Dzogchen (Sanskrit: Ati Yoga) is the most simple, direct, and profound Vajrayana Buddhist path to reveal the sky-like nature of our own mind which is clear, vast, and unobstructed by the clouds of afflictive emotions.

Join Lama Justin for an introduction to Dzogchen meditation in which we will explore how to feel into the mind’s true nature through working with thought activity, stillness and awareness.

(Please note that the first minute or so of this session is very quiet, but that the sound soon improves.)

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Nathan Glyde – Week of Jan 3, 2022

  • Freedom without Expectations

    One of the Buddha’s primary realisations was ‘Life is painful and then you die.’ If this is true, then how do we respond to the difficulties of life?
