Live Story of the Oral Tradition (2) -unpublished manuscript: མཚན་མོ་གཅིག་གི་རྨི་ལམ༎ (Dreaming in A Night 一夜之梦)

Below was a chat with the author, Kunde Rinpoche of the below book, about another interesting manuscript he had shared in a site (Tibetan language, from the narration, apparently had also stirred some heated discussion from the young Tibetan who had viisted that site). This chat had related connections and virtues with the contents of the published book below:

[Note : Q= Interviewer, A = Interviewee (Rinpoche, or Tulku). Bracket ( ) - notes added for clarity, [ ] - expression]

Q: Rinpoche, i had asked about this manuscript before in 2009, a few months after we met you.  But your answer was just smiles only.  Now, i wonder am i ready to understand about this dream you have, and i could share with people who have affinity.

A : um..About the article i had written on མཚན་མོ་གཅིག་གི་རྨི་ལམ༎ (Dreaming in A Night 一夜之梦) [copy & pasted here from Rinpoche's blog. Reference: www.tulkukonde.blogspot.com]

Q: In your book, it has mentioned one of the Dzogchen (Great Perfection) practice is "Clear Light Dream" practice.  It sounded not an easy practice, cos' for common uncultivated mind like ours, we can't even control our dreams or sleeping, not to mention interpreting dreams!

A:  "Clear Light Dream" is very specialized mind cultivation practice.  You need a recognized Master to guide you.

Q: Back to the 'beautiful lady' appeared in that Dreaming Night [laughter]. What is the symbolic significance in Dzogchen practice, which might be misinterpreted as 'sensual' indulgence from worldly lustful thoughts! (traditional practice may view as sensual disire! :D-)

A: This happened when i was practising under instructions of my root Lama, Lodoe Gyatso in Dzogchen Shriseng Monastery. One night i had this dream of a beautiful lady. Later i consulted my Dzogchen Master, Lodoe Gyatso.

Q: Yes, after going through the challenging processes of publishing your book, now i understand the rule that the practioners of Dzogchen (Great Perfection) required to learn and receiving instructions from a recognized Master of this tradition. For a beginner like me, it is such difficult to understand even intellectually of part 2 and part 3 in the contents of your book.

A: We learned and practise for years in Dzogchen Shriseng Monastery (daily woke up at 5.00a.m. - 12.00p.m.) and the three-years retreat, Dzogchen Master would 'checked' and watched us daily, periodically (feedbacks of phenomena arises and experienced) during the three years, three months and three days (? sonam yeshi had not recorded the no. of days properly in her mind while chatting).

Q: Sorry to sidetrack, back to the 'secret' of the dream (symbolic interaction?)...

A: My Master, Lodoe Gyatso, said that i should practise Dzogchen (Great Perfection) practices. This is a symbolic of the Dharma Protector, Ekadzati (一支佛母) in Dzogchen, Nyingma Tradition. 

Q: Tulku, from the depth of your respect towards your root Lama, Lodoe Gyatso (including commissioned an art image), and requested us to venerate him as our root Lama as a beginner in our mind, learning the Part 1 practice under your guidance (instead of visualize Tulku's picture)!

A: My root Lama is the continuous transmission of Dzogchen lineage in the history of Dzogchen. (-2001. please refer the other post mentioned of some of the Master's Dzogchen practice students, Khenpo Jikme Phuntsok Rinpoche, Kyabje Pema Kalsang Rinpoche etc.)   His Wiscom and Compassion is the essence of my veneration (and our veneration)

Note: The manuscript of Dzogchen history of the author, under translation in Dharamsala, Research & Translation Dept, Library of Tibetan Works and Archives, 2009-

Q:Thank you, Tulku for your sharing on this Great Master, i found your live stories in your experiences very amazing, enlightening...

