The great master Guru Rinpoche has said:

      A hundred things may be explained, 
             a thousand told,
      But one thing only should you grasp.
      Know one thing and everything is freed-
      Remain within your inner nature, 
             your awareness!.

James Low

Dzogchen and Identity

Dzogchen Meditation

The Seminar with James Low will be from 6th to 8th of February 2008
in Berlin

About James Low

Dzogchen offers a radical view of personal identity. How we think of ourselves determines the choices we make and sets up the patterns of our lives. Yet, how we think of ourselve is determined by many complex historical factors. Caught up in a web of thoughts feelings and sensations, we encounter a world full of temptations and provocations.

This is a process that goes on and on. The practice of dzogchen opens up a very different experience in which while the outer forms of life continue, they do so within an openness which is ever fresh.

In this short retreat we will look at ways to enter this experience

Padma Lingpa's Dzogchen Song

The emptiness in the seeing which is called Vision
Transcends definition as something or nothing;
When seeing, is there nothing there?
But if there is an object of sight, there is no Vision.

The profundity that is called Meditation
Lies beyond the presence or absence of mental images;
When there is no mental image there is no object of meditation,
And when there is a point of reference there is no act of
       meditation.

He whose moral action is called spontaneous activity
Has gone beyond the possibility of choice;
When there is bias or discrimination, there is no perfect action,
And when there is no accepting or rejecting, where is moral
       action
