(The Main Practice III)

Practicing meditation on pristine awareness enables one to sustain the view of the Great Perfection, as explained in this next section of the text by Düdjom Rinpoché. Perceiving the empty essential nature of pristine awareness is the dharmakaya. Its luminous manifest nature is identified as the sambhogakaya, which ascertains the emptiness of mind, realizing dharmakaya non-dually, of one taste. Lama Alan teaches on the Great Perfection instructions of examining the mind and arriving at its very nature, resting in rigpa, primordially transcending categories yet still knowable. Dzogchen’s unique practice does not require the classic suppression of coarse or subtle conceptualization, instead engaging in daily life from the perspective of nondual empty and luminous equipoise. Spontaneously, bodhicitta arises without any dualistic grasping. The perfection of wisdom is explained as transcending wisdom, non-conceptually maintaining non-meditation.

Meditation is repeated from the last lesson, to facilitate gaining experience.
