Why do we allow our mind to be conditioned when its nature is as vast as the sky? In the secret teachings of Vajrayana Buddhism known as Dzogchen, they explore this inquiry through the concept of rigpa, a Tibetan word meaning total presence and pristine awareness. Rigpa is the nature of mind which is not touched by anything. It is a nondwelling mind. The great Dzogchen text ‘The Flight of the Garuda’ explains rigpa like no other and reveals that the nature of our mind is truly as vast as the sky.
