Witnessing greatness! His mastery of all the schools, his clarity in describing the clear light nature of mind from the point of view of the different schools is nothing less then breath taking. Great master!

Well he certainly indicates that it's familiar with all the different systems schools of thought practices but that doesn't necessarily mean he's a master of them all. At least I didn't hear him say that.

Well you came to the right place.

[@VajrasattvaAyurvedaYoga]

Great to hear about some of your practices, His Holiness.

[@moderncontemplative]

When you get deep into the teachings on Dzogchen (the Great perfection teachings), you will learn that it is in essence, the same wisdom you'll find among teachings of masters from all wisdom traditions from around the world, particularly, the core of what Gautama Buddha discovered and taught (dhamma). It's the clearest, sacred wisdom system I've come across that deals with the nature of mind and reality, and how to become enlightened in this very lifetime!

[@ernestweber5207]

The essence of all teachings is contained within the view of Radical Dzogchen, but in the relative sense, they are not at all the same in regards to the approach. The Great Perfection/Encompassment/Completion/Juncture is specific and is often recognized as the apex approach. In that case, one does not actually become enlightened at all, it is a non-starter. Recognition of the nature of mind is a matter of what is only right now and not something someday. There is no actual gradual method or practice admitted in this practice. Of course, you may know that anything that is composite or that comes to be is also subject to dissolution, (as per the nature of mind) and how could simple, spontaneous reality be buddha in the now if it could be induced, attained, practiced or created temporally? Gradual methods are within the luminous nature of mind, but they do not and cannot effectuate it, or that would be a samsaric, karmic activity. Non-action and non-mediation are keys to this, but they tend to have a koan-like impact on the intellect, if anything. In that case, even the Tantric custodians knew that Dzogchen is beyond graduated practice or cause and effect. Of course, one can practice various spiritual feats, (or learn to bowl and dance) as well as polish up the old ego and try to take it upwards in karma on the wheel, but that is merely fluff and superfluous in regards to Dzogchen. All of those practices are considered secondary and could be said to be pure and perfect in themselves if they are recognized within this context. Gardening and football both have the same ontological status as striving in meditation, etc., in this view.

[@moderncontemplative]

Ernest Weber Well said. Thanks for your insight.

Wonderful. No word wasted - packed with meaning. So refreshing! Except too speedy at the end in a few places.

It would be a great service to mankind if someone were to take this and re-record the translation in a calm voice.

LUV ALL LAMA.

[@MariaRodriguez-gc9jk]

This is the most inner core of the Tibetan Buddhist teachings! Cognizing rigpa, our own awareness which is by default reveals to us our innate nature being pure love and compassion. Therefore, why not practicing Dzogchen right of the bat instead of beating around the bushes with other practices? Why spending years and years practicing relative and absolute bodhichita and not getting anywhere, where in a matter of seconds we can actually taste them via cognition of rigpa?

[@monkeyxx]

They all work. One is not better than the other, or worse. They might take different amounts of time, or give different experiences. Also I think the point of dzogchen is easily missed without some preparation, not that I really know anything, but that's my observation. And that missing the point of "pointing out" can be pretty harmful, so they're careful about it. I've heard lamas say that if you're a "natural" you might have done the preparation in earlier lifetimes, or be able to observe your own diligence in this one lifetime. Even becoming comfortable with samadhi can take years, for example, for beginners. It's all meant as help. I think it would be good to have a personal teacher rather than sort of wondering about all these paths, but some of us don't!

[@morpety]

Witnessing Learning. I expected that one of the most revered practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism would emanate his presence of enlightenment and elucidate the teachings from his direct experience without texts. You can see most of the audience are experiencing nothing other than the realm of thoughts which they are far too familiar with, so they are bored and distracted. They should change the title of this Lama from Holiness to Learned.

[@morpety]

@Buddhist Beast I see. Thanks

[@monkeyxx]

He's teaching teachers, and other interested people. This is very much like a conference or an expert class. Very academic in a sense. But you can still learn from it if you're not distracted by trivial details!

Does the translator stop translating whenever Dalai Lama mentions Tögal?

[@ShaneNull]

This is a no brainer, Vajrayana can end widespread ignorance and replace it with compassion & enlightenment.

[@thomasschwarz1973]

OK... ...so when we overcome attachment to individual identity (fundemental human ignorance), and we, with that same mind, find peace, interesting to take note, that our minds, without attachment to individual identity, will accept all variations of fundemental ignorance, because we do not seek individuation, but on the other hand, we do transform or get rid of that human desire for, and attachment to, lasting individual identity....

[@TheGuiltsOfUs]

Dzogchen is the way to Krishna consciousness!

[@vanvo14]

I hope that the HHLD can teach this content in English by himself, to be sure that is exactly what He want to say about Dzogchen. the interpreter sounds heavy making me sleepy, not sure that he understand what he's talking about

[@uziao]

Hi van vo :) Dalai Lama and his translators don't have a social or commercial connection but are connected by Dharma, so the translator must be well qualified and true in his intentions I recommend the book "Dzogchen: the heart essence of the great perfection" by H.H. Dalai Lama :) All the best Greetings from Brasil Ormando (Colatina - ES) Tashi delek ^^

[@rohlay00]

Translator was rubbish. A shame for such a profound teaching...

[@Alex-tl5oq]

is this a empowerment for those who watch this

[@darklandsdarklands99]

Que pena que no haya subtítulos en español….

[@mariarodriguez7063]

While it was a great privilege listening to HH, but his translator was not doing justice explaining the 3 words of GB as it should have been. I am certain, folks who had never received this teaching before, didn’t understand one word of it!

[@cwilkinsonwck]

Who are these folks you mentioned?

[@Ger-BG]

[@antwortmir4451]

While his solemnly humble-sounding description of enlightenment may sound pleasing to some listeners, even the slightest solemnity is entirely unnecessary. It would be appropriate if he pointed out that enlightenment is not special at all.

[@CarolineMartin]

who dislikes this?????

Isn't he allied with the West and NATO? The ability to discern right from wrong is a prequesite for calling oneself a leader, Especially a spiritual leader.

[@rohlay00]

Loved what His Holiness was saying, but I cannot stand the voice of this translator. Please slap some cold water on his face he has completely spoiled this teaching..

[@MariaRodriguez-gc9jk]

This is such a profound matter, so by shooting out words as fast as a machine gun is not allowing those new to Riga as well the rest of the audience to digest and assimilate these teachings of Garab Dorje It would have been quite different if Thupton Jimpa had been the translator here, cuz for one thing he doesn’t translate simultaneously, second, he chooses his words backing with his actual experience hence there is resonance in the listener, as opposed to incessantly translating.without any resonance to the listener. Honestly this translator needs to go in to retreat for some years,so he can actually gain realization, then come and translate to really convey the true essence of Zogpachepo!

[@joanmarietsultrimparkin1821]

Tibetan politics interferes with faith in the teachings of Lord Gautama .. Sectarianism into west caused great disharmony and wrong view. Even now Bon is not recognized as a lineage of Tibetan practices. This is very confusing.. no disrespect to Holiness but Gelugpa monks..many display pride and arrogance in their relationship to ordained nuns ..and in general to those not in the new Sarms schools.. Guru Rinpoche left terma saying this would occur.

[@Anorectic.Bumblebee]

Your holiness has no real clue of dzogchen, but of a lot of concepts. He is a very good parrot!

very nice understanding, a tour de force by HH. clown boy dorje needs vast maturity, way beyond my comment.
