Description

Dzogchen Semdzins offers a unique approach to meditation, one that is distinct from traditional methods. These 21 exercises, known as semdzins, are designed to open up the mind and reveal its true nature. By using these practices, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of their own consciousness and achieve a state of nonmeditation. The semdzins were collected by Longchenpa in the 14th century and have since been studied and practiced by many. They are categorized into three main functions: pacifying the mind, releasing attachment, and revealing the nature of mind. These exercises can be found in various Buddhist traditions, but Dzogchen is unique in its focus on a nondual refuge. To get the most out of these practices, it's recommended to undertake a short retreat or period of intense engagement with each exercise. This will help you gain familiarity and deepen your understanding of the semdzins. The book includes practical instruction from Longchenpa, as well as commentary from Namkhai Norbu and Keith Dowman.
