Dzogchen, often translated as the 'Great Perfection,' has a unique place within Tibetan spiritual traditions. Its history stretches back many centuries and interweaves with both Buddhism and the indigenous Bön tradition of Tibet.
Dzogchen teachings have been preserved and transmitted through unbroken lineages of masters. Understanding these figures and their roles helps to appreciate the authenticity and continuity of the tradition.
In Dzogchen, teachers play an indispensable role. Ongoing guidance ensures correct recognition of rigpa and helps practitioners avoid subtle pitfalls on the path.
