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

D4S2 - The Third Balance, and the Search for Where Mind Exists

Lama Alan · 90 minutes · recorded June 12, 2025

A last session of mindfulness of breathing adds vividness to relaxation and stability already practised, likened to a guitarist's final notes growing softer as the audience listens closer. Lama Alan turns to Dudjom Lingpa's claim that mind, not body or speech, is primary, then investigates where a thought comes from and where it rests. He uses recognising someone by their face to show what counts as observing the mind.
