I added a parenthetical (Mind Emanation) next to 'mental manifestation' since the term Mind Emanation is a specific technical term in Tibetan Buddhism (an individual can reincarnate in any of three types of emanation, Body, Speech or Mind -- and these three types of emanation can reside in different individuals); The phrase 'mental manifestation' sounded (to these ears) like 'hallucination' which was (probably, hopefully) not the intent.

[edit] Photo

I have added two photos of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, from my own collection. I release them to the public domain. Please ignore the (C) copyright watermark; i didn't have the time to find my original non-edited images (which are of a huge size.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flavio81 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Nyingma & Bon traditions of Dzogchen

Does Chögyal Namkhai Norbu follow both? This is not clear. Sylvain1972 16:34, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nyingma & Bon

ChNN's teacher, Changchub Dorje, received transmissions both in the Buddhist lineage of Dzogchen, started by Guru Garab Dorje and also in the Bön lineage of Dzogchen (from Shardza Rinpoche).--Klimov 17:27, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Expansion and Consistency

I've added introductory info, a bio box, and lots of information and citations. The article still needs some work and more citations, particularly the section now titled "Teaching Dzogchen in the West."

Throughout the available biographical material for Namkhai Norbu, there is some discrepancy in dates and what age he was when various events occurred. For consistency I have kept with the dates and ages given in the bio info contained in The Crystal and the Way of Light, which is an excellent book introducing Norbu and his teachings of Dzogchen.
