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.
Natural pauses
Micro-practices during work or movement
Dzogchen practice does not require withdrawing from daily life. Micro-practices—short, simple recognitions of awareness—can be woven into ordinary activities, especially during work or movement.
Sustaining rigpa throughout the day
The essence of advanced Dzogchen practice is sustaining continuous recognition of rigpa, not only in meditation sessions but throughout all activities of daily life.
Adapting practice to modern lifestyle
Dzogchen practice arose in ancient Tibet, yet its essence is timeless and universal. In the modern world, practitioners adapt methods without losing the heart of recognizing rigpa.
