Dzogchen Fundamentals
Essence of Mind
Rinpoche teaches us that in order to find ourselves we must find the nature of our mind. Our minds are easily deceived. If we can find the nature of our mind, we will become enlightened. When one fully understands the law of karma, one begins the path to enlightenment.
Why Does Guru Appear Angry
Thoughts carry energy.The guru manifests an "angry appearance" to stop everyone's evil thoughts and negative energy. Otherwise, it will harm many living beings around.
Because everyone has received so many empowerments from the guru, they possess great energy. The negative energy emitted by each person not only affects the entire temple but also extends to a great distance in the surrounding area.
The video at http://youtu.be/tAvzsjcBtx8 clearly demonstrates the power of thoughts and words. A phrase carrying positive energy causes water molecules to exhibit a beautiful molecular structure. Conversely, insults alter the structure of water molecules, making them broken and incomplete.
Therefore, the Guru manifests the form of Yamantaka to balance and neutralize the negative energy emitted by everyone.
