Thank you for providing this video of his holiness ❤❤❤❤🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️💐💐💐💐💐

May we never be separated from the loving care of true gurus in this life and all our future lifetimes, which are quickly approaching! May we always be reborn to help each other toward Enlightenment with serious practice in every lifetime. May we get the scholarship, teachings, good friends, and safe supportive environments we need to do that.

Very insightful comments here. 🙏🏼

Malcolm said very different things about Advaita Vedanta in 2012: "What are the four seals? All conditioned phenomena are impermanent. All afflicted phenomena are suffering All phenomena lack identity Nirvana is bliss. You can find these four seals in Advaita Vedanta as well. Just substitute brahman for nirvana and you have a perfect match. It is very hard to differentiate brahman from nirvana. Really, go ahead and try. I once forced Khenpo Tsultrim Gyatso to admit (I have a witness, incidentally) that there was no substantial difference between Advaita Vedanta and Gzhan stong in terms of how they presented their view. His only response was a sectarian polemic "But there is no buddhahood in Vedanta!" Now, mind you, I am not saying that there is such a thing. But when you study these texts, you come to realize, even as Bhavaviveka and Shantaraksita both observed, that language of Advaita and the language of Madhyamaka are more or less identical. Shantaraksita complains in his Tattvasiddhi to the effect "If you accept the nature of things is non-arising, why do you not become Buddhist!?" Now, again, I am not saying that if you practice Advaita you will become a buddha -- I honestly do not know. But I am saying that when you study these things, philosophically, at any rate, it is very hard to show the difference between Advaita and Madhyamaka. The main difference between them is that Hindus accept the Vedas as self-originated and Buddhists do not. But in Dzogchen we accept that Dzogchen tantras are self-originated, that they arise directly out of the sound of dharmatā. So, this is not really very different than what the Vedic scholars believe. For example, the Song of the Vajra is just the intrinsic sound of dharmatā, the state of realization of Samantabhadra and Samantabhadri in union. Though Dzogchen tantras do take pains to differentiate themselves from Upanishadic doctrines of the atman, these very same ideas get used in Dzogchen in a very similar way -- which is why there is a rebuttal in Dzogchen tantras of certain ideas we find in the Upanishads so we don't run out and say "The Upanishads teach the same thing as Dzogchen". So we can find a lot of parallels in Dzogchen and non-Buddhist teachings."

Such an incredible dharma talk!!!! Can't stop listening to it.

Ah!

I wish more was expounded upon in regards to Dzogchen versus A.V........Lots of murkiness

This "Teacher" Smith is the most obnoxious, arrogant, i9norant, rude, superficial, frankly stvpid fellow in the world and sadly it really hurts Wisdom's brand being connected with him.

B Alan hit the nail on the head when he said that some of us need to burn off old karma causing craving and attachment. I needed to go thru some things and consciously put "practice" and any pursuit of a path on hold. I started meditating at 21yr old and stopped at 35 to fulfill a need to experience some very human experiences that most people take for granted but that I missed growing up in an orphanage and foster homes.. It turned out all wrong but that was all right. I returned to active seeking by the time I was 50 and it could not have gone any other way...

2:10. "the nature of everything is empty"?

One more thing to add - if you say with one breath Dzogchen and Vajrayana don't have a foundation (all dharmas are empty) and that Trika Shaiva doctrine pronounces everything as real cause all is derived from Parabhairava you create inconsistency in your philosophy. Cause both these absolutist views are identical on the level of contemplative experience. No difference. It is for this sort of superficiality that scholars are for laughs for genuine yogis and siddhas. Literally manufacturing differences where there are none just for sake of having some point of dispute or disagreements, cause the real practice and actual knowledge is lacking and certain jeeva wants to belong to ''superior'' school of thought. Yogis and realized adepts of either of those mentioned systems all agree on this point - there is no fundamental difference in quality of realization or values of these respective teachings - they to themselves, in their own right are full and exhaustive systems with complete arsenals of skillful means and methods that lead to final realizations. Some negligible differences in philosophy, whereas unifying common ground in experience makes these differences absolutely unimportant.

I like the sukhavati beeing called "pureland of the proletariat". The pureland way is so inclusive and wonderfull. May all beeings be free of opression ,hate and ignorance. Namo Amida Butsu

What is this guys name

Namo Buddho🙏 Dear bhante, or dear brothers and sisters in Sasana, can u tell me how to practice in alone lay followed life-anapanasati or satipatthana practice according with bhante Analaos books? I mean Mindfulness of breathing and Satipatthana meditation.

Great advice!!

Name of the song please 🙏

Very enjoyable. Problems with reality yet we have a brain designed by and for Reality.

I would like to hear Wallace's argument on the Pure Lands. He is always so critical of science being dogmatic and argues how we can come to know the mind and therefore the nature of reality through the mind, through meditation which I agree with. But I feel like there is no science behind the pure lands, that it is based solely on faith and even reminds me of the Christian heaven (maybe a transitory one?). When I hear about the pure land, I imagine it referring to the Earth, to how I view (or potentially could view) reality today. It is complete as it is. Why bother aspiring to something that I have no proof of its existence? I know wisdom and compassion to be true. I am skeptical of the pure lands. Is there a reasonable explanation for it?

This is soothing to my overly self critical mind

Thank you Rinpoche 🙏 very good explain motivation and karma.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I Love this man❤️

So well explained! 🙏❤

What a profound statement.

Excellent content. Just an observation: In the future, could you please place the microphone a little closer to the speaker in order to improve sound quality. Thank you.

Thank you for chat with Rinpoche. Subject of motivation or good intentions is tricky one. There is well known proverb ,, way to hell is paved with good intentions,, . Having good intentions our actions can worsen initial state of matter. So it is not much about good intentions but knowledge about consequences of our actions. All best.

Amazing 😍😍

Thank you from Brasil :)

Hello. Will yesterday's talk be available to watch again? Thank you very much

A great example how great scholars and translators end up entangled in their sophisticated nets of mental constructs. Indeed, Malcolm understands and explains Dozgpachenpo clearly and well enough, yet, his understanding of nondual teachings such as Shaivism and advaita vedanta is so so superficial. He barely scratches the surface. Shiva is Adibuddha, plain and simple. Saying Shaiva tradition has a substance and dzogchen doesn't is a prime example of scholarly bias. Where do you place Samantabhadra, Malcolm?

Thanks for this Malcolm

Chaktsal 💐what a bless🙏

Your Holiness, I feel blessed to have you as my teacher.

This the so called possible worlds view. Seems that we need to know what 'real' is next.
