View, Meditation, and Conduct in Dzogchen
In Dzogchen, the path is often summarized as view, meditation, and conduct. These three aspects describe how one relates to awareness, how one stabilizes it, and how one integrates it into daily life.
Separate practice
Integrating stillness and movement
Longde teachings emphasize that awareness is not confined to meditation stillness. True stability comes when recognition of rigpa continues seamlessly through both stillness and movement.
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.
