Tsoknyi Rinpoche is a son of Tulku Rinpoche Orgyen (1920 -1996), grand master of the Kagyu and Nyingma tradition. Three weeks before the end of the three-year retreat, which ended November 21, 2009, Rinpoche came to Tsoknyi Lerab Ling to give instruction on the key points of the Dzogchen tradition, describe the possible pitfalls that await even advanced practitioners of Vajrayana and answer many questions from students of Rigpa. All with great honesty and a sense of humor to Buster Keaton.
His explanation of the subtle body - the receptacle of our energy dimension so often disturbed by modern life - have been particularly noticed. He also announced the forthcoming publication of a book on this subject.
Arcs-en-ciel
Rinpoche's visit to Tsoknyi Lerab Ling in southern France has coincided with the appearance of arcs in the sky above the valley for several days.
An evocation of Khen Rinpoche Nyoshul
In his last teaching, Tsoknyi Rinpoche spoke about the great yogi and scholar dzogchen Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche (1932-1999):
"When talking about Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche Dzogchen teachings, he said: "They are my fortune, they are my temple. These lessons are my true wealth, my real wealth. This is my gompa is my community practitioners of the sangha. It's just that, the thing that has more value. This is my most precious heritage. "Then he said:" Now I'll says, therefore, keep it the same way. In this world, is the most precious thing. Now I give you, please, keep it good, keep it well. Practice it . "
When we lived in the presence of Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche, he was able somehow to turn your value system, one could say that everything else had no real significance, that real wealth in this world was the Dharma teachings. He did not preach or try to convince a fanatic way by a sort of brainwashing inflamed, but it happened like that, because he himself had such a high regard for the most profound teachings, he transformed my perception. Once, I stayed with him for a month and I changed. Of course, I changed the other way a little later, but while I was there, I felt very different. "
A final advice for retreatants
" You are so fortunate. You were somehow infused, saturated by the Buddhadharma, not in the form of books, notes, recordings or anything else like that, but now this is something in you. That's what you should cherish, it is the Dharma of realization, not a scriptural dharma, dharma nor a word, but an embodiment of dharma, something you have in you now as the seven noble qualities, the sevenfold noble fortune. Please, cherish it. Do not ignore it, do not forget, but take it with you wherever you go, which is already in you.
The best thing if you can be more normal than normal people. The training of Dharma is to train a person to be 'normal', not an abnormal person. That's right, no? We always hear, again and again, the expression 'be natural', is not it? Be yourself. Be as you are, as it is. Your nature as it is. This is what is said again and again. Do not be forced, coerced, are natural.
And if you look around you in this world, this quality natural, normal, is brighter than anything else, the glory, power, wealth and all that stuff. Without this natural quality interior, power and wealth and that sort of thing is worthless.
You were under the protection of love and kindness of Sogyal Rinpoche for three years and you just concentrate on this main point, become a real human being truly human. And, ultimately, is all that the Dalai Lama teaches. "
