DZOGCHEN RETREAT
(Teilnahme an Einzeltagen aber möglich)
- TIEFE UND LICHT -
Dzogchen enthüllt die Aktualität unserer gelebten Situation: Die Tiefe oder Offenheit unseres immer gegenwärtigen Gewahrseins doch ungreifbaren Gewahrseins erfüllt mit dem Licht der Erfahrung, dem un(be)greifbaren Fluss der Energie, die Muster bildet. Dies ist bereits da, immer präsent, vollständig und völlig ausreichend. Indem man dies sieht und wir unserem primordialen Gegenwärtigsein vertrauen, lösen sich die Täuschung der Unwissenheit, Greifen und Festhaltenwollen, Isolation und Abgetrenntsein von selbst auf.
DzogChen Thögal ist die Enthüllung der Energie des ungeborenen Raumes unseres Geistes. James wird auch dieses Tema streifen.
- Depth and Light -
Dzogchen reveals the actuality of our lived situation.The depth or openness of our ever-present yet ungraspable awareness filled with the light of experience, the ungraspable flow of the patternig of energy. This is already present, complete, sufficient. Seeing this and trusting our own primordial presence the delusion of ignorance, grasping and isolation dissolves by itself.

Dzogchen Thögal is the revelation of the energy of the unborn space of mind. James will also touch lightly on that topic.

Guido Ferrari interviewed James Low in Milan in November 2012 and asked him about love, about love between two people, about love and sexuality in spiritual traditions and about happiness. "How can we achieve this?", he asks.
Guru Rinpoche, painted by the 17th Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje:
Guru Rinpoche or Padmasambhava is one of the main figures
in the original introduction of Buddhism into Tibet.
Lineage is something that is very important not only in Buddhism, but also in oriental and martial arts, and to
some extent also in fields such as jazz and classical music, academic studies, the arts, in sports and in
professional cooking. In crafts and in trades, in the past, Guilds were responsible for training people and
ensuring that standards were maintained and successful techniques passed on, thus maintaining a lineage.
People had a sense of pride in belonging to such a lineage and in supporting and maintaining it. It constitutes
a form of authenticity and guarantee of what is being done. It also provides a sense of belonging and fellowship,
and fosters a sense of responsibility both to the lineage as such and other members of it, and to those outside
who are served by the lineage.
So, in Buddhism where there is a lineage we are said to be the recipient of its blessings, if we open ourselves
to them. It is not sufficient to read a book or even to just engage in a practice. If we are to genuinely develop
we also need to receive the ‘rain of blessings’ of the lineage masters, in the same way that a crop needs to
receive rain if it is to grow and yield fruit. This is something that can be directly experienced, and is not an
article of faith or dogma. The lineage is related to because doing so works to make a significant difference,
that is all. It inspires us and supports us, enabling us to develop and to grow. We also know that where there
is a lineage we are not becoming involved in some distorted cult or mistaken, and perhaps even harmful ideas,
or the product of some ego-trip or business deal.
In entering into a lineage it is also like becoming a member of a family where one has the benefit of illustrious
forebears – great masters who were fully awakened and compassionate beings. This gives a feeling of security and
confidence, as well as delight, that all is well. One has wonderful examples to inspire. Without sacrificing ones
own individuality, or slavishly copying, one can become fully and authentically oneself. Just as a poet, composer,
or artist begins by imitating or copying the great masters only to end up discovering their own unique ‘voice’.
Having someone to model and imitate is a very important part of discovering ‘who you really are’ if you are to
develop spiritually.
