Integration with death and dying
Dzogchen offers profound instructions for death and dying, guiding practitioners to recognize awareness at the time of transition. Death becomes not an end but an opportunity for full realization.

Advanced guidance under teacher supervision
The Menngagde (Instruction Series) practices, especially Tögal, are considered extremely advanced. They require close supervision by a qualified teacher to ensure safe and authentic progress.
Chöd practice and releasing fear
Chöd, meaning 'cutting through,' is a powerful supportive practice sometimes integrated with Dzogchen. It is designed to cut attachment to the self and dissolve fear, especially fear of death and demons of the mind.
Purification rituals and offerings
Although Dzogchen emphasizes direct recognition of awareness, purification rituals and offerings remain supportive practices. They remove obstacles, accumulate merit, and create conducive conditions for realization.
