| Dzogpa Chenpo is how things actually are. Things left just as they are. The natural state. How things actually are, their true mode of being. The great knowledge holder, lineage master Jigme Lingpa, the fearless master who lived three hundred years ago in Tibet, said, “Teachings about Dzogchen are many. Knowers of Dzogchen are few.” [The] great Khenpo Ngawang Palzang, disciple of Patrul Rinpoche, the great Dzogchen master, said, “Dzogchen is extremely simple, but not easy.” It is easy for anybody to point to the sky. It is easy for anybody to say something about Dzogchen and how everything is perfect in its true nature. But most people see the finger and they don’t see the sky. So if you see the finger and you didn’t see the sky, then there is ngondro, refuge, bodhicitta practice, a lot of meditations and purifications to do in order to purify and dispel the obscurations temporarily obscuring our buddha-nature, our own true nature. – from Natural Great Perfection: Dzogchen Teachings and Vajra Songs – Nyoshul Khenpo and Lama Surya Das <a href="mailto:jerome@mindfulnessbreaks.com?subject=Join the Sangha&body=Name: Friends%0d%0aEmail: ENJbOKoJ@mindfulnessbreaks.com“>Click here to receive the link to join my next teaching on Wednesday night at 7:00 PM PDT. |
