Vajra Speech: Pith Instructions for the Dzogchen Yogi

Vajra Speech is a wide ranging collection of pith instructions for the Dzogchen yogi. This Tibetan master’s advice reduces negative emotions and naturally enables loving kindness, compassion and wisdom to flourish. A swan can separate water and milk when drinking. The yogi should be like the swan in separating the milk of original wakefulness from the water of ignorance. Though one might have recognized the awakened state, thoughts will still inflict harm unless one understands how to free them. While remaining in awareness itself, every thought movement, no matter what kind, is like drawing in air. - Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
