Chögyal Namkhai Norbu: Buddha Shakyamuni's Twentyone Praises to Tara (MP3 + booklet)
The "Twenty One Praises to Tara", whose Sanskrit text is found in the Kangyur, were uttered by Buddha Shakyamuni and have been taught since ancient times. Their chanting, in which the 21 main manifestations of the Goddess are praised one by one, is one of the most widespread forms of Tara practice.
There are few Tibetans who do not know these praises by heart. They are practiced several times a day in every Tibetan monastery all around the world, and over the centuries innumerable benefits and miracles have been attributed to their recitation. Each time one wishes to obtain the help of Tara for any particular reason, it is these Praises that are recited many times, both by monks and lay people.
The family of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu asked a lama to carry out a continuous recitation of these 21 Praises to propitiate the birth of a son, and it was after one year of this retreat that he was conceived.
The practice of the 21 Praises, as presented here for the first time by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, is special in many respects. Instead of the Tibetan translation which is normally used, the original Sanskrit verses are sung according to a melody heard by Rimpoche in a dream. The commentary to the meaning of the verses is based on a text by the great Sakyapa master Jetsun Tragpa Gyaltsedn (1374-1434)

Chögyal Namkhai Norbu: Guru Jnanadakini Thugthig: Teachings and practice
This book, based on teachings given in Crimea (2005), at Merigar (2005), and at Namgyalgar (2009), combines instructions conveying a general understanding of the three paths of liberation (Sutra, Tantra, and Dzogchen) with detailed teachings on the Guru Jnanadakini practice, part of the Longchen Osal Khandroi Nyingthig series. Before learning about the practice of Jnanadakini, it is important to understand what is meant by Jnanadakini. We should not think of her as a kind of lady or a sort of statue. Jñanadakini is related with our knowledge, our understanding. The instant presence we talk about is Jnanadakini. If we are not in that state, Jñanadakini does not exist. She is the essence of all Jnanadakinis or wisdom dakinis, the union of all three kayas. The dharmakaya aspect is Samantabhadri; the sambhogakaya aspect is Guhyajnana (Sangwa Yeshe in Tibetan); one nirmanakaya manifestation is Gomadevi and another is Mandarava. Her real essence is the state of our teacher manifesting in the form of the Wisdom Dakini. This is why we call her Guru Jnanadakini.
This book is intended only for those who have received the related transmissions of the teaching from the Master.

Chögyal Namkhai Norbu: Guruyoga
In Dzogchen teaching, the practice of Guruyoga is indispensable because it is the root of all practices; if we follow the teaching, the first thing to do is Guruyoga. Some people learn highly complicated methods and are satisfied with that, but they do not do Guruyoga; this is not good, because in that case it is as if the root of the teaching is missing: the connection to the teacher and the transmission. Guruyoga practice according to Dzogchen means going directly to the essence. In fact, the teaching explains that the condition of Buddha or the dharmakaya coincides with our profound nature, so there is no need to look for it outside of ourselves. The word Guru indicates the understanding we receive from the teacher, which is nothing other than the teacher and our real nature. Guruyoga means to actually be in that state with him in the same instant. There are many practices that go by this name, but the essential meaning of Guruyoga is to be in the state of instant presence that you were first introduced to by your teacher. Guruyoga permits us to find ourselves in that state again. The first part of this book contains a general explanation of Guruyoga, its meaning and its aspects related to view, meditation and behavior. The second part contains the Guruyogas mostly applied in the Dzogchen Community, the methods for introducing the rigpa state and the empowerments for the Guruyoga worldwide transmission.

Chögyal Namkhai Norbu: The Four Methods of Developement
The way to identify the birth year elements of an individual and the elements of the current year. Buddha has clearly explained the turning of the wheel of existence by means of the twelve links of interdependence: ignorance, volition, consciousness, name and form, sense bases, contact, sensation, desire, attachment, becoming, birth, old age, and death. Accordingly, in the astrology of the elements taught by Arya Manjushri, all the aspects of the year, month, day, and time, are determined on the basis of the twelve-year cycle of mouse, ox, tiger, hare, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, bird, dog, and pig. This twelve-year cycle is also combined with the five elements, wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, with alternate female and male years. On the basis of these astrological periods, one can ascertain both the elemental condition of the present year and the elemental condition of the birth year. When, on the basis of the mother-son-enemy-friend relationship, conflict exists between the elements of life, body, capacity, and fortune of the year of birth, and the corresponding elements of the current year, it is important to eliminate the negative factors by means of the fourfold method which increase one's life, body, capacity, and fortune.

