I discuss Dzogchen view and practice in three episodes for the Do Explain podcast:
In my first podcast with Christofer I talk about my early awakening experience, the importance of view in meditation, differences between Tantra and Dzogchen, experiential sameness, renunciation vs. engagement, self-love, no-self, the “should” of being more mindful, the possibility of stabilizing Rigpa, the Evolving Ground community of contemporary Vajrayana practice, Ultraspeaking, silence as a superpower, and other topics.
