Direct Transmission
The starting point for the practice of Dzogchen is to receive a ‘Direct Transmission’ from the teacher. This ‘Direct Transmission’ is the means by which the teacher introduces us directly to the true nature of our mind: our primordial state or ‘rigpa’ (in Tibetan). Ideally, it is best to receive the ‘Direct Transmission’ from the teacher in person by attending a retreat, but since this was not always possible, Rinpoche also gave ‘Direct Transmission’ via the worldwide web.
The Transmission enables the person to start to practice the Dzogchen Teachings transmitted by Rinpoche without being in his direct physical presence.
Newcomers should be seriously interested in the Dzogchen Teachings which were transmitted by our Teacher Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche and practiced by our worldwide Dzogchen Community and should try to receive Transmission when it is next available.
People can send their request to be put on a mailing list to be notified about the date of the next Transmission by writing to 该邮件地址已受到反垃圾邮件插件保护。要显示它需要在浏览器中启用 JavaScript。 After having received the Transmission, they should also try to train and collaborate with the Sangha of the International Dzogchen Community of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu.
