting go of constructed notions of identity
17:18 Our consciousness creates a fantasy realm by grasping at illusions and taking them to be real
25:26 Salutation to the guru means realizing the non-duality of appearance and emptiness
29:34 The view in Tibetan Buddhism is about looking at our own mind as an infinite vastness
38:01 The ego is elusive and imaginary, leading to delusion
42:14 Recognizing the dangers of seductive invitations and the illusory sense of reality
50:40 Our belief in stable entities in the world becomes a problem in meditation
55:14 Awareness is different from consciousness
1:03:42 The main point is to recognize the primordial purity of our being and the interconnectedness of all phenomena
1:07:55 Connectivity and movement are key aspects in understanding the nature of existence
1:16:12 Passive adaptive tenderness is essential for managing circumstances
1:20:47 The self is a fabrication and has no intrinsic truth of its own
1:28:35 Awareness doesn't move, let the movement move and stay relaxed and open
1:32:08 Practice open awareness to develop unshakable equanimity
1:40:15 Disempowering agitation is not ethical because it doesn't help others or yourself
1:44:11 The power is in the subject, not the object
1:52:15 The empty tube between genitals and anus represents emptiness containing everything
1:56:55 The use of PHET is to shock open the mind and interrupt the activity of recovering the openness of the mind
2:05:21 You are not a thing, but the movement of energy within the mind
2:09:49 Emptiness is the key to understanding the nature of thoughts and ego
2:18:14 Recognize yourself as dharmakaya in all situations
2:22:23 Fluctuations of mood are a result of merging the mind with particular experiences

Garab Dorgie wasn't a human being but a light being who took human form. This is for the greatest alien disclosure report that I've come across yet. 👌🤗👽

[@Sammo247]

Most excellent commentary thanks. You seem to have included all great metaphors of expressing 😮the inexpressible 🎉

[@bradbryant3810]

You just said "Brazilian...Are you a student of Chagdud Rinpoche? Do you know my friend, Ariel? I am a student of Lama Tharchin Rinpoche and Lopon Jigme Thutop Namgyal Rinpoche
I am honored.......to hear this wonderful commentary on our tradition. Wonderful, rich but few words from experience.....this is untying a few knots - I am VERY grateful for having been fortunate to find this at just the right time! It's wonderful to find I had a forgotten act of generosity, capable of helping this instruction drop like an over-ripe mango, into my hand. The clearest commentary I've heard on these Pith Instructions!
Thank you!!!
