What is Dzogchen with Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche

In this video, Mingyur Rinpoche briefly introduces Dzogchen, distinguishing it from two other well-known Tibetan Buddhist approaches: Mahamudra and Mahamadhyamaka. In his characteristically approachable way, Mingyur Rinpoche draws on a story of his father, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, to help present this profound meditative system.
This teaching is an excerpt from the W Dzogchen Immersion, one of the Vajrayana Online courses: learning.tergar.org/course_li...

[@sholman]

@@JoshuaRichardson123in addition to James Low, you might check out Lama Lena. Their styles are very different but both are direct, accessible, and have a lot of depth of experience with reputable Tibetan teachers. Having a teacher is really important in Dzogchen because the teacher points out the nature of mind to the student directly, non-conceptually. It is often recommended to try to avoid reading a lot of books about it in the beginning, as it’s easy to just layer more and more concepts instead of cutting through to direct experience. Another option is to join Mingyur Rinpoche’s Tergar learning system. It will take a few years to meet the preliminary requirements to study Dzogchen formally through that path, but what a fruitful journey, Enjoy your explorations!

[@molh394]

I like how he illustrates dzogchen not by some technical discussion of what rigpa is, but giving an example of cutting from his own experience. First time I watched this I was like, huh, he didnt...actually say what dzogchen is? But now I watch again and I appreciate what he just did

[@felice9907]

cutting through or trekchö is the main point here, and it is simply done by relaxing mind and body for a second. completely. this interrupts the flow of thoughts and concepts. it can be repeated as often as you naturally remember. but beware: it is radical and effective, like the entire dzogchen approach. better look for a teacher, to not keel over on this bumpy ride! very well read texts from ancient traditions of all kinds you can find on samaneri jayasara´s yt channel (playlist mahamudra, dzogchen etc.). and as someone mentioned down here, lama lena is a great teacher, especially for westerners! best wishes!

It goes along with his teaching that there is not fixed, unchanging, impermanent, or eternal anywhere in the universe. Thus, he also did not believe in God as most people understand it. And, while he did not believe in Gods, he did not advocate worshiping them much, because they too are not fix, eternal, or permanent.

Through dzogchen you realise the space of your awareness as well as reality. Phenomenon, simultaneously arising within the space of rigpa. Eventuality you get so good at it that this recognition is effortlessly achieved. You become the space of the internal experiencer. And you go so far into this space where you realise what the buddhas are saying. You understand theirs no difference between a buddha and a sentient. You realise the essence of where the potentiality for both buddha and sentient. You realise the nature of it very profoundly, which when you first realise it, you go into shock of anxiety but you then as an advanced trekcho practitioner, go into it again and again and you realise buddha nature and that it doesnt make a difference whether youre an ant or Samantabhadra or what. It doesnt matter. What would it matter when you see buddha nature. You see the condition for the potentiality for a buddha or a sentient, its all the same, you see where that came from.

Study, practice and realize Dharma today. These fictional stories are not useful. Dharma is about change from within, and we must become skilful in turning any circumstances into fruitful one's for Dharma practice.

Check out Our Pristine Mind by Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche for a very well written description of Dzogchen practices and teachings!

This is clearly a scholarly individual. Is he familiar with the work of Wilhelm Reich? How would he deal with the issues raised? Is Yongey also a scholar of the development of patriarchal civilisation?

Lol a schollary individual who did like 12 years of meditation retreat. The first 3 year retreat when he was 13, the last 4 year retreat wandering as a beggar through india and nepal. A little humility is always good edward

to me the names of hindu gods look like meditations in and of themselves, if i had to say a name that made me smile atm, narayana, because they look like words from other languages raya ~ sun (jah) nana ~ moon (nah) maybe i shouldn't be mentioning hindu god to buddhist, forgive, i dont know anything, ra mah mahh, ha, hairy hareee ! he he !

[@nothing.lasts.forever]

It's okay, Buddha was a Hindu king, and Buddhism is derived from Ancient Hinduism.

[@animesh7296]

Gautama had no problem, if he was and is one of ours, but Buddhism and Buddhists has always had problem with Hinduism. It is a blasphemy to say atma, self and god in there. If you see sculpture and paintings found in Nalanda, early buddhist relise on mocking hindu gods to prove their superiority.

The view is fake, the meditation is fake. Great Wisdom.

This is Nyingma Dzogchen. DZOGCHEN predates Buddhism. Its not Tibetan. Tibeteans borrowed it from the Bön. Primordial Dzogchen is a view, not a practice.
