"(00:00) There is often an instruction "observe your own mind and find out how it is". Is this open sitting practice the same as or different from guru yoga?"
"(12:06) Have you ever witnessed a miracle? If so, please tell us about it."
"(13:10) Do you consider mudras helpful? If yes, which ones in particular?"
"(15:16) Is psychotherapy useful as an adjunct or a support for dzogchen?"
"(18:53) How to introduce children to this dzogchen view? What topics at what ages?"
"(27:31) Should we do long retreats or short retreats or just one day? What is good?"
"(31:57) Our everyday experience is of a body walking in space. Is this more accurately the space in the mind, so we are not in space, but space is in the mind?"
"(40:08) At the moment, I conceptually understand that what I see is like a reflection in the mirror. But this is still a concept. How to get direct experience of this?"
