Embodying the Great Perfection
Part I: Refining the View
Ian Baker · 158 minutes
Ian Baker traces how Dzogchen developed, from early formulations close to Chan through their absorption into mainstream Tibetan tantric Buddhism. He reads the view from images of Samantabhadra and Padmasambhava, and describes his own training under Chatral Rinpoche, who sent him to a cave for a month with a bag of tsampa. Before there was Dzogchen there was Sahajayana, Saraha's innate bliss. A talk and questions, no guided practice, closing with a request to find a poem or song expressing the view.
