Longchen Rabjam - The Decisive Experience

[Newest Reality]

Emaho!

This is meant for experienced mediators, but exposure can be a seed for those who are not. Dzogchen has a lineage that reserved these definitive teachings for those who were "ready" for it. It can have quite an impact and therefore, it was an esoteric practice. These days, people will "self censor" in that they might miss the essence or spark or juice of the teaching and just move on.

However, those who might feel a deeper need to move from provisional to definitive, Longchenpa's teachings capture the most radical aspects of the Great Perfection, (Great Encompassment, Great Juncture, etc.) Dzogchen. It is a fascinating field of discovery and insight for those who do recognize it as such.

If you like guided meditation and feel so inspired to rest in this, it can be very effective of its own. If you feel very traditional and provisional, then it may just seem peaceful or relaxing. If you are stuck in your practices, these is could be the solvent. All that might be missing are the pointing out instructions or "direct introduction", but this should suffice initially.

I might add that there are many Dzogchen and buddhadharma texts read very gently with etheric background music on that channel and would point out that the teachings of Nisargadatta, (on Hindu side as per Advaita Vedanta) who taught another apotheosis of all teachings as Nisarga Yoga. I consider teachings along these lines as hard core and to the point.

For further study, this collection makes a good overall primer. I find that the Keith Dowman translations of Lonchenpa's writings are very cutting edge and radical, to say the least. Natural Perfection, Original Perfection and Spaciousness are wonderful and auspicious translations that make good companions for those in transcendence.
