“In the usual approach to meditation, first comes the practice known as calm abiding, or shamatha in Sanskrit and Shine in Tibetan. In it we learn to remain tranquil, to leave the mind in a state in which thoughts and afflictions are pacified. Shamatha allows the mind to rest without distraction, peaceful and calm.
Next comes insight meditation, which leads the mind to recognize its own nature, to understand its emptiness, lucidity, and un-obstructiveness by direct experience. Mind recognizes itself by itself and finally reaches the experience of mahamudra….”
“The teachings and practices of mahamudra or dzogchen are the heart and quintessence of Dharma. They are the experience of non duality, the realization of emptiness, the fundamental nature of mind. This realization removes all the veils that obscure mind’s nature, the Buddha nature. Whatever life we might have led and whatever path we might have taken, if we reach this singular realization, we will have accomplished the consummate result.”
