The three series: Semde, Longde, Menngagde
Dzogchen teachings are traditionally organized into three main series, each highlighting a distinct method of introducing and stabilizing recognition of awareness.
Primordial awareness
Rainbow body teachings
The rainbow body is one of the most profound teachings in Dzogchen. It describes the dissolution of the practitioner’s body into light at the culmination of Tögal practice and realization of rigpa.
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.
