Recognizing rigpa
Recognizing rigpa—the pristine awareness at the heart of Dzogchen—is the pivotal moment in practice. It marks the difference between intellectual understanding and direct realization.
Stabilizing recognition
Stabilizing recognition of awareness
In Dzogchen, the first glimpse of rigpa may be brief and easily lost. Stabilizing recognition means learning to remain in awareness continuously, in meditation and daily life.
Short sessions of natural awareness
Dzogchen practice is often described as 'short sessions, many times.' Rather than striving for long meditation periods, the emphasis is on frequent glimpses of natural awareness throughout the day.
