The Illumination of Primordial Wisdom
D1S1 - The Homage and the Foundations
Lama Alan · 127 minutes · recorded January 1, 2021
Lama Alan Wallace opens his commentary on Dudjom Rinpoche's five page manual, the first Dzogchen text Gyatrul Rinpoche taught him thirty one years ago. He works through the title and the homage to Dorje Drolo, and explains why resting in pristine awareness is the most ferocious response to the maras. Gyatrul Rinpoche's commentary supplies what the root text leaves out: the four revolutions in outlook, refuge and bodhicitta. It closes with a guided meditation on motivation.
Impermanence Motivation and intention Rebirth and continuity The four thoughts that turn the mind The nature of mind Bodhicitta practice Dzogchen Shamatha (calm abiding)
