With Lama Justin von Bujdoss recorded on January 14, 2024.

Found our teachings useful? Help us continue our work and support your teachers with a donation. Here’s how.

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.)

    Recorded : July 7, 2019

Yet Dharma teachings invite us to hold experience lightly, without reducing our knowing to narrow certainty; retaining a…
