	Spiritual Beliefs--Dzogchen, Hinduism, Christianity and Judaism
		The desires are not purified in Dzogchen, they are simply allowed to run their natural course and "self-liberate." Unlike in the other Buddhist schools, there is nothing to reject or transform in Dzogchen, no formal vows or commitments required of the practitioner.
		The essence of Dzogchen is that of spontaneous self-perfection.
		Dzogchen, like Zen and Taoism—and all other spiritual paths at their most genuine, esoteric core—tends to be so elusive because it sounds too good to be true.

		It will be helpful in coming to an understanding of Dzogchen to consider it in relation to the various other spiritual paths within the spectrum of Buddhism in general, which are all equally precious, and have been taught for the benefit of beings of different levels of capacity.
		Dzogchen is the Path of Self-Liberation, and not the Path of Transformation, so it does not use visualization as a principle practice; but it is beyond limits, and practices of any of the other levels can be used as secondary practices.
		Only this contemplation can truly be called Dzogchen, but a Dzogchen practitioner may use practices from any of the levels of sutra or tantra, if they are found to be necessary to remove obstacles that block the state of contemplation.

	Introduction to Dzogchen
		Dzogchen, then, is a method of practice, grounded in bodhichitta and nonconceptual cognition of voidness, enabling us to recognize rigpa and stay forever at its level of mental activity free from all obscuration.
		Dzogchen, on the other hand, not only explicitly teaches that all qualities, not only compassion, are complete in rigpa, but entails extensive sutra and tantra meditation practice for cultivating compassion.
		Thus, although the dzogchen literature primarily speaks from the points of view of the resultant stage and of those for whom it happens all at once, we need to gather the causes for success before we are able to practice dzogchen successfully.

	Dzogchen - Tibetan Buddhism
		However, Dzogchen (unlike Zen and mindfulness meditation) draws on the rich repository of Tibetan techniques like visualizations and tantra, to help the student achieve this non-conceptual state of mind and then sustain it.
		Dzogchen teachings are considered the highest teachings in the Bon and Nyingma traditions.
		Many mindfulness practitioners are also studying with Dzogchen teachers and lately we hear a lot about the practice of Dzogchen.

	Dzogchen
		Q: It is said that in Dzogchen "the view" is of ultimate importance.
		The Dalai Lama once said that Dzogchen is the practice of Buddhas, not the practice of beings.
		The clouds might obscure the sun again, just as the mind obscures the innate awareness, but the important point is that we have recognized the ultimate nature with certainty; we have actually come to see how things are.

	Dzogchen
		Dzogchen is a tantric teaching concerning the true nature of the human mind.
		The purpose of the Dzogchen teacher or guru is to guide the spiritual seeker towards a recognition of their own ultimate identity as primordial Awareness and then teach them how to stabilize in the consciousness so that liberation may unfold naturally.
		An important step to understand Dzogchen is to distinguish between the nature of relative consciousness (called citta in Sanskrit), and the primordially pure, nondual Awareness (known as vidya) which is the essence of mind.

	Dzogchen
		Dzogchen is often regarded as the name of a specific school of Vajrayana Buddhism, yet is, quite 'simply', the Tibetan name for the highest stage of the Inner Tantras as defined by the Nyingmapa, and has much in common with the Mahamudra and certain Lamdre teachings of other Tibetan schools.
		Dzogchen is, or was, sometimes regarded as heretic, especially by the Gelugpa, mainly because it does share certain points of view with Chinese Ch'an-Buddhism (influenced by Taoism) and with the Shaiva tradition of Kashmir.
		One of the interesting and rather unique features of the Dzogchen teachings is the non-hierarchic method that is used, a method that leaves the student/practitioner very much room for her or his individuality, and for the social role he or she happens to play in life.

	Tibetan Buddhism (Dzogchen), Hinduism and Judaism--spiritual beliefs and practices
		Dzogchen is often called, in fact, Highest Yoga Tantra, its practices belonging within the highest level of the Vajrayana hierarchy.
		Dzogchen is similar to Taoism and Zen in that it emphasizes the innate perfection of every aspect of the universe—the individual being no exception.
		According to Dzogchen, spiritual realization doesn't require something new, some radical transformation of our old selves into something supernaturally "holy." Rather, the Tibetans emphasize that we are already perfect—just as we are—if we can only recognize and appreciate our unique place within the Cosmic Dance.

	Dzogchen Teachings
		In Dzogchen, the primordial enlightened state of being is seen not as something to be constructed or gained, but rather as our inherent nature and potential.
		Dzogchen cannot be counted as a religious or philosophical tradition, but is a non-intellectual knowledge, which the masters have transmitted beyond any limitations of school or sect.
		In Bön, the introduction of Dzogchen is ascribed to the great master Shenrab Miwoche, who transmitted this knowledge as part of a tradition widespread in the ancient Shang Shung realm, located in what is now western Tibet.

		Dzogchen, which in Tibetan signifies Total Perfection, is a very ancient teaching which developed in Tibet within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

	Dzogchen
		Dzogchen, literally "great perfection," is the primary teaching of the Nyingmapa school of Tibetan Buddhism, having been carried to Tibet in the eighth century by Padmasambhava, who is recognized as a "second Buddha." This actualization of what Dzogchen is is sent out through this collection of empowerments given from 1982-1989 by the 14
		This is the equivalent in the Dzogchen tradition of what is more commonly referred to as the path that is the union of skilful means and wisdom.
		From the point of view of Dzogchen, the understanding is that the adventitious level of mind, which is caught up with concepts and thoughts, is by its very nature permeated by pure awareness.

		Subsequently, the Nyingmapa transmission of the Dzogchen precepts was brought to Central Tibet principally due to the activities of three teachers: the great Tantric master Padmasambhava from the country of Uddiyana, the Mahasiddha and Mahapandita Vimalamitra from India, and the native-born Tibetan translator Vairochana of Pagor.
		Modern critics cite the fact that, with the exception of two short Dzogchen texts, the Rig-pa'i khu-byug and the sBas-pa'i sgum-chung, the texts of the Dzogchen Tantras have not been found in the Tun Huang library on the borders of Western China, which was sealed in the tenth century.
		The third cycle of transmission of the Dzogchen teachings within the Bon tradition is the uninterrupted lineage of the oral transmission from the country of Zhang-zhung (Zhang-zhung snyan-rgyud), which is the subject of the present study.
