Dzogchen Retreat - The Foolish Dharma of an Idiot Clothed in Mud and Feathers by Düdjom Lingpa

D2S2 - Stillness Without Stimulation, and Life After Death

Lama Alan · 88 minutes · recorded June 12, 2025

In the guided practice we remain still without stimulation or boredom, using the breath as an anchor rather than entertainment. Lama Alan surveys the basic supports of a contented life, food, shelter, clothing, medical care and education, before turning to the first of the text's foundation stones: whether consciousness continues after death. He argues the question cannot be set aside, since the rest of the practice depends on how it is answered.
