- Il fut l’un des premiers maîtres tibétains à enseigner ouvertement le Dzogchen, ou « Grande Complétude ». Le Dzogchen est un système de contemplation du bouddhisme tibétain qui met l’accent sur la reconnaissance immédiate de notre vraie nature. Namkhai Norbu quitta tôt le Tibet, pour être ensuite invité en Italie, où il passa sa vie active à enseigner le tibétain à Naples. Dans les années 70, il créa la Communauté Dzogchen, fondé sur sa vision unique du Dzogchen. Son organisation est présente partout sur ta planète. IL enseigne un Dzogchen simple, fondé sur le « yoga de l’union au maître » compris comme pratique de la présence de l’instant présent. Le tout est encadré par une liturgie abondante, pleine de mantras, mais sans tibétain. Il transmet tout cela au cours de retraites d’un ou plusieurs jours. Il a de plus mis au point un cursus en neuf étapes pour ceux qui veulent apprendre et enseigner à leur tour l’ensemble des facettes du Dzogchen. Enfin, il a « révélé » un vaste cycle d’enseignements Dzogchen et tantriques, parmi lesquels la « danse du vajra », chorégraphie tantrique dont il existe des versions plus ou moins complexes, avec costumes ou sans, et qui se pratique sur un mandata. Cette danse, ainsi qu’une forme de yoga propre au Dzogchen (le yantra, sont pratiquées et enseignées à Paris lors de stages par des disciples formés par lui.
Son attitude indépendante, sa présentation originale du Dzogchen en dehors du cadre traditionnel de l’école Nyingma, et son charisme impressionnant en font une des grandes figures du non-dualisme tibétain, même si ses visites se font rares. Aujourd'hui âgé, il semble devoir être remplacé par son fils, formé à l’enseignement de son père et aux méthodes du management. - Nationality

Reviews
much of this work is highly specialist stuff on historical linguistics, along w a mix of archaeology, mythology, and anthropology
but the highlight (for me) is the few pages of his most direct musing on the proper relationship bw religion and politics
im a little disappointed it hinges on individualism, but its still smthg to meditate on more, and certainly a good reference point

Rainbow Body: The Life and Realization of a Tibetan Yogin, Togden Ugyen Tendzin by Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
Rainbow Body: The Life and Realization of a Tibetan Yogin, Togden Ugyen Tendzin, presents the remarkable life story of Togden Ugyen Tendzin (1888–1962), a Tibetan yogin who in death achieved the “rainbow body,” the release of the physical body in the essence of the five elements and one of the highest spiritual attainments of Dzogchen, recognized as the supreme level of Tibetan Buddhism. His nephew, Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, one of the greatest living masters of Dzogchen, composed the show more book from his own recollections of his uncle as well as direct quotes from talks with the great yogin himself and his disciple Sala Karma Samten. The book traces the yogin’s childhood struggles, the circumstances that led him to his teacher, the eminent Adzom Drugpa, and his difficult path to self-realization. Finally, Chögyal Namkhai Norbu relates the story of Ugyen Tendzin’s death during imprisonment by the Chinese, when witnesses discovered that though his sheepskin robe still sat upright, his body was gone—a testament to its having dissolved into the rainbow body. show less
Essential reading for all who sleep...
He aquí el primer informe completo sobre la tradición dzogchén o “gran perfección”, que constituye la esencia de todas las tradiciones espirituales del Tíbet. Namkhai Norbu es el principal maestro de esta profunda y antigua enseñanza, enraizada tanto en el budismo tántrico del Tíbet como en la tradición bön.
