jsem buddhista pres 17 let, je to vychodni nabozenstvi co se zabyva nejhlubsi podstatou skutecnosti, tehle reality kde zijeme a zemreme. jako buddhiste take vime, ze existuje Buh (z Bible, Koranu a Zoroastrianismu) a spousta dalsich systemu bozstev a jinych svetu - buddhismus se tim nezabyva, buddhismus je univerzalni nabozenstvi jak pro bozstva tak i pro cloveka. Kdyz pouzivame slovo buddhismus mame na mysli vyhradne svate slovo Dharma, ktere ale na zapade nepouzivame.

GRAMEC: neni to nahodou naprosto off-topic s buddhismem ?

The Uttara Tantra and Dzogchen

The earliest Buddhist text (350 A.D.) that defines rigpa as understood later in Dzogchen thought.

From the Uttara Tantra:

“The luminous nature of the mind is changeless, just like space. It is not defiled by adventitious stains, such as desire, born from false imagination.”

The author, Asanga, also mentioned a “samadhi of sunlight”, of which I can’t find further information.

Here is the entire tantra with a commentary by

Jamgön Kongtrul comments:

“Likewise the tathagatagarbha, the dharmadhatu which is clear light, abides all-pervasively within all beings as the nature of their minds. Yet this dharmadhatu is by nature completely pure. For this reason it never suffers the slightest pollution from the faults of beings, such as their mental poisons and so on.”

“This clear and luminous nature of mind is as changeless as space. It is not afflicted by desire and so on, the adventitious stains, which are sprung from incorrect thoughts. The nature of space is not changed through clouds, smoke, and so on. In the same way, the tathagatagarbha, the clear and luminous nature of the minds of all beings, is changeless. It is not in the slightest altered by the fact that the veils are purified or unpurified, and so on.”

Jamgön Kongtrul


“Its nature is absence of thought.” Although thought appears within it, yet it, itself, has no thoughts.

Chakras are the Wisdom Lights of Rigpa

The chakras are the Five Lights and the Five Buddha Wisdoms. By releasing their contracted energetic states, their wisdom-light illuminates consciousness and transforms our limited and fixed perspectives.

Dzogchen master, Tenzin Wangyal, explains how to open the crown chakra. By doing so, incredible insights into the true nature of reality and self, arise spontaneously:

“Upward-moving prana: this practice opens the top of the central channel and the throat and crown chakras. Inhale. With your mouth closed, pinch your nose shut and blow out very, very gently, as if clearing your ears in an airplane or while diving. Be very careful and very gentle so as not to hurt your ears. The point is not to clear your ears but to use the internal pressure to direct your attention to the crown chakra. As much as possible, experience the sensation on the crown of your head. Use your imagination to concentrate the pressure in the central channel and to feel it open the chakra. If you don’t feel anything, just keep your attention fixed on the crown. Exert a slight pressure with your held breath. When you do feel the sensation, be present with it. Let the breath become natural. Stay focused in the crown chakra, but let the awareness be completely open and free. Exhale, directing the prana upwards through the chakra. Do this practice any time you wish, but particularly when feeling down, depressed, or dull; when feeling that you don’t have the strength to handle the tasks you need to do; when lacking clarity or wakefulness; and when distracted or confused.”

(Excerpt from his excellent book,
“Healing with Form, Energy and Light”)

Who loses character, he loses all


Ahura Mazda, thou dost create man; thou dost not create his character. It is man's own creation. Man is its maker and it springs from within him. It is his inestimable personal acquisition.

Good thoughts, good words, and good deeds form character. It is the outward manifestation of man's inner life regulated by the moral order of Asha. It is the symbolic representation of Daena's religion practiced and lived by man. When truth and righteousness and virtue are woven together on the loom of life, they make for character.

Man of character outshines men of talents and birth and fortune, and outlives them all. Character is greater than genius. When intellect weds character it becomes matchless. It loses its luster when, alienated from character, it stands by itself. Character alone exalts. It makes a peasant more honored than a prince.

The beauty of character surpasses all other beauties. Character shines with greater brilliance than does the diamond. Character commands respect and trust of all as nothing in the world does.

The weakening and loss of man's character brings his fall. It is the end of his life. Man leaves his all at death behind. Character alone endures and the man of character takes it with him to heaven.

The Basic Philosophy of Dzogchen

Dzogchen means “Great Perfection”. It teaches that all phenomena, all experiences, all events, all creatures and their actions, thoughts and behaviors, are perfect however they appear.

The Source of manifestation is perfect and therefore all its manifestations are perfect. We are all Buddhas now, generating our own perfect Buddha-lands.

Through our mind’s capacity to conceive, we conceive falsely that we are not perfect Buddhas and that our environments and their inhabitants are not intrinsically perfect, however they appear.

We all are “now” perfect Buddhas in a perfect Buddha-land, but think and believe otherwise.

Dzogchen talks about primordial purity (Kadag) instead of emptiness. One’s nature and one’s manifest expressions are primordially pure. The concepts and beliefs that one’s nature, environment and others, are not perfect are empty, fictional thoughts. But even those fictional thoughts are the primordial purity, and being intrinsically empty, are left as-is.

Nothing need be corrected, renounced or transformed, because however inner or outer phenomena appear, it is the primordially pure, perfection appearing. There is only a Great Perfection to be enjoyed or much suffering when one believes otherwise.

Your Awareness (rigpa), is like an empty mirror that is never altered, improved or damaged, no matter what types of images or reflections as perceptions, thoughts, emotions, sensations, illnesses, death or identities appear within consciousness, as its primordially pure appearances.

Now relax! It’s all always perfect
just as it is, however it is.
