5. That's fascinating about the 2 types of Dzogchen.

I once saw a video of Keith Dowman doing a teaching and he truly seemed inhabit the teaching. The impression he left was, "This is the real deal... he's there."

IMO this is a powerful way to present "thusness" or whatever one might want to call it.

When I first encountered teachings on emptiness, they were on the level of examining a table. "If you take one leg away, is it still a table? What if we take two, or three legs away? Now let's take the surface/top of the table away. Is it a table still?" It left me with more questions than answers.

Nice. Thank you. Taraman Jan 2020 #1
