hagar Posted October 28, 2021 Hei på dere Since I´m getting older and memory lapses are on the 'plate de jour', Sitting and forgetting practice has become so much easier. Also, I´ve boiled down whatever I´ve been wasting my time doing for the last 25 years as just stopping the struggle. Question for all you people; where can I get good, evidence-based source-material on Zouwang? Preferably in Norwegian, but English will do. h 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobB Posted November 1, 2021 Hej*! A type of Sitting and Forgetting forms part of the Shen Dan in Daxuan school. (https://sergeaugier.com/courses/daoist-cultivation/) There are some long term students in Oslo who might be able to discuss further (in Norwegian!) : [email protected] * Sorry - Swedish I know...

steve Posted December 4, 2021 I would also add that a study of the basic practice of dzogchen from the Bön or Buddhist traditions will be an excellent resource as the essence of the practice is very similar. Nice to see you @hagar 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hagar Posted December 9, 2021 Nice to see you Steve =) Will mos def look into dzogchen. Read up on it a bit but mostly cerebral stuff. Good to check in. Hope things are well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope things are well. @hagar Fair point, most of the writings can get far too theoretical. I think that is related to the fact that the actual “practice” is so simplistic. One very good and practical approach can be found in the book “Awakening the Luminous Mind” by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. The first half of the book teaches a practical and accessible approach to dzogchen. The second half teaches a bit more advanced approach. Overall there is very little theory in the book. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johndoe2012 Posted December 3, 2022 @steve Thanks. I read the book in my native language and it clicked somehow in my system. It feels very simple and powerful with good results already. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
