Dzogchen is tantra. In fact, in the Nyingma tradition, dzogchen is the highest yoga tantra. Without the mahasandhi view, all other practices of the tantra in the Nyingma tradition basically collapse. Pointing out your Buddha nature is a big deal – the highest …

Dzogchen has so many unique practices associated with it, including preliminary ngondro, anuyoga physical yoga with channels/winds, visualizations, but at the end of the day it's similar to the non-doing approach, abiding in the natural state.

2023年11月28日 · Ke-rim is part of discovering. Dzogchen is actualizing the totality of your mind. Ke-rim has many methods that allow you to access more and more of the totality of your mind. But when you access the whole thing, it is complete. And that’s Dzogchen, the great completion. I have had people say to me: “I only want to practice Dzogchen”.

2020年11月19日 · Many Dzogchen masters have said this is not necessary.

Honestly tho, every dzogchen lama worth their salt has been exposed to a ton of mahamudra teachings and vice versa.

If we want to be pedants, the pinnacle approach is called atiyoga and then dzogchen is the living, experiential state that is discovered, which is the essence of atiyoga and the other nine yānas. This is what Śrī ...

2023年11月9日 · Most Dzogchen texts are lovely for having little or no metaphysical prerequisites. But in my reading, I’d say that it’s only half true that “in Dzogchen, subject and object are not denied (conventionally), and ontological non-duality is rejected as well.” Subject and object are not denied in Dzogchen, but the view obliterates them.
