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

D2S4 - Four Questions on Happiness, and Reality's Blessings

Lama Alan · 68 minutes · recorded June 12, 2025

Lama Alan admits teachings on suffering and hell realms can leave people tense rather than steadied, unlike those raised inside the tradition from childhood. A guided practice puts four questions to you: what would truly make you happy, what you want from the world, how you want to change, and what you would offer it. He closes with a Tibetan aristocrat who lost everything and called it a blessing, asking whether reality rises up to meet genuine practice.
