Namkai Norbu - Advice for Establishing Presence and Awareness - Dzogchen

Selected excerpts from the teaching given by Namkai Norbu entitled: The Mirror: Advice on Presence and Awareness. The full teaching can be found here: realization.or...
Chögyal Namkhai Norbu (1938-2018) was a Tibetan Dzogchen master. When he was two years old, Namkhai Norbu was recognized as the 'mindstream emanation', a tulku, of the Dzogchen teacher Adzom Drugpa (1842-1924). At five, he was also recognized as a mindstream emanation of an emanation of Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyel (1594-1651). From an early age, Namkhai Norbu undertook an accelerated course of study, attending monastic college, taking retreats, and studying with renowned teachers, including some of the most important Tibetan masters of his time.

[@risheenandparasram4468]

Dear Beingness, do objects create desires or the other way or both? Then again, both objects and desires are manifest and within the domain of empty cognizance. Any response? I don’t care about being right or wrong, only clarity.

[@SamaneriJayasara]

Interesting question, but the only way objects can create desires in us is if we are conditioned to have desire for them, and then feed, believe and cling to the object of our desire. For instance, your desire for strawberry ice cream is your particular and unique desire - other people may either find it repulsive or be neutral about it and have absolutely no desire for it. So, objects by themselves never create desires - they arise in us, and it is our own interpretation and clinging to the various objects of desire that grab us that is the root of desire. Careful though about interpreting all desires as "bad' if that is where you are heading with this. There are wholesome desires that we should encourage in ourselves. For instance, the desire for liberation, the desire to care for others, the desire to be free from base desires. Desire is just energy and if we can harness it correctly with wisdom and mindfulness, then it can be a great source of strength and an ally.

Is it normal to get nervous and have anxiety? Knowing Nirvana is close at hand?

[@SamaneriJayasara]

Well, yes the ego gets very frightened by the prospects of it's own destruction! However, Nirvana is always here and now - we just miss it because of the veils of delusion and the machinations of the false ego.

[@ninjabee07]

Hello to all and blessings to all. I'm just now recently studying these teachings and im feeling kind of nerve wrecked. Im getting stomach aches and nearly panick attacks and im wondering how could i overcome this? Thank you and peace be with you. I hope i get a response

[@SamaneriJayasara]

Hi Ninja, it's actually quite normal for these things to arise when one begins on the path of practice with sincerity and focus. All sorts of strange experiences, feelings, emotions, etc. which are often buried and remain repressed by busyness or distraction can emerge when we provide the space and stillness which these practices encourage. The main thing is not to be discouraged or fearful about them - just see them as part of the manifestation of the dream phenomena of samsara. Although they might be unpleasant and frightening at this time for you, they will not last - and this is the key insight to bring to your practice here. All conditioned things are impermanent. There are a few other ways to maintain your stability and calm so as to not freak out or give up the practice. Firstly, start to see these phenomena (any feeling, emotion, etc..) as not your self - they are simply a passing show. Try to recognise the unchanging, immovable witness and Awareness within you - the part of the mind that watches them all, and become more stabilised in that. That Awareness might be overwhelmed at times by the manic thoughts and feelings but the practice is to start take refuge in your own Awareness which is ultimately your true Nature and this Awareness is completely unperturbed and unaffected by any of the changing conditions. This particular teaching and meditation might be most helpful for you at this time: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4CxoJiJm6aJhMU&ab_channel=SamaneriJayasara With all good wishes