DZOGCHEN TEACHINGS on the Longsal Terma - Tashigar
Oral Commentary on the Longsal Terma "The Opening of the Gate to the State of Ati", given at the retreat in Tashigar South, 26th December - 1st January 2001
Rinpoche says:
I received this teaching in a dream from my master Changchub Dorje, but the teaching is not his, it is from Guru Padmasambhava, and explains in a very simple way how we can enter into the knowledge of Ati.
One night I dreamed I was in the place where my master Changchub Dorje lived and in the dream I said to him, “In eastern Tibet there is a big revolution, no one can lead a normal life anymore, and now all these turmoils are breaking out in central Tibet too, so even if we want to practise we can’t, and if we want to learn the teachings and practise Dharma we don’t get much chance: what can we do in such a situation?” My master replied, “I gave you an essential teaching, condensed, just right for this kind of situation; it is called Ati Gojed; ati means primordial state, knowledge, go means gate, jed means to open, and so it means how to open the gate of knowledge. With this teaching you can not just receive the knowledge but you can apply it”.

Dzogchen Teachings. Merigar, 6-11 July 2001
It is important when we are doing a retreat, that you try to listen to what is being transmitted and what is being said. You must be aware of this and try to listen attentively. I have had this experience again and again that I explain something today and repeat it again the next day. Then the day after that someone wants to talk to me and they ask me something that I had already just explained over the last couple of days. Then, I sometimes say, “But you didn´t listen to what I told you”. If you really listen well, then you will get all the answers. It is sufficient that you observe yourselves a little and listen carefully. This is important because the teaching is not only a technique about how you sit and how you do practice. The teaching is also about how to live your life within society. This is what we need to know above all. For example, even if the teaching doesn’t tell you how to work in your shop, when you are there, it can show you how to work with your mind and your existence. Through the teaching, you can learn how to guide your mind and how to deal with your situation.

Mandarava Tsalung Practices
The Tsalung practices contained in this book belong to Longsal Cycle of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu.
As Rinpoche explained: “The most important part of all Tantric practices is Tsalung. What does this word really mean? Tsa means channels; lung means prana energy – so altogether it means how the prana is related with the channels and how we should work with these.
We always prepare to do the Tsalung practices by doing the main practice of Mandarava. Also you remember that Mandarava manifests the three Kayas. We stay in the presence of whichever aspect is necessary for the particular practice we are doing.
Here we are explaining Tsalung practices which put a lot of emphasis on heat. If people are living in a warm place they wonder why we need even more heat. Even if the weather is warm it doesn’t mean we have developed our inner heat. What we need to develop is inner heat because it is important for discovering and developing sensation. The sensation of pleasure is one of the most important means for having knowledge and realization. If we don’t develop inner heat we don’t have that possibility.
When you do these practices in a perfect way, relaxing in the sensation of the pleasure feeling and staying in this presence, combining it with the visualisation, you can obtain the following benefits: all the self-perfected, lhundrub qualities arise; also you automatically overcome attachment to food and you can easily integrate and stay in instant presence for ever. It also becomes a very important purification of negative karma and any kinds of obstacles. Your clarity will manifest and develop and you will be able to go beyond your limitations.”

SANG OFFERING AND SERKYEM OF THE EIGHT CLASSES
This very short Sang Offering was written by Adzom Drugpa, a great Dzogchen master gifted with profound understanding and a discoverer of many termas.
The Sang rite is principally for purification and, in particular, for purifying the energy of the individual. It is said, in fact, that every individual possesses five divinities corresponding to five types of energy that protect and maintain the positive aspects of the individual. When one’s own protective energy is weakened, one becomes passive and vulnerable to negative influences, so the Sang rite purifies the obstacles and negative forces linked to the place in which one lives, because the local guardians and their energy also influence the individual.
This Degyed Serkyem is a very special Serkyem. It was composed by Nub Sangye Yeshe, a very important Dzogchen practitioner who was also a very powerful Vajrayana practitioner. Degyed Serkyem is a rite for making contact or communicating with the Eight Classes and particularly with the local guardians. Generally in the place and country we are living in there are always many local guardians. Many people don’t believe very much in local guardians and spirits etc. Some people say, “I believe only in a kind of energy, but not in different kinds of beings”. Some people consider this is a very modern idea but really it is not a modern idea; rather it is a very limited idea.

TEACHINGS AT SINABELKIRCHEN, Austria, October 25th-27th 2002
When we speak of the Dzogchen teaching, first of all we need to understand what Dzogchen is: we must understand that Dzogchen is not a teaching but is our real condition. Dzogchen means the totally perfected state, which means that we have three primordial wisdoms and three primordial potentialities. Since we already have these, everything is perfected. If we are really in that condition, then we are no different to the Buddha or a Bodhisattva and realized beings. It is not enough only to have an idea of this, even to have just a small experience. Of course it is useful to have this small experience of the Dzogchen state, but then there are ways to increase this knowledge, which means that there is the possibility of integrating all our experience of body, speech and mind into that state.

