“We’ve had Trekchöd teachings for some years, but this year, in particular, I thought it would be beneficial for our sangha to study and practice according to the precise pointing-out instructions of Dudjom Lingpa from his mind treasure, the “Nay-Luk Rang-Jyung (The Self-Manifest Abiding Nature).” This is a long Tantra that arose from his pure vision (dak-nang) during which he had a series of encounters with inconceivable numbers of Buddhas. In particular, we will study the Shen-Jyé section of the “Nay Luk Rang Jyung.” which has to do with discerning the differences between one thing and another in our meditation practice, things that are easily confused, thus removing all our doubt. In this way, we are sure to develop a correct understanding of Dzogchen Great Perfection and gain the ultimate result of Dzogchen Great Perfection practice.” – Lama Tharchin Rinpoche
