How one is in the moment

Sutra, Tantra, and Dzogchen are a continuum in terms of involvement. One practises what is appropriate in terms of how one is in the moment. One has to observe one's condition.

“Empty attention” replied Khandro Déchen “is simply attention without discursive conceptuality in relation to the attention.”   “Without thinking—my—attention is on this” added Ngak’chang Rinpoche.
