“Homage to all the vast hosts of victorious ones!
I pay homage to the original protector, Samantabhadra
flawless and totally pure like space,
the deity of the kayas and timeless awareness,
which do not come together or separate,
the glory of both conditioned existence and the peace of nirvana.
For all beings in samsara, which is like an illusion
clearly apparent without truly existing
bound by their reifying perceptions as though in a dream,
the ultimate meaning of great perfection is
that they are by nature totally free.
I will give a detailed explanation of
this supremely spacious state of spontaneous equanimity.”
-The introduction to the Treasury of Basic Space
Beyond effort and achievement is the state of natural ease, the basic space of being. How to breakthrough to find this innate expanse is the focus of a profound Buddhist meditation manual known as profound scripture known as The Treasury of Basic Space, The Choying Dzod (chos dbyings rin po che’i mdzod). It presents the essence of esoteric Tibetan Buddhism, known as Great Perfection, or Dzogchen (rdzogs chen) in verse form. Venerated as a manifestation of the expanse of reality itself, The Treasury of Basic Space is the quintessential Dzogchen text by the fourteenth century master, Longchenpa.
To receive the transmission of this system is a rare and difficult to attain opportunity. Join Buddhist Studies Institute for this special program taught online by two esteemed Dzogchen scholars, Khenpo Yeshi, and Dr. Pema Khandro. Experience the power of the coinciding of study and practice.
