Böcker av Geshe Dangsong Namgyal

Le Dzogchen est l'état de grande perfection. Dans le Bön, il existe neuf étapes pour atteindre l'éveil. La voie graduelle comprend les huit premières étapes et inclut de nombreuses pratiques et enseignements. L'enseignement Dzogchen est l'étape la plus élevée et introduit directement le Dharmakaya ou la bouddhéité primordiale. Celle-ci est atteinte au moyen d'une unique pratique : la méditation en un seul point sur la nature de l'esprit. Le méditant va au-delà de l'esprit ordinaire et rencontre l'inconcevable immensité de l'esprit naturel et de la vérité ultime. Toutes les illusions, l'ignorance et les facteurs afflictifs sont libérés. Libérer le pratiquant des problèmes quotidiens est bénéfique, mais le Dzogchen, la voie de la libération, est l'ultime bienfait.

This quintessential Bön Dzogchen teaching presents twenty-one nails or instructions leading to certainty in the recognition and realization of the natural state. The entire subject of Dzogchen practice is included within it-both trechöd, the cutting through, and thögal, the direct crossing. In the Natural State, we go beyond all intellectual activity. In separating from a dualistic view, the Natural Mind is recognized. It is beyond words. The only way to understand it is to experience it.

Dzogchen is the state of great perfection. In Bon, there are nine steps to achieving enlightenment. The gradual path contains the beginning eight steps and include many practices and teachings. The Dzogchen teaching is the highest step and directly introduces Dharmakaya or primordial Buddhahood. This is attained by means of one practice: single-pointed meditation on the Natural Mind. The meditator passes beyond mind and encounters the inconceivable vastness of the natural mind and ultimate truth. All delusions, ignorance and emotions are liberated. Freeing the practitioner from daily problems is of benefit; however, Dzogchen, the path of liberation, is the ultimate benefit. This compilation of Geshe Namgyal’s teachings provides the route, summary and essential points of the Pure Dzogchen from the Zhang Zhung Tradition.