[8/24/2011 5:46:48 PM]  :BTW - Tulku's book. Why need to sell so expensive?
[8/24/2011 5:47:23 PM] :Sorry to say that but if your wish to generate profit from books, it's pretty slim chance.
.....
[8/24/2011 5:49:07 PM] - we have did some 'market' research on prices about dzogchen practice book - the price also reflects its uniqe teaching. profit is secondary.  it probably can sell better in the west (cos' of more dzogchen pratitioners?)
[8/24/2011 5:50:22 PM] - if you read this book, it is unique, even i find part 2 & 3 difficult to understand
[8/24/2011 5:51:45 PM] : only real practitioner will buy. Non practitioner will not understand the depth of the book. Let me share with you, Taiwanese Rinpoche also translated a practice book for sales. But he make a comment "As this is practice books, usually Centre will buy one book and makes copies after that" so the books cant sell if go for printing"
[8/24/2011 5:53:08 PM]: As Tulku book only 100pages (xiv, ill.; 128), to buy a book and send for copy is not a difficult task.
[8/24/2011 5:54:46 PM] - the illustrations - the peaceful & wrathful 100 buddhas (deities) & his great master - Lodoe Gyatso (color image) made phtotocopying impossible (may be scanning?)
[8/24/2011 5:55:32 PM] - also the 100 buddhas is the only piece of illustration (color image) known by tulku which has all in one piece of art.
[8/24/2011 5:58:56 PM] - the idea/inspiration was from the Rinpche (forgot the name in the book) who had 'passed away' - credit given by his Lama.  and this lama is planning to build a monastery in India under his name (at South India near Dzogchen Monastery), from the narration, this Rinpoche is coming back to continue his work. thus, later we may have to contribute based on book sales
[8/24/2011 6:02:33 PM] - i think to buy this book itself is a blessing - one of my friends a christian, diagnosed with cancer before, and immune system down. plus both parents sick off and on... (father diagnosed with cancer also) but she seems have affinity with Tulku's 'mani' & blessings.  Lakely got bronchitis, i brought Tulku to see her - she bought the book, and reported that night itself her lungs' ribs pain subsiding & recovering well (even weeks of medicine didnt work for her)! - believe it or not :-D) (sounded esoteric!)

[8/24/2011 6:03:40 PM] : I can understand the important and precious of the contents. If the idea is to reach a bigger audience and readers then it should be made affordable to all  and not only to the needy/medical conditions readers
[8/24/2011 6:10:29 PM] - haha, thanks for concerns over distributions/sales. i see Tulku such confident over his book (one westerner, former translator of Dzogchen rinpoche even 'advise' him not to publish his book - cos it will make him 'famous' but he worries of 'abuse' of this reveals of all the secret teachings thus far only in Tibetan - except 1-2 practices had been translated to english. i did read some books review with the title name dzogchen from scholarly database, this is the only complete manual of dzogchen pratice!!!
[8/24/2011 6:14:00 PM] - Thus i can imagine why the 7th Dzogchen Rinpoche (verbally) supported to be published. Thanks to HH Pema Kalsang immediately wrote Words of Praise upon reading his manuscript
[8/24/2011 6:14:50 PM] : Ok. Your may have different strategy on the sales of the book. Just hope its well accepted and having the 2nd print very soon.
[8/24/2011 6:15:27 PM] : ok. Chat again other time
[8/24/2011 6:17:18 PM] - bye (yn)

ABSTRACT

His Eminence Kunde Rinpoche has composed this book in 3 parts for readers who are interested in Buddhism in general and Dzogchen practice of Vajrayana Buddhism in particular. Dzogchen, literally “Great Perfection’ is the primary teaching of Nyingmapa school of Tibetan Buddhism. The book is presented in questions and answers form to provide structural learning processes from preliminary practice path in part 1 for beginners to understand the basic principles of  how one should generate one’s mind to prevent afflictive emotions, conditions to practice the Dharma, understanding of the six realms of existence and methods of purifying wrongdoings, etc. Part 2 concisely provided the teachings and learning manuals on the method of actualizing Buddhahood in one life time through one physical body by first practicing the Shamatha (calm-abiding) Mediation to the inexhaustible treasure of highly secret great perfection practice (Atiyoga). The Clear Light Great Perfection practice consists of four parts: trekcho (cutting through) practice, thogal (leap-over) practice, clear light dream practice, and phowa practice.  Finally, part 3 describes the intermediate state (Bardo) experience of Peaceful and Wrathful deities, as His Holiness Pema Kalsang puts it in his Words of Praise,  “guides us, such as how one should nakedly experience the great unconditioned dharmakaya during the intermediate state” based on Dzogchen practice.

Live Story from the Oral Tradition (1) - LODOE GYATSO (1930-2001)

Posted by Sonam Yeshi
1st revised on August 29, 2011

Chat with H.E. Kunde Rinpoche - Sonam Yeshi. Transcribed in Q&A format (herein address as Tulku) in July 2011

Note: The name of Master Lodoe Gyatso was initially translation to English as Golok A-kong Tokden Rinpoche in this blog by Karma Khenpo and Jangchub Dorje (Lama). After seeking clarification from Kunde Rinpoche, "Golok" is the geographical place of Master's home/monastery. A cross-reference check on other translated text in Chinese translation, 'Lodoe' (罗珠) is more consistent translation - sonam yeshi, 29 August 2011

Q= sonam yeshi, A=Kunde Rinpoche, Bracket ( ) - notes added for clarity, [ ] - expression

Q: When did you commissioned the art work of your root Lama (Dzogchen Master), Lodoe Gyatso which was inserted as an illustration in your newly published book, First page (A Garland of Flowers: Questions and Answers on the Highly Secret Clear Light Great Perfection/ H.E. Kunde Rinpoche; Translated by Geshe Lhakdor and Dr. Chok Tenzin Monlam.ISBN: 978-967-10552-0-5).

