Mahāyāna, Zen and Tibetan Buddhism

Dzogchen, held as the highest teaching in the Nyingma school and in Bön, teaches that the mind’s nature, rigpa, is primordially pure and complete. Its practice consists in recognizing that nature through the teacher’s introduction and resting in it, rather than in gradual construction.
