The Dzogchen Teachings
It is said that the Dzogchen teachings are only available in a dark age of conflict and confusion. This is because of the rawness of life is more conducive for those who want change; if we were in a happier period where everyone was content, we’d want to hold on to that limited happiness. Think yourself lucky.:D
This shows that the student is the initiator of the teachings.
The Buddha saw birth, old age, sickness and death,
which spurred him on to enlightenment.
