Blending the soaring View of Dzogchen with heartfelt advice on how to deal with our relative confusion, Sogyal Rinpoche teaches here on the essence of shunyata—the ultimate nature of all things, which is free of permanence and non-existence.
Conveying the atmosphere of extraordinary spaciousness we can taste through our meditation practice Rinpoche gives us practical advice on how to overcome our negativity, reconnect with the practice and return to our fundamental nature.
Our original ground is primordial purity – an all-encompassing space where we are free and expansive – yet through grasping at a non-existent self our perception is distorted and our problems magnified. Ego keeps us imprisoned in a false self, which is the root cause of all our problems and creates negative story lines with which we pressure ourselves about our practice.
Rinpoche shows us how remembering the View creates spaciousness and allows our practice to flow. The View opens up our understanding of the teachings, inspiring and infusing our practice with meaning. Rinpoche reveals how incredibly spacious our mind can be and shows the possibility of bringing all understanding into one moment - in one taste.
