Dzogchen is a spiritual practice in Tibetan Buddhism that emphasizes the natural state of the mind. It teaches that everyone has an inherent, pure awareness that can be realized through direct experience. Practitioners aim to recognize this state, often referred to as the "Great Perfection," which transcends ordinary thoughts and emotions. The teachings of Dzogchen are traditionally passed down through oral transmission and written texts. They include methods such as meditation and contemplation, guiding individuals to experience their true nature. This practice is considered one of the highest paths in Tibetan Buddhism, promoting profound insight and liberation.