A: In year 2009, at Nepal by an artist.

Q: Can you elaborate on its original idea?

A: I described my ideas and outline of the illustrations to the artist: My root Lama in the middle, the Three Dharma Protectors, and Samantabhadra (空心佛) on utmost top, and scene of surrounding.

Q: How special is your root Lama in the Dzogchen lineage?

A: He had teach and educated (in Khenpo training) /transmit teachings of Dzogchen, and taught many lamas in Dzogchen Shriseng Monastery on Great Perfection practice, many became ‘attained’, very well known Dzogchen Teachers in this century. Among his prominently well-known students are: Khenpo Jikme Phuntsok 法王堪布吉美彭措仁波切 (the Master of Khenpo Sotaji (索达吉堪布) & Tsultim Lodu (慈诚罗珠仁波切), and the living Kyabje Pema Kalsang Rinpoche and Kyabje Patrul Rinpoche (Doptal) of Shriseng Monastery in Tibet.

Q: Any ‘esoteric’ or spiritual story about him? Most critical life experience, like how he passed away?

A: [laughter] uh, many many. Yes, 2 weeks before he passed away, he announced to his students, and requested them to ask questions. Thereafter, every morning he gave dharma talks on Great Perfection and asked us for questions. When his physical body (the 5 elements) started to diminishing (dissolved) to emptiness, without any verbal communication, Kyabje Pema Kalsang Rinpoche arrived just on time to complete his Bodhisattva Vow (to do the special Puja & before the physical elements ‘erupted’,do the necessary according to the teaching tradition (apology - that is out of the transcriber's ability to describe in words).

Q: hey, Tulku, it is just beyond our rational mind of such ‘Art of Dying’ [laughter], lay people & new student to Dzogchen tradition like us. We had witnessed so many sufferings of our loved ones, friends, neighbours etc. dying in many difficult, unexpected & confused stages…

A: [laughter] it sounded very spiritual, but there were many extra-ordinary ‘passing away’ real live evidences in Tibet Buddhism history. Spiritual life is the quintessence of the Tibetan culture (and hope it is preserving well).

Q: Has Master taken rebirth?

A: Yes, in Tibet.

Q: How was this incarnation been recognized?

A: Master had left his written description (predicted) of his rebirth, based on those descriptions, a search was carried out.

Q: Any special ‘signals’or description in the prediction given?

A: Yes, one of these was the geographic district name, another one was the physical birth mark - there would be birthmark of a dharma protector, and he chose to be born in a common family (普通家庭).

Q: Wow, I think any of us would choose a ‘rich or wealthy’ family if we have a choice [laughter]!
A: Yes, my Master is very special - it reflects the essence of Great Compassion of my root Lama’s, Lodoe Gyatso

Q: I am curious, which great Master has recognized him [laughter]?
A: Kyabje Pema Kalsang Rinpoche, and another one by ... Rinpoche (one of his former closed disciples - apology, sonam yeshi cannot remember that Rinpoche’s name mentioned by Tulku)

Q: wow, incarnate to two individuals?

A: [laughter] (Tulku didn’t answer, may be the answer is too deep for words description, or it is beyond my limited and always confused mind’s understanding - sonam yeshi)...

Thank you Tulku, i am such blessed to have opportunities to chat with you, and learning from your humane actions.

Tashi Delek

May the roars of the teachings of Great Perfection be heard by all those who have connections and affinity to the practice. May all beings attain Enlightenment

An Interview with the Author - A Garland of Flowers: Questions and Answers on the Highly Secret Clear Light Great Perfection

Below is an interview between H.E. Kunde Rinpoche & Sonam Yeshi regarding his newly released book publication in print, conducted on on 5 August 2011.

Book title : A Garland of Flowers: Questions and Answers on the Highly Secret Clear Light Great Perfection.
Author : H.E. Kunde Rinpoche; Translated by Geshe Lhakdor and Dr. Chok Tenzin Monlam
ISBN: 978-967-10552-0-5
Published date: 29 July 2011

[Note : Q= Interviewer, A = Interviewee (Rinpoche). Bracket ( ) - notes added for clarity, [ ] - expression]
Q: Rinpoche, how long did you take to wriite this book in original language, Tibetan?
A : about 10 years

Q: What is your initial intention in writing this book?
A: Initially, i thought our lamas (monks) in Horthang Tashi Monastery need a concise teaching approach in learning the Great Perfection practice. After i had written volumes (parts) I and II in Tibetan, the feedback from many lamas and lay people in the College of Horthang Tashi Monastery like it and found it simple to understand yet profound in the contents.

