THE VISION OF CLEAR LIGHT
A pure vision of MINGYUR NAMKHAI DORJE on the key point of the Dzogchen practice in the words of Patrul Rinpoche
Dzogchen Retreat led by Elio Guarisco
Friday, 19th – Sunday, 21st of February 2010
This teaching, committed to writing by Paltrul Rinpoche (1808-1887), is a pure vision of the renowned master Mingyur Namkhai Dorje, in which his master Jigme Gyalwai Nyugu with few words leaves him a sort of spiritual testament pointing out the key point of the Dzogchen practice with essential instructions on Tregchö of Dzogchen Upadesha.
In a vision of clear light Mingyur Namkhai Dorje received this teaching in the form of a testament from his teacher, Jigme Gyalwai Nyugu, one of the foremost disciples of Jigme Lingpa. Gyalwai Nyugu was a wonderful master embodiment of the selfless compassion of Avalokiteshvara. No pretentious behavior was ever witnessed on his part in any circumstance. He displayed utter simplicity, benevolence, service and an incomparable yogic asceticism imbued with a total disregard for any difficulty in pursing the spiritual path. That what made arise in his mind the total realization of the primordial state, and made his activities blossom to influence in a lasting way to a great extent the transmission of the Dzogchen Teaching.
Mingyur Namkhai Dorje, the 4th Dzogchen Rinpoche, devoted his entire life in practicing and expounding the Dzogchen teachings. He was famed all over Tibet for having realized the great perfection and, for his clairvoyance. His activity continually manifested from his altruistic heart and steadfast armor of patience and non bias toward all beings. Never straying from the luminous state of his own mind, his actions were the expression a state of contemplation that knows no boundaries between meditation and non meditation. Among his other activities, with Gyalse Shenpen Taye he founded the famous Sri Singh college of Kathog Monastery.
A student of both Gyawai Nyugu, whom he served for many years, and of Mingyur Namkhai Dorje, Paltrul Rinpoche is famous, above all, for having lived an unconventional life of total detachment from worldly glamour, in complete accordance with the teaching, a life exemplified by his compassion, humility, humor, and direct way of communicating the Teaching. It is said that, at his time, there was no renowned master of eastern Tibet that somehow did not establish a spiritual relation with him, among them some of the most famous were Ju Mipham and Adzom Drugpa.
This invaluable teaching is for those who have received already a direct introduction into the Dzogchen state and are sincerely interested in applying the Dzogchen method for discovering their own innate enlightenment.
