Five Ways To Be Real
The Practice of Dzogchen Buddhism
Naturalness and Simplicity
Rely on the Natural State.
Be yourself, your true unaltered self. A meditation instruction
to carry with you: Everything we need is with the natural mind - innately whole
and complete.
So relax.
Authenticity, Non-contrivance, Non-fabrication
There is nirvanic peace in
things left just as they are. Striving and struggle is extra.
Leave it as it is and rest the weary heart and mind. See through
everything, be through
everything - and remain free, luminous and complete.
Openness and Oneness
Stay open-minded and inclusive.
Pure presence is a state of nonjudgmental, non-interfering
choiceless awareness or panoramic attention to the 'is-ness" and
"now-ness" of all things.
Be open to your experience. Let go and let things fall into place as they
will. Perhaps
wherever they fall is the right place.
Awareness and Wisdom
Present awareness knows and
sees what is, as it is. Innate wakefulness is wise and
effective in its own brand of insight and discernment combined with uncommon
common sense.
Spontaneous Energy Flow
With freedom and decontraction,
inexhaustible uninhibited energy is released, surging forth,
bubbling up from within. When we let go and loosen our tight-fisted
grasping, our repetitive
holding patterns, we are buoyed up and become one with the flow. This is
the natural flow,
the sacred zone masters describe. You can access it at will."