Teachings on Lojongs, Rushens, and Semdzins
The Seven Lojongs or Mind Trainings belong to the Dzogchen Upadesha tradition and have been included in the Base Level of the Santi Maha Sangha as preliminaries to the fundamental practices of Dzogchen. The first six trainings are a reflection on the principle of the Four Awarenesses and on the value of the Master and the Teachings. The seventh, which comprises three methods linked to visualization and breathing, aims at leading the practitioner to an understanding of the state of contemplation through three specific experiences. In all traditions of Dzogchen Upadesha the practice of Khorde Rushen is considered to be fundamental as a base or starting point. In some traditions it is spoken of as Ngöndro practice, that is as preparation. Nevertheless we need to understand very clearly its principle and function because it is not a preliminary practice as it is usually meant, but is a practice that introduces contemplation. The Semdzins are highly effective both as a method for distinguishing the pure presence of rigpa from the dualistic mind and for removing the doubts that arise from our experience in practice. The explanation of the seven Semdzins contained is essentially based on a text of instructions of the master Adzam Drugpa, The Essence of Wisdom (’Od gsal rdzogs pa chen po yang gsang bla na ned pa spyi’i khyad par gyi khrid yig lam bzang ye shes snying po).

They are contained in the Instructions on Dzogchen Semde According to Nyang’s System by the master Sogdogpa Lodrö Gyaltsen (1552-1624), who wrote down an oral tradition going back to Vairochana the Translator and subsequently known as The System of Nyang, transmitted by the master Nyang Chograb Zhönnu. As well as furnishing methods for discovering the state of contemplation in a more or less direct way according to the practitioner’s capacity, this text also contains interesting references to the meditative experiences of Mahamudra according to masters of the Drugpa Kagyüdpa tradition.The explanations are taken from an oral commentary given by the master Chögyal Namkhai Norbu during the Christmas retreat at Merigar in 1991.

The Dzogchen State and the Semdzin with the Syllable Phat
These Teachings were given at Merigar in August 1994. During the retreat Chögyal Namkhai Norbu said: “Those who do not know what the state of contemplation or of Dzogchen, that is our real condition, means, need to use a Semdzin, for example the Semdzin with the PHAT. The teaching I am transmitting to you goes back through the lineage to Samantabhadra and the Twelve Primordial Teachers of Dzogchen. With the power of the lineage and the transmission you develop knowledge. PHAT by itself is not enough, you need to connect with the transmission. The PHAT serves to discover our state and the transmission serves to develop and realize it.”

The Essence of the Three Statements of Garab Dorje Based on an Oral Advice by Khyenrab Chökyi Özer
This transcription of the teachings transmitted in New York in 1999 contains the text of the four lines written by the master Khyenrab Chökyi Özer and the related oral commentary by Rinpoche. Among other things Chögyal Namkhai Norbu is saying: "Some people say that to practice the Dzogchen teachings you don´t need a teacher or transmission, you can learn it from a book and then you can apply it. This is a very wrong view. In Western countries today they are developing this kind of tradition or school but you must not follow it... Since Garab Dorje until today the transmission has continued without interruption. If there is no transmission you cannot enter into real knowledge, it´s impossible. That is why here it is saying that really you can have that knowledge only if you are connected with the three transmissions... To really enter into this knowledge by just reading books is a fantasy." This book contains a picture of Khyenrab Chökyi Özer, by courtesy of Rinpoche himself, and the Tibetan text of the four lines written by his Master, translated by Adriano Clemente.

The Four Contemplations of the Semde, Transcription of the oral Teachings given in Nea Macri (Greece), December 1986
In general Dzogchen isn´t considered to be a method of the mind but of rigpa, instant presence... The way of the mind uses reasoning while the method of Dzogchen is to go directly, from the beginning, to the state of presence. Thus in Semde the word sem, mind, doesn´t refer to ordinary mind but to an abbreviation of the Tibetan expression changchubsem (in Sanskrit bodhichitta) which indicates our real condition, also called primordial state. To attain the knowledge of this condition one uses the Semde methods."

The Practice of Long Life and Chüdlen of Mandarava - An Oral Commentary
The practice of Mandarava is a teaching that Chögyal Namkhai Norbu received personally when he was in Maratika. The title of this teaching is Chimed Khandro Sogthig (The Heart Thigle of the Dakini of Immortality). There are seven supreme methods of nectar connected with this practice, that is to say, seven main methods for preparing Chüdlen. These nectars are also a condition for realizing the Body of Light. In these teachings, given at Merigar in 1986, Rinpoche said, “This Chüdlen is connected to a Long Life Practice. In general Long Life Practice is useful for strengthening one’s protective energy. This is important in all senses. To be able to have some realization through certain practices, first of all one needs to be healthy and free from physical problems. Even if you are not dedicating yourself only to the practice you need to live well in daily life, and you only live well when you do not have problems, that is, when your energy is perfect and especially when your protective energy is healthy. If your energy has some weak points it needs to be reinforced, so we have to know how to do that. This is one of the principles of the Long Life Practice. Many people think that the Long Life Practice is a kind of prayer, just to receive a kind of blessing, but it’s not like that. This practice means working with oneself, using visualization, mantras and Chüdlen pills.”

In 2006 Chögyal Namkhai Norbu transmitted several times the very precious healing mantra called Dorjei Kotrab.

If you know this mantra you don’t need to go after ‘mantra healing’ anymore, because this is the supreme ‘mantra healing’. With it, you can benefit others, as well as protect yourself.”
