Dzogchen means "Great Perfection" in Tibetan.
It is a high-level practice in Tibetan Buddhism (mostly the Nyingma
school) and the Bön tradition. It teaches that your true nature is
already pure, clear, and awake, and you only need to recognize this
natural state instead of trying to create it.
End partial quote from one of the previous articles regarding Dzogchen practice and Initiation.
Dzogchen is one of the Supreme initiations in Tibetan Buddhism.
The following is in regard to vipaasana
Vipassana is a 10 day word fasting meditation where you never speak with no radio or TV at all. It is to observe yourself and all life around you without any words. The Teacher might talk to you but mostly you are just quiet and so it everyone else at this 10 day Word fast. My oldest daughter has done this because it suited her. I on the other hand have not done a 10 day vipassana Word Fast because I'm not sure it would suit me. Each of us are different in this. My daughter found this very very very empowering. For me, I think I would find it confusing more than anything else but that's just me.
However, my favorite kind of fast (when I could still do this up to age 42 to 45 years old without upsetting my blood sugar level was a 4 day Organic Apple Juice Fast which was amazing for me to do because I really liked where this put me spiritually. However, I would advise going somewhere you love out in nature to do this but be careful of the weather because you will not be as strong as when you eat food so you might get really spacey but in many ways if you are safe enough you will grow in amazing ways in consciousness while praying during a 4 day organic Apple juice Fast.
Or if you want to clear your arteries and veins of plaque and avoid heart bypass surgery in the future try a 30 day Organic Watermelon fast (nothing but watermelon will completely clear your arteries of stuff from Pork and Steak that eventually kills many people in strokes and heart attacks especially over 40 years old.
But, you likely need to do shorter fasts to see if your blood sugar can handle it first. You don't want to die or have to go into the hospital if your health won't allow you to fast. So, be very careful with all of this.
Look for the source of your thoughts. don't define what you are seeing is either good or bad just let your mind throw up literally whatever is there. As your mind clears by doing this a weight will leave your body and soul and this will help you see the world in better and different ways than you ever have before.
In some ways you are reborn by doing this. Christians call this "Being Born Again" so it is very similar to this or possibly exactly the same thing in a different cultural context.
So, try looking for the source of your thoughts for 24 hours for example on a weekend instead of defining anything you see in your mind as good or bad. Just let your mind "literally Throw up everything" so you can have your whole mind cleaned out in this way if you want to.
begin quotes:
Vipassana meditation is an ancient, observation-based technique meaning "to see things as they really are."
Rediscovered by the Buddha over 2,500 years ago, it uses self-awareness
to explore the deep connection between mind and body, aiming to purify
the mind and eliminate suffering through radical equanimity.
Core Principles and Technique
- Self-Observation: Focuses on watching physical sensations and mental processes without reacting or judging.
- Impermanence: Teaches that all sensations and emotions change, helping break cycles of craving and aversion.
- Equanimity:
Cultivates a balanced mind that remains peaceful amid both pleasant and unpleasant experiences.
- Residential Setting: Typically taught through intensive 10-day silent retreats.
- Noble Silence: Total abstinence from talking, reading, writing, and eye contact with others to minimize outer distraction.
- Daily Schedule: Involves roughly 10 hours of daily meditation starting early in the morning.
- Foundation: The first few days focus on breath awareness (Anapana) before transitioning to full body-scanning Vipassana.
