Dzogchen is a system of nondual catalysts which self-describe the fundamental nature of what we are through exploding the horizon of conventional reality. Dzogchen approaches our essential nature absolutely directly, but—because it is: too close, too accessible, too present, and too simple—it seems elusive.
Dzogchen—the primordial state—is entirely accessible. Ironically however, it cannot be approached in isolation as an individual initiative. Committed preparation under the guidance of a Lama is necessary. The Lama is indispensable.
