Zen et dzogchen Rouen

Freedom for Tibet...!

Q: How do you recognize that your students have learned your teaching well? What qualities should they manifest?

NN:When students understand the knowledge of Dzogchen, they do not have many tensions, they do not have many problems of samsara; they can understand how the condition of samsara is and how the real condition is They are more relaxed and more present, not always conditioned by tensions and emotions.

Q: Could you please recommend three Dharma principles which are the most important for cultivating the mind in everyday life?

NN: For example, there is the Dharma principle in the Mahayana Sutra which says that we should check which kind of intention we have and always cultivate good intention and if there is possibility to benefit others we should always be ready to do that. This is what we need.

Q: What are, in your opinion, the fundamental principles of Buddhist ethics?

NN: It depends If you are follower of the teaching then you must be present, it’s the most important thing in the teaching. If you are being present, you are doing everything with awareness and working with circumstances, helping others, paying respect to others, and so on.

Q: Do you believe that different Buddhist traditions (Theravada, Zen, Vajrayana) or even other spiritual teachings (Christianity, Yoga, Shamanism, Judaism, Islam, etc.) have the same spiritual goal and result?

NN: I’m Dzogchen practitioner, I know all those Buddhist paths, their conditions and their essence. We unify the essences of all the paths and then apply it. Of course, we pay respect to them, but that doesn’t mean I believe that I should do everything they do. Not that way. When we have fundamental knowledge of Dzogchen teaching, we can integrate everything, even Christian or some other tradition It does not necessarily have to be the Buddhist tradition. All teachings are going more or less in the same direction but in a very different way. That is what I believe.

Q: What do you wish the most?

The biggest wish for me? Now that I have all the responsibility for my students, [I wish] they would do everything in a perfect way, that they would realize and do the same as I have been doing for the benefit of all sentient beings This is my biggest wish.

Q: Are you sometimes angry or sad? How do you deal with it?

NN: Of course. You see, anger is one of the emotions I can have all kind of emotions because I’m still “flesh and bones” I have a normal physical body, I drink tea and I eat food so, of course, if someone makes me angry, I can get angry. But it’s not that I’m always angry and think: “This is a bad thing, this is a bad person”. Because I’m practitioner, I go with my presence. I integrate my presence as much as possible in instant presence, knowing how our real nature is. This is the principle of the Dzogchen teaching.

[LA PENSÉE DE LA SEMAINE]

La troisième forme de paresse, c'est de ne pas prendre conscience de ce qui est vraiment important. Par exemple, ne pas se rendre compte qu'il est essentiel de donner un sens à son existence, et se dire qu'il y a cent petites tâches à terminer avant de se consacrer à ce qui compte vraiment dans la vie. Evidemment, ces tâches ne cesseront de se succéder, comme les vagues de l'océan. On peut espérer que les vagues cesseront un jour, mais, à moins de laisser tomber ses activités, même inachevées, il n'y aura jamais de fin. Le risque alors est de ne jamais se préoccuper de ce qui compte vraiment.

[THE TOUGHT OF THE WEEK]

The third form of laziness is not being aware of what is truly important. For example, not realizing that it is essential to give meaning to one's existence and thinking that there are a hundred small tasks to complete before dedicating oneself to what truly matters in life. Obviously, these tasks will continue to pile up like ocean waves. One may hope that the waves will cease one day, but unless one abandons their activities, even unfinished ones, there will never be an end. The risk then is to never pay attention to what truly matters.
