I liked the explanation that the mind by not recognizing its own state falls into the artificial division of subject and object (mind and experience) which is a delusion that generates "maripa". Also the Opening that shows with the Dzogchen teachings that are not restricted to anyone. On the other hand, at the Dharmawheel (Forum) it is usually a bit more rough... Thanks Malcom !!!

You mean cold and hard as ice, arrogant, pejorative and anticlerical.

@@Buddhist_Philosopher That's right. Mal is one of the worst human beings I have ever met. Not even just one of the worst Buddhists (he is not even Buddhist...in fact he hates the Buddha and Buddhism)

@@Buddhist_Philosopher he has a great resentment in his heart for all truly awakened and liberated masters with the sole exception of "sappan" (Sakya pandita) and "ChNN" (Chogyal namkhai norbu). He has basically attacked and insulted every single other Buddhist master in history from lord Buddha up to the present day, many times. He is a self declared "materialist atheist". He claims that Buddhism is the same as secular materialism and atheism. And so on...

@@AwakeningtheHeart-tv1it 99% agree with you. I have seen myself what you say. With the exception that I never saw him criticizing the Buddha or saying that Buddhism is the same as materialism. I have no doubt in my mind that Smith is an embarrassment to Dzogchen.

Very clear, thank you! Just a perfect complement to Alan Wallace's teaching on Dzogchen

dunno, dzogchen just sounds like: first reach sautrantika path of seeing then reach mindonly path of seeing then become an arya then you become qualified to do genuine dzogchen practice in other words what point is there to even uttering the name.....theravadins cant even ascertain sautrantika imputation since they dont know how to posit unchanging negations, and madhyamaka ppl cant ascertain sautrantika imputation since theyre too insane or rely on rinpoches that cant teach others if their lives depended on it. while youre smiling like an idiot the final lineages are about the die under your nose.