Q: What is the uniqueness of this book that depart it from those published books in English with the title name of "Dzogchen" terminology?
A: Many books used the term 'Great Perfection' but did not concisely compiled all the major Dzogchen practice in one book (for various reasons). In the early history the tradition of transmission of Dzogchen practitice (in Tibet) was using oral tradition of one-to-one (Master to student). So far, the complete set in Dzogchen practice, entitled Yeshe Lama was written by Longchen Rabjam in Tibetan language**, originally carved in wood blocks. Printed in Tibetan language have 7 volumes. Nevertheless, it only convered Trekcho (cutting-through*) and Thogal (leap-over), but not including Phowa, Clear like Dream Practice and Bardo (Intermediate State). Many famous resources are still in Tibetan language, some might have been translated by different translation groups.

(*some publications translated Trekcho as "Thorough cut (thregcho)", "Cutting through solidity" , "Cutting through all attchment"etc.)

**Note: Readers interested in an English translated publication may refer: The Practice of Dzogchen by Longchen Rabjam, Introduced, translated and annotated by Tulku Thondup. Snow Lion Publications, Ithaca, New York, Boulder, Colorado, 2002)

Q: What are the advantages for the readers of A Garland of Flowers?
A: [laughter] It is a practical book of knowledge for those interested in Dzogchen practice, or Great Perfection practice. I have taken years to synthesize these mentioned few approaches or techniques (in the book) for lamas, practioners, and lay people who are interested in this quintessential practise of Tibetan Buddhism. Usually practitioner will concentrate on one particular practice such as Phowa practice, or Clear like Dream Practice, or Trekcho practice etc. The readers will have an advantage of an overview of Dzogchen practice, or Great Perfection practice in this one book publication. For non-practioners, it may be just for knowledge, research and comparative studies in religion, especially in regards to different spiritual traditions of Buddhism - Dzogs-pa chenpo (Dzogchen).

Q: [uh], and then, can you say further?
A: Longchen Rabjam had written seven (7) volumes in Great Perfection practice on Trekcho (cutting-through*) and Thogal (leap-over). Guru Rinpoche's teaching Bardo (title, in Tibetan) consists of 2 volumes which includes Trekcho (cutting-through*) and Thogal (leap-over), Phowa practice, Clear like Dream Practice. Firstly, they are very very difficult to be understood for lay people and beginner practitioners. Secondly, it is big and bulky and take years to digest even for practitioners. Moreover, one needs to read many books to understand all the major practices in Dzogchen (Great Perfection) tradition. Thus, i had concisely synthesized all these most important Dzogchen practice in one book - A Garland of Flowers - as a skillful mean for those interested in this teaching, especially the practitioners.

Q: One common question - why is this publication pricy [laughter] to the eyes of some people, or local buddhists here in Malaysia, or even Asia?
A: Those books are cheap (e.g.RM20-RM30) are compilation of Dharma Talks of teachers, general theoretically written books which researchers in Buddhism could write with good language skills, and NOT the practical Dzogchen practice which needs long years of practising, retreats and learning under the instructions of a recognized Dzogchen Master as well as learning theoretically its method in a Buddhist College with long traditon of Dzogchen practice (such as Dzogchen Shriseng Monastery). Thus it is an invaluable treasure as a book publication. In the past, the Tibetan king had used all the gold to preserve this teaching!

Q: Lastly, before we end our conversation, do you have anything else to share with the readers on this blog?
A: This Great Perfection practice is not meant for people who do not practice those basic Buddhist teachings or meditation. One needs to lay the faoundations (preliminary practice) of Taking Refuge in the Three Jewels, （三皈依） Arising of the Heart Bodhicitta (发菩提心）, Offering of Mandala and practicing Prostration （大礼拜）, ten thousand times each practice.

Q: huh, ten thousands?
A: Yes, ten thousands each practice, then only practice the Visualization of Vajrasattva. But in view of the 'business' of lay people, you must recite the prayer of the preliminary practice of Dzogpa Chenpo Longchen Nyingthig, and practise Vajrasattva visualization. After that, you may gradually learn and practise the other Dzogchen practice stated in A Garland of Flowers, part 2 and part 3 under a recognized Dzogchen master. It is not meant for curiosity and fsacination you wanna practice Trekcho and Thogal after you learned these two terms from my book [laughter] - like one of my local friends expressed to myself [laughter].

Q: Thank you very much to Kunde Rinpoche for spending your precious time chatting with me on this very profound and interesting book.
A: Thank you. Tashi Delek

May all beings be Well and Happy. May the merits gain in this publication be shared with all sentient beings, and for those who practise the Path to Enlightenment.

Tashi Delek.
