In the lecture “Dzogchen: Understanding Garab Dorje’s Three Vital Points,” delivered on October 10, 2021, Diamond Approach founder and spiritual teacher A. H. Almaas clarified the understanding of Garab Dorje’s three vital points with the hope of benefiting all those who are interested in practicing Dzogchen or in gaining a better understanding of its experiential qualities of emptiness, luminous clarity, and compassion. This was the fifth lecture in the 2021 A.H. Almaas Lecture Series, offered by the Ridhwan Foundation, the home of the Diamond Approach. This handout shares each of the main points Almaas made, including the relevant quotations from the works that Almaas discussed.
Key insights
• 🤯 Garab Dorje believed that Dzogchen teachings were best suited for people with superior intelligence, leading to many intellectuals in the Western world following the teaching.
• 🌟 Dzogchen teachings go beyond the laws of karma and cause and effect, leading to the enlightened state without finishing all karma.
• 🧘♂️ The first essential point in Dzogchen is that the student receives the enlightened state directly in their consciousness through a real teacher.
• 🤯 Recognizing pure awareness is a discovery that needs to be independent not only from others but from one's mind, and sustaining the state requires the power of practice to make it arise on its own and become more permanent.
• 🧘♂️ The great masters of Tibet often spend years in complete dedication to their practice, even going to extremes like spending nine years in a cave.
• 🌟 The goal is not just to continue the state of meditation but to actualize the realization and live it in one's personal life.
• 🌅 The stage of effortless, spontaneous living in the awakened state can be considered the fruition of realization of the path of Sakya and continues through the dying process.
• 🧘♀️ The primary obstacle for all non-dual states is the habit of believing that the self is the real me, which can be overcome by recognizing and investigating this belief.
Summary
Dzogchen is a non-dual teaching in Tibetan Buddhism that emphasizes direct introduction to one's own nature, recognition of pure awareness, and integrating the liberated state into everyday life through sustained practice and meditation.
