Rigpa is naked perception – a naked flame, which burns with or without fuel. It is naked in the same sense that an unsheathed knife is naked. Rigpa is pure and total presence. Stripped of referential clinging to the illusion of duality, mind is self-divested through bare attention. The essential reality of what exposes itself, is simply as it is. p29, Shock Amazement : The four naljors and four ting-ngé’dzin from the Dzogchen series of the nature of Mind.
