Dzogchen Isn’t A Teaching
Dzogchen is another name for what we are: pure consciousness.
There’s no getting away from it.

If we think Dzogchen is something extra – extra special to make us extra, extra special – that is not Dzogchen. That is the opposite to Dzogchen. Dzogchen is the raw thing; it’s skinless, total exposure, with nothing to get hold of.
Our reality isn’t a mysterious, magical dance in the sky. It’s right here, right now. It’s reading these words without comment, which is non-duality. Comments may then come along. This is still non-duality; duality comes when we make something more out of it.
Dzogchen is always right now. Doing a Dzogchen retreat doing nothing – and not making much ado about nothing. π
The real teaching is in our reactions, the total exposure.
