The
Tibetan term Dzogchen, “Great Perfection” refers to the true
primordial state of every individual and not to any transcendent
reality.
The Dzogchen teachings are neither a philosophy, nor a religious
doctrine, nor a cultural tradition. Understanding the message of
the teachings means discovering one’s own true condition,
stripped of all self-deceptions and falsifications which the
mind creates.
What do we mean when we say: “becoming aware of our own true
condition”? It means observing ourselves, discovering who we
are, who we believe we are, and what our attitude is towards
others and to life. If we just observe the limits, the mental
judgments, the passions, the pride, the jealousy, and the
attachments with which we close ourselves up in the course of
one single day, where do they arise from, what are they rooted
in? Their source is our dualistic vision, and our conditioning.
To be able to help both ourselves and others we need to overcome
all the limits in which we are enclosed. This is the true
function of the teachings.
