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.
Teacher role
Advanced guidance under teacher supervision
The Menngagde (Instruction Series) practices, especially Tögal, are considered extremely advanced. They require close supervision by a qualified teacher to ensure safe and authentic progress.
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.
Receiving ongoing guidance from teachers
In Dzogchen, teachers play an indispensable role. Ongoing guidance ensures correct recognition of rigpa and helps practitioners avoid subtle pitfalls on the path.
