Dzogchen Lineage - Home Page


	Welcome to the Dzogchen Lineage
	The purpose of this site is to increase positive thinking and happiness for all sentient beings. Here you will have access to the teachings of the Buddha and especially to the history, teachings and current activities of the Dzogchen Lineage of Buddhism. In its broadest sense, Dzogchen Lineage refers to the limitless expanse and continuous wisdom of Vast Awakening, the Buddha Nature which is the natural enlightened lineage of wisdom and compassion that exists in the mind of every single sentient being. Dzogchen Lineage also refers to the specific transmission of the Buddha's teachings known in Tibetan as "Dzogchen," or "Great Perfection." This is a living lineage that exists in this world, having been passed from master to disciple from the time of the Buddha to the present.
