We only have to awaken and recognize who we are and how we fit perfectly in this world.
This is the teaching of the Innate Great Perfection - Dzogchen.
Introducing us to Dzogchen is the life's work of Lama Surya Das.
My mission is teaching and educating,
transmission and transformation:
Awakening the mind and opening the heart;
preserving and upholding the timeless
teachings and practice of Dzogchen, the
Natural Great perfection teachings of Tibet,
and making it accessible and practice-able
here on our shores in modern times.
Join this great wave of awakening
to the infinite possibilities
of nowness-awareness,
the authentic Buddha within.
With love,
Lama Surya Das

What Is Dzogchen?
It is the ultimate teaching of Tibet, the Natural Great Perfection.
It is an outlook, a PERSPECTIVE.
It is simple, effortless, PROFOUND, RELAXING, and IT is right here right now.
It is empty, open, NATURAL and luminous, the TRUE NATURE OF OUR SPIRITUAL mind.
It is accessible through moment-to-moment MINDFUL AWARENESS, which brings out our intrinsic OPENNESS, ACCEPTANCE and EQUANIMITY.
The spirit of Dzogchen is joyful and light as well as being a wise outlook and vast perspective.
The hardest thing about Dzogchen is how to pronounce it (zo-chen)
