  1. "The quandry of uncertainty is at the heart of Dzogchen. Dzogchen teaches us how to live joyfully and effectively in a world that is 'empty display' —alternately horrifying and perfect, chaotic and crystalline, alienating and supremely meaningful."

  2. Known as the "Ancient" tradition, Nyingma traces its lineage to the 8th-century master Guru Padmasambhava. 🧘🌿 At its heart is Dzogchen—the "Great Perfection"—teaching that pure awareness is already within us. 💎🙏 With its unique hidden treasures (terma) and a history of wandering yogis, Nyingma offers a mystical, direct path to spiritual liberation. 📜🕯️

  3. Thankyou Alan Wallace for existing!

    I just watched this profoundly incisive #talk on #Dzogchen and the nature of #mind. I really hope it can bring you too, the deepest and clearest awareness of your own mind's nature.

    Why bother? IMO, practicing meditation brings peace and clarity of mind, leaving us more resourceful, peaceful, creative, healthy, etc. Some occasional guidance from those who excel at it, can't be bad.

    Here it is:

  4. In the palace of empty reality, awareness of presence a constant, present-awareness of the now happens in the spaciousness of reality. Spaciousness and present-awareness are nondual and nondual awareness is offering and worship.

  5. From the perspective of Dzogchen, shamata (calm abiding) and vipashana (clear seeing or insight) are not separate practices but aspects of the same direct experience.

  6. Dear Friends of #Buddhism,

    As we may know, #meditation is all the rage … #gone#sublimated or #melted. That is why it is all the rage, #frenzy and #focus for new #resolves.
    I have been a #Buddhist since I was young enough to #read, old enough to know #better and #wise enough to #know no #difference.

    #Wrathful or #rage based practice is nearly as advanced as #Mahamudra and #Dzogchen or just counting the breath …

    Let me #explain for the #Fury’s, #furry’s and #timid wabbits …

    The #easiest and #fastest #way to #ripen #karma and make #progress is to call up a wrathful or #protector #Buddhist #manifestations/#principle/#quality …

    This is most familiarly done in #Vajrayana/#Mantrayana

  9. Maybe #pristine #awareness, attained through #Dzogchen or similar vehicles, involves little or no measurable physical brain activity?

    Changed my bio hashtags. Was tempted to include
    #TransQuility and add something to my imp personal interests such as #FreeWater

    Anyway … time for my breakfast:

    - verbal tea, which might end up being green, black or coffee
    🤪
    - raw garlic to suppress my vampire and wer-lobster tendencies
    🧛‍♀️
    - plumb fruity porridge
    🥣
    - stone soup
    🍵
    - left offers
    🤹

    I will not be having cigarettes or beer, because I don't smoke or drink. Might have that with superior smugness
    😌😎🤗

    Have a great day to all Kinds of kind

    Re Disengaging: In the #Nyingma tradition it is perfectly normal (and of equal status) to be a householder practitioner, and it is said that many householders achieve full awakening.

    Under #Dzogchen the disengagement is more mental than physical, one trains to be not captivated by the sensory world, whilst still operating in it.
    Of course, periods of meditational retreat are extremely helpful (essential?) in gaining that ability to be actively detached.

  15. CW: @[email protected] @[email protected] Here's a comprehensive presentation (from my Tibetan tradition) of the nine yanas (training paths) in #Buddhism. Caution: critiques most yanas.

    Broadly speaking, the first two are practices of the Theravada communities, the rest are all within #Mahayana.

    4 - 8 comprise #Vajrayana,
    9 is #Atiyoga, a.k.a #Dzogchen.

    I hope this helps you (and all other sentient beings) achieve full awakening.
