Meditation in Dzogchen is nothing but sustaining the view, and the root text gives it in a line: the past has ceased, the future has not arisen, bring the consciousness of the present, as naked empty awareness, onto the path. The Vajra Essence warns how easily resting in the substrate is mistaken for that, and Lama Alan Wallace reads Sera Khandro on the four kinds of open presence. He tells of lamas who kept one taste through years in prison camps.
