Trekchö, often translated as 'cutting through,' is one of the two central practices of Menngagde. It directly reveals the primordial purity of awareness by cutting through the rigidity of grasping and conceptual elaboration.
Tögal, or 'leap-over,' is one of the two central practices of the Menngagde series. While Trekchö emphasizes primordial purity, Tögal reveals spontaneous presence through visionary experiences.
Tögal practices reveal luminous visionary experiences, but they must be approached from a foundation of stability in Trekchö and recognition of rigpa. Without stability, visions can confuse rather than liberate.
