Ethical foundations and daily mindfulness
Dzogchen emphasizes direct recognition of awareness, yet ethical foundations and mindfulness in daily life are indispensable supports that stabilize and protect practice.
Ensures continuity
Spontaneous presence in ordinary life
Dzogchen emphasizes that realization is not confined to meditation sessions or retreats. The essence of practice is recognizing spontaneous presence in the midst of daily, ordinary life.
Community and sangha support
In Dzogchen, the sangha (community of practitioners) is a vital support. Practicing within community reinforces awareness, provides encouragement, and connects practitioners to authentic lineage.
