Avalokiteshvara’s Dzogchen Part II

We refresh connection to The Very Heart of Great Compassion from Lotus Heart Essence revealed by A.dzo.m Paylo Rinpoche, also called Avalokitesvara’s Dzogchen, and for the first time introduce the profound Feast (Tshog) of this practice. As with earlier sections, this Feast is direct guidance for recognizing our ultimate mind. If you were not present at the May 2022 retreat, you can still participate by listening to the recording before we meet on October, or commitment to do so at your own pace after this weekend.

I.3.    Precious Treasury of the Dharmadhātu
Just-there expanse, ground for all that is
Empty essence, unceasing nature:
Nothing’s there, yet everything comes forth.
Swirl and peace dawn from the three forms, yet
Move not from the realm, true land of bliss.
ལྷུན་གྲུབ་ཀློང་ལས་ཐམས་ཅད་འབྱུང་བའི་གཞི།
ང་བོ་སྟོང་ལ་རང་བཞིན་མ་འགག་པ
ཅིར་ཡང་མ་གྲུབ་ཅིར་ཡང་འཆར་བ་སྟེ
སྐུ་གསུམ་ཀློང་ནས་འཁོར་འདས་རང་ཤར་ཀྱང་
དབྱིངས་ལས་མ་གཡོས་ཆོས་ཉིད་བདེ་བའི་ཞིང  Verses p. 3, Treasure Trove p. 13
