Dzogchen Daily Practice

Book excerpt: 'Dzogchen Daily Practice', 'Elements of Dzogchen Daily Ritual Practice' provides a description of the elements of Radical Dzogchen daily practice and a liturgy to accompany it. Placed within the context of the Dzogchen View in the introduction and commnetary, however, ritual practice becomes a secondary aspect of radical Dzogchen. The heart of the daily practice is 'simply sitting' identical in both the long and short practices. The long practice includes preliminary, supportive, lubricative, (ngondro), practices and also nontraditional supplementary practices introduced in the West. 'Daily Practice' describes the elements of the ritual meditation embedded in the 24-hour-a-day Dzogchen praxis.
