Lol, Tony, it looks like a really long answer to me ! I thought you said you were a Dzogchen practitioner?

If you notice an emotion arising and just relax into it completely, it dissolves....poot !

No need for excessive analysis and labelling

Which Nyingma organisation do you practice with ? Rigpa?

No need for analysis? Analytical meditation is part of practice in my tradition, I love it! It's a bit like being a spiritual engineer, noticing the slight changes in attitude and view. Knowing the different between the eight consciousness (alaya) and rigpa. Relaxing into an emotion does do it for my, knowing the wisdom quality does! Hey, each to their own!

We can practice to feel better, but that can become a little sticky! Dzogchen is just an simple view, quite ordinary. Talking about it can take many words. I go on several retreats a year one is intensive in Colorado, a month long. The lama talks, and talks and talks, we take a topic apart. It is not at all a waste of time.

We all go to what satisfies us, and it may be slightly different to one another. There is no right or wrong. On the path to enlightenment perception changes, at each level the same words are used but the experience is different.

Sogyal Rinpoche is not my teacher, but is excellent.

All the best,
Tony
