--Nope. Putting the cart before the horse. MMY and Jerry both say that they continue practicing TM, since there's a physiological benefit to TM in contrast to putting in an energetic work day. Thus, for the sake of rest only, one should continue with one's organized daily Sadhana. This goes for any such practice. Vaj fancies himself as a modern proponent of Garab Dorje's type of "direct transmission" Dzogchen. No techniques necessary - akin to the Neo-Advaitin mantra "just Be". What nonsense!
