What Is Dzogchen

It is the ultimate teaching of Tibet, the Natural Great Perfection.
It is an outlook, a PERSPECTIVE.
It is simple, effortless, PROFOUND, RELAXING, and IT is right here right now.
It is empty, open, NATURAL and luminous, the TRUE NATURE OF OUR SPIRITUAL mind.
It is accessible through moment-to-moment MINDFUL AWARENESS, which brings out our intrinsic OPENNESS, ACCEPTANCE and EQUANIMITY.
The spirit of Dzogchen is joyful and light as well as being a wise outlook and vast perspective.

The hardest thing about Dzogchen is how to pronounce it (zo-chen)
