Compassion Series (18): The Characteristics of a Dharma Practitioner with ‘Realisations’

Compassion Series (18): The Characteristics of a Dharma Practitioner with ‘Realisations’
This is the eighteenth episode of a series on the “Visualization Practice of Compassion and Bodhicitta”. For over 1,000 years, many people have misinterpreted and misunderstood the contents of both the “Heart Sutra” and the “Diamond Sutra”, that of the oral pith-instructions of the “Great Perfection” (Dzogchen), as well as that of “Emptiness”, resulting in the physical madness of many Dharma practitioners. Some of these people, who had gone astray into the wrong path, slowly developed into such kind of tradition and practices known as the “Crazy Wisdom”, and that many of their disciples have suffered from great pains and abuses, and the harms that they have done are, indeed, immense. What will be the consequences in misinterpreting the oral pith-instructions of the “Great Perfection” (Dzogchen)? Why did this “Crazy Wisdom” has done such great harms, to both the Buddhist individuals and communities, in both the West and across the world? How large, how broad and how deep these harms had been done to the whole Buddhist community across the world, and to all sentient beings? This whole series will teach on how to practice the Holy Dharma, especially using the “Choying Dzod” (“The Precious Treasury of the Basic Space of Phenomena”, one of the great masterpieces of Longchen Rabjampa) as the main focus on the teachings of the “Great Perfection” (Dzogchen) of Nyingmapa, to synthesize on the visualization practice of both compassion and bodhicitta in our everyday life experiences. At the same time, it will also compare the Dharma practices of the “Great Perfection” (Dzogchen) with that of the underlying deepest levels of secret meanings in the important sutras of the “Heart Sutra” and the “Diamond Sutra”. In so doing, this will help to right the wrongs on the misinterpretations and misleads that the misconception of “Emptiness” has done to many a Dharma practitioners for over 1,000 years.
