Description

The Foolish Dharma of an Idiot Clothed in Mud and Feathers – Part I – May 2014

A Dzogchen retreat recorded in Santa Barbara, May 11-18, 2014

Dzogchen, or the “Great Perfection,” is regarded by many as the pinnacle of Buddhist teachings, for it presents the most direct path to realizing our true nature and to unveiling the deepest dimensions of consciousness.

In the text taught at this retreat, its author, the 19th-century Dzogchen master Düdjom Lingpa, presents the view, meditation and way of life of the Great Perfection from his own experience, inspired by his many visions of the “Lake-Born Vajra” manifestations of Padmasambhava, who first introduced the teachings of Dzogchen to Tibet in the 8th century. With delightful humility, he describes himself as an old vagabond, ludicrously clothed in mud and feathers, who has shaken his beggar’s satchel and presents these lucid teachings as what came out.

This retreat consists of lectures, guided meditations and discussions, and is intended for participants with a sound understanding and practice of the foundational Buddhist teachings of the Four Noble Truths, Bodhicitta, and the Six Perfections.
