#rigpa

[mountain-sage]

In the Dzogchen teaching, if you are in any kind of place and at that moment, you are in a state of rigpa, then that is your place, your sacred or holy place. In general people want to go to a holy place such as a temple to do practice. But when you are in instant presence, then wherever you are becomes a holy place, your temple.

~ Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche

Here the definition of rigpa is self-existing wakefulness that is both empty and cognizant, but free from subject and object.

“Like you, I am searching for who I am, and by now I know that I am not going to find an answer in my functional machinery, ticking away automatically, but in my essential mind, just aware attention, watching. As the Dalai Lama has been pointing out in recent years, the Tibetan language has two words for these two very different kinds of “mind”: The ordinary automatic mind that they call Sene, and this other receptive stillness, which has no judgments, no associations, that they call Rigpa and translate as “awareness.” It’s a beautiful statement in a few sentences of what has previously been a very secret Tibetan practice called Dzogchen, closely allied to what Gurdjieff and others have taught as the wordless way of being totally present now, in this moment ... We’re all designed with this possibility. But what is obstructing the realization of that human potential?”

~ Jim George, in 'Last Call', from an interview with David Ulrich

The sentience that lives in your head isn’t You and its apparent aliveness is due to the glow created by You-as-Awareness radiating upon it. Without the glow of Awareness, no sentience could be known.

If you mistake that sentience to be You, it turns into the ego, the illusory individual identity.

If you awaken to-as that ground of Awareness, the sentience in your head is known simply as that: sentience.

Our true nature is free from negative or positive emotions, free from desire because the more we dig to our true nature less the worldly affairs of the world touch us.

The Buddha did that himself by becoming an acetic seeker, he followed the vedic for will but could not find what was his path later on after mortify is body and nearly kill himself.

He understood maybe his path was not in extreme.

Garchen ronpoche teach us that as soon we rest in our mind that enlightenment but we don’t recognise it as such because we don’t let go of what we too.

Gradually if we lose the tie to our ego-clinging we will gradually realise the state of Boddhi mean awakening or moksha.

Rigpa is a central concept in Dzogchen (Tibetan Buddhism) which means "unconfused knowledge of the basis that is its own state". It is "reflexively self-aware primordial wisdom" which is self-reflexively aware of itself as unbounded wholeness. Rigpa is seen as beyond affirmation and negation, acceptance and rejection, and therefore it is known as "natural" and "effortless" once recognized. Because of this, Dzogchen is also known as the pinnacle and final destination of all paths.

La présence éveillée

Limpidité, clarté, transparence, c'est la présence éveillée, quelque soit le nom qu'on lui donne. Elle est toujours là quoiqu'il arrive, qu'on la remarque ou non. Toujours présente, qu'il y ait peu de pensées, beaucoup de pensées. Cette présence ouverte, cette présence illimitée est toujours là. Et on pourrait dire qu'à mesure, soit que les pensées se décantent, soit qu'on devient plus habile, expérimenté, familier, on a la capacité de voir en permanence cette faculté lumineuse de l'esprit qui est derrière toute cette agitation mentale, qui apparaît plus clairement quand les pensées se calment momentanément, comme après un orage quand le ciel se dégage, on remarque d'autant plus le ciel immaculée de l'espace. À mesure où on apprend à reconnaître cela, à se reposer dans cela, à laisser les pensées survenir et se défaire sans effort; comme un oiseau qui passe dans le ciel sans laisser de traces. On laisse les pensées reposer dans leur état naturel, comme une feuille qui tombe et qui se pose. Cette présence éveillée est toujours là. Pour le contemplatif, c'est une expérience extrêmement riche en potentiel.
